special k diet

i think it was just this friday, i was talking to my sister on the phone, bemoaning the .5lb i gained during a week of rational eating.  i told her i was just too lazy to freak out about it.  she understood but said, "why don't you try the special k diet.?"

i looked it up, supposedly you can drop a dress size in two weeks.  and it's so freakin' easy.  all you do is replace two meals with either special k cereal, a protein bar or protein shake.

i don't even remember what i'd eaten for breakfast that friday but instead of waiting for the next day, i started the special k diet, or "k" as it shall now be referred to going forward, that day.

today is day three and it's going surprisingly well.  this morning i had a milk chocolate protein shake for breakfast. this went in the blender with half a banana and some ice just to give it some weight.  an hour or so later i had a big cup of coffee.  lunch was tofu scramble, fruit, vegan pancakes and some sort of vegan cracker thing.  dinner was a bowl of cereal.

in addition to the saint-like eating, i've been riding my bike and on friday i went to the gym and spent 30 minutes almost dying on an elliptical machine.  i owe my body so much cardio.  the flab is just ludicrous.

reading you say the special k diet is so easy made me do a double think! it is easy to say it, but i think it would be challenging to stick with it longer than 2 consecutive days. unless, of course, you're tess. :) way to go day 3!

also, why do i have an unrational fear of cooking with tofu?!

von, maybe you're scared that there isn't anything you could do to rescue the tofu from it's flavor vacuum life. maybe you're worried that even your best efforts and all the sauces, herbs and spices in your pantry won't resuscitate it into something enjoyable, nay, edible?

the tofu scramble i referred to in this post was created by experts in a restaurant. i have no plans of attempting a tofu scramble.
