GOALS

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

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!
