A for effort

Day 1 of the new regime was doomed before it began. I went to bed last night with a fever from a brand new head cold. Still, I followed orders and made a healthy (yet somewhat chalky) breakfast smoothie. Lunch was also successful with a hearty salad. An orange for my afternoon snack. I managed all of this while fighting the urge to lay down on my desk and go to sleep.

After work, I heated up my leftovers from last night which I was sure contained nothing by naturopath approved foods... then I got her e-mail with detailed reminders of the new restrictions. The words "absolutely no potatoes" put a crimp in my plan. I had just eaten said potatoes and so felt defeated. Clearly, the only natural response to this was to comfort myself with several handfuls of potato chips.

It was momentary lapse in self control, that I'm sure to repeat again, but for the time being I'm back on the wagon.

Next on the menu... nighttime cold pills...zzzzz

  1. I know that I am a few weeks late to notice you picked up your blog again, but good luck on the new effort. I assume that we will see a new post once RENT is though. :)
