Screw it.

No, really. Screw this. This is stupid.

I'm not going to force myself to eat crap that, in turn, makes me feel like crap...just because I spent money how many months ago. Really, that makes no sense! In the words of my economics professor (who knew I actually learned something in that class?!), it's a "sunk cost." I spent the money. It's gone either way. I can't make up for it now. So I should move on and make the best choice for myself now, without regard for that. So that's what I'm doing.

The fridge and pantry are getting cleaned out this weekend, sans guilt. I feel just as guilty eating the crap as I do throwing it away, so out it goes. I'm having trouble finding a place to donate the stuff, so if I can find one by weekend's end, it'll go there...otherwise, it's hitting the trash bin. (It's a shame, really, with all the homelessness in DC, but I don't know what else to do...) Sayonara, brown rice!!

PS -- Did I also mention that I bought this shirt as a reward?
Why? Well...for finally being sensible!

**WOD**
-- TBD...gotta actually get some school stuff done for once.

Experimentation.

I can't remember the last time I've had this much grain in a three-day period. FOR REAL. Heck, I can't even remember the last time I had a meal containing pasta at all, let alone cooking it for myself.

Pretty sure I'm proving the difference between eating paleo and following "conventional wisdom," just in how I feel about myself. Today for lunch I really just wanted meat and veggies, and then for dinner I just wanted something light. I'm learning one thing for sure through this little part of my experiment: Paleo eating works for me. It just feels "right," and I feel better (outwardly and about myself) when I'm doing it. As a result, I'm actually anxious to convert to paleo full-time just as soon as this crap is gone.

That said, I probably will not be waiting until all the crap is gone. (I can't even put that in quotes anymore...it is crap.) I threw some things out today because, let's be real: I'm not eating white rice or Pasta Roni anymore...I don't care if I did buy it. Some things are just not appetizing, whatsoever.

The best thing that could happen to me this weekend would be to find a grocery store with one of those food collection barrels at the door. I'd drop my load off at the door and walk on out with just produce and meat.

This is certainly an interesting experiment, huh?!
