The Diet

Yep, Molly and I are on a diet. We started yesterday, so this is our second day. I feel like I'm constantly eating on this diet, so I think that it may actually work. Of people that I have seen lose a lot of weight lately, a common theme is "I feel like I'm constantly eating".

Tomorrow is my birthday. Yep, I'll be 30. I don't think I'm going to freak out about it... so far, no problems. Sunday night Molly and I went to McCormick and Schmick's for dinner. Molly's sucked, but mine was very good... then the diet the next day. One of the hard parts is just having to really think about what you are eating. I don't realize how much I just eat little things during the day... or how I add extra things to my mean when I eat. The diet makes me think about those things, and I keep my caloric intake under 1500 per day. Its mostly lean protien that I am eating, but there are a few carbs here and there. I'll tell you... I don't feel very hungry, and I don't really miss anything (except beer) at this point. I don't see that changing either. This weekend is going to be tough. Octoberfest celebration up at Mt. Angel (south of here by about 30 minutes). I'll break the diet a little bit, but I won't gorge myself like gluttony day or Octoberfest in IA or downtown KC....then back on the diet.

BTW, Happy Birthday Heather D. (my birthday buddy... hers is today) I miss you a lot. I wish that I could open some wine in celebration...
