I didn't start yesterday. It was such a hectic day and I ended up just... ugh. I don't know. Crashing. So that's where MY damage was done. So here's today...

Breakfast: 2 egg and ham tacos (small)
Lunch: 1 oz. of Bugles, 1 bean taco (small), 1 potato and egg taco (small)
Dinner: 4 small slices of pepperoni pizza (bad, I know)
Exercise: DDR (not so much)

Looking back at my goals, looks like I won't be able to do the walking because Andrew won't go walking with me and I really don't want to go walking alone. =/

My friend Rudy and I are going to go jogging 3 times a week. He's going to invite me on the days he is going to jog.

I promise TOMORROW will be a phenomenal day.

The Stats

• Starting Weight: 245 pounds
• Goal Weight: 145 pounds
• Pant size: 38 (tight) - 40
• Goal size: 32- 34

• Completely eliminate beverages other than water from my regular diet.
• Walk to and from school as weather permits.
• Keep my caloric intake at or under 1,800 calories.

• Do an aerobic exercise at least 3 times per week.
• Do an anaerobic exercise at least 2 times per week.

I'm having one, too. With new goals and such. Tomorrow.

I went out today, my first test of going-out while on a diet! D:

Late lunch: 1/2 cup clam chowder, 1 cup rice, more spinach
Snack: small popcorn at the movie theater
Dinner:  1 dbl cheese burger, small fries, diet coke, 5 chicken mcnuggets
Even later dinner: mom's beafstik, 1/4 cup rice

Exercise: DDR

I don't think I want to eat that much in McDonald's ever again. =/

I know we already know most of these, but this is just for me so that I can see it all. I emphasized some of the good ones.

• Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Drinking eight glasses of water is almost like a must. And do not forget to drink water in the morning, the moment you wake up. In fact this is one of the most rapid weight loss tips that the dieticians suggest to the people.
• Have organic foods for the breakfast like apples, bananas, plain yogurt, tomatoes, carrots, peppers, raw honey, wild smoked salmon, and so on.
• Keeping a track on the watch, go for an hour walk. It need not be power walking, but definitely it should be non-stop walk and that’s for sure, in a couple of days only, you’ll start finding the difference in you.
• Another tip regarding how to lose weight fast, easy and safe is that you should have your dinner about 4-5 hours before going off to sleep.
• The two-point program that will ensure the ultimate success is: regular exercise and balanced diet.
• Don’t depend upon fat burning diet supplements. They wont go a long way in helping you sustain your reduced kilos.
• Soft drinks cannot benefit you in any way. They contain 150 empty calories, so if you substitute one bottle of soft drink with water each day, it will do wonders for you. It will enable you to lose about 16 lbs per year.
• Sometimes boredom becomes a cause of overeating, so keep yourself busy.
• If you want to seriously control your weight, then you have to stop yourself from getting lured into trying tempting foods.
• As important is to pay attention to the fact that we eat the right food, equally vital is to keep a watch on the quantity. Without altering your diet plan, even if you’ll reduce 5-10% of your consumption, it will prove beneficial.
• Eat slowly so that you can get a feeling that you have had enough food and your tummy is full. Eat slowly and fully relish the taste.

SO I ate a really small breakfast. It was like MICROSCOPIC. So I was so hungry for lunch that I ate a lot during lunch. Dinner I didn't eat so much. Overall, a good day, but I didn't exercise but I have an idea for that tomorrow. So today's report...

Breakfast (school): 1 piece of toast with cinnamon and a little bit of butter, orange juice (8 fl oz)
Lunch (school): 6 beef tacos (corn tortilla shells, greasy meat), 1/2 cup diced tomatoes, 1/2 cup chopped lettuce, half a small pear, half a peach, 1/4 cup baked pinto beans, 1/4 cup Spanic rice
Snack: 1 cookie, some doritos
Dinner: 1 cup of rice, a whole bunch of spinach, 1 cup of clam chowder

So I'm going to give myself a new goal for next week.

Do NOT eat any chips, drink any soda, or eat cookies next week.

Tomorrow, I'm going to work on updating my music library on my computer. I decided I could get in some exercise while I do that! Every time I download a song I will play a song on DDR. That way, my mind won't be worried about how much DDR I'm doing, and I won't be so tired since I'll be resting in between songs.

Hopefully that plan happens. lol If not, I'll just play a long session of DDR and add in some body exercise. :x

Good job today, I guess. Just didn't exercise...

Ok ok ok I'm a baaad boy. I did bad today. Really bad. :( But I looked at some pictures of myself when I was skinny to make me motivated. Maaan I miss looking good. Today I ate a lot because my stomach was killing me, but I found out that it was a side-effect from the pain killers I'm taking for my gums. I guess I'll have to cut down on one of the pills.

Breakfast (school): a un-buttered biscuit, half a peach, 2 small sausage patties
Lunch (school): half a cup of toss-salad, chicken burger, 8 tator tots
Snack (tummy owwww): cheetos :x, 4 cookies, diet orange soda (oh no!!!)
Dinner: half a cup of rice, not-so-greasy picadillo

So this is mainly what this journal is for, right? To realize how bad you did and do better tomorrow.

I didn't find the time to play DDR today. OMG I MUST GET SKINNY.

Think skinnyyyy. REMEMBER HOW GOOD YOU FELT, OK BRIAN???
