'Eating Plan' vs. 'Dieting'

Okay, folks, the correct answer to our Fire Exam question in the last post is "C".  If you got it right, well, congratulations to you.  If you get 3 right in a row, that's called a "streak."  If you got it wrong - don't sweat it, it's early in the game. 

You know what's strange about being on an "eating plan"?  I'll tell you.  I forget that I'm not DIETING.  You know how it is, right?  You decide to lose some weight, so you restrict certain foods from your diet (like, oh, everything that tastes good) and you lose weight.  However, as a Siren Sex Goddess/Firefighter in Training, I'm not actually TRYING to lose weight.  I'm just modifying my eating to maximize my health and turn myself into an super-charged Fire Wench.  I forget that I can actually eat a Mazda full of spinach or any other 'qualifying food' if I so choose...such is the life of an American woman.  It's all about the DIET.

Okay, so I'm not saying that dropping 10 pounds or so would be tragic.  I'm not exactly an Ethopian marathon runner.   But it's not like I have to shop in special stores or something.  And I could give you a rather short, yet prestigious, list of men who think I'm pretty rockin' hot.

Where are we going with this? HMMMMM...good question.  Suffice it to say that my mind is conflicted as to exactly what my mouth is trying to do with this whole plant-eating thing.

So, get this - this Friday TG and I are going to the Muppet movie, and I'm so excited, I can hardly wait.  Is it Friday yet?  How about now?  How about now?
