GOALS

2012-01-04T22:01:00.002-05:00

Okay I didn't do a December challenge - what a jerk I am! I was planning on writing a spec script, and then on my week off I just got really lazy and laid around watching movies and tv shows and took my dog on walks and had family dinners and didn't write a script.

So I think I need to write goals down so I am held responsible to complete them by all my loyal readers ! (hi mom)

And it seems like everyone is doing the whole New Year's Resolution thing right now, so I may as well hop on board.

So here goes, my two goals (gotta start slow):

1. Write the first draft of a spec script by FEBRUARY 6TH. That gives me a little over 4 weeks. Hopefully I get myself to start it before the last minute.

2. Lose 10 pounds. I feel like I put on a bit of weight. I'd like to lose it! Last night I came home from work, ate an entire package of Trader Joe's ravioli, AND ice cream. AND watched 4 and a half straight hours of television (it was the last four episodes of Homeland, can you blame me?). Anyways, gonna have to cut that stuff out. I guess I'll give myself the same cut off date for this goal as well: FEBRUARY 6TH.

LET THE GOALS BEGIN!

Challenge #11 - Paleo Diet

2011-11-14T11:16:00.003-05:00

It's November already, yikes! That means I've got 2 more challenges left this year, so I guess it's time to give one of the diets I've been meaning to try all year a shot - the Paleo diet.

An easy way to think of the Paleo diet is "eating like a caveman." The theory behind it is that after the agricultural revolution we started eating MAD GRAINS and other stuff like that, making us gain weight.

Basically, you can eat stuff cavemen would have eaten: lean meats, seafood, nuts, veggies, fruit.

You can't eat anything else: no dairy, no gluten, no beans, no bread, no grains.

There are obviously a lot of other rules and nuances to this diet, but I won't get into all that here. If you'd like to learn more, there are many great resources online that you can check out! Here's a good place to start.

I took a trip to Pathmark (aka the nicest grocery store in Jersey City) last night to stock up on essentials - spent a LOT of time in the vegetable section.

Also made an eggplant/mushroom curry last night to eat for lunch today and tomorrow. Recipe here.

With a little planning, I don't think the Paleo diet is going to be too hard to stick to. Hardest parts for me will be: no dairy (love me some milk), and no beer!

Check back next week for results!

Challenge #10 complete!

2011-10-31T17:49:00.002-04:00

So my mysterious challenge didn't end up being that crazy: my mission was to say "Yes" to everything that was proposed to me. Kind of like that movie "Yes Man," only maybe not. I've never seen it.

Here were my only rules:
Say yes to everything unless it would cause me harm, or I already have other plans.

Anyways due to working a lot, honestly I didn't have that many things to say yes to. Wah wahhhh. But here's a rundown:

MONDAY: Spent an evening with Drita D'avangelo from MOB WIVES. It was really fun! I guess I said yes to this a long time ago, but I'll count it just for kicks.

TUESDAY: Worked until 10. Didn't have any proposals to "yes..."

WEDNESDAY: Had to work late, but still made it to dinner plans. Other nights I may have just skipped dinner after getting out late, but I went! And enjoyed it. Thanks, yes week.

THURSDAY: Flew to Vancouver for a weekend of work. Don't think there was anything to "yes" this day...except the delicious steak I had for dinner.

FRIDAY: Was offered a quail egg at dinner. Ate it! EEEk. It was actually good! Thanks, yes week.

SATURDAY: Was given an "amuse bouche" at dinner that consisted of: candied salmon over some sort of salmon mousse. Ordinarily not sure if I would eat this, but I did. And it was good! Also was offered a bite of the dessert, which I didn't really want, but I tried it anyways. I guess in this case saying yes was just doing something I didn't really want to, but oh well!

SUNDAY: Nothing to say yes to today! NUTS!

This ended my week of yes'ing. Unfortunately, it did not work out QUITE the way I planned. Most of my yeses ended up in me eating something. But I guess that's not so bad of a thing :)

I started yesterday, which means that you'll have to wait until Monday to get the low down on how it went...
