Not sure if you astute folks realized this amidst all of my run bad / play bad whining, but I shed 5 pounds last month, despite going to Disney World and participating in their dining plan.  Orlando seems to attract some unbelievably out of shape people - renting scooters to fat people who "can't" walk around the park seems like a booming business over there.  So to cater to it's clientele, Disney gives you a ton of food as well as multiple buffet options.  But still lost 5 pounds baby!

All right, truth be told, it was probably just water weight.  Or maybe I took a particularly vicious dump the day before.  Who knows?  I'm pretty sure it's not the scale tho, because I got a scale that gives pretty much the same reading when you get on repeatedly.  This is quite different from our last scale that we got at Ikea for $5, where not only was it always 5-10 pounds light, you could keep stepping on it until you got the weight that you wanted.  Whenever I got on, I always felt like I was stepping up to one of those carnival weight guessing booths, because you literally had no idea what it was going to say.  Mrs. Fly still keeps that scale because when she was pregnant and extremely overweight (for a pregnant woman), that scale made her feel better.  She cracks me up in so many different ways.

Tonight is the FTOPS main event.  Full Tilt had the decency to allow us to use FT points to enter, so rather than shell out $640, I just used a bunch of FT points I had lying around.  There are only so many TVs and laptops I can get, and I probably accrue like $700 worth of points every month.  I'm pretty sure I'll have some more whining to do tomorrow after I get aggravatingly bounced out of this tournament, so stay tuned.  But at lest it didn't cost me any money!
