Sound fun, right? I'm going to do everything I can to follow this with one possible exception. Eggs. I always react well to eggs. If i'm feeling tired or funky, a couple fried eggs perk me right up. They're one of the few foods i'm certain I don't react negatively to. I'm going to try to avoid them but if i'm stuck at work without food or if I crack- they will be my fall back. I'd rather eat a couple of eggs once or twice to get through than lose heart completely.

So that's it. See you in the new year!
