Yes, I AM hungry. Thanks for asking.

So in addition to being one day away from finishing Week Three of my Couch to 5K program, which is a nine week program, I also started a “carb clense” program today. Which is an eight week program. In case you were wondering.

See, I have been fairly consistently treadmilling three to five times a week for a little over a month now and, as well, I have seriously reduced my calorie and fat intake in that month, but have yet to see any REAL movement in the downward direction on the scales. I mean, I haven’t been expecting miracles, but even four or five pounds would have been encouraging. Right?

Right.

This lack of Encouraging Pound Reduction, or E.P.R., led me to do a little dietary research, the results of which led me to theorize that I am afflicted with the “Metabolism B” (as described by Diane Kress, R.D., C.D.E. and author of the book The Metabolism Miracle), requiring some rest for my poor, overworked pancreas.

Which is to say, for the next eight weeks I will be surviving on MEAT, EGGS, and PROTEIN SHAKES. Oh, and a wee little bit o’ carbs of the 5 gram or less variety every five hours while I am awake.

Hold me now.

Anyway, more on this developing story later. Right now I need to: 1. go yell at Rob or a miscellaneous child for no good reason, 2. eat a twelve ounce ribeye washed down with a two-liter of Diet Pepsi, and 3. set my iPhone to wake me up every five hours tonight.

Hahaha. I kid.

(About two of those things.)

As you were.
