Well, it kind of feels like I’m starting all over again….because, basically, I am. That’s not a bad thing, necessarily. I’m still kind of trying to get back into my routine. The hardest part, I think, is trying to make myself get up in the morning and get on the bike. Once I’m up and doing it, it’s fine…it’s just getting there that’s tough.
The other thing that’s tough is avoiding the massive snack cabinet at work. You see, about once per month, the office I work in replenishes the snacks that they offer us. That doesn’t sound like a big deal, but there’s literally a U-Haul van full of snacks and drinks that fill the cabinets and fridge in the kitchen, everything from chips to nuts to fruit snacks and beef jerky. You name it, it’s probably in there.
It’s tough to avoid, but I’ve managed to do a decent job so far. I snack a little, but strategically. I try to have one snack between breakfast and lunch and one in the afternoon, just to keep my metabolism going….I hope. At least that’s what I’m telling myself. We’ll see how it plays out this weekend.
For dinner, though, the wife (how crazy is that?) and I had some amazing chicken sandwiches with tater tots. I was going for sweet potato fries, but they didn’t have any, so I had to rock the tots. Everything in moderation.
I’d say so far, so good for this attempt to get this whole ‘health’ thing back on track, but like I said, we’ll see how it goes this weekend.
In the meantime, check out the latest digital short from SNL…pretty funny:

Yes you can do it! Don’t let the boot get you, or that stupid snack cabinet. Every time you want a snack, take a look at the fatasses you are surrounded by, the ones that take TWO doughnuts at a time and then consider going back for more. If that isn’t an appetite deterrent, I don’t know what it.

I’m not sure how anyone can be near Chris and Richard all day and have an appetite. Just think every time you want a snack… “Richard and Chris might have put their hands in this food.”
