Went grocery shopping today for this new diet. Got chicken, brown rice, soy sauce, hot sauce, pistachios, two oranges, and some raspberries.

It was no more expensive than my usual trip and the rice and sauces should be very rare purchases. So this will probably be cheaper.

Made the rice and chicken. The rice was hard. Think it was overcooked. I followed the package directions but whatever. I'll check it next time.

The chicken was fine. I used my George Foreman grill. And I put tin foil on it to make clean up easier. What a brilliant idea that was. It stuck to the tin foil a bit so imagine how terrible the sticking would be if I had it directly on the grill. Plus, I don't like handling chicken. People always talk about bacteria.

Anyway, the rice wasn't good but I can see eating the chicken every day. It wasn't great but it was at least as good as these hamburgers that I've eaten every day for the past decade. There's also other stuff that you can do with the chicken (marinades, sauces, whatever).

Easy to make too. So great.

Now the second part of this idea: working out. I just have dumbbells but it's all I need. You just pick them up and put them down. I do it sitting down just on my futon so the form isn't ideal but it still works. Why wouldn't it?

I did this years ago when I was looking into getting a job with the police and I saw big time results. I didn't even have this great diet plan then. But I would do it for hours and hours every day. Maybe five hours a day. Something like this. Four or five. I read that you should only work out for like 30 minutes a day or something but I find it hard to believe.

I'm just going to go with it. Now is a perfect time. Carry on Nurse is on. And situations like this occur all the time: absolutely nothing watchable on television. And even if there is something worth watching, I can still watch it.

So yeah, going to get huge, improve my health, whatever. The ladies are impressed by this as well.
