Need one of Daniel's Magic Scales


Weighed in this morning at 258.8, have only dropped my "pizza weight" and a little.


Figured my work and travel this week would have stressed 5-6 lbs off at least.


Spent a good part of the week fighting fires on production of the icing for McDonald's Cinnamon Melts. Trying to figure out if we have an ingredient problem, operator error, too picky of a customer, or a "too damn hot in the plants" problem.


Finished my week with a 13-hour Wednesday (Smoothie and Hebrew National breakfast, cold cuts for lunch, and Italian sausage w/ pasta sauce for supper). Continued working in my dreams, woke up at 3, chose a couple more hours of sleep over just going into work.


Thursday- Went in a 7, meetings all day, finished up with a 2 hour 42 minute conference call, made reservations to fly to Utah the next morning, left work at 8:45, home by 9:30. Don't remember breakfast, cold cuts and cold veggies with ranch dip for lunch, supper - passed on pizza, had salad topped with egg salad instead.


Next 4 phrases spoken to Kim; I'm home. Goodnight. Good morning. Goodbye..... (all with "I love you" of course)


Friday - Up at 3:30, flight at 6:30, stopped in Denver (had the inside of a sausage,egg, and cheese biscuit), then on to Salt Lake. Made it to the plant by 11, lunch at noon with our quality manager and the customer (Cobb salad and coffeeeee). Went back to the plant, on the line until 9:30, off to Chili's for a 1/2 rack of ribs, small sirloin, salad, and a tall Coors light. Plane delayed from 11:45 PM to 12:15 AM. Got upgraded to first class, asleep before we took off, woke up in our final descent. Talked to Tucker plant (running same product) while driving home from airport, got another 3hrs of shut-eye. Breakfast - pass. Lunch - 2 double cheeseburgers, bottom bun only, Diet Coke. Afternoon snack - 3 Miller Lites at the pool. Snack while grilling - Another beer, mixed nuts til Kim took them away from me. Supper - T-bone, salad. Watched about the first 3 laps of the NASCAR race and was out until 7 this morning.


Impressed with everyone else's progress. Daniel - just toss the old scale or are you wanting to see if it says 299 when you are down to 230? When is Holly going to go "official"?

Oh, man. Could you have a more stressful time? When do you get a vacation, eh?

(Working in your dreams is the capper.)
