I've caved and Leeks

So I finished the "Magical Leek Soup" diet/detox. I had a great weekend. I relaxed, cleaned a little bit, watched movies (and the Food network...I don't advise that when only drinking broth and eating leeks), read and generally unwound. I did cave and eat two half sized pretzel rods on Saturday and three on Sunday. Other than that, I was good! The leeks are actually really good warmed up with lemon juice like the author suggests. I lost a few pounds (about 3) and feel energized and ready to get back into the gym. I didn't go this weekend because I didn't think passing out on the elliptical from hunger was a great idea. The soup thing is more about relaxing and reflecting than smacking one's head. Mireille suggests that the reader do this detox once a quarter. I plan to do it again after Thanksgiving. I've also developed an affinity for leeks and plan to make more dishes that include them. French Women For All Seasons provides several recipes.

Back to the "I've caved" portion of this post's title. I've caved and I'm currently listening to this in my car:

I said I'd never do it, but I am. I've also considered begging my boss to order this poster:

The only hiccup in my plan is that the Twilight series is a "teen" series and I work in the Children's department. I just want to stare at that hottie from Gryffindor house Robert Pattinson all day. Sue me.
