Moo.

So, I'm trying the "grazing" concept of eating. It involves eating several small meals a day, rather than three big ones. Here's how I do it:

Breakfast: I usually have an egg mcmuffin (bad, I know; I need to find something healthier to eat in the morning that a) wakes up my metabolism, and b) makes me as happy), an apple and a banana.

Mid-morning snack: I usually have a banana or an apple. If I'm feeling protein poor; I might have a stick of turkey jerky.

Lunch: My lovely day-job employer caters lunch everyday (they don't want us to leave our desks...hee), so there's a wide variety of choices, good and bad. I usually go for a small-ish serving of some form of meat/protein, and large salad (mixed greens, cucumbers, carrots, a little dab of lite ranch dressing, maybe three croutons); and I nibble on that over two or three hours.

Mid-afternoon snack: I keep a bowl from the lunch line full of watermelon, baby carrots, and cucumbers. If I'm feeling protein poor; I might have a stick of turkey jerky.

Late afternoon/end of work snack: I usually have a banana or an apple.

Before dinner snack: Baby carrots, or some such snack.

Dinner: Depends on what the GF is hungry for. She likes the Mexican food; but I've found some semi-healthy choices there. Emphasis on "semi". If she's fending for herself, I make something simple, usually some kind of chicken, and some kind of starch.

After dinner: I try not to eat up to two hours before I go to sleep. I usually just drink water if I feel hungry.

I'm trying to cut down completely on processed sugar, and cut my starches and bad carbs down considerably. Thus far (about a week in) I definitely feel more energy; and I'm not getting that sluggish, sleepy feeling I used to get in the afternoon after a big starchy lunch.

The main thing I'm worried about is this: my main veggies/fruits are lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, bananas, apples, and potatoes. They all are relatively high in bad things, when compared with other veggies/fruits. The sucky thing; based on my food allergies and my picky tastes, they are all I can have.

That's all for now. I'll keep you posted.

I don't think I'm alone.

I don't find Eva Longoria attractive. Not even a little bit. I watched an episode of her show (which the GF loves), and was not impressed with her acting chops or her looks. For that matter, I wasn't impressed at all with the show itself; even my beloved Felicity Huffman sucks on it, and making her suck is hard work. Yet, everywhere I look, I see articles and pictures and media sharts telling me how attractive and sexy Miss Longoria is supposed to be. I realize that this isn't a new phenomenon; I'm just venting. Nope. I don't think she's attractive.

I have a theory...

I think George W. Bush and Karl Rove are lovers. This isn't a joke. There's no punchline. I really, really believe this. I think Dubya is the top, and Karl's the bottom.

That's all. My first post on my new blog, and it's a crackpot theory about the president being gay. Hi!
