Goodbye 250s!

Goodbye 250s! It’s been fun knowing you.

Today is the start of Day 6 of my journey back to health. I started the South Beach Diet back on Monday and it’s been smooth sailing all week. I haven’t visited any of my old friend these past few days. You know them as Pizza, Beer and Cheetos.

I started the week at 254.0 and as of this morning I was down to 248.6. That’s a whopping 5.4 pound weight loss in just five days. Well, okay, not whopping but it is still pretty good considering I was headed in the opposite direction just a week ago.

I just finished a breakfast of two extra large eggs with mushrooms and onions, some low sodium V8 and a small cup of coffee. I think I’ve had more eggs this week than I have had in my life combined. And I can’t recall if the scientists have determined if eggs are good or bad for us this week so I hope they’re safe.

I’m a Starbucks drinker. I like the French Roast. At times a bag of ground coffee approaches $10 out here. Hell, I can buy dope cheaper and people risk their lives or face jail time for that.

Anyway, I was in Fresh & Easy yesterday and stumbled upon their $5.49 bag of French Roast. The bag is plain and some might even say even downright ugly. But they have a new fan. Not only is it three to four bucks less expensive, it tastes a bit smoother! Plus the buzz is the same so why spend the extra money?

Well, I’m off to Smart & Final to get some flavored water and more V8. I’m sure all the beer will be on sale… probably the lowest price in a decade. That’s what always happens when I start a diet.

Sigh.
