12.17.2003 Weight: 265Mood: reluctantly perky I was in the cafeteria yesterday, picking up my usual chicken caesar salad and hard boiled eggs for lunch, when I found myself idly examining the ranks of "energy drinks" lined up in the freezer cabinet. One of them, Monster Energy, had a low-carb version. Since I was slightly mole-eyed from JJ having a bad dream that morning (I can only assume that's why he was yowling outside our bedroom door at 5:30 AM), I figured what the heck, let's pick up a can and try it. At first, it tasted like slightly carbonated juice of some sort (pear, maybe), that someone dissolved Flintstones chewable vitamins in, then left to ferment. Later on, I decided that it tasted like hairspray (and no, I don't drink hairspray. But you can guess how something will taste if you smell it, and Lord knows I've smelled enough hairspray in my life), and resolved to write it off as an interesting but ultimately unsuccessful experiment. That was before this morning, when I weighed myself and found I'd lost three pounds of water weight. Um. . . Yeah, well, it still tastes like hairspray. However, that water weight loss was nice, and I feel decidedly perky (although much of that can be attributed to Lyndon's interview). So, since the loss of more water weight would be highly desired right now, I'm gagging down another can. It helps if I sip it through a straw without breathing, I've found. |
