Diet Log - Week 16 (4/23/03)

On Noah's third or fourth Christmas, he got a toy semi-truck that made different sounds when you pressed various buttons. He loved this thing. His favorite button was one that emitted a gruff truck-driver voice that said "Let's get movin!" I heard that blasted thing about 20 times a day, and it's been burned into my psyche.

For the last 3 days, I've had a little truck driver in my head. It's time to get my butt back on track, folks. I didn't gain much after the holiday weekend, but it's still more than I'm happy about. And this is the last week before the 4-week report.

So..."Let's get movin'!"
