Beware the Ides of March. So it says in Julius Caesar. I suppose I should have bewared it myself, starting up on the diet again.
Not sure why, but one of the apples I bought only two nights ago was smushed and moldy in the bag with the others, so this morning I had to take extra time and take all the apples out of the bag and wash them off, and then throw out the gross one. So now I have a line of apples on the kitchen counter. What a way to start off Week 3... first being up 4 lbs and then moldy diet food, right? Well, it wasn't over yet.
When I got to the office today, I had brought three of the apples, a pouch of grapes, two bowls worth of soup, and a container of mixed fruit that was left over from the last diet week, which was still fresh. Or so it looked anyways. The only things fresh in that mixture was the three grapes and the one piece of honeydew. The blackberries, blueberries, strawberry slices, and pineapple chunks were all in various stages of mushyness. The pineapple was salvageable, but nothing else really was.
I didn't eat the apples, but started on the grapes. I offered some to my dad who pointed out that there was some mold there too! Out of a 5.5 lb bag I lost about a quarter of them from mold and mush. AND from the mushy ones they were leaking juice out of the pouch, so I got some nice stain on my hoodie. When I saw that I knew that I was doing some laundry tonight :(
The rest of the day has been alright. Ate one bowl's worth of the soup at work, then ate two at home. Finished half of the grapes that were left. Had a small cup of pineapple tidbits. Watched the Blazer game.
On a note, I bought my steak for this week; 12 oz. petite sirloin, and it's seasoning already, waiting to be cooked on Saturday. I have some veggies for tomorrow, but I need more. But I am looking forward to the baked potato!
