I thought I'd update everyone on my little diet experiment:
-Week 1 is done, and it went well. I had no cravings for red meat, even though I totally accidentally ate some on Friday night without realizing what I was doing. These things happen when free Mexican food is put before me. Oh well, one unwittingly eaten taco isn't worth beating myself up over.
-Aroon posted some great advice on the old site - one week is too easy, maybe a month would be a better stress test. He's definitely right, so I think once these 5 weeks are up I'll crank the difficulty up a notch. I'm thinking I'll do 3 weeks or so instead of one month just to ensure I don't completely lose it when school gets tough.
-I'm looking forward to no-meat week the most, just to see how it goes. And I'm most scared of 'reduce all portions' week, because I'm Texan like that. I think these two will do me the most good, though.
-I love avocados. They're great on club sandwiches, by the way.
