I am still on the Phase 1 of the High Protein, Low Fat, NO CARB diet. This is Day 6. And I believe it may be the last day.
I have Phase 2 printed out and items bought, and since I am dreaming about sweet things, it is time to switch. My husband, Mr. Big Ed, walked in today with a glass of tea and for a split second it looked like cranberry juice and I wanted to wrestle it from his hands and steal it.
Phase 2 will bring in some yogurt, tofu, and most excitingly CARROTS, BEETS and Pita breads. Woot!! Oh yeah, there will be the occasional orange too. All good things.
Does anyone know why I am craving peanut butter at this stage? Every night I have been dying for a spoon of peanut butter. Sometimes I get one, sometimes I don't. It just depends on how I feel.
Anyhoo, I had high plans for making some ketchup or chili sauce out of all those tomatoes that I can't eat, and yesterday morning I woke up and walked to the bathroom. Somehow I stood up wrong or leaned over wrong or something and that damn sciatica hit me full force. It is all over my lower back and over to the right and down my right leg. The same right leg with the arthritis in the hip and knee.
Yeah.
Nothing going on here but ice and ibuprofen. (Here in my house it is Wal-profen from Walgreen's)
Today marks the first day of the defense presenting their case in the Casey Anthony trial. It also marks the 3rd anniversary of little Caylee's death. I don't know how they were able to pinpoint the date down so exactly, but this is the date they are using.
I think the defense lawyer is getting on the job training, and I also think his strategy is to bore the jurors till they say "Uncle, I give, we swear we won't vote for death penalty, if you just STOP!!!!"
I have never seen anything like the sidebar after sidebar in this case. And then there are the sidebars ABOUT the sidebars. It is crazy. That's what it is.
So I am sticking to this diet. I can't stand up. And I am glued to the trial online. In case you are interested in watching something move slower than paint dries, go to wftv.com on casey anthony trial live.
How are things in your life?
I hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteI think Casey's lawyer is going for an "ineffective counsel" appeal. No one could be that incompetent.
Heather, I have thought that very thing about ole Baez. He really just seems like he is doing his on-the-job-training. And that could be good grounds for appeal.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being here!
I read about it every day and even that is boring! I'm glad I'm not on that jury, even as much as I want jury duty. :)
ReplyDeleteWas watching the Today show update on the trial yesterday. There was some concern that the prosecution didn't have concrete forensic evidence, just a bunch of suspicious behavior and a lot of lying. There was a lot of discussion on whether the defense would need to try to prove this whole story about her drowning in the pool. That was a really bizarre twist.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the sciatica! that sucks :( Great job making it to Phase 2!
I'm doing the low-carb thing, too. Well, not today, as is apparent by the hamburger in a bun that I just ate. Oh, and the 2 cookies I had earlier. Which is dumb of me because eating low carb works for me with the weight loss. I'll join you again tomorrow. Promise!
ReplyDeleteOooh Kathy,
ReplyDeleteI want to be on a low-carb diet that includes hamburger buns and cookies! Mine has asparagus and celery.
I was never so happy to see the Phase 2 part of the diet that includes yogurt!
