Well today didn't go as well. It was my all-fruit day. I did eat fruit but I also was craving soy chicken and soy milk, so I ate some. Then I cleaned out my car and saw a Taco Bell bag. It was downhill from there. I ended up having a cheese quesadilla and cheesy fiesta potatoes. I really enjoyed it. I know I cheated, but I tried to ride it out and couldn't. Tomorrow is a new day. I'm not going to let that get me down.
On an upside I went to see Rent at Nearly Naked Theatre. Amazing. And I got to see Sam again; it's been way too long. But driving in the city made me realize how much I need to move. Phoenix freaks me out. I need to live in the country.
Well tomorrow (or rather, today) is a new day.

It's been a while
So I've started a new diet. What else is new? But I really need this one to work. It's going to work.
It's actually decent so far (1st day!). It requires no thinking really, gets me cooking somewhat, and is healthy.
So I'm going to blog about it! Yipee!!!
(oh and I love Glee!)
So it's comprised of 4 meals a day. It's do-able.
1st meal:
- Grapes
- Almonds
- Soy chicken
So I had about a cup of soy chicken. The nice thing is that I don't have to measure stuff. I just eat until I'm full. Well not full full, but satisfied. I think about the 80% rule. Eat until you're 80% full. I eat until I know I can have a few more bites but I don't need to.
I also had a bunch of almonds, yummy! And maybe half a cup of grapes. They weren't very good, they're almost a week old so it was slim pickings, so to speak. I found some decent ones, but I definitely need to get better grapes next time. Maybe freeze some green grapes too.
2nd meal:
- Cashews
- Soy milk
- Garden salad
I didn't end up eating the garden salad. I regret that now at 8:50 pm. I'll keep that in mind tomorrow (well actually the next day - tomorrow's an all fruit day). I just didn't feel like making it. I don't know. So I ate cashews and soy milk. Actually not as bad as it sounds. It was a nice snack of sorts.
3rd meal:
- Soy beef
- Hard boiled egg
I made my first hard boiled eggs! I made two, quite successfully I might say. The internet is a wonderful resource. I'll definitely have to add that to my usual list of foods. I love hard boiled eggs. And they were from free range chickens (Stephanie's). Then I had 2 portabella Gardenburgers. Very yummy and very filling. Sampson tried to eat it, but he failed.
4th meal:
- Scrambled eggs
- Mixed veggies
- Soy cheese
This was my absolute favorite meal! I scrambled eggs with sliced zucchini, mushrooms, and broccoli. Then after that cooked I sprinkled some soy cheddar cheese on the eggs. It was amazing.
It will be interesting to see how this works when I'm working. I was home sick these past two days. Colds suck. I'll have to cook before I go to sleep if I need to and pack it up for work. Timing will be interesting. I just have to make sure that I eat 2 1/2 hours between each meal, at a minimum.
