day 8: going on "0 carb" diet

whoever voted that "johnny should have 6 pack by now" ... as much as i'd like to prove you're right, i hate to dissapoint you but i'm not that far off from day 0 ... maybe shaved a little fat off me bellies, but me 6 pack is still tucked away, hibernating somewhere ...

this is why, for the next 2 days (today and tomorrow) i'm going on "no carb" diet (according to larry, this means less than 50g of carb a day) ... i just learned that this also means i can't eat fruit (high in carbs) ... normally, this wouldn't be a problem as i drink a lot of sugar-intoxicated drinks (coffee, non-diet soft-drinks, and artificial juices) making fruit taste quite sour to me ...

but since i've cut down on sugar in the last week, i've gotten to like the natural sweet taste of apples and other fruit ... however, before i knew i was going on this diet ... i thought i was making a smart move by going to the grocery store to buy bags of bananas and apples ... they now sit on my desk at work taunting me! ... dang-it!! ...

sticking to meats and veggies ... as much as i like red meat, this is a royal pain-in-me-behind! ...
