diet time !
chiro wants me to drop some tonnage , since maybe because i am borderline morbidly obese , it might help releive some pressure off my lower back herniated disk / bulging disk .
yesterday , i had a peice of chicken the size of a quarter smothered in rosemary , basil , tyme coriander, 12 baby carrots (premature) , and some rock hard red "new" potato's (coulda fooled me!) with an unusual mixture of spices and shards of lemongrass fennels and cloves . i guess this diet book my wife got from the library figures if the spices are in equal amounts with the dish , you wont feel the need to eat a normal portion . i dont gorge my self , but this portion control is crazy . i hadnt really eaten in 24 hours , so i cooked a frozen pizza 2 hours later and ate 3/4 of it !
today i got to have breakfast , at 6 p.m. after being up since 7 a.m , it was 2 tortillas dried in the oven to the point of razor sharpness , 3 peices of celery that was so tough and sour i think it was actually a mutant strain of rhubahrb , 3 1/2 millimeter shards of red / green pepper and 3 baby carrots , with "dip"
some pink stuff made out of yogurt , cottage cheese , and the stuff the throw on the vomit in grammar school .
dinner was a treat , french dip , roast beef on a wheat roll with some strange tasting sauce and a very sour salad of dandilions , pine needles , and thistle burrs .
i can only picture the portly author of this book laughing his ass off when he came up with this shit . plus its no white bread , flour , sugar etc . i think i have to cut back on the beers as we'll 12 plus german beers ady aint excactly easy on my profile. i mean it would be nice to not have a 75 pound belly to lug around and it is embaressing to attach two belts together to get them to reach . i also had to take the drivers seat out of the volvo cause the steering wheel pressed into my belly too much to steer , i sit in the back now , its a little more roomy .
so as time goes by i will try my darndest to keep on track with my new diet . i really want to slim down for many reasons and apreciate the fact my wife is willing to go to all the extra work of finding recipes and unusual spices / hedge trimmings . i guess i will always have this thread to go back and remember the good old days of butter , beef , bread and beers , and beers , and beers .
oh i forgot to mention , i get one day a week to pig out !
