Atkins Diet pt2

So, when deciding that you are going to try the Atkins Diet plan your meals before you start. Look up recipes and fill your fridge with enough for the week and so that when you go poking around looking for a snake you won't get tempted to grab something carb filled and pre-made.

And... That didn't last long. I had Swiss cheese and ham for lunch and I suddenly felt ill. This was my first warrning flag. My second came later that night after I got home from work. We had bacon, an assortment of cheese and the ham&cheese that I had had for lunch.

I thought about it and every time my stomach would lurch at the thought of eating more meat & cheese. Then the thought of having to do this for the next god knows how long made me almost cry.

So I made some garlic-y death ceaser salad dressing and was happy.

Oh, also? Telling my dad that I only agreed to the Atkins Diet to 'shut my mom up' was not a good idea. In my defense this happened before I finished making my salad.

Now, I understand that this would only have been for a few weeks and such but it just isn't for me. I know it works for my mom and other people though so it is worth a try.

Personally I hate diets. I'm happy with how I look because I know that my lack of exercise if the problem. Which is easy for me to fix when it stops snowing. I also have the tools to work indoors but I get board with this. I'm going to be getting a collapsible bike when I get my taxes back. Mostly because it'll fit in my car and I can ride it after work. Also to bring it to NYC when I visit my sister.

Atkins Diet

I'm going to give it a try Monday. My mom has been nagging me but I also want to try it. Which sucks because I just got some Cinnamon Toast Crunch and other tasty carb filled goodies.

Also, my will power is not so good.

but if it works then I can go down a pant size and be all happy. I hope I don't loose anything in the top department but alas I hear that is the first to go. How ever getting to snack on bacon any time I want and not have to feel guilty? Total win.


Lets see how long I'll stick with this.

Yee Old Diet

Yeah... It's not pretty and it doesn't really work if your not running around like a little kid. I would love to know when I got so shy that I wouldn't even go out side and ride my bike. True my bike is bright neon pink, but still.... If I could ride it al la goth then I should be fine on it now right?

Yeah... next I should sell that bridge in Brooklyn that I have a share in...

I'm not on a diet per say. I watch what I eat but I still enjoy my self. My parents seem to think that they need to intervene on my behalf on almost a daily biases. I'm 28 and they act as if I'm an infant. I am to the point that I might just start swearing a blue streak at them each time they ask to see if they will just stop bothering. I don't think it will work though, I already rant at them for an hour after they nag me.

But the diet...

Two small pieces of bread with peanut butter, a slice of pizza/small sandwich/ cup of soup/sushi for lunch, a small snack, scrambled eggs/steak/something for dinner and then bed. it's defiantly not all that interesting but it seems to be working. my weight actually stayed stable during the holiday food fest so that made me happy.

I just hope that when I do add more activities to my day my hunger won't skyrocket like it usually does. Because that is such a pain. :-(

Happy Holidays!

And Merry Christmas!

Social taboos aside I have been insanely busy this holiday season. I have no idea why or how I was so busy, just that I was. I am so tired right now. :-(

Also I will never ever go into a supermarket, let alone a liquore store, on December 24th again.

A Liquore store sales guy that must hate their job. Why else would he ask me if i had questions and leave before I could say yes? Then when I hunt him down 10 min later he looked at me then walked away? He had been talking to another sales guy that answered my question for me. I left that store and will probably not go there again.

The second one had what I was looking for, a non-sweet mead, and while busy they waited for me to look at what they showed me to see if i had a question. This place is a part of the shopping center of parking doom, but they have a bigger selection then my little local place that I usaly go to.

The supermarket was a mob scene. I swear to god if my parents wait until the last minuet again I am not running out. We didn't even cook the things they needed me to get.

I know that we are not ready for New Years eve. I'm a sucker so I'll probably be running out tonight for them.

Lend Me Your Ear!

This is, sadly, less about Mel Brooks and more about the fact that I cornered my dad and got him to listen to me rant about blogging.

Now let me point out that my dad is a saint in situations like this. He will ask all the right questions. It's insane. He has sat through my yakking about EverQuest for several hours on a car trip before. For that alone earned him sainthood in my books.

So, while he was trapped with me at Denny's we got onto the topic of blogs.

He seemed mildly interested in it. I gave him what answers I could on how it works and where I promoted and such. He made some good points about things I was probably doing wrong. I mentioned my fashion-esta sister should start one. Manly so I can snoop but she always has fantastic stories.

I'm hoping my dad starts one. If only to give him something to do after he retires. But all in all I had a wonderful time.
