wow, it is everywhere

so the last two days john and i have been in napa with our friends karen and jill. karen was running the napa half marathon and we were her cheer squad. this meant, hotel dining, poolside dining, meals at restaurants. and wow did i discover of course that all of the foods i am not eating are every where. of course as a vegetarian i already can rule out a good portion of any menu. but now add the 100 day experiment of not eating bread, rice, pasta and white sugar foods. well you have pretty much knocked out the remaining portion of both menus. all of us laughed at dinner last night when the server brought the break basket over at the start of the meal as he of course put basically on my plate. and then this morning when i asked for scrambled eggs with no toast on the side. well i wasn't served toast but my friend's english muffin was on my plate. we also went to a great market in napa called the oxbow market. one word awesome but for until my 10o days are up. not a place for me. i could pretty much rule out 75 percent of all the business there as falling in to one of my off limit food items. i am slowly beginning to understand the struggles that many must have that attempt any type of restrictive diet. i am learning quickly that if i am to be successful at this i have to have an ample supply on hand of all the foods i do eat. this is going to be interesting. i could very well stop but for now i am plugging on. heck, i don't even thing i have made it through a full week yet. we shall see.
