two years ago, i spent a week eating as a vegan...last year, i suffered through a similar week in which i ate as a carnivore. this year, is going to be my greatest challenge yet. this year, friends, i will not eat. this year, i will drink. i'll consume the foods i normally consume...but only after shoving 'em in a blender and turning it into a liquidy treat.

today, dear friends, was the first day....and if today is any indication, then this is going to be a VERY long week.

i didn't really eat much during the day...an instant breakfast shake and some nice red tea later on. it was dinner, however, that destroyed me. steak and potatoes...steak and potatoes. those two things, my friends, should never be in liquid form together. the steak and potatoes beverage tasted fine...but the texture....and the smell.

...needless to say, the nutrients that i consumed from that 'meal' exited my body shortly after they entered. so what did i do after that? well, i continued to drink the concoction, of course. there are starving children in china, afterall...it wouldn't be right for me to waste food like that....even if it was technically being wasted when i vomited it up minutes later.

at this pace, though, with all the upchucking and such, i'm wondering how many nutrients my body will actually absorb through the week....i'll probably have to develop some sort of game or something to get myself to eat. like maybe steal an activity from the drunks and do a drinking game....maybe make up a liquified meal and watch some golden girls. every time dorothy is sarcastic, rose makes a stupid comment, or blanche hits on some dude, i've gotta take a chug of whatever it is i'm drinkin' for dinner. maybe if i don't try to down it all at once, my stomach can take it.

anyway, so, that's the plan...no chewing this week at all. it's all liquified...so for this week, i guess my happiness is gonna go down the drain...with the rest of the food that i vomit up through the week. toodles!
