What's that large number at the end of my weight?

It's a "9."

Formerly it was a "4."

It would appear that last weekend's trip indulgements, and this week's sick sedentary lifestyle have combined to make the perfect storm of a five-pound weight gain.

Is Ma discouraged?

NO! She will buckle down and utilize the Idiot Proof Diet techniques that have served her so well in the past.

At least until Labor Day. My goal is to lose five pounds by Monday so I can enjoy one of my famous blackened burgers off the grill

And now, fueled by my power oatmeal breakfast and a small square of Lindt 85% Extra Dark Chocolate, I go to do battle with the lawn.

I still feel a little woozy from the migraine, but mowing ought to knock off a pound or two. You burn more calories when you pick yourself off the lawn after fainting.

VA-ROOOOM

It's also a handy way to get a few shirkers out of bed.

(live it up while you can, guys....school starts directly after Labor Day)

MWAH, HAH HAH, HAH HAH....!
