The Hunger Within

While you may have assumed by the title that in my blogging absence I have suddenly become more existential, thought provoking, or wise - well you were wrong.

The hunger within mentioned above is just that - pure, savage hunger.

I decided yesterday, against my better judgement to join weight watchers. Why you may ask, considering I just ran a 200 mile relay from Miami to Key West. Well it's because I think back to my freshman year of college & fondly recall my prior attempt with the diet program. When I used to eat lettuce w/ salt & pepper in order to save all of my points for beer. It was such a pleasant experience why not try again?

So here I am 30 hrs in & determined to eat everything that crosses my path. The mere idea of limiting food intake has sent my body into a panic which is mainly represented as a insatiable hunger. The more I eat, the hungrier I am - the more I say you can't have it, the more I physically need it. And there goes 20 of my extra points for the week....

I've already figured a few things out... My delish penne rosa from Noodles & Co blows compared to a vegetable chili. And even the chili is put to shame when I found a Chicken w/scallion sauce recipe that is only 3 points. 3 READ EM 3 POINTS! When I go home I can 5 servings of chicken if I'd like & hopefully all the vegetables in the world.

I suppose you should credit my return to my grand friends L & S who are apparently boycotting exchanging emails with me at work until I post a new entry. Well Miss L told me some fab ideas together regarding our WW venture. I hate sandwiches, turkey & tomatoes but I'll be damned if I am not pumped to make myself a 3 point sandwich... I could have 9 sandwiches a day & if I'm still not full then I'm the new Monica Gellar (think flashback to the Thanksgiving episode where Chandler calls Monica fat & in turn she decides after 14 yrs she is full).

So anywho here I am determined to be more "aerodynamic" for Ragnar NY than I was for Ragnar KW... Let's see how it goes...

PS. did you know a hotdog from Five Guys is 15 points!?!?! A FREAKING HOT DOG IS 15 POINTS!!! I can't even have 2 hotdogs in a day, what a shame! I blame our creator (whomever you choose them to be) for allowing humans to gain weight & making delicious food terrible for you... so take that God, Allah, Muhammad, Lady Gaga whoever it was... I'm pissed
