Root Betrayal

You know you’ve lost your damn mind when you think of a carrot stick as cheating.

When I was contemplating about what to do next in terms of documenting journeys, I had looked into the Vicky’s Angel’s diet until I settled on a home clean-up and sell of materialistic excess in order to offset the cost of five tickets to Greece this Summer. During my research of the Angels diet, I read about the foods (or more accurately the lack thereof) that it entailed.

And what I discovered was shocking and incredibly painful. Root vegetables, carrots being one of them, are NOT good for dieting. Carrots have SIX grams of carbs in just one stick. FUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNN. I double checked Bob’s list of “Unlimited Veggies” and you know what? Yup you guessed it. Carrots are NOT on the list. This whole time I have been merrily munching on these orange plant roots, unwittingly sabotaging my plan!

I don’t know whether to feel mortified or thrilling anticipation. Swapping out celery, asparagus, cucumber and mushrooms for carrots is super easy. So I forsee that final little bit that I have been waiting for will arrive. Or will it?

Only one way to find out. Oh and P.S. I blame Bob Harper. His book jacket sports a very carrot-like color. Talk about false advertising. 

Day 22- Goodbye to carrots, hello to ab crack in six days perhaps. Still on the plan, but getting harder to resist temptations because frankly, this is getting old.
