Playing
Mostly WoW this week and a little big on animal crossing. Nothing amazing to report on either front. I think I want to level my Lock soon but she is very low and it sounds like woooooork. I am at that stage in my WoW playing right now.
Reading
I found the weirdest diet book I had ever seen on Amazon and I totally purchased it. It is called the The Mount Athos Diet: The Mediterranean Plan to Lose Weight, Feel Younger and Live Longer. I have always been fascinated with what people eat and after my stint in Catholic school I needed this book. It’s actually really interesting. The gist is the week is broken up into fasting days, moderation days and a movable feast day. During the three fasting days you cut out all booze, animal products and oil as well as having essentially one meal and 2 snacks throughout the day. The moderation are all Mediterranean Diet days but you can have wine. Feast Days are essentially cheat days – eat whatever. Interesting but concept but I have a hard time with cheat days and do better with a cheat meal.
The book blurb from Amazon:
For centuries, the monks of Mount Athos have enjoyed long lives, healthy bodies, and calm minds thanks to their unique diet and lifestyle. Now you too can discover the secrets of good nutrition from this ancient community in a remarkable new diet book. With this plan, you’ll follow the intermittent diet that keeps the monks slim, youthful, and largely free from disease. The diet is made up of three easy-to-follow patterns throughout the week: three fasting days full of delicious fruits and vegetables from nature’s larder; three moderation days to enjoy the best of the Mediterranean, including olive oil, fish, and even red wine; and one feast day to completely indulge in whichever foods you like. With a simple diet plan, recipes, menu planners, and tips on how to adapt the diet, plus guidance on exercise, meditation, and emotional wellbeing, this book promises to transform your body and mind to help you lose weight, feel fitter, and live longer. Recipes include dual measurements.

Kale chips – mountains of kale chips! I usually just turn on the broiler and come back in 2 minutes – this way takes longer but I am going to try it out tonight to see if we like it more.
Wanting
A nap or to not have stayed up so late last night! I am so tired today!

Ahh man this stuff! I had it shipped form London – WORTH IT. It tastes like those delicious melt-away mints only it’s a tea. It’s amazing and I love it! One of my favorite teas I have ever had!
