YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR

MORE THAN ONE COMMENTED ON MY SVELTNESS THIS MORNING.  I'm trying another kooky diet, slight inspired by MikeyG and a Tim Ferriss podcast:  only fruit till Noon every day... I add a few handfuls of nuts if I'm not satiated. 

That's in addition to my other whacky breakthrough for lunch:  El Pollo Loco Leg Lovers - 3 legs, salad and broccoli... this takes a while to eat, and leaves me feeling full for about 30 minutes.  Weird.  So I supplement that largely with carrots and celery with peanut butter.

Then there's dinner:  lots of vegetables.

Oh, and sardines are in there 3-5 days a week for added protein.

You might think the same as my brother when I told him of my latest adventures in food:  

Bro, sounds like you're just hungry all the time... 

... and that's partly true, but I've found it easy to do now that I'm about a month into it.

You do get what you pay for... I pay for a lot of fruits and vegetables at Costco.  As empty nesters this was previous folly, but now I can mow through most of the food before it goes bad.  (I know #firstworldproblems).

There's another pay off too... I'm down about 4lbs, about .5lbs a week.  I just might make the college weight, which I was last down to in 2002.
But, the real pay off came today:  I felt wonderful on the bike.
The pain of skipping a few crappy calories,
Is nothing compared to the joy of a scrappy day with the crew.
