Cutting More Stuff Out

After a week of dieting again, I am right on schedule for my weight loss. I started last week at 172.5 and I am at 170.5 now. But when you’re dealing with a half pound here and a half pound there, you can easily get off track with just one screw-up. That’s why I am going to institute a new system of punishments for myself should I get off track for even one day. Basically, for each day that I am above my target weight, I am going to cut one of the following out of my diet for the remainder of the diet:
– dairy
– meat from land animals (of course the only ones I am eating anyway are chicken and turkey)
– egg-based products (like mayonnaise, which has been in several tuna sandwiches that I’ve had)
– meat from sea creatures

That will give me extra incentive to be good. If I am essentially a vegan by the end of the diet, it’ll be weird!

So the idea here is, I’d better stay ahead of my goal because if I don’t there is a good chance that I’ll be behind one day. And just like that – no more chicken and turkey! That really would limit my Subway options.

• you are going to get sick when you come back to maryland and try to eat meat again…

• Whatever meats you do eat in Maryland, I was thinking of eating Chinese with you at least once (we would have a great selection of healthy foods there).

  Where do jelly beans fall on that list of yours?
