Week 2 Day 6 - Saturday, April 24, 2010
LONG DAY!!! Started with IMPROV 4 KIDS (www.improv4kids.com) road trip to the Bickford Theater, Morris Museum, Morristown NJ. Two afternoon shows. Before the shows I had a number of high bad-carb items. Between shows I had Sandwiches and cookie. After shows I had two slices of GREAT pizza before fun show at LMAO (www.lmao-nyc.com)
Hit HORRIBLE traffic at GWB today. AT least 1 hour delay coming back. Added delay by some bone head choices on my part. I thought Laurice was going to throw my in the river.
Today’s Consumption Summary
BREAKFAST 1– Pistachio Muffin & two coffees from Gristedes
Breakfast two at Panera – Egg Soufflé and more coffee
Lunch Between NJ shows – two ranch roll sandwiches – urkey & Cranberry, Ham and Brie, plus Amazing Choc Chip Cookie – 2 Snapple teas
Two Slices Pizza from PATZaria.
My one saving grace... I am committed to going to bed now without anything else to eat. This means no matter how bad the food intake was today, the last consumed pizza went down before 6:30pm.
OR THAT WAS THE PLAN....
After show at home, I really wanted to go to bed with out more food, but I was so hungry. Or at least my mind said I was. I heated up Fresh Direct Turkey Chili, added some Cheddar and sun chips. Not so bad I guess.

LMAO THE DIET – FULL RECOVERY
Week 2 Day 5 - Friday, April 23, 2010
Yesterday was the toughest diet day yet. I really regressed to old habits. Today I turned that around.
Laurice and I saw David Duckovknee’s (SP?) and Demi Moore’s THE JONESES. Expecting to sleep my way through, it held my attention. Gary Cole made the movie though with his portrayal of Upper Middle Class man spending beyond his limits and suffering the ultimate sacrifice. Sorry that when I first recounted the performance, I attributed Gary Coleman. (Short Note, Gary Cole was the guest for Jimini Glick when Laurice and I saw Martin Short's Broadway show - Who I also loved on Damages This Season - I digress....)
The show tonight was AWESOME!!! – Shout out to Belgium. A great mix of families and adult groups both loved performance. Charles, Erin, Laurice, and Spero joined me in a flirting on the edge but still maintaining a clean enough show. We never cursed but many double entendre graced the stage. As a genie I conjured up Erin to Handle Charles' Meat. In the same scene I said the meat handler was Chelsea's brother. Happy that one couple knew what i was saying. Chew on that CHEWIE. (SP?) We did video this one so hopefully we will get that up ASAP. www.lmao-nyc.com
Today’s Consumption Summary
BREAKFAST – Smart Start Cereal with skim Milk and Coffee-black
Lunch at Charlie O’s on Broadway at 49th
Pre-Fixe Menu included for me
Lentil Soup – Barely touched it
Salmon Putanesca with roasted potato and spinach
Cheese Cake
Diet Coke and Coffee
PS The Lunch Pre fixe is actually a good Deal. Four entrée choices with soup and dessert for $15.95. Most og their entrees run $20+
At the movie and while promoting – just more diet coke, coffee etc.
After the show, I made a bowl of Turkey Chili – low fat from FRESH DIRECT. Added a small bag of Doritos and some Horseradish NY Aged Cheddar. Tons of flavors and not to bad on the fat or calories. MAYBE 600 calories at the most.
Long story short – I AM BACK ON TRACK AND LOOSING!!!!

Week 2 Day 4 - Thursday, April 22, 2010
LONG DAY – I had a bad day – diet wise. A little behind – busy week, lack of Internet access and personal diet disappointment has led to the delay in this blog.
The day was a huge success for IMPROV 4 KIDS (www.improv4kids.com) with two shows and two workshops at Port Washington School - another cast performed at the Morgan Stanley Children Hospital in Washington Heights.
Got to drive around the harbor area – LOVE Port Washington!!!
Today’s Consumption Summary
Before workshops – around noonish
Coffee and Golden Grahams Snack Bar 280 cal
After workshops/before shows - Chili’s in Westbury
Chicken Chili Soup 190 calories
Mini Tacos 800 calories – really good smoked pork and crispy chicken (I wanted the smoked chicken but oh well)
½ of 4 dessert shooters – the old me cam out ordering these for “THE TABLE” really I wanted the sweetness buffet
Coffee & Diet Coke & Water
Got Home – Starting with left over (1/3 rack) FRESH DIRECT BBQ Ribs, I gorged further 2 pepperoni pizza lean pockets, topped with olive oil and Parmesan and spices. The Parmesan was fresh from the deli and wonderfully zesty. So in order to have more I ripped up whole wheat pita, poured on a little mesquite BBQ and sprinkled on – make than scooped out a lot of – Parmesan on top. Not good at any time of the day but especially midnight!!!

LMAO THE DIET – Snickers for Breakfast?
Week 2 Day 1 - Monday, April 19, 2010
OK Not a great start, right? However, that snickers, the first food of the day at 11:30am, filled me up till after rehearsal at 3pm. Still not really hungry, I went out and flyered TKTS lines for tonight's show. Not until 4pmish did I grab Salad from Famous Dave's. Not a great diet Salad at 1200 calories. But that filled me up until after show. Went home and had left over Buffalo Salad from Bar Coastal. I added Fritos and Turkey Chili. Before bed I had a large skim milk.
Hats off to Leslie Jordan and the entire production crew on a huge opening. Outside they had a star studded PINK carpet photo op with paparazzi snatching photos of Lily Tomlin, Bette Middler and Cynthia Nixon to name a few.
Today’s Consumption Summary
Late Breakfast – Snickers Bar & Coffee
Lunch- SALAD – actually writing this prior to eating to make sure I make the better choice at Lunch today – 4 hours later... OK Not the salad I had in mind but still a salad….
FAMOUS DAVE'S on 47th at 7th Ave
Chopped Pork over green salad – very good served with corn bread. I topped it with some Devil’s Spit
Dinner
After show – Left over Buffalo chicken Salad from BAR COASTAL. Add on some turkey chili, BBQ and fritos
Milk
