Day 240: The breakfast diet and other craziness

In literally 4 days, I will be booty up in the sand, at the beach, while generally I use this time to get ready to look amazing. I haven't once thought about it, I'm still trying to get acclimated to being back and then I'll leave. Since it was so crazy in Bangladesh, often we only had one time a day to eat, so at 7 or 8 am, we would wake up and attempt to consume an entire day's worth of calories in one setting (this is not hard..btw) and by the end of the day, hopefully we burned it all off.

We jokingly called this "the breakfast diet"

Then as you are travelling there is a very long 10-12 hour period that you don't eat, because you are usually sleeping. But since you're awake, you're still not hungry, so you are really not eating that very often.

We call this "the travel diet"

When you return from whatever country, it is hard (and maybe this is just for me) to go from unprocessed, natural food, to a more processed food like we have here, preservatives, etc. this causes all the food I eat to come back out/up fairly quickly. And then it causes me to hesitate before putting more food in my mouth, because I don't want that feeling again. I actually lost 18 lbs when I returned from Honduras.

I call this "the returning to the states diet"

And because I'm not overweight, but just kinda jiggly, I decided 200 crunches a day will fix that in time for Saturday morning.

I call this "how long did it take you to get a 6 pack"

And the whole silly diet thing, trust I don't believe in, which calls me to call this whole craziness

"How long did DJ just eat ice cubes?" diet

silliness ensues.
