Update

Dear Friends, and Family, and Random people who read this blog,


Some of you have been wondering where I've gone.  And I must tell you that I haven't gone anywhere.  The truth is I have been right here fighting an epic battle with the legendary BORE-asauraus rex.  A gigantic but stealthy creature that seems to engulf your life.  You know the type - making your job tedious, and then forcing you to sit on your ass watching at least two episodes of Niptuck with your husband every night (damn you dvd delivery companies) while you develop an ever growing secretary spread and when you look at your ass in the mirror you begin to wonder whether it was possible for you to confuse your colleague saying "I know" under his breath with calling you a "wide load".  No?  Is this just me?  


Anywhodiddle doodle, to pick up where we left off I was on the Crazy Sexy Diet and I can report to you on a few things now.  The author said to expect mood swings, what I didn't know was that on Wednesday I would be brought to tears by an old people's choir singing Ain't No Mountain High Enough.  And then on Thursday I would become a blubbering mess because I was too bored and proceed to scarf down a massive cupcake thinking that would cure me.  I am sure the fact that this coinciding with certain monthly cycles did not help one bit.  But such is life.  On the physical side of things, I have lost a little weight.  The best affect this diet has had on me though is I don't have cravings.  Yes you heard right, I don't actually want to eat junk food.  It just doesn't do it for me anymore.  knock on wood.


Sugar is gone, cheese is gone, eggs are gone, gluten is gone (and I have no more tummy aches.) Also maybe this is TMI but I hardly ever fart now.  I don't really know if I was an above average farter to begin with - I mean how many a day is average?  Well now it is significantly less which is really quite beneficial and I hardly ever have to pull a fart and run now. (less beneficial if you need amo for cupcaking younger siblings, but thats not such a problem these days.)  OK I'm sorry for acting like a 10 year old boy.  


So here are some of the new recipes I've been making up / learning since being on this diet.  


Samosa Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

And Mango, Mexican bean Quinoa

I feel like no one ever actually makes the recipes so I won't bother posting them unless people really want them.  Ask and ye shall receive.  But they were both inspired by Veganomicon.


hugs and kisses blog land.
