hot baths and a new diet
11/29/02 ~ 10:09 a.m.
i couldn't fall asleep last night cuz i was freezing cold. i'd already been
complaining about it to krista,
but it was only when i tried to go to bed that i realized my heater was not
working. i had on flannel pants, thick socks, a sweater AND sweatshirt, knit
hat, and gloves and i was under 3 blankets. still freezing.
after about a
half hour, i got up and made myself hot apple cider. i then returned to my
blanket haven. another half hour later, i was still ass cold.
i don't ever
have this problem when david is sleeping next to me. he's warm and cuddly.
anyways...
i laid in bed, contemplating what to do. i decided to try a hot
bath. so i took quite possibly the hottest bath i have ever taken in my life. i
was all red when i got out. i immediatly put all my clothes back on, put my hair
up and under the hat, and hopped back into bed. it was only then, at 2:30 am,
that i could go to sleep. argh.
so. i'm doing a new diet thing right now. i
know there are a bunmch of fads out there, and people switch from diet to diet,
trying to find the miracle cure. that's not what i'm doing. obviously, my plan
of "slim fast + diet soda + not eating a big dinner + workout" has been working. i've lost 19
pounds. [can hear the studio audience cheering].
but i also got this thing
from kaiser that is a strict diet for 3 days. then for 4 days or more, you go
back to your regular diet. then you can do it again. it's supposed to make you
lose 10 pounds in those 3 days. (hah!) the lady at my dentist's office who gave
it to me loses 5 every time though, so i figure, let's give it a shot.
it
reminds me of when the mom in the movie requiem for a dream goes on a
diet, cuz i started today off with 1/2 grapefruit. hee. ok, here it is. i'm
typing it exactly as it is on my sheet. feel free to try it yourelf!
