Let me tell you.

Vegetables? They're fucking boring.

Yeah. I went there. This new diet thing is workin' out great, though I haven't been workin' out much, which needs to change . . . anywho.

I still have ten days to go of this "Oh hey. You wanna eat? Here. Have a piece of lettuce," stuff.

I've been good too. I've resisted s'mores. I've resisted the offer to have someone go buy me a cheesecake. I've even stared longingly at a bag of zap-it rice, and I still managed to walk away from it. I'm in it to win it, dood.

Last night was bad though. I was literally looking for every possible concoction on the interwebs that would allow me to have a healthy, low calorie, low fat, chocolaty, fluffy dessert. That didn't work out so well. Only made me want those complex carbs even more.

Finally, when making my lunch for the next day, I just stood in the kitchen pondering. I'm allowed to have fruit. Twice a day, and before 2:00pm, preferably. Then I went into the pantry, pulled out the cocoa powder and read the back. 10 calories for 1 tablespoon. 2 grams of fiber. 3 grams of carbs. A lot of protein too. So . . . the chocolate isn't what's bad for you . . . it's the other shit they add into it that gets you up there in trouble.

That's when the idea struck. Why not make chocolate covered fruit? I took a peach, my roomie took strawberries, we cut them into bite-sized chunks, I put a whole tablespoon of the cocoa powder on and a tablespoon of Splenda. I don't know how much she used for what, but holy shizznit. Her strawberries? Friggin' delicious. I have yet to have my peaches today, but I'll get back to you on that one. :)

Now that I've figured out how to work chocolate into my diet . . . I just need to figure out how to make veggies more yummy. Grilling is delicious, but it gets a little boring. I bought a new steamer that works like a DREAM, but they're still just . . . cooked veggies. Sans flavor.

I have ten more days. Ten more lunches. Ten more dinners. 20 meals total. I've got this.

Oh. And Lean Cuisine? Yeah. They need to make more sans-potato/stuffing/pasta/rice dishes. I found two. Turkey with green beans, and steak tips with broccoli. Two. Come on. If I can make seven days worth of meals so far, you can make more than two.

Silly Lean Cuisine.

Anywho. That's my update. Chocolate covered fruit, and death to all veggies. Hahaha.
