I was reminded of it being Fat Friday at REI when I bought a pair of swim trunks for tomorrow's swim (trying to alleviate my battered knees)... This is what the tag looks like, courtesy of our friends at Patagonia:
If you can't tell (perhaps my hangnails are obstructing your view)... the size is XL. Unless you live in Europe or Asia (Eurasia) ... then it's XXL. Subtext: "Welcome to America, if this was any place else, you'd be fat!" ... or more aptly, perhaps "Welcome to America where you're already pretty fat, but anywhere else and you'd be REALLY fat!" (as an aside, you might have noticed a few continents are missing from this tag... my guess is there is a chance they aren't selling a lot of Patagonia swim trunks in the continents not already mentioned).
Anyway, food wasn't great today, oatmeal for breakfast was good, but then a quick lunch on the run ended up being hardly anything, and dinner was a hamburger patty at REI (employee grill out to celebrate bonus checks) and a clif bar. Not ideal. Food: C+
I didn't work out today, just work. Distance: o
Weight: 235.4 lbs ... 3 pound drop from last Friday. Not bad. "They" say you shouldn't lose more than 1% of your body weight per week (in the context of healthy weight loss), which makes sense to me, but I'm so far over what I normally weigh that I don't think it would hurt to lose a little more than that for the first few weeks here. Anyway, decent progress... on we go... (I forgot to get a resting heart rate this morning, maybe I'll try tomorrow)
