I stupidly decided to jump on the “let’s lose weight this summer as a collective bunch of fat bloggers striving to be thin bloggers” contest bandwagon over at Craig’s. I say stupidly, because I regretted it almost as soon as I did it and I’m not so sure I’ll be able to lose the 20 pounds I committed to losing.

I did not do well on Day One (today). A recap of what food products I have consumed:

1.  Coffee with Coffeemate creamer - 2 large cups. (I wouldn’t normally think this counted except that it’s not lowfat creamer.)

2.  A large-ish Giant^TM salad-bar salad, with ranch dressing and croutons. (See, I was trying to be good. Until...)

3.  Tortilla chips with black bean dip, queso, and sour cream (LW is evil, EVIL - even moreso because she’s tall and skinny and can eat whatever she wants without gaining an ounce on her bony butt. *sigh*)

4.  Two Twizzler sticks (I don’t know how it happened. One minute I was chatting with someone, the next thing I knew I had half a Twizzler hanging out out my mouth!)

5.  A rather large bowl of Golden Grahams cereal with 1% milk.

So I was feeling poorly about my chances since I managed to eat my way through Day One and then I read this! The gloves are off, Dave. I will lose those 20 pounds by Labor Day. And I say that the one who isn’t able to lose the weight by Labor Day buys the other one dinner. Harrumph!
