It’s a really tough day but I was able to woof down some Noodles. Maybe i’ll get some Naan tonight. Any suggestions?
The ‘M’ day is one of my favorites. Muffin for breakfast, margarita pizza for lunch and lots of options for dinner. This lunch, I tagged along with Grace’s date with Nader (Ian joined too) to go to a new Italian place on Pearl St. called PastaVino. We had a great lunch with minestrone soup and pizza. It was great.
The day of ‘L’ is always a tough day. Yesterday I was able to power through though by getting lamb for lunch and then a delicious dinner (thanks to D) of Lasagna and Lentil soup, with some lemonade too.
Today is much easier with M. My plan is a meatball sub for lunch and then hopefully some macaroni and cheese for dinner. Who’s with me??
I was planning on eating lots of different ‘f’ items, but when push came to shove, all I did was get a steak fajita for lunch and a chicken fajita for dinner. The point of the diet is supposed to make me branch out into foods I wouldn’t normally eat – and granted I definitely would not have had fajitas yeterdayt – but getting two things back-to-back is not my idea of variety. Hope to do it better today.
D is typically one of the harder days. I’m going to try to go with donuts and dim-sum today. I’m able to at least get it started right
I go to the burrito place Illegal Pete’s almost every day for a buritto bowl. That worked for me yesterday, but I wasn’t sure what to do with myself for today. So, i went with a lunch that was:
- Carnitas
- Corn
- Cheese
- Chips
That seemed to be about right. Of course, it wasn’t that good – but nobody said dieting is easy.
I knew i had to eat a ‘G’ but i wasn’t sure what to do. Luckily, i’m in the middle of Boulder and there are phenomenal restaurants all around. I wanted to find a place that served Gumbo and i was surprised to see that there was one about 2 blocks from my office called Lucile’s.
Not only was Lucile’s the cutest place on earth but the food was delicious. I had a Gumbo plate and my friends had grits and a 3-cheese grilled cheese with bacon and avocado. I made sure to get the sandwich in my pick so you can see the awesomeness.
Today is a hard day. I’m going to try for gumbo for lunch but that’s not a easy task in a mountain town in the middle of the winter.
To get my day going, i went with some Granola, which in Boulder is about as common as road bikes.
We all know that fish and chips are really just fish and french fries. I couldn’t think of a better way to kick off my ‘F’ day than a greasy platter of Irish food.
I will say that i had to abandon the rest of the work group to search out my ‘F’ feast but nobody said the alphabet diet was easy. Eating yourself A to Z requires disciple, commitment and a willingness to eat almost anything.
This, for instance:
I was wondering what to eat for my ‘E’ dinner and then I came to the idea of Enchiladas. What’s the best place to get enchiladas in Boulder? Naturally i thought of the delicious restaurant of Centro.
Getting there, i was doubly pleased to learn that Mondays have happy hour all day. I then grabbed my menu and was again pleasantly surprised to see that they have a fried egg in salsa as an item on the menu.
Only a few days into the diet, i can safely say that i am definitely getting some amazing variety.
