Mocha Chocolata Ya Ya

So I am still trying to be on a diet and I actually think me clothes are a bit looser (I just typed that with a cockney accent mate)

My thought is that the SB Diet just wears you down so you just give up on eating all together. Do I want another boiled egg or string cheese? Hell no. I will just starve.

There is one little glimmer of happiness though. I have created a masterpiece that I love, love, love.

So what I do is I heat a small amount of water and then take two teaspoons of this:

(mine does not have hieroglyphics on the jar; btw)

then, I add two tablespoons of this

then I fill the rest of the cup with ice cubes.

then I take a large glass and fill it with ice and add my cold coffee mixture over it and then top it off with this.

and then, I dollop on this

BTW do you ever "dollop" anything but cream?

IT IS DELICIOUS!!

I was going to take a picture this morning, but I forgot until this is what I had

Oh, and two weeks ago I tried to take some "before" pictures with my cell phone.

This was the result.

this is cracking me up here, because my arms look fat and my middle parts look ok, which is the opposite in real life.

ok, this is a more accurate portrayal of me two weeks ago.

That is all.

South (son of a) Beach Diet

Okay so I am sitting in a bar association committee meeting right now (on conference call) and thought maybe I could blog. I have been pretty much over blogging but I like keeping a journal of what is going on. Besides-- we are discussing Alec Baldwin and domestic violence in our meeting(fo real).

So a few years ago I was reading the People Magazine New Year's edition-- you know the "I LOST HALF MY SIZE" issue that they put out when they have ran out cover stories about the Angelina Jolie/Jennifer Aniston/Brad Pitt love triangle.

Anyway, I read about the South Beach diet and decided to try it out. I lost 15 pounds and went from a size 8 to size 4 in about 6 weeks  (and, yes, I do get most of my health and beauty advice from People magazine). Fast forward a few years-- and I have a pretty super sized muffin on top of my "skinny" size 8 jeans. damn-it.

I went to Mexico in April and spent the whole month prior to my trip running on the damn treadmill (getting up to 4 miles a day) and I think I may have lost only like 4 pounds. Frustrating! I hate my 42 year old worn out metabolism.

Since I don't have 14 hours a day to work out like this ho,

(That is what she claims.)

I thought I would try that damn south beach diet again this week. So that is what I did on Monday.

If I can remember right, the 3rd day is the hardest-- then your cravings for refined carbs are supposed to diminish after that point. It had damn well better.  I just ate about 914 pounds of vegetables dipped in hummus and what I really want to do right this second is eat a can or two of Pringles and run someone over with a truck or smoke a cigarette and kick a baby. One or the other. Crap.


Wish me luck Chuck.


My anniversary is coming up at the end of August and I want to be somewhere in a bathing suit.
