Comfort Food

I missed posting yesterday. I started this blog and this diet with all kinds of gusto - I was going to finally do it! I was going to stick with a diet and lose all the weight and I was going to post my triumphs to my blog every day.

That lasted about a week.

I've learned a few truths in the last two months. For one, there is no such thing as "every day" in my life. Each day is unique. Many more of them are in the "sucks" pile than I would like, but they are all different. The second truth I have learned is that the road to discipline is fraught with distractions and detours - and apparently I am something of a tourist. But, the journey isn't about what distracted you along the way, it's about getting back on the right road and getting to your destination. I wish I had learned that lesson the last time I seriously dieted. Four years, quite the detour.

Nothing unusual about yesterday. I was a good boy food wise, I stayed up too late and went to bed without writing my post. That would have made a pretty boring post, no?

Today was different. We had some snow this morning, so we decided to go in a little late, let the suckers get off the highway. Steph made me some eggs for breakfast - very nice of her.

I got to work and ate a Slim Fast bar. About an hour later, I started having lower GI issues, I won't give too many details, but I was in the Gents every hour after that. I tried eating a pear, but that was about all the food I got.

As if my job hasn't been bad enough this week - I had to do it out of the john!

By the time dinner rolled around, I had taken enough TUMS to calm my pipes. I was starving and wanted comfort food. Lipton Chicken Flavored Noodles with left over turkey. It was really good and just what my over exerted system wanted.

The huge piece of chocolate cake that followed was for my soul. It was damned good, too.

If it tells you anything, I washed it down with a Diet 7UP. Apparently this old dog does learn new tricks.
