Something I just have to get off my chest.   Wednesday, September 11, 2002   It's not easy being cheesy. One doesn't look the way I do by sitting around being lazy. If you want to look like I do, you have to sit around being lazy and EAT food in copious quantities that would make farm-variety hogs wince. Today was a relatively light day and I know that I'll need to eat more to maintain my current proportions. I am up for the challenge. Breakfast: 1 bowl Kashi Go Lean with soymilk 1/2 peanut butter, jelly, and banana sandwich on Orowheat Oatnut bread grapefruit juice Snack: n/a Lunch: tuna salad sandwich on aforementioned bread with lettuce, tomato, and mustard 8 tortilla chips with dill dip 4 candy pumpkins 1 "fun-size" Butterfinger Snack: n/a Supper: 1/2 Met-Rx shake (berry blast) tuna salad, lettuce, tomato on tortilla Post-workout: 1 1/2 glasses of wine (see Monday entry for tasting notes and rating) 8:57 PM   Tuesday was a total waste.
