If you Google "bloated turkey," this comes up. WTF.

The last time I posted a weigh-in was October 10. I knew it had been a while, but I didn't think it was that long ago. My apologies.

The troof: today, 28 Nov 2012, I weigh 219.0.

More troofs: This doesn't bother me.

These 2.5 pounds are not insignificant, and simultaneously also not significant. It just is. Please don't think I'm taking this laying down. Let me explain:

Since October 10, I have gone home to visit my family a whopping FOUR times. Also during that time, I celebrated my birthday with three parties (one of which was a 12 hour tailgating marathon). Weekend guests, Thanksgiving, alcohol, and pumpkin pie were all sprinkled in during the last six weeks et voilà, I gained weight.

Add it all up and it should be of no surprise to anyone. NO ONE.

Even more troofs: Several times over the last six weeks, I have seen the scale read "225"... maybe even more, not that you'll get me to admit to it. Most recently was on Sunday when I was CERTAIN that my almost 17km of running plus my good eating choices had evened out to zero Thanksgiving pounds.

At another point in my life, I would probably be upset that me weight has been stagnant, well... tightly fluctuating. I had hoped to be sub 200 sooner rather than later, but my pants still fit and I feel good about myself and I have a wealth of memories and good feelings from the life I've been living over the last six weeks.

Like I said last time, I've been living life. And a good one it's been, 2.5 pounds and all.
