I've decided to do a little detox diet. This means
No caffiene
No alcohol
No refined sugars
No wheat
No meat
No junk food (obviously)

It's day three. Originally I had planned to go for ten days. But then i remembered that i'm going home for the weekend. And I think it will be exhausting to have to continually explain this diet to my parents. So I may just go for five days instead. Which maybe isn't long enough to really do anything, but it's certainly long enough for me to appreciate proper food again.

Some people feel really terrible when they drastically change the way they eat. I didn't. I was tired, but that lasted only a day and then i was fine. So maybe i'm not as toxic as i anticipated.

I also thought i'd have super huge cravings for chips and booze. But I don't. The only thing i really want is meat. I would love a big piece of roasted chicken.

I'm not really sure if this stuff really does anything. But i figure it can't hurt to shake up your diet and eat really healthy for a bit. Disgustingly healthy in fact. All i'm eating is

steamed vegetables by the bucketful
brown rice
lentils
fruits
vegetable broth
and water. lots and lots of water.

I can't believe people do this for a month at a time. I can barely get through the week!

 

I'm so tired. This time change has done me in. It's only 8:30 and i want to go to sleep. And i've got work to do and i don't want to do it. I want to do anything but the work i'm supposed to do for a 10:00am meeting tomorrow. It was supposed to be at 4:00pm but they moved it up to 10:00am. Bastards.

So to procrastinate I've been checking out some speed dating sites. Yes i'm thinking about speed dating. I did it once a few years ago. And i found the evening well, uninspired. But lately i've been thinking that bad experiences make good stories, so in a way, i really can't lose.

I went on a date last week. It was truly a terrible date. He talked about his job. He showed me his online dating profile - both of them in fact, and asked me how he could improve them. At the end of the date, he said that if we went out again that i could talk about my job. How very generous of him.

And it was a real shame - he was hot, fit and smart. Plus i haven't had sex in close to a year. If he could have just shut up a little, i probably would have slept with him. I had even bought lube - just in case!

Althought the date was a disaster, it did spark my interest in dating again. Which i think is pretty healthy for me. I figure i've got nothing to lose. I'll either meet someone who's kinda cool. Or I'll have a terrible date but a terrific story.
