The First Day
DAY 1
Weight: 232 lbs
Thought for the Day: Yay! It's Friday!
Well today was the big day, Friday the 13th the start of my 40 days and 40 nights and 40 whatever comes inbetween.
When I got up this morning I bounced out of bed and headed straight for the fridge.
Pulled out a nice tasty glass of soy milk and then spotted the Hemp Milk experiment. Weighing the good with the bad I decided to take a swig, since i knew I was the only one drinking it in the family carton swigging was an option, but I figured it would just splash all over my face... and although it wouldn't be egg on my face, I soon found it was close enough. I poured it into a glass and it looked like eggbeaters egg whites. Yuck! Wife walked past and nonchalantly mentioned did I read the red label... I made a face at her and responded "Of course I read the red label" ~ sneaked a quick peak at the red label... 'Shake Well Before Use' ~ hmmm could have put it in a blue or green label something that would have caught my attention. Well I shook the dam thing and poured what I can only describe as paint thinner, it didn't taste much better, kinda like sweetened pine tar. (don't ask how I know what that tastes like). I washed it down with a cup of chocolate soy milk. Packed my lunch and headed to work.
At work, I sent out the mass email announcing my running away to a nunnery ~ most people were supportive, some just laughed and my boss being the opportunistic fellow that he is immediate saw a chance to run an office pool. I think the average had me lasting 4 days! sheesh! Had some multigrain cheerio lifesaver looking like things without milk just crunched them as I wandered the halls. Not bad although I am gonna feel them later!
Well I snacked on countless fruit, vegetables and nuts all the time feeling a hollow stomach. I was eying the marsh mellow bunnies in my room I had bought 10 bags for the office and had harvested almost a whole bag for myself on Wednesday. They did look tempting. So I threw them all in a basket and hopped around the office delivering them for everyone to eat. I even forced some people to play Chubby Bunnies ~ the game when you continually stuff marshmellows in your mouth and announce Chubby Bunnies. Most people lasted 7-8 the winner stuffed 15! Which she later spewed into her hand. Gross!
After work went with Rose to Zen Palette a vegetarian place in Union Square that I solidly refused to dine at before this very day. Rose loves the place and my loathing for it was almost as great. Wasn't too bad, started with edamame and wheat steamed vegetable dumplings that were vegan. I felt kinda dumb asking if they were vegan but the waitress humored me.
I had moo-shue vegetables with a healthy dose of mushrooms and vegetarian plum sauce ~ yum! I got to wrap them up in a wheat thing that tasted like... well actually it had no taste, absolutely none. I really felt like I was eating a compost heap. Rose's Tofu looked like little french toast squares and when I ate one I could have sworn it looked like Sponge Bob Square Pants ~ It's evil. It's diabolical. It's lemon-scented. This Plan Z can't possibly fail! I kid, although my taste buds weren't set up for this, the meal wasn't bad and if I don't eat the leftovers I can at least compost them.
Well now it's time to sleep it off and see what the weekend beckons.
