The Lost Goat

Ever seen a lost goat? When a goat thinks it is lost, it runs around in a panic, screaming madly for the herd. I've seen goats step around the barn, lose line of sight on the other goats, and run around like this for fifteen minutes before figuring out the herd is only a few feet away. The herd ignores the panicked goat entirely, unless the lost goat is young enough for its mama to care. As a lost goat, where better to find other goats than on the seemingly endless plain of the blogosphere?

10 Pound Challenge 4 Week Update

On Monday, the official day of the update, I weighed 202 pounds. On Sunday, the day before, I weighed 200 pounds. Today, I weighed 201 pounds. I'm not sure if the problem is the scale or my crazy eating and sleeping schedule. I don't want to get a new scale, though, because as long as this one is reasonably precise, then the accuracy doesn't matter. And it appears that it is precise to +/- 1.5 pounds, which is not that much in the grand scheme of things. I needed to weigh 201 and 2/3 pounds on Monday to be on track; I am pretty close.

I'm not sure how I am losing weight, since I am not watching calories at all and have not exercised in almost two weeks. The challenge has kept me away from mindless snacking on sugar, though; perhaps that is enough to drop a bit of weight simply because of the caloric requirements of nursing. I think I am just about done with this cold, and I plan to begin working out again on Thursday because tomorrow is just too crazy to even try.
