Operation ÖSTERREICH: Exodus 90, Day 45

Weekly Wednesday Weigh-in
Last weigh-in: 328.0 lbs
This weigh-in: 325.6 lbs.
Difference: -2.4 lbs.

We have now equaled the record low weight for this latest iteration of Operation ÖSTERREICH, set back in late September. It has taken me five months to make up the lost ground. In the ancient words, restored to public consciousness in these latter days by Philip Rivers, nunc cœpi—now I begin.


The purpose of our Lenten fasting is self-improvement, but it is not to lose weight. We are to become ever more detached from the passing things of this world & ever more attracted to the eternal things of God Most High, through the Eternal Word made flesh, our Lord Jesus Christ. I seek to lose weight not for myself, because truly, truly, I have been fat & happy lo these many decades, but to fit myself better to the service of our Lord & His holy Church.
