i've decided that there's really no good reason for me to be as pudgy as i currently am. sure, i'm still married and that'll fatten most guys, but i'm not most guys. i'm not training for powerlifting like the last time i got all chunky. i'm not cramming in the calories for a century. i have no excuse.
so i'm off on a diet, with a goal: to reach 195lbs on the scale. my lunches are now reduced to minimal proportions, and to stave off hunger and achieve my secondary goal of orange skin by may, i'll be eating lots and lots and lots of carrots.
my initial goal was 200 lbs but i figure i should aim for under 200. so there we go. 195 with orange skin, hopefully by month's end.
Orange skin, does not compute. 'splainplz.
Speaking of carrots, TJ's now sells big giant bags of tasty Nantes carrots. At this rate, I'll be orange by May too!
it is said that if one eats enough carrots, one will turn orange.
carrots being my "filler food" for this diet, i figured i'd try to eat enough to have the added bonus of skin that matches my clothing.
however.
it seems that large amounts of carrots do not agree with my nether regions. i may have to ditch that goal or switch to carrot juice or skin paint.
