Been some (food) changes 'round here: 5 pics

Lighter is always easier. Waist size is directly correlated with risks for cardiovascular heart disease. You can never be too thin or rich.
The theme for this blog for 2011 was going to be "Taking a year off." The reason for that idea was that I now work more than 60 hour weeks (mornings, nights, weekends). The stress is real and the lack of control that I have over my schedule is, well, very frustrating.
Whatever the challenges may be, I do, in fact, have a coping mechanism.
First of all, this is what the office life offers:
That is cake plus candy.  And there are also some delicious goodies in that foil package (i'm only guessing, I didn't go near it). This is what we all face in office life- sedentary emotional overeaters who want to share their misery with the world via extra fat calories.
So what I decided to do, in all of my brilliance, is to find a way to ride (riding to work with heavy heavy bag, at least 5 hours per week) and eat that promotes fitness. Let's discuss eating.  Here is a new lunch (pardon the cashews, they are banned for now).

This is an expensive option from Whole Foods salad bar, I think it was more than $10.  How heavy is broccoli anyways?  The foundation of my new "stress-coping-control-response" is breakfast.  Here is a photo from this morning, which has been the same since April 10th.

Coffee with no dairy or sugar, egg whites with Chervil (?) and ground up garlic sea salt and one plain piece of whole-grain toast.  Here is a typical lunch (actual photo from my lunch... is this weird?).
What you see here is boat-load of veggies (celery sticks, cherry tomatoes, carrots- all eaten first) over a bed of healthy tuna (add olive oil, capers, fresh lemon juice, capers, and other herbs).  And of course I do not eat any of this sh*t, at all:

Could you really do a whole blog entry based on pictures of things you eat and things you don't eat? 
I just did.

  2. Hmmm, I thought it would be caviar for a baller such as yourself? Guess we all go slummin' sometimes.
    By the way, isn't 3 pounds like 15% of your bodyweight? Scary.
