Going no-rice
During the Lenten season, a few of my Catholic friends observed some forms of abstinence. Ria successfully kept herself from using mobile internet during the whole Lent (is that 40 days?). It gave her a great sense of fulfillment that she wanted to do another challenge.
It kinda inspired me too, that I blurted out in one of our Facebook threads: I’m doing no rice for 30 days in May!
It’s now May 3… And yes, Day 3 with no rice!
Instead of rice, I’d eat fresh fruit and a huge serving of salad greens to go with the main dish.
This is like doing the South Beach Diet… Only I still get to eat carbs from fruits, veggies, wheat bread and other sources. I’m avoiding white breads and pasta as well. I’d like to say I won’t have any cakes and pastries… But… those aren’t rice!?? 
I’ll keep portion control in mind, lest all my rice-less efforts go to waste.
Other than feeling a bit hungry at night, I’d say I’m doing well. I can do this!
[...] things first: diet. I am doing away with rice for the whole month of May. It’s my fourth day today, and so far so [...]
You can do it!
yahoooooo you can do it dear!!!!
You can do it! I am amazed at your will power! I don’t think I can last a day without rice…
