Final Day of "Protein Only"!!!

Day: 3
Current Weight: 232.7 lb

So it's the weekend, and I feel compelled to tell you that the clinic that watches my eating habits is closed. It's a shame since they have a much better scale than I do at home. Well, at least it looks more expensive than the one I use. So, essentially, I weigh myself twice so I can keep track of the weight loss. All I know is that I lost another three pounds (yay!), but won't really know my exact weight (relative to my initial weight on Day 1) until Monday's update. I just started to sound like an engineer just then, describing the calibration and tare weight differences of two scales so I fully understand if you've moved on to another website by now.

It's just as well, the one thing I learned that you shouldn't do while eating a very limited amount of proteins and carbs is wash your car. Hey, it was all grimy and stuff and I washed my mom and sister's cars last week. My dad washed his car. And I was feeling left out. Bottom line is: I'm pooped and don't feel like writing another two page didactic on why I'm on this weight loss program.

I will, however, leave you with an idea that entered my mind when my folks were eating normal people food. My dog went over to my mom and dad and laid his chin on either one of their knees and they would respond by giving him a piece of whatever it was that they were eating. They wouldn't even look down at the dog. I tried to sneak under the table and see if I could get any of that action. But apparently there was no room under the dining table for a 20-pound dog and a 232.7-pound dude. Plus, it didn't help that I almost broke my dad's toe trying to beg for food.

On a brighter note, the incident reminded me of an episode of "I Love Lucy" where Lucy was trying to lose weight for one of Ricky's shows. The episode is called "The Diet" (who knew they named episodes even then?), and features an obsucure reference to a random dog (this was before they had that terrier, Fred) named Butch that was staying with the Ricardoes for some reason. Hilarity ensues and I'd love to post the episode on here but apparently it's nowhere to be found on the interweb. In exchange, I hope you enjoy this obscure clip of "The Nanny" featuring Lucy.
