Musing for 7/16/14

I wrote about being a vegetarian.  How about if I were to go on another type of diet like Raw Food or South Beach?  I don't like to idea of cutting out foods, though I should.  I don't always eat the right types of foods to lose weight.  I have busted out of a favorite pair of jeans lately and I would like to try them on.  I gained 4 lbs in the past week and my hope is that it is water weight gain or even muscle gain.  I hope this is the case considering all that I have eaten in the past few days.  I feel like calorie-wise, I hit my stride, but in terms of nutrition, I hit a snag.
