Eat Like a Bachelor(ette)

Ok, so the crash diet quickly crashed. I don't even think I followed it for a full day (though maybe 24 hours-ish between Friday and Saturday). I may try it again, but I was super DISCOURAGED by my friend H. telling me about the horrors of soy (I needed to have soy snacks to stay full on the go) and my other friends K. and N. giving me a super hard time about the diet in the first place ("You don't need to lose weight. Just be plump."). Argh, you guys are killing me here! So instead I totally gave in to holiday treats and have eaten whatever, both yesterday and today. Today is particularly egregious, however, at least so far. Here it is:

Breakfast
A small glass of grapefruit juice
An entire bag of microwave popcorn

Mid-morning snack
A small bag of caramel corn with peanuts and pretzels, conveniently given to me by my coworker as I was finishing breakfast--the perfect complement!

Lunch
A small slice of fruitcake from the office kitchen
Salad of mixed greens with sour cream/hot chili garlic sauce dressing

It can only get better from here, surely.

The Kate Middleton Diet

My life is fairly boring right now, so for want of anything better to do, I'm going to start a crash diet! I haven't really ever done this, so it will be interesting. I think what I'm going to do is eat three eggs a day for a week and see what happens. I might get some non-fat Greek yogurt too. This diet is kind of inspired by the Kate Middleton-tested Dukan diet, which has a first phase of only lean protein. Most of the items on the protein list are meat, however, which I don't particularly like (and I don't really want to fathom what starting to eat a diet predominantly consisting of meat after almost NEVER eating it would do to my digestion!) or want to buy. My idea is to make a cheap grocery diet. This will also work well, as I'm about to finish off pretty much the rest of my groceries. I will have a bag of salad to work on tomorrow, as well as some Indian simmer sauce, but after that I will be all set to start my diet! Oh, and I might buy some oat bran as well, because apparently you're allowed to have a small amount of that each day, as well as water. Let's see if I lose some weight, this will be funny!

I Have a Blog

And I'm not afraid to use it! Today started off seeming like a blogalicious day. After all, it's Monday, the day when things start to happen that you will spend the rest of the week trying to clean/finish/control/dismember. I got off on the wrong foot, of course, by hitting the snooze; and I blame that for the fact that for about an hour this morning I though it was Tuesday, or possibly Thursday. I did do my workout, simply because I couldn't up with a plausible excuse not to--I felt mainly fine, especially after the hot shower last.
