Today’s meals so far are:

breakfast

6 egg whites

1.5 cups hot rolled oats

0.5 cups grapefruit juice

Mid-Morning Snack

1 cup fat-free cottage cheese

.5 cups pineapple chunks (canned in pineapple juice, drained)

Lunch

8 oz chicken breast

1 cup brown rice

1 cup boiled zucchini and squash

Mid-Afternoon snack

3 tbsp Smucker’s All Natural Peanut Butter

 The pics are here as well as in my EF gallery:

I am really stoked. I just signed up for this writing workshop, and it just so happens this husky-voiced female is the instructor. When i talked to her on the phone, however, she seemed slightly disinterested in my choice of subject matter. It is ok, I assume she is tired of her current job writing dime novels for Harlequin. In fact, she probably is working behind a desk at some nerd office building, without a clue what her duties are.

Maybe we actually will hit it off and score. Hopefully she is fertile.

May the farce be with you.

I guess I could get out in the back yard and brush hog the tall bahia that has grown out back to waist high near an abandoned shed that i should also tear down.  But it is near 75°F and sunny already, and I hear the white sands and fiddler crabs serenading me.  Decisions, decisions…

I was just beginning to see hints of a separation in my abs I haven’t viewed since I was in my mid-20’s but personal gratification suited me better today than my goals. C’est la vie.
