This was a good weeks in my effort to maintain 200 - because I'm right back there. 


Yeah, me! OK, enough celebrating. There is still life to live. 


After getting in at 4am last night/this morning, I slept until noon. That meant not eating 'breakfast' until after 1, and cheating started late. That breakfast and some dark chocolate-covered acai berries and blueberries was all I could fit in before I had to start getting ready for a Valentine's Day dance with a jazz sextet at a mostly-gay nightclub downtown. I drank most of my day's water there, but the buffet that was part of my pay turned out to be a dessert buffet. I didn't mind (it was good!) but I was hungry after the gig, so headed out to Mama Nancy's for a date with my friend, Big Anthony.

Daily Commentary

I played a fancy dinner-dance tonight. I had to wear a tuxedo... and I actually have a tuxedo. The last time I wore it was at my wedding in 2004. And the time before that was probably 4 years earlier.

It didn't fit, though - because it was too big. I'm very happy about that. Very. This is what the lifestyle changes I've made are for.
