Operation ÖSTERREICH

Weekly Wednesday Weigh-in
Last weigh-in: 343.8 lbs
This weigh-in: 341.8 lbs.
Difference: -2.0 lbs.

I'm back to where I was a fortnight hence, still two-fifths of a pound heavier (+0.2 lbs.) than I was two fortnights hence (341.6 lbs.), the record low since the Weekly Wednesday Weigh-in resumed. Still, I've lost weight in the last seven days, which is the goal, to lose weight continually until I reach a healthy, sustainable size. Rome wasn't built in a day; this isn't a matter of one dramatic gesture, but a day-by-day, hour-by-hour, minute-by-minute commitment to a more healthful lifestyle. If I could lose just two pounds every week, an entirely achievable rate, I'd lose one hundred four pounds in a year. Imagine what two hundred thirty-seven pounds (237 lbs.) would look like, how it would feel! Keep at it!

Bonus! Lied von ÖSTERREICH
"Weird Al" Yankovic, "Theme from Rocky XIII" from "Weird Al" Yankovic in 3-D (The Last Angry Blob)

Commentary: "Weird Al" is, by virtue of his keen insight into the absurdities of our collapsing society, quite an adept futurist. The plot of "Theme from Rocky XIII" is, in essence if not in specific detail, the plot of the sixth Rocky movie, Rocky Balboa.
"Fat and weak, what a disgrace!
Guess the champ got too lazy,
Ain't gonna fly now, he's just taking up space,
Sold his gloves, threw his eggs down the drain…

"Never eats while on the job,
He heard it's good to stay hungry…"
