Diet update and photoshopping.
Alrighty, so here's my 1st week diet update. I believe that I already surpassed my previously held "longest diet that I stuck to" record. Which would have been 2 days, and 4 pizza commercials. Damn you Rustic Pizza, damn you!! Regardless, I'm reading the labels on the back of products, on a consistant basis, and sticking to the Atkins plan to a T. Here's what I've learned about the Atkins diet so far. The food you can eat is good food, but the food you can't eat tastes better. I never realized how many calories, carbs and stuff were in the foods I was eating. I mean, yes, I realized that when I ordered my Fettucini Alfredo, that I might as well have been eating a container of Crisco, but it tastes so good!
Meh, that's the past now. My present and future interactions with those dishes will be one of fond memories, and avoidance. I'm sorry pasta, I'm sorry. I started my walks again yesterday. 1.6 miles during lunch, and today I'll do it after work. That's 3.2 miles for the week. That's 2.9 miles further than I walked in all of 2006.
Flag football starts up again tomorrow, and I can't be more excited. Well, I'm sure if I had High School senior cheerleaders wake me up a few mornings a week with a hearty cheer and a group HJ, I'd be more excited than I am about Flag Football. Regardless, it's always fun playing with this group of guys. I've been playing with them for almost as long as I've been using heroin. Ok, ok, I'm not on heroin, but you get it, we've been together for a while. Last season, when I started walking at the end of fall (good timing douche!) I was also playing flag football. But the difference when I played this time, was that I ran all over the place. It was one of the first times ever (even at this size) I felt like I could play a full game, at about 3/4 speed. Hopefully this season will progress with the end of my "Jerome Bettis' last years" syndrome. Which is when he only came in on short down situations...because he's slow, and so am I...for now!
But, all in all, the diet's going very well. I'm only drinking water, and eating the proper amounts of food regulated by the Atkins diet. Granted, I'm getting cranky at times, but that's only because I'm still quitting smoking, I'm on this diet, and I'm trying to help plan my wedding. It's a lil crazy, but for some reason, I thrive off of hectic times. 2008 so far, has been the most transitional year in my life. I guess it's a good thing.
Anywho, now that that's over. Here's my latest lil photoshop project I felt like working on. Hopefully copyright isn't an issue because I'm not making JACK SH*T off of this picture. Haha. Enjoy, I call it "The Quite Storm" or "You're All Effed"
