Weight Loss Week Four: Eating Too Many Burritos Will Break Your Scale

So apparently my scale is broken. I stepped on it this morning and nothing happened. I’m assuming the battery died, and it’s one of those large rectangular ones you never have anywhere else in your house, so I was SOL this morning for my weigh in. Sorry folks. But let’s just say I lost 30 lbs. and I’m wearing a bikini to work. Let’s just say that.

Here’s how I did, you be the judge:

Weight Loss Week Two: Smothercating People Is Not Exercise

Not every walk has to be on the treadmill.

Weight Lost This Week: +1 lb.
Weight Loss Still to Go: 5.2 lbs.

So I gained a pound this week, but I’m really not surprised considering I ate about 200 slices of apple pie, 400 oatmeal cookies and 27 bagels (trying to cut back on the carbs) on Sunday alone.

Denny Carroll Can’t Even Handle This Right Now

When I was in preschool we used to have Cheese Nips for snack time and I used to cry because I came from a Cheez-It only household and they just aren’t the same, no matter what Mrs. Gilles tries to tell you. They’re just not.

Here to prove it, secondratesnacks.com is currently holding a vote as to which is the better cheese-flavored delight: the obviously way more awesome Cheez-It or the sad and lonely Cheese Nip. Clearly, I’m partial, as there are actually people in the world who would rather (gross) eat a Nip.

“I mentioned I was going to compare these to the intern at work (way back earlier this month when I had a job),” writes whoever it is that runs Second Rate Snacks, “and she felt very strongly about Cheese Nips and how disgusting Cheez-Its were, almost like she thought people who favored Cheez-Its also ate dog food.” Well, I don’t like this intern one bit (also, can we talk about the abundance of bloggers who say they used to have a job? This does not bode well for me).

Vote here, and vote well. If you don’t make the right choice, Denny will make you sit on the couch for 15 whole minutes. And you know what that right choice is.
