Meat Week - day 5 recap? Not gonna happen

Since this'll be the last post on the subject, it goes above the jump. I cracked. I skipped breakfast because I couldn't eat at the time. By lunch time I was ready to throw in the towel on the experiment, and grabbed myself a chicken pesto grinder.

Can I survive on just meat?
Probably, at least for a while.

Is it any fun?
No. It is categorically not fun. Not after the first day, anyhow.

Any other lessons learned?
Pleasure from eating is important. I'm not a hedonist in any other way, but I really love food, and denying myself that pleasure -- while possible in the short term -- makes life immediately feel less worth living. Many people effortlessly stay thin and fit throughout life. I'm not one of them, and it's easy to feel jealous of that trait. I just have to recognize that, and put in the effort. I can't stay out of shape forever, and waiting for the cure for exercise and crappy diet is a fool's gamble.

Yes, I'm aware there's nothing profound here, and nothing you can't find whined about on any number of personal blogs. Unless asked about it, this is the last I'll speak of it. On the other hand, next time I have a stupid idea, I can look at this, remember, and maybe skip it.
