Captain Crunch / Cocoa Puffs Diet October 31, 2008
So everyone knows that the Special K diet only works because you’re simply just not eating two meals, and eating a whole hell of a lot of fiber and cereal. A charactor in a book I just read, Water Witches, was eating Captain Crunch and Cocoa Puffs mixed together, which I just thought sounded fabulous, so I was compelled to drive to Schnuck’s and buy some for myself, and it was indeed, fabulous. Which got me to thinking, my dad had told me once when he used to work at food tech corporation called Griffith Laboratories, he learned that all the grains used for cereals and bread products are enriched and fortified to make them “extra nutritional,” which means that the same enriched grains that go into Special K and Cheerios, go into Cocoa Puffs and Captain Crunch, which inspired me to actually look at the nutritional content of Special K, Cocoa Puffs, and Captain Crunch. What did I discover?
Special K Chocolately Delight has 120 calories, 20 from fat, 3% DV fat, 10% DV saturated fat, 8% DV sodium, 2% DV potassium, 8% DV carbs, 5% DV dietary fiber
Cocoa Puffs has 110 calories, 10 from fat, 2% DV fat, 0% DV saturated fat, 6% DV sodium, 2% DV potassium, 8% DV carbs, 4% DV dietary fiber
Captain Crunch has 110 calories, 15 from fat, 2% DV fat, 6% DV saturated fat, 8% DV sodium, 1% DV potassium, 8% DV carbs, 3% DV dietary fiber
As to the other nutirients, Special K and Cocoa Puffs, are shoulder to shoulder, with Captain Crunch being essentially just not that bad.
So here’s to the Captain Crunch / Cocoa Puffs diet!

Trying to Diet July 8, 2008

the zone worked for my cousin in cali, but he’s very athletic
I just like that they have very specific portion amounts
based on my cousin’s advice, you should need 9 “blocks” per day
http://www.nehalpatel.net/blog/2008/03/27/zone/
the portions on the list refer to the portion required of 1 “block” = 1 portion of carb, 1 portion of protein, 1 portion of fat
http://www.mypyramid.gov/
read every single page on this site
especially
http://www.mypyramid.gov/mypyramid/index.aspx create your own pyramid
http://www.mypyramid.gov/pyramid/index.html read about each group, click learn more and read EVERYTHING
I have not used the tracker or menu planner yet
what I did was create my own pyramid, it suggests how many servings in each group, then I looked at the detailed info about each group and listed out what I would eat specifically. especially for the vegetables, it breaks it down into the subgroups, and tells you how many you need from each subgroup each week, which helps towards variety.
read the south beach diet book, it really make sense
http://www.southbeachdiet.com/index3.asp
you can get the free trial, print off all the “foods to enjoy/foods to avoid” list for each phase and then cancel
basically 2-3 weeks cleansing your system before going on the full diet
I go by the mantra “low fat, low salt, low sugar” and apply it to all my food decisions
carb=sugar, all carbs are sugar
Winter Dreams July 1, 2008
He had thought that having nothing else to lose he was invulnerable at last–but he knew that he had just lost something more, as surely as if he had married Judy Jones and seen her fade away before his eyes.
The dream was gone. Something had been taken from him. In a sort of panic he pushed the palms of his hands into his eyes and tried to bring up a picture of the waters lapping on Sherry Island and the moonlit veranda, and gingham on the golf-links and the dry sun and the gold color of her neck’s soft down. And her mouth damp to his kisses and her eyes plaintive with melancholy and her freshness like new fine linen in the morning. Why, these things were no longer in the world! They had existed and they existed no longer.
For the first time in years the tears were streaming down his face. But they were for himself now. He did not care about mouth and eyes and moving hands. He wanted to care, and he could not care. For he had gone away and he could never go back any more. The gates were closed, the sun was gone down, and there was no beauty but the gray beauty of steel that withstands all time. Even the grief he could have borne was left behind in the country of illusion, of youth, of the richness of life, where his winter dreams had flourished.
“Long ago,” he said, “long ago, there was something in me, but now that thing is gone. Now that thing is gone, that thing is gone. I cannot cry. I cannot care. That thing will come back no more.”
You know how I know you lived in the dorms in college? June 24, 2008
Because of all the crazy Internet memes and nonsense you still remember.
Oldies but goodies, new stuff I am still picking up.
Upon why I still have no good opinion on OleMiss undergrads: I remember once having a conversation about fun stuff on the Internet with a Georgia alum and having to Engage.Show.Provide all of it to an OleMiss alum. Basically Georgia and I had lived in the dorms, and truly experienced the internet the way all college students should. While OleMiss probably lived in some condo off campus from the day the got here.
So here are a few gems.

Recognize April 5, 2008
I’m starting to meet a lot more people in my apartment building, especially now that baseball season is about to start and I have a balcony overlooking the stadium. We had our first viewing party last Saturday for the Civil Rights Game, White Soxs v. the Mets… Southside!
But I’m terrible with names, and there are just so many faces. I start by remembering what floor someone takes the elevator or what they carry with them on a regular basis. I think its the same for everyone.
I think people only recognize me because of my dog.
Sometimes I have gotten past the “what floor, what items” and have actually gotten “a name to a face”… but if someone sees me without Little Penguin, they will either start at me blankly, say “oh you’re Penguin’s Mommy”, or take a moment and stutter out my name.
It’s not really a bad thing though. People see me and Little Penguin from far away and stop and wait because they know it’s us because of her!
