Too Bad You Can't Can't Have Some Cheese With That Whine...

We are not going to lie, it's been hard as HELL giving up basically everything we were used to eating: sugar, rice, potatoes (anything white), carbs (our beloved pasta – we ate it at least twice a week), fruit and all the wine we enjoyed nightly. The real killer was no dairy because we LOVE cheese. Not the processed Kraft cheese slices kind, but the delectably delicious kind that Jenn brings back from her trips to London, Paris & Switzerland. She cried 2 days after we started because she couldn’t have her beloved cheese, but as the days went by, we both found ourselves developing a strong sense of will power & determination. Together, we can do this diet and we owe it to ourselves to try. As much as we wanted to give in to our food temptations, we were not about to give up so easily. But seriously, stopping cold turkey is a shock to the system. The only thing that keeps us going is the fact that cheat day is right around the corner and we can eat whatever we want.  Well, that and the 2 glasses of red wine we get to drink every night. Did you hear that? That was the sound of us opening another Black Box of red wine - tonight it’s Malbec.  So watch out for us on Mondays because as Ozzy sings: we’ll be “going off the rails on the Crazy Train” at all our favorite little haunts in Austin, Texas (and discovering new ones).
