That's me in the blue pants!
Weight Lost This Week: 3.8 lbs.
Weight Loss Still to Go: 4.2 lbs.
The first week of Weight Watchers is always hell, and this week definitely was, since my intense dieting landed me in the doctor’s office. Ok, not really, it was just bad timing. And the doctor basically said I’m just being a baby, but whatever, she doesn’t know what she’s saying. Here’s a rundown of how it went:

Kate Moss says nothing tastes as good as being thin feels. She can suck it.
As you can tell from the sidebar on the right, I have a lot of weddings coming up. All family. All big. So in anticipation of these shindigs, I’ve decided to join Weight Watchers to drop some of the poundage I’ve amassed this summer, basically so I can look better than all the brides (oh, sue me, it’s true).
There was a good amount of time during the spring when I lost like 20 lbs., mostly because I lost all interest in food. This is not called weight loss mom, it’s called starvation. Since I’ve started eating again, my choices have been pretty terrible, i.e. Chipotle burritos, potato chips, Coke, quesadillas, movie theater popcorn and ravioli. Needless to say, it wasn’t long before I got a J.Lo booty.

Drivers in Beijing have been stuck in 10 days worth of traffic that is just now starting to somewhat breakup, according to reports. Officials are predicting that traffic won’t be completely cleared until some time in September. And I thought driving on the Mass Pike/George Washington Bridge/Long Island Expressway at rush hour was hell.
Shai Oster of the Wall Street Journal said today that traffic on National Highway 110, to the west of Beijing, began around Aug. 13 when construction on the roadway, also known as the Beijing-Tibet Highway, started. The closure of other roads around the same time added to the crunch of cars. And, not to miss the opportunity to bank on the horribleness, vendors have set up shop along the highway, selling things like noodles at inflated rates. Basically, tiny villages are springing up all over National Highway 110 as people await the chance to escape gridlock.
I haven’t heard anything about the Chinese government bringing in port-a-potty’s or portable showers along the route, so I’m assuming it’s getting pretty grimy out there. But I have to ask, what are these people driving to that’s important enough to wait 10 days for? Freedom?
