Thought for the Day: Mmm Donuts!

So if it wasn't bad enough that my brother in law insisted that we stop off to get Dunkin Donuts and coffee last Saturday, I still hate him for such a vile and evil act, our art intern (the evil spirited girl) in the office arrives at work today all bubbly and full of life with two dozen Dunkin ( Read more... )

Thought for the Day: What doesn't kill ya makes ya stronger

A friend of mine at work is taking 2 months off to write an Idiot's Guide to String Theory. I will not get into an explanation of String Theory, I think I'll leave that to Newton, Einstein and all the other people serious about it. But it did inspire me in a way to ( Read more... )

Thought for the Day: Run! Forrest! Run!

Not much to report today although I am starting to fell the effects of working out more often and shedding some pounds.

Weight: 219
Thought for the Day: Sebastian Hates Me

I get asked quite alot how my diet it going. In truth, I think the food part is easy as long as I don't pigeon hole myself at a meat-only restaurant that sells cupcakes for dessert. I am not craving the foods I thought I would and not have so much tea and coffee has actually balanced my mind ( Read more... )

Day: 14
Weight: 219
Thought: Grinding is good for ya

So after 14 days of eating Vegan I have slipped into some routines. I walk to work, taking a route through Bryant park, past the public library and up 5th ave. It's nice to be outside and much better than sitting on the cramped subway next to a sleeping homeless guy who smells of dried urine and wet ( Read more... )

Day 13
Weight: 219
Thought for the day: Are salads microwavable

Well I have started a new dieting program today called the Microwave Diet. That's the one where you leave your lunch in the microwave to heat up then run to a meeting and forget that you left your lunch in the microwave. Then you wonder why you are hungry at 4 pm and don't realize that ( Read more... )
