I Need to Keep This Short

Do I know the meaning of brevity? We shall see. It reminds me of a time when I was a little kid....


Just kidding.

However, I need to get off as SOON as Josh gets home, so he doesn't see my blog. So if this ends abruptly, thats why. However, I'll see his car pull into the parking lot so I'll have a good minute before he makes it in.

See, even THAT was long winded.

I got 1/4 of mushrooms today. I am SO FREAKING EXCITED TO TAKE THEM. Last time (first time, only time...) I tripped on mushrooms it was so fantastic and amazing and wonderful that I couldn't wait for the next time. And now I have more! I don't know when my next trip will be, they could very well sit in my freezer until summer, but its all good. Josh and I will probably trip while we're camping or something. Man, that would rock.

I did pretty well today. I ate a lot of cereal for breakfast, but its purpose was to up my fiber intake for the day, so I'm okay with it. 1 1/2 - 2 servings Raisin Bran with 1 serving Fiber One Bran Buds poured over the top. That filled me up for a while. Then later I had a can of veggie soup. Then I had NOTHING (sweet, sweet nothing) all day except water, a diet Coke, and sugarfree gum. Just now I had a Cup-o-Soup with two boullion cubes in 3 cups of water, so 65 cals for that.

Right now I feel empty. My head is kind of swimming with the high you get when you haven't eaten anything in almost 12 hours. I'm on kind of a liquid fast right now, I say kind of because I'm letting foods like cold cereal, oatmeal, and soup slide by, mostly because they're a little more substantive (thats a real word?) than just plain water or juice all the time, and because they are mainly consumed WITH liquids (cereal, soup) or practically liquids (oatmeal, yogurt, cottage cheese). My goal is to keep this up until Monday, when I'll be getting the eggrolls I ordered last week (fresh from a Hmong lady that works at my job - can't resist, they're fantastic! Not at all like the greasy ones you get from a China Buffet, these are fresh and probably not all that calorically horrible!) I'll eat the eggrolls as my reward for a five day liquid-ish fast, then I will fast four more days until NEXT Friday. It's a lofty goal, but if I achieve it, there is a reward in store for me, TBD. I'll probably just buy myself a knitting book I've had my eye on.

Shit....gotta go.
