No kitty for me, Windows Vista is the tool of the devil, and diet stuff

[exatron]

I learned today that my sister's friends lost all of their kittens. Apparently, the weather turned cold, the mother stopped producing milk, and hand-feeding didn't work. :(

Last week I got my first chance to really use Windows Vista. My grandmother got a new PC with it installed, and was having a rough time with the thing. It's filled with weird, arbitrary changes, slow eye candy, and a frustrating veneer of security. If I had known she was getting one I'd have made sure it had XP or steered her toward a Mac. Oh well, I guess there's always trying to get a downgrade out of the manufacturer.

Daily things

• 90 oz reguar water
• 10-16 oz. mineral water
• 1 wheatgrass cube or 1 oz. wheatgrass juice

Meal 1

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 scoop whey protein powder
• 1 tbsp. flax oil
• ½ cup blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries

Mix with water and let sit overnight.

Meal 2

Same as meal 1, but use 1 tsp. cod liver oil and only ½ cup oatmeal.

Meal 3

• 4 oz. chicken breast
• 6 oz. sweet potato, yam, or purple potato
• 1 cup broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, or other high-quality veggie

Cook in extra virgin olive oil.

Meal 4

One of the following bars: Organic Bar, Pure Bar, Lara Bar, Daryl Bar, or Zero Impact Bar

Meal 5

• 4 oz. organic poultry or 1 cup cottage cheese
• 1 cup veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, leafy greens, asparagus)
• ½ cup whole grain rice or ½ medium sweet potatoes on high-carb days, none on low-carb days

Meal 6

• 4 cage free egg whites, 1 yolk
  Cook in ½ tbsp. extra virgin coconut oil
• 2 pieces sprouted bread on high-carb days, mixed bell peppers and onions (Strike that ingredient. I hate onions) on low carb days

Alternate high-carb and low carb days.

So far, it's gone well, and I should start seeing big results in the next week or two. The biggest trouble I've had is work tempting me with thing like cake, cookies, bagels, donuts, and pizza. Oh, and I'm having dreams about sweets now.

Awwr, too bad about the kitties. Its so sad. >:

Well, I know some people continue to find XP the best for their uses, but I think I've adapted to Vista rather well, plus it has some functionalities that make it a lot faster to browse thruogh than XP once you get the hang of it. But that's just my opinion.

Whoa, that's some diet. Kudos if you have that much discipline. I have a hard time just staying away from sweets and pop. >_

I think I feel worse about it than my sister's friends do.

There are other more nerdy reasons I despise Vista, but hearing them would probably put you to sleep. It sped up a lot once I turned off the eyecandy. For a while, it was taking at least a minute for Word to start.

The diet has been surprisingly easy to follow so far, and I'm known for my sweet tooth.
