I know what you're all thinking...what do you mean might? I've realized I have some really odd habits that are growing out of some of my not so odd habits. The other night I was on the Internet looking for something to do with food and the next thing I know I'd written out a seven course dinner menu that I would serve if I had a restaurant (or a really nice kitchen). I had to stop myself when I actually spent more than five minutes wrestling over the inclusion of a cheese and charcuterie plate and worried that it would be superfluous because of my beef carpaccio with shaved parmesan course.
A few months back, while looking up sabermetric baseball stats, I invented a new stat. If you don't know what sabermetrics is, be thankful and don't invest any time into it. It's like taking all the awful things most people hate about math and combining them with baseball statistics. It's confusing as hell and I absolutely love it.
I saw a movie that disturbed me (ironically just today, a friend just wrote and entire blog on this movie and how much it upset her) so much I spent nearly five hours researching the actual case. What I found was that where the movie seemed to cross every boundary imaginable, it paled in comparison to the actual true events. The recent Cleveland, Ohio kidnapping case has brought these mental images back into my brain and they are definitely something I'd like to forget.
While walking the other night, I checked my phone and realized it took me 41 minutes to walk 2.1 miles. I immediately started thinking about how this related to other sports. At this pace it would take me 1 minute exactly to walk from home plate to third base. It would take me about 66 seconds to walk across a football field. If I could keep up the pace, it would take me eight in a half hour to walk a marathon. Sadly I figured all this out in my head while I was walking and confirmed it when I got home.
I wrote out a diet, that if I started it on the day I wrote it out, would see me lose about 30 lbs by October 1st of this year. The diet ranged between 1200-1500 calories a day and consisted of three meals and two snacks. The only thing I would drink is water on this diet, so there were no hidden drink calories. The breakdown was roughly 35% carbs, 30% proteins and 35% coming from fat. Now while some might not like the higher protein and fat content, I find that I lose faster with low carb meals. I also planned on getting most of my fat from items like eggs and avocado. The best part of my diet was that it would probably end up costing me less than $30 a week on food. We'll see if this ever comes to fruition.
There are other things, but some are embarrassing and some are just plain bizarre, so I'll keep them to myself and just leave this brief record of my impending insanity.
