The 17 Day Diet (PART II) -- Day 1

So, my first day of actually doing the diet again. I'm feeling good! Despite many, many, MANY temptations, I stayed true to my diet! So, on to the list.

This morning I woke up to go to work (I currently intern at Steady Clothing) and I scrambled up 4 eggs, made green tea, and chopped up some strawberries and paired them with a glob of cottage cheese. A very good, healthy, and hearty breakfast! The first good breakfast I've had in a long time.

Work was torture for my stomach. 10 am til 3 pm without a bite, just bagging clothes up for the web store. The highlight of my work day, however, was when Katie, one of my bosses, came up to me out of the blue while I was working on the sample line and handed me a red clutch. "What's this?" I asked. "For you! The people from Roadkill sent purses for all of the girl here, so here you go." The perks of working at a clothing brand's headquarters.

After work and before I headed up to LA for a voiceover audition, I stopped by Pick Up Stix. I saw all the delicious Pad Thai, Cheese Wontons, and Fortune Cookies attacking me, but I sensibly went with their Signature Chinese Chicken Salad. It was delicious, a spring mix with mandarin oranges, wontons, chicken and a delicious dressing.

I drove up to LA, went to the audition, then went to FedEx to work on some last minute school work. Then I rushed to get down to IVC and was an hour and 15 minutes late to class, but still-I made it!

My friend Alex was there so afterwards she insisted on something greasy and fast (as she usually does).  So we went to Jack in the Box. Man, that was tough and Alex did not make it any easier! She bought a burger and their delicious curly fries! But I held strong and got the chicken strips. They were breaded and I had them with ketchup, so I don't know how healthy they were, but it was a lot better than any of their other options.

As I'm writing this, I'm at home and I just brew myself some chamomile citron tea that my boyfriend and I got from a very special place. And for the first time ever I took these two green tea tablets that I got in China. They're supposed to do wonders for getting skinny and cleaning out your body of any toxins. I don't know how well they work, but they're green tea tablets, so that makes it easier than brewing anything.

Until tomorrow!
