The Things That We Eat

Today is a Wednesday, and day two of my new endeavor called "No Carb Diet. I know what you are thinking, "Diets never work! They are all promotions and flim-flam. Might have worked for your sisters' uncles' cousin, but hah! Bilge, it's all a waste of time." Well, here is where the rubber meets the road. ... o.O... Anyways, here is where I am putting it to a test.

I can eat all the meats that I want (beef, chicken, fish, beef, pork, beef, bacon...:) ), cheese, butter, veggies, and fruits to some extent, but none of the cheap, quick, delicious foods of a poor college student like pastas, breads, chips, sweets, pastries, and tacos. I must even set my beloved popcorn aside for the greater good. Living in the dorms, eating cafeteria food as well as visiting my friends at the nearest fast-food joints has not been kind to my figure.

Now, I am not saying I am fat (mainly cause I have many kind friends who would lecture or punch me if I said such horrid things), but I am a bit overweight for what the educated call "BMI", or body mass index (if I remembered correctly). My doctor mentioned it too :/
I visited a friend this last Monday, and he has lost, I believe, 15 pounds on this diet so far. He told me and two other friends who were having dinner at his house and the three of us decided to give his diet a shot. Though I have questioned my will power, I decided to stick it out for a month and see what happens. This does not mean I stop exercising, it just means I should start exercising more ;)

On the negative side, no more honey bbq boneless wings every week, or the occasional mocha and bagel at the book store. On the positive side, I get to have bourbon steak every week, snack on cheeses, and all the bunless bacon burgers I can afford. I have also done research and found that I can have half a serving of my chocolate caramel commotion ice cream without ruining my day!
I will update my progress in a week and a half (unless I crack before then).

Random Act of the Day: Took some time to get some pleasure reading done.
Current Contemplation: Why's the pepperoni gone?!

Till another day!
