I may have gained weight, but boy was it good!


O.k. Here's a little word of advice for my fellow pageant pals. Don't go to the South during pageant season if you are at all scared of gaining weight. My family fed me like a horse. The problem was...I let them and it was so good! Now I know why folks are heavy down there. There is just too much good food. Let me just recap a little of my menu. Cracker Barrel fried shrimp, green beans, mashed potatoes, hashbrown casserole, biscuits, cornbread. Buttered biscuits and jam with bacon for breakfast. Jim and Nick's barbeque sandwich, cheddar cornbread muffins, baked beans for lunch. Let's see what else, hmmmm. Oh yeah, country fried steak with mashed potatoes, green beans and onion rings. I'm tellin ya folks. I think I gained five pounds in five days. I figured it's all right, because I won't be able to eat like that for a year or so and I'll get back into my exercise routine (crossing my fingers) soon. When I look in the mirror I just don't feel the same. I guess it's a good thing I live all the way out west to get me away from the table. Hopefully I haven't scared you and don't scoff at lack of self control, because I know you secretly wish it was you!

Lindsay, you are so funny! Honestly you have such a wonderful figure - I doubt five pounds would make much of a difference! Glad you are back - I look forward to seeing you in Feb.!

Well, you gained 5 lbs, but it would have been 10 for me :o) Sounds so yummy!

You are too funny! I go through 5 lbs up and down like crazy! So you are not alone in that! It will come off in no time!

Let me know how it is to lose those 5 lbs. I am having trouble getting the last few pounds of my baby fat off. What is your exercise routine? Do you need a partner? Glad that you are home.
