The match

I used to date a guy in high school who wrestled heavy weight on the wrestling team. As a wrestler he would have to weigh in at match time and couldn't be over a certain weight. His pattern was that he wouldn't eat all day of the match and then scarf all his favorite food right after the meet was over. It was a little disconcerting to watch but then again, I never understood why guys would want to touch each other's sweaty bodies on a gritty mat. Ick. So my dilemma is kind of the reverse since the managers in our district decided to hold the initial weigh in on Monday and our contest would begin then. Well, dang. I've been working at this and losing a couple pounds so now I feel like I gotta PACK IT ON! I have the weekend to eat sodium-rich foods so I can gain some water weight for my initial weigh in so it will deceptively look like I have lost more later. Oh brother. This seems wrong on so many levels. I'm off to order a pizza and pour myself a cold drink.

  2. I guess it is knowing you are so far ahead of me and might kick my butt soundly.

  3. Okay girls.... no fighting. I think Staci has the advantage of 20 years so Tess should get the advantage of a couple of extra fake lbs.

  4. I am 10 pounds ahead, but I lost it before the official start date so it doesn't count. I totally screwed myself over because I lost the easiest part fast, the first few pounds.
