I had another romantic date with myself this evening in an effort to do something other than drinking. I walked to the new Tribeca Barnes and Noble. It was so spacious that I almost felt like I was at a mall in NJ. Then after reading a few magazines, walked up Greenwich street. Despite working on Duane between Church and Broadway for 6 months, I never got a chance to venture southwest during my lunch break- mainly cause I was getting paid by the hour and I was usually super busy. Whole new world. Can't believe I never walked up Greenwich street either.
So on my way taking the very long way home, I passed Carolina Korvakova while crossing Canal. A filming of a TV show, two very dikey lesbian bars and I finally bit the bullet and stood in line for a Magnolia cupcake- a treat I haven't had for probably over 6 months.
So here it goes folks. My doctor said I need to curb my carb in take if I don't want to develop any serious ailments. My Magnolia cupcake was symbolic of an end of an era. I'm hoping that by telling my readers, this will help keep me motivated. Apparently carbs cause more cravings and are the number one reason why despite maintaining an regular exercise routine and eating relatively healthy, my weight goes up. I'll keep ya'll posted and because this was the doctor's orders- old, very experienced and intelligent specialist from New Zealand who was very thorough and related an increase in obesity related diseases to the advent of farming- my kind of doctor.
And off to Notting Hill. What more could I ask for?
P.S. Said life style change also means drastically decreasing my drinking aside from a glass of red wine here and there. I'm definitely ready for that because I've lost my taste for hard liquor, never liked beer and am sick of feeling sick after drinking. Added benefit would be saving lots of money and being functional on the weekends. Not to mention that there's nothing I hate more than waking up in the summer heat, dehydrated and hung over.
