Diet Week Nine

Well, well, well. After the previous week's slide Southern Man sort of gave up on the strict diet for a while. No, he didn't stuff his face with bread and pasta but he did follow the guidelines of his Southern Man Platter: didn't watch portion sizes at all, had an occasional beer with dinner, and even broke out the long-hidden candy stash for an occasional treat.

Net result: Monday morning weight back down to the all-time low of two weeks ago.

So Southern Man is going to do a couple of "strict" diet days this week (those yucky protein shakes) and see if he can shake off a few more pounds. And now the next goal is weight redistribution. Southern Man is still not happy with the size of his belly relative to his chest but he's been quite lax on the workout portion of this regime so he's going to try to lift at least a little bit three or four evenings this week.
