Update Part One: foodie
evil has breeched the sanctity of my home. i have purchased... a scale. i've never owned one. i've never brought one into my house. there always seemed to be ample places to find out how much you way. as if you'd want to know. i think we had one when i had roommates, but i can't remember. i know my mom had one growing up. but i myself have never owned one. but i'm starting a high protein/ low carb diet tomorrow. and weighing yourself, even after you hit goal, is supposed to be part of your daily routine. neat. i'm not doing atkins. i'm doing curves. which is supposed to be similar to the south beach diet. like i care. this is the book i have, i've had it for months, and it's the one that made the most sense to me. so... whatever.
i, in fact, bought two scales... i bought a food scale as well. oooooh. everything about going on this diet goes against my beliefs. well, except for the idea that everyone should eat lots of meat and cheese. that i totally agree with. but i had to PLAN OUT what i was going to eat for the week. i made until weds, which is pretty good for me. and then i had to MAKE A GROCERY LIST. a real one. the kind you stick to. what's up with that? i spent so much freakin' money. i've never spent that much money on nonpreapackaged foods or household items before. i bought meat from a butcher!! which is to say, larry's still has that old fashioned notion of people behind a counter who know what they are talking about, helping you. it's kind of scary to a girl like me. they have people that specialize in cheese! anyway, i had to tell a guy what i wanted, while he cut it up for me. whoa. i had a basket full of meat. i have two pork chops, three steaks, four chicken breasts [skinless], maple cut bacon, honey smoked ham and hebrew national hotdogs. i think that's it. while i only planned out through weds, i have plenty of meat for days. and days. and days. you know what? it looks GOOOOOOD.
tonight, however, i am having cheese ravioli with butter and lemon pepper. because i'm not going to see pasta for a while.
update to be continued later tonight. ...with Part 2: nanowrimo
