Day 40 +1
Weight: 209 lbs
Thought for the Day: John or Paul?
Got up really early (5 am) to drop Rose off at the airport. Then made my way home, slept, went swimming and went to work. Much like I have done things for the last 40 days, but now I have a chance to choose whether I am going to stay on a vegan diet or diverge. I had the feelings of two worlds and it made me thing of A Day in the Life...
I read the news today oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph.
He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure
If he was from the House of Lords.
I saw a film today oh boy
The English Army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away
But I just had to look...having read the book.
I'd love to turn you on...
Woke up, fell out of bed,
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup,
And looking up I noticed I was late.
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke,
Some body spoke and I went into a dream
I read the news today oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill fhe Albert Hall.
I'd love to turn you on...
I think I will go with Paul for a while... or Bono, funny that the next song to come to my head was A Day Without Me... walking to work i felt like I was in a music video for Ok Go... (they do the treadmill dance video on youtube).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeeR4Vnvs8U Im starting a landslide in my ego.
Look from the outside to the world I left behind.
Im dreaming, youre awake.
If I were sleeping,
Once Id say
A day without me.
What are the feelings Ive been feeling?
What are the feelings to let me out?
Todays a day without me.
I started a landslide in my ego.
Look from the outside to the world I left behind,
To the world I left behind.
Wipe the eyes from the laughter,
To the world I left behind.
Share the tears and the laughter.
Thank you to every one of you who has read the blog, posted and supported me through the 40 days, it's been fun. I will continue to blog my exploits since I haven't had my doctor's visit or blood test and since the fridge is choc full of vegan stuff I guess I will be on the diet a while longer until the supplies run out... only 8 more cartons of soy milk and 6 more boxes of heritage wholegrain cheerios.
I am now 24 pounds lighter than I was 2 months ago and I have lost 4 inches off my waistline. My health is better and I can now take on a flight of stairs without deep breaths.
