Yo ho, yo ho, a spartan's life for me

If there's anything to learn from separation, is nutrition. I've lost 20 pounds in the last 3 months. What's my diet you ask? It's not a diet, but more a lifestyle, for the purists in all of us. It's the lifestyle of a spartan.

The spartan lifestyle is not to be taken lightly folks. Here's a sample of my daily spartan diet, for the day.

Breakfast
2-4 cups of earl grey creme tea
1 small bag of famous amos cookies

Lunch
Apple, banana, or orange
Plain oatmeal

Early afternoon
Apple, banana, or orange
Granola bar

Dinner
Whatever leftovers that reside in the fridge

That's it. The most recent substitution as of this morning was yogurt and trail mix in lieu of the cookies. I also added craisins to sweeten up the oatmeal, and ditched the fruit for now. Also added a Fiber One bar for that extra kick after lunch.

20 pounds down an maintaining folks. That's the spartan way.

By the way, I have to give credit to my spartan lifestyle coach/guru, Steve, for developing and adhering to the ways of the spartan. He's very much the Michael Landon, from Highway to Heaven. When he walks he cuts a swath, deep into the soul.
