Greetings from Iowa

Hello my loyal disciples! Greetings from Des Moines, Iowa! The only news I have to report is complete and utter failure. I have succumbed to the chub. The battle was lost as soon as I landed in Minneapolis, MN. I was weak, starving, and grabbed a burrito with my buddy. Then, we loaded up all of his belongings into a Uhaul and headed south towards Des Moines. During the drive I got a very strong case of the “fuck its”, and purchased a Cinnabon from a truck stop. It was at this point I realized I was under full control of America's bread basket. I was riding a high of the most powerful drug in the world. I was drowning in a sea of gravy and the only way to survive was to eat my way out. So I did! I was able to turn things around today. After helping Travis and Stephanie settle into their new house, I made it to a gym. I think it’s important not to dwell on the mistakes that were made on this trip. I am going to take a moment to focus on the positives. Despite wanting to drink, I resisted the temptation. I was able to make it to the gym and still get my reading done in the midst of all the chaos. I have chosen to omit my food choices, but just know they were very naughty. The battle against the chub rages on tomorrow!
