I buy a Kindle

So, I buy a Kindle because even though I download & read books to my laptop I think a Kindle is going to be better...And for Amazon, it is.  I buy it for $139 and have it expressed shipped to the tune of $10 more dollars.  It arrives quickly as if by magic...but hooking it up to my Wi-Fi is not smooth.  I try just about everything and end up buying a new wireless router at Target for $100.

So, for $249 I have a new Kindle.

Great South Beach Diet Recipe Site

So, as i said I'm on the South Beach Diet (SBD), day 4 and I've lost 3 pounds which is amazing because I've eaten way more than I was eating prior.  Of course, I ate garbage...delicious sugar-frosted, fat-laden, creamy garbage...but processed & horrible for me none the less.  So here I am, forgoing sugar, white flour, bread, pasta and rice for 8 more days in the so-called induction period.  It's really not that bad.  I found a great site that I love with amazing recipes and pictures so I don't screw it up halfway through.  I don't know what it is about recipes but half the time I find myself skipping some vital piece of information only to have a complete inedible fail on my hands...but these are simple and for someone who isn't a natural cook, pretty easy & fun.

I go on a diet

Somewhere along the line I gained 25lbs.  In most cases I ate my feelings.  They were delicious.  As a result I am now on the South Beach Diet as I am convinced sugar runs my life.  It's day 4 and its not as bad as all that.   I've heard people say, "Inside me there is just this thin person dying to get out."  I have no such thin person.  If anything I have another fat person in here and we're BOTH starving. If there is ever a "Birthday Party Diet" where you lose copious amounts of weight consuming nothing but cake, cookies and ice cream, I'd be your waif.
