Confessions of an addict

Alright, it is time to stop fooling myself. I have finally come to realize that I have a problem. I thought it wasn't a big deal, and I thought I could control it but apparently I cannot. I thought it was just a personal problem, but now I realize it is affecting my social life and my relationships with others as well. I can't afford therapy, and I don't have time for a support group, so I'm just going to lay it all out on the table right now and rely on my fellow bloggers to get me through this. Here goes:

Hi, My name is Big A, and I wear socks with sandals. Not just sometimes, but virtually every day from April through November. I wear them with jeans, dress pants, shorts (both play and dress), and virtually anything else. I wear them to work, to church, to picnics, ball games, family gatherings, and even while I am mowing the lawn. The last time I had to make an appearance in court for sundry traffic violations (fortunately, that has been a while now) I'm pretty sure I wore them.

I do this because I like the way it feels, and increasingly I enjoy the attention I get when people mention it.

Whew... glad I got that off my chest. Now on to the diet report:

Workout Had to go to work early this morning so no workout. I justified this in my own head because I will be playing softball tonight. I'm sure that 2 hours of standing around with brief moments of activity sprinkled in should be equivalent to a normal workout.

Weigh-in Feeling pretty good this morning so I was not afraid to weight myself - however, BECAUSE I was feeling so good I totally spaced it and forgot to step on the scale.

Breakfast 1 1/2 Tuna fish sandwich on light bread - (Tuna salad mixed with Light Miracle Whip instead of Mayo - which is actually pretty good. Kind of sweet like good Ham salad). 280 Calories

Lunch Free lunch today, so I had to eat what was offered - Bertucci's pizza. I got to the meeting early and grabbed myself two slices of the "sporkie" which is always the first to go. If you ever go to Bertucci's, I highly recommend the sporkie. It is delicious and fun to say repeatedly. Sporkie.
No idea how many calories, though. Sporkie

Snack After softball, I was starving and could not wait for dinner, so I had a small handful of Cape Cod SEA Salt and Vinegar chips. These may be my favorite seafood of all time. 150 Calories

Dinner Stuffed Salmon, Stuffed Clams and some Shrimp Cocktail for an appetizer. The Shrip Cocktail was great - the stuffed Salmon and the Stuffed Clams left a little bit to be desired. These were not home-made by someone's mom's secret recipe, but rather pulled out of the grocery case, so I guess I got what I deserved. I had to use a liberal amount of Ketchup to add some flavor. My wife also mixed up some rice Pilaf, but when I discovered that there were 200 calories in a single serving, I decided not to eat it. About 600 Calories


Total for the day : 1030 + the sporkie.
