Well there were some highs and lows yesterday. First I still dealing a major sinus infection which made me feel like spending the day in bed. But since a 2 year old never lets you do that I pushed thru. It was rainy and nasty all day so I got no exercise except for the normal household activities which can be pretty taxing since we live in a 4 story house. Carrying a 22 pound kid up and down flights of stairs should count for something! I actually considered doing 20 minutes of consective stair climbing!
Then it was Chinese Thursday night. We went out and I was concerned but I did ok after all. I could eat my weight in egg rolls. But I only had a half. My husband ordered them. I didn't want them anywhere near me but there they sat on our table. I had Pho Ga for dinner which is a chicken and rice noodle soup. I thought the spiciness would help my congestion. I have no idea how many calories it has in it. I steered clear of most of the rice noodles. So it was broth, chicken, bean sprouts, and cilantro.
The rest of the day's eating was fine-eggs, salad. I remember now that I burn out on the eggs fast!
I ordered the Master Cleanse, The 14 Day Diet, and The New York Diet from Amazon yesterday. I bought them all used including the 14 day diet for .29 cents. I'm pretty skeptical of the New York Diet except that Heidi Klum used it to get ready for the Vic. Sec. runway show. But the diet bans all carbs including fruit which I think is ridiculous. The Master Cleanse sounds great. I would love to get rid of all the toxins in my body but drinking only a lemonade concoction for 5 days sounds horrible. My daughter and I have been sick off and on for months. Anything that might make me healthier while shedding some pounds (though I'm sure they won't stay off) would be great. I was already imagining my first meal after the fast. It would either include Krispy Kreme donuts or an Indian food buffet!
Later,
lad

Your blog is quickly advancing my eating disorder -- and putting me off the children that make them necessary. I think if I had a two year old, I would go insane. I don't know how you do it. It MUST be biological. I have survived a hellish week at work on a diet of beer & cigarettes! Now its the weekend and Paula is here, so I'm pretty sure I'm gonna finish the week on beer and cigarettes.
I had to respond to this last comment. I also have a daughter, and believe that she can and is an unending source of stress, but it sounds to me as if the author's comments about stressful food consumption are not because of her child. Rather, someone else has been mentioned a few times as a source of stress: perhaps the husband is out of the picture already, but I thought I would give an outsider's perspective on a pretty obvious (at least to me) way to drop a quick 200 pounds or so. I left the jerk I had been married to for 12 years and I have to say it was the easiest diet I ever went on!
