Ok folks, if theres anyone out there, if you believe strongly in what I am doing or even care the tiniest bit, I am sorry, but tonight I forsake my journey for my love of tech. I am entering my colleges pie eating contest tonight, which will put me well above the 1000 calorie mark as it will likely be a very fattening pie and quite a long contest. Most likely this will be in vain because my stomach has shrunk so much that when I ate a small salad today (the first time I've sat down to eat since starting this) i almost threw up, and really I only needed to eat half of it to be full. If i can't eat a small salad, then who's to say I'll win a pie eating contest that is likely quantity over time? Anyway, I will be back to calorie counting tomorrow since it would be pointless to post an obvious failure. But wish me luck that this regressive endeavor not be in vain. Thanks and I'll post about my worthless failures tomorrow.

All right, so I just cranked out 150 situps, sat around for a little bit sweating before coming and posting. I feel like I've accomplished a little bit.

Ok, so today I started to feel the first of the hunger pangs that accompany what I am doing. Luckily when they came, I had not reached the cap for my calorie intake for the day. I am still below my 500 for the day. Today I started the day off with an apple (50 cal). Then I got back from my classes and was feeling quite hungry, so I had the other half of that chicken strip from yesterday (another 105). I felt a little hungry later on when the chicken strip ran out, so I cooked up a little cup of ramen noodles and only ate half of it then and half of it when I got hungry as dinnertime rolled around. That cup of ramen was 210 for dinner and lunch which totals at 365. then, in a moment of indulgence, I opened my can of lean turkey spam and ate a half a serving which is about as big as your thumb, and that was 40 calories capping me off at 405. I feel this is a good time to tell you that I am going into this lifestyle cold turkey from averaging 4000-5000+ a day. I have dropped to a tenth of my caloric intake. I plan to do some sit-ups or push-ups here in a minute, I might post again in regards to whether or not I actually did them.

Very glad to say that today, I held to my goal a lot better. I didn't eat anything until noon, at which I ate an apple and half a chicken strip. Totaled up, that comes to 155 calories. I also ate a few airheads again after lunch passed and I was in class. This came to 180, which would put me at 335 calories total so far. I just ate 2 more apples before posting this, which comes to about 105 ish calories, topping me off at 440 calories for the day. A massive 60 calories under 500, which meets my ideal goal. I can rest easily tonight knowing that I might just succeed in my endeavors.

Why can't I control myself?

Ok, so today, i showed decent self control, but this is definitely going to be a learning process. i have a fitness test tomorrow that I don't want to do bad on, so I didn't do the sit-ups i wanted to do today. I did control what I ate better today. I had a few airheads to start off the day with, 3 of those = a whopping 180 calories. Then at lunch, I had just a taco bell soft taco at a massive 210 which put me at 390 calories. Doing good so far with the  calorie counting, but my biggest challenge was yet to come. Work. At work, I had convinced myself that I was not going to eat anything and top off my day with another soft taco which would have put me at 600 even for the day, not bad. But my supervisor had other plans. She told me that I HAD to eat, or she would keep me late. I ordered a club sandwich wrap. I thought about a salad, but I don't like romaine lettuce, so I was just gonna take a few bites and then throw it away. Welllll, and I feel extremely guilty for admitting it, but I ate the whole thing; a fattening 510 calories which put me at 900 calories. Not 1000, but not what I had planned. tomorrow, I am going to do sit=ups, jumping jacks, and push-ups till I puke. Again, wish me luck and ill post tomorrows escapades tomorrow night.

Ok, so starting tomorrow, I just hope this doesn't turn into the procrastination blog. Especially since I work in a  food establishment that has delicious food.

Today, I realized I am fat. This is probably on account of the dreaded Freshman 15. Ha! More like 35. I have been eating entirely too much, and have decided to cut down from probably about 3-4000 calories a day to 500 or less but never more than 1000. Today is the start of a long journey to get back to where I once was and hopefully below. This shall be the record of that journey, and really, it will be more of a journal of sorts. It shall be where I come to post my self hating thoughts and what I've done to lose today. Wish me luck.
