Fight on for ol' SC... fight on to victory.

In the infamous words of Ice Cube "Today was a good day." 


It was the first home game of the season at my Alma Mater, USC. We beat Virgina and I got some good exercise climbing the stairs of the Coliseum after we gave our good seats away. 

The only thing to eat was at the ESPN "VIP" party we got into which was hosted by a Buffalo wings restaurant. Being a VIP meant you got to eat Buffalo wings, celery, drink domestic beer, and watch some TV's. Not so impressive. After reading the menu and asking the server which sauce was the least caloric, I was even less impressed when she had no idea what that meant. "Which sauce is the least worst for me?" 


So, I had maybe 5 wings with a sauce that didn't have the word "sweet" in the title and a pile of celery. Since the only thing I had consumer during the day was a single OptiFast, I decided that I'd break the rules and have a reasonable dinner. Two meals in a day? The horror. 


Persian food is a good choice for healthy eating. Charbroiled kebobs (I chose shrimp) and you can always ask for salad instead of rice. They don't do heavy dressings. It's lemon juice/oil/spices. The oil helps you absorb your vitamins, so a little wont end the world. 


The challenge I am finding with incorporating real food in with my OptiFast is that I can't convince myself to drink 3 shakes, have a bar, and the protein-rich dinner that my doctor prescribed. I am not comfortable going over 800 calories. I was seeing results with that and now, just two weeks into it, he wants me to increase. Maybe this is the start of an eating disorder, but the whole point of starting the program was to lose weight quickly. I'm also just not hungry. I eat/drink my shakes because I know I'm supposed to. 


This is really not a problem I imagined myself having, but I can't say I'm hating it. 

Oh, and USC won. :)
