Day 6 of Bet
Today was day 6 of my bet. Did just fine, but still got raging caffeine-related headaches. Lost 6 lbs so far, which means I can fit into many of my old clothes. Sent off my application for the Disney ABC Writing Program. Thanks to Caroline and Betty who gave me awesome notes on revising my essays.
Day 4 of Bet
Crap. Got a raging headache and was craving chocolate last night. Today I've eaten some eggs and hummus with cucumber. Very healthy, very satisfying, but goddman I would kill for a carrot cake. Damn you Sugar Bet. On a positive note, so far I've lost 5 pounds. Not bad. Getting ready to send out NBC app tomorrow. Revised my spec once [...]
Day 3 of Bet
Today was kind of tough. I was working on my essays for NBC's Writers on the Verge program. Note to self, don't quit what you're addicted to when you need to be high performing. Oh well. I'm sweating like crazy, which I think is my body reacting to the lack of sugar AND it's muggy in LA. Definitely feel lightheaded, which is not a good [...]
Day 2 of Bet
OMFG, I have a raging headache from lack of sugar. I'm an addict and my buddy was right. Yikes. Can't even sleep because my head is going to explode. Sugar > Aadip
Day 1 of Bet
Not so bad. Don't miss the sugar yet. Went to the store and bought all sorts of healthy goodies. Much cheaper than all the processed crap I usually eat. Still able to write and hang out without much trouble. Sugar < Aadip
I made a bet today

Coffee, Mountain Dew, Snickers, anything that makes your insulin go haywire. Having struggled with some sleep issues for some time, he had a [...]

Best TV of the Week
OK, it's 3am and I can't sleep. I've heard hours of helicopters, fire trucks, and police screaming around, above, and through my neighborhood. It's life in LA, but man, I feel like we're under siege. So, I'm gonna list the best episodes of this week in TV. I know the week isn't over, but here goes. Sons of Anarchy (intense, bad people [...]
When too much is too much
As it rained for about 3 minutes in West LA today (not sure if it rained in the Valley...which might as well be a different country sometimes), I was thinking, hmm, did I sign up for gray skies and rain by moving to LA. The fact that I reverted back to my old NW edginess, angst, and irritability was not lost on me. Just finished up a website, [...]
