Back to days, more dieting and UFC
April 30th, 2008 by DaveI’m off the midnight shift for the rest of the week, as usual.
Since I work one day shift a week on Wednesdays, I have one of the most eclectic jobs in the newsroom.
One day it’s a traffic story, another day it’s about saving a dog, and today it was all about the Hawaiian Kingdom Government taking over the Iolani Palace grounds.
I don’t get into sides on these issues, but I appreciate the passion and beliefs that people stand up for. It ended peacefully, which was probably the best news of all.

Diet update: I (heart) Country Cafe is great for dieters. Brown rice, greens and furikake salmon or mahi. I need to be more Cat-like and start taking photos of these dishes.
After the long stand off today my big meal was at Karen’s Kitchen — brown rice, salad and mahi. Of all the great food over there I think this may have been the healthiest choice, and to me that’s an A-plus of a baby step.
Exercise-wise, played a little basketball after work yesterday, biked and did 35 minutes on the illiptical machine.
Bottom line, I know weight loss is slow but I’m tackling this about as head-on as you can.
I know “patience is a virtue” and “good things come to those who wait,” but if I were to gain weight after all this I’d make up my own fortune cookie and it would read something like this: “Eat what you will, because sometimes, you’re just screwed.”

Spike’s Ultimate Fighter is on tonight. I think it’s the best of the reality shows, next to the Deadliest Catch, of course.
Having Rampage Jackson and Forrest Griffin as the coaches was a stroke of genius by Dana White. It’s the best matchup of coaches since Randy Couture and Chuck Liddle in the show’s first season.
I’m a Rampage fan. You? Feel free to vent your UFC thoughts here, because I love this sport.

Rampage, admittedly, has seemed to have cleaned himself up since he allegedly found Jesus, but when he was fighting in PRIDE, he was a punk. I’ve seen youtube videos of him basically sexually assaulting a female reporter (groping her and placing her in sexual positions fully clothed) and walking around a Japanese store making fun of the employees and saying how big his “third leg” was. I’m glad Sakuraba tapped him out when they fought.
I like Forrest, he reminds me of a MMA Fred Flinstone. Forrest Griffin, for the win!

I (heart) Country Cafe is pretty awesome. I think that was the first place I ever ate at that served brown rice.

Rampage!! That guy cracks me up. I like Forrest too, he’s a good guy and an exciting fighter, but I always find myself cheering for Rampage’s fighters. Too bad they’ve all lost!
