Two weekends ago, I roasted a whole pig as part of my wedding celebrations. I guess you could call it the end of our ‘Big Fat Wedding Tour’. It was delicious.
For the past two weeks, I have also been walking a picket line. All members of the Canadian Media Guild have been locked out by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. The CMG represents me whenever I provide freelance contributions to the CBC. For background on the dispute, go to this CMG webpage.
Between the pig roast and all the goodies that have been offered on the picketline, my waistline is expanding beyond its usual bulge. While the lockout continues, I will blog about picket line food and my efforts to lose weight while on the line in a series of entries made under the ‘Picket-Size Me’ subject heading.
Today I’m heading down to the CBC Building in Vancouver, where I will do a weigh-in and clip on my pedometer for the first time. Read more here by tomorrow morning….or come down and see me on the line sometime!
