captain_slinky | Silly Diet

Crystal and i have been low-carb dieting for a few months now, with pretty good results. We started about a month before Halloween so that we'd be skinnier for our epic trip to Disneyland, then we started back on low-carbing almost as soon as we got back. And now with the onset of the Holidays, he're making some... modification.

-Christmas Cookies are okay as long as they are home-made, Christmassy AND/OR super-fancy. So for example, a bg of Chips Ahoy is not allowed, but a Starbucks Gingerbread Snowman is completely acceptable.

-Candy Canes don't count because we couldn't find sugar-free ones anywhere local and we don't want to buy them on-line.

-Christmas-themed beverages are allowed, mainly because we got some punch-card thingee that gives us a free Holiday Starbucks Drink for every 5 or 6 of them we buy and by NOT drinking any? Well that's like throwing away perfectly good coffee!

-Candy is allowed ONLY if it is Holiday Themed. Foil-wrapped Santa is okay, Hershey Bar is out.

Other than that, it's pretty much a really strict low-carb diet :)
