The 3-Day...

Miss Baltimore asked me the other day if I was on one of my 3-days.

"Wot's that?" I said.

"You know," MB said, "The three days when you can eat anything you want between your 11-day diets."

"Oh." I said. "No, that starts on Friday."

But yes, this diet allows you three days in which you can eat anything at all that you want and sabotage all your hard-won weight loss of the preceding 11 days. Today (yesterday now) was day one of the first 3-day.

I did pretty well (well, not counting the two dry, chocolate-free biscotti with my morning decaf) until lunchtime, when I had a brownie. And tonight I overate rather seriously on Omaha Steaks' Gourmet Franks. I had three of em. (no bread, though. Just mixed vegetables.)

I think I'll not do any weighing in at all until after I'm back on the next 11 days. Yes. I just made that rule.

  1. Can you eat home made cinnamon buns?
    Or are they on the Do Not Eat list?

  2. ooh, yum! well, about 3/4 or more of what i DO eat is stuff i CAN'T (or shouldn't) eat. cinnamon buns were a staple of life on the northern plains. my mom, and then i, used to make a delectable variation from biscuit dough. you seem to enjoy baking, right? have you read any of beatrice ojakangas's books? they're some of the best resources for bakers around. she's maybe finnish...lives in or near duluth, mn.
