Operation ÖSTERREICH

Weekly Wednesday Thursday Weigh-in
Last weigh-in: 345.0 lbs
This weigh-in: 342.4 lbs.
Difference: -2.6 lbs.

This is not a pep talk, this are just reality: Experience has shown how entirely feasible it is to lose two pounds, even two & a half pounds in a week. This is not a pie-in-the-sky goal, this is real. Even such modest progress, over the course of a year, would change my whole body, requiring me to buy all new pants. Let's buy all new pants!

Today is Fat Thursday (Fat Thursday-link), which is not an observed custom in these United States—but, by thunder, it should be! Soon, the great fast of Lent begins. Ahead of that great fast, 'tis Catholic tradition ("small t" tradition, as opposed to "capital T" Tradition) to feast: Carnival (Carnival-link) culminating in Fat Tuesday, as known by the French Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday-link). The great fast of Lent, the penitential season to prepare for the central event in history, the Passion, Death, & Resurrection of Christ, is nigh; feast—party!—while the ye still can.

Bonus! Lied von ÖSTERREICH
