Why I will probably not lose weight this week...

In a word...Musikfest!

I actually did pretty good this week, until my wife and I did our traditional trek up to Musikfest in Bethlehem, PA.

For those of you in eastern Pennsylvania, I highly recommend making a trip to this week long festival. Lots of good music, good food, and beer (notice I left off the good part).

I've been going every year since 1996 when I was a junior at Moravian College. Heck, back when I lived in Bethlehem after college, I would actually take days off work to just hang out down at the festival, drink beer, and be with friends. These days, I usually will head up for a few hours and rehash old times and then have to drive back. But it's still a great time and only as expensive as you wish to make it (admission is free...you only need to pay for food, drink, and the premium acts).

For me, there are certain eating traditions that aren't exactly the best in terms of weight loss. Here was my diet between 12-4PM on Saturday:

• Loaded nachos (Shared)
• 2 Pints of Beer
• Pulled pork sandwich
• Roasted Ear of Corn with Butter, Parmesan, and Spices (Shared)
• Bratwurst on a Roll (Shared a little)
• Chocolate Ice Cream between 2 Belgian Waffles (Shared a little)

So you can see why I'm not feeling too confident this week. I'm betting I break even this week and I will take it...
