Nutrition content over taste? A new philosophy.

I have a trainer at the gym telling me what to eat these days.  It is a far departure from eating whatever I crave and whatever tastes good and whatever is cheap and convenient and whatever my favorite restaurants are serving.  I might actually burn out on chicken breasts at this pace.  If I consistently chose those over beef, turkey, or white fish, that would mean eating 24 ounces of chicken breast meat a day. If protien powder didn't come in a variety of flavors, I might burn out on that, too.  A huge change in my lifestyle includes keeping fruits, greens, and yogurt around now.  I eat bananas for breakfast anyway, but never in the quantity which I'm eating now.  I'm cooking and washing dishes a lot more.  I can't say that I'm saving any money, though.  This is six meals a day!  My metabolism is already in overdrive.  I can't say that I feel better, because I'm always stuffed.  And sticking to the diet is moderately challenging when traveling.  Luckily, the Hilton I'm in now has a good room service menu.  If Hilton did the cooking all the time, I could totally envision making this diet a lifestyle.  Just leave the tray in the hallway?  Okay!

I'm in Minneapolis and we're getting ready to move a big chunk of internet gear from one room to another.  It's just a few OC192s.  Some servers.  Some switches.  Some routers.  Eh, we're ready.  Internet access on cable modems in Minneapolis might be a little, uh, intermittent for a short time tonight.  I tried to rest this evening, but ended up in the hot tub.  Then, I watched some trash on TV.  Anacondas is a terrible movie, but I couldn't stop staring.  Hotel cable doesn't leave many choices.  I could have watched a guy bread fish with crushed fried pork skins (chiccarones) to reduce carbs.  Anacondas was less frightening.
