Weightwatchers
This whole diet craze amazes me. The girls downstairs are on this 7 day diet. V and his brother are going on this Atkins or close-to-it diet, another friend is on Atkins til Hawaii, another perpetual Atkins, every diet you can think of, I can find at least one person I know who'll be on it. I think these people don't need such a hard-core diet but it's their prerogative. Diets are a pretty wierd thing...to me, one has to look at the bigger picture. Why? Because if someone just stopped eating carbs, they'd definitely lose weight, especially if they work out as well...but once they return back to a regular diet, then the weight comes back on. So short-term weight loss would be cool I guess. Or, one can totally overshoot their target weight, lose some extra pounds, and then when the regular eating methods are resumed then the little initial weight gain will be accounted for. But personally, I think the most effective diet would be to just burn off more than one takes in on a normal basis and cutting out the EXTRAS. Like not drinking so much soda...running once or twice a week...even walking. That way, a drastic change in diet would not have to be taken or anything like that. I guess I'm just a diet-hater :)

Work has been real busy this past week, the day has been flying by, not to mention cute girl walks back and forth like once every hour, which makes for a nice nice mini-break(My workstation is in a prime location...I hope they don't move me when I start FT). I can't believe I used part of my lunch hour to write this earlier....
