Day 2 of this new diet of hell. Why did I agree to this?
On Wednesday, a coworker comes up to me and says "I want to go on this diet, you should join me. Whoever sticks it out the longest wins." There is no prize by the way, just the knowledge of winning.
We've eliminated all processed sugars and white foods. WTF. Why did I think this was a good idea? Why can't I ever say no to a challenge?
I'm glad I got into a few herbal teas because with juice, lattes, and gingerale off the menu, my beverage choices are pathetically small. Meals are really easy because I love salad and fish and have never really liked bread. Potatoes are a sad loss but that's okay. Plus, it gave me an excuse to whip up a batch of butternut squash soup. I've got some Goulash simmering away as we speak.
But seriously, snacks? Snacks are the worst. I love sweet things. I should have said this earlier. I've got the biggest sweet tooth ever. I can't even eat most crackers at this point. The only saving grace has been clementines and pumpkin seeds.
The only upside is that I've lost one pound in the past two days alone. So yeah, this will probably help me shed those 15 pounds that have been plaguing me all year. Once I knock those down, I just have that last 30 pounds. The first three days are supposed to be the worst and I hope it gets better because if I have to go through another month of this, I'm going to lose this contest so fast.
At least it's snowing, in that pretty way, not the gross awful way of yesterday. Time to curl up, drink my camomile tea and crunch on some soy beans.
