I need a theme for next week. With this weather, it’s time to think Caribbean, Belize.

Mutant Diet Phase 2 Day 5

OMG it’s fun to have weird weeks. This work week ends with schedule weirdness continuing. I was in meetings on-and-off from 8 AM to 10 PM covering topics from elementary school volunteer fundraising to financial industry website redesign (all day) to high school teacher meetings to a strata council meeting.

The food process went fairly well. There’s a restaurant called Tractor which is a fancy healthy food place that is set up like a cafeteria. It did have the feature of being able to avoid carbs. Of course by 3:30 PM the chili and salad had worn off and I was glad to have my stash of meat at the office.

Today is my first personal trainer session for this phase. I’m going to weigh in but I don’t think I’ll look at the numbers. I feel the changes from the diet change but don’t think it’s yet counteracted Christmas indulgences. Also, with this week being so freaky, it won’t tell me much without the context of the next weigh-in, which will be about two weeks from now.

When I was dining with co-workers at Tractor, one of my teammates was describing how to make almond milk at home. I couldn’t help it, I asked “So, if you use chocolate almonds do you get chocolate almond milk.” There’s a Certain Look (or scowl) that people give you when you make a joke like that.
