Firstly, the previously mentioned Green Coffee Bean Diet has surpassed the thirty-three-day mark, as August is now in progress. The miracle concoction has melted away twelve pounds (5.4 kg) of ugly lard mostly from around my midsection. My goal for a twenty-pound loss is within reach, but will take another month of suffering and readjustment while taking these dad-burned, fat-burning tablets; not to mention drinking a couple of 20-oz. cups of green tea daily, downing two liters of water; or the aerobic exercise which consists mostly of walking.
To celebrate, I broke down yesterday and had a mouthwatering, fast-food cheeseburger for lunch with a bottle of purified water—subject matter for yet a future tirade—and oh, did it taste so damned good, as if my totally aroused taste buds became utterly orgasmic and exploded sensually with pure, Epicurean pleasure. Not a problem though; the excess, decadent calories dissolved satisfactorily with a two-mile hike in the woods. Now I remember how I got these annoying mosquito bites that are driving me crazy.
This regimen is by no means easy, but the results are keeping me faithful to it. Another month’s supply of green-coffee-bean extract sits on the kitchen counter. Please, wish me continued good luck.
Secondly, my science project in the refrigerator seems to have achieved suspended animation. See for yourself: no difference from last time. The fresh tomato appears in the scene purely for aesthetics.
