Forgot to do this earlier as a result I'm blogging from my girlfriend's bathtub so the light from the computer won't keep her up. There are sometimes sacrifices to be made if you're a night person and you want to date a day person.

Anyhow, its actually pretty comfortable in here, I've got a pillow, I can put my feet up. My computer is resting comfortably on my lap with the screen against my knees and my back is well supported by the wall.

I believe I've found the perfect blogging pose. I'm even in the perfect position for navel gazing.

Very little to report. Still oversleeping, but I think that has more to do with a slightly messed up sleep and professional schedule than my diet. Though I think more avocados will help me maintain a consistent energy level through the day.

I want to try and get more exercise this week, maybe go for a jog or something on Monday morning. See if my pink new lungs have grown in or if I'm still more tar than man.

Interesting side note, I'm not really losing weight. I've lost a little of course, but I'm still the same shape for the most part, and I suspect the same weight as well. This probably has to do with the fact that I'm not getting any exercise for the most part. I'm not adding new weight, but I'm not sucking it up either. I'll do a weighing on November 1st I suppose, though I forgot to do one on September 30th. I was around 200 the week before, so that's good enough for my pseudo-science. I'll have to track down a scale.

Interesting that I didn't lose much weight though. I suppose I kept myself further from starvation than I thought I did, though I suspect I've been running out of something or other on and off for most of this month. I'm definitely a lot paler. But then again, I'm a Vancouverite and we lose the sun somewhere in the middle of October. Its hard to tan under grey skies.

I feel pretty healthy, so that's a plus, as well as a nod to the ability for a person to support themselves on a raw food diet. You will live. Though as I was eating my raw food pizza today and drinking my raw food shake I realized I couldn't do this forever. Or even for much longer than a month. The food is tasty, if well prepared, and has interesting flavours and dense nutrients, but for me personally it could never be a staple. Though most of what I've read has suggested that most raw foodists keep around 80-90% I don't think I could do much more than 50. I miss sandwiches and eggs and coffee and toast and potatoes.

I am looking forward to returning to cooked food. Though hopefully I will at least try and remember my lesson and eat a balanced diet. Suppose we'll see.

Anyhow, 7 days remaining, well 6 now. We're in the homestretch and I can smell the future.

The future smells like bacon.
