Today is not going so badly. Workin', eating all my good stuff. Temptations are all around me, too. Someone brought in chocolate candies. Reeses Peanut Butter cups. Oranges! But no. I did not have them. Not a one. I am more interested to see how my body reacts to these food changes as much as I am seeking to lose weight.

I tried garlic artichoke hummus today. I was saddened that it's not nearly as tasty on celery as peanut butter is. I'm allowed about a tablespoon serving of peanut butter at a shot, or per diem. Peanut butter is uber tasty. I shall never take peanut butter for granted again.

Yes, I have gone nuts. (Pun not initially intended.)

I wonder if I'll hit some sort of culinary delirium soon? Penning odes to cakes and breads. Potato soliloquoys. Peanut Butter haikus. And let us not forget: Beet poetry.

Yes, I can't have beets either! Did I give a rat's ass before this diet? Hell no!

Cute cate tale:
I woke up this morning smothered by my two little predators. I was asleep on my stomach. One cat was snuggled up right on my side, and another was laying on my back. I had a hard time moving, but it was cute nonetheless.

You and and Tom Robbins can write beet poetry together. :)

Ooooh! I hope a big shiny turkey trailer is involved, too!

You're not missing much. Beets taste like dirt!
Lifestyle changes are difficult. Hang in there.

I've completely eliminated caffiene, and have gone from not smoking in the house or in the car to not smoking anywhere ever. There've been other changes that will likely sound as trivial to you as those do, but I can still relate.

Now excuse me whilst I steal your idea and pen an ode to my cigarettes and coffee...

Yes, I know life changes are difficult. But you will probably see many posts where I whine for the next few weeks. Now, supposedly these cravings will pass. But hell. Would I want them to? ;-)

Time shall tell. :-)

The garlic artichoke hummus actually sounds very nice - it's a pity to hear that it's not a good dip.

Of course, on a diet, anything that you can eat sucks, and the forbidden foods are the ones you want most of all, even if you don't normally like them! :)
