Hell Week
Last week was supposed to mark the end of the muscle-gain portion of my fitness program and the beginning of the fat-loss portion; instead, it was the week I gained a half-pound of fat and lost a half-pound of muscle. To make up for this setback, I’ve decided that next week will be Hell Week: oatmeal every morning, gym or swimming every day and meal-planning every night. And vegetables, vegetables, vegetables! I even got some Brussels sprouts at the store today so I could try Heidi Swanson’s delicious-looking Golden-Crusted Brussels Sprouts recipe. I am currently a sprout-despiser, but Heidi swears this recipe will turn me into a believer. I’m going to hold you to that promise, Heidi.

I promise that oatmeal done right is the best food in the world. Just add raisins and brown sugar (will that turn it into a bad food). I don’t think brussel sprouts can ever be good, though. Egh.

I think my eating plan could allow for some Splenda, at least. And lots of berries! Mmm. Berries.
