Day 5

It seems like today was a reversal of the previous four. The current theme has been that the eating less and healthier has been easy, while the exercise (mostly jumps) has been more challenging. Today, I managed to bang out the exercise the more efficiently than I have so far. While the diet... well, that's something else.

I had work today. It's not a real job, just one of those sinkholes that you sit in before you go to college or if you're not going anywhere with your life. A bag boy at a grocery store. They don't give you lunch, so my work day (which I've managed to reduce down to two times a week. That place kills my will to do anything like you would not believe) starts out with me eating breakfast, then for my fifteen minute break three hours later, I eat a bagel, a chocolate candy bar, and some water. I feel this combination keeps me up long enough to get through the next three hours, where it is not three o'clock and I usually eat some sort of lunch at that time.

For some reason today, something just went wrong. I suppose I probably should have eaten right when I got home, but I opted out for doing the exercises first. My reasoning being that if I sat down to eat my legs would then rest, losing their momentum and making it harder to work out. So, I scramble to try and get some food, and remember we had pizza last night.

Big mistake

I shoved it in the heater oven, set the timer, and forgot about it. Ten minutes later, I went and got it, and then realized that maybe pizza might not be the best choice. I seem to remember something about cutting down my oil intake - and that's something I've actually been doing for a little while even before the PCP. Though, it's not like I can eat healthful foods for a few weeks and then be ok when I eat some crap. Quite the opposite in fact. When I finished it, I kind felt worse than if I had just stayed hungry and made something worth while.

So, that was my friday. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

  1. Not sure if oil per se is the devil, as some oils (i.e. olive) are low in saturated fat, and high in the healthier fats (i.e. mono and polyunsaturates), and an easy way to up your calorie intake. A particularly high-fat meal however, can make for an unhappy digestive system.

  2. Bagboy? Dude, I feel for you. You'll need to pack your snacks in a few days when we really get started. My diet always goes to crap too when I'm eating on someone else's schedule. All the more reason to say goodbye to those dead end jobs as soon as possible.
