This month is "Diet Month"...
For the month of May I'm on a strict diet from Mari-Etta so that I can lose about 15 pounds before Ironman training starts up full swing.
It hasn't been as bad as I thought it was going to be but I've learned a few things in the process...
1. Tuna salad without mayo is not worth eating
2. I can eat pretzels any day, any time, with any thing...which is not good when you're only supposed to have 1.5 servings as a mid-day snack.
3. "100 Calorie Packs" are all packaging and a teeny-tiny bit of food...otherwise known as a big fat rip-off.
4. At desperate times those "100 Calorie Packs" are the best things on the planet.
5. My favorite snack is a Granny Smith apple with a Tbsp of peanut butter...it's heaven.
6. I eat a lot of egg whites...seriously...way too many.
7. Teddy Grahams are no longer allowed in my house unless they are prepackaged into individual servings. An open bag is just disaster for me...because I can justify "finishing the bag off" very easily....and I did....last night.
8. "No room for cheating" is crazy talk but I'm trying.
9. I'm learning that fresh food cooked at home tastes soooo much better than frozen food and entrees....who knew!!?
10. My new best friend Trader Joe's is going to get me through this...
And when I've reached that goal...I'm having pizza...no lasagna...no a burger...please? :)

Just found your blog from a comment you left on Missy's!! I hope you have a great IM KFC race this weekend!! And, I wanted to comment that I am also under the watchful eye of Ms. Mari Etta. Survival on her plan means lots and lots and lots of Trader Joe's. It's a hard thing to follow her plan...but it will be worth the speed in races when we meet our goals.
Feel free to email me about your progress on her plan and maybe we can swap some hints here and there to keep each other on track too!!
