Weight: 231.6 BF%: ???
Initial notes: With sticking to my diet, and avoiding the alcohols, I've finally managed to hit a minimum that I haven't seen since I moved down to Iowa. It's very inspiring. On the note of the alcohols, this is day 4 without having any. I've done that before, but I don't desire it near as strongly as I usually did. The few times that my mind revisits those desires, it is easily squelched by my motivations to get into shape.
On the note of motivations, I gave myself another one. I've committed myself to doing the Tough Mudder on July 18th(?) this year. That means I have 5 and a half months to get into a shape that I can handle keeping up with the group. It's my desire to be able to push them to some limits, but they are lightyears ahead of me. My goal is to not fall behind too much that I'm holding them back too much. Fortunately for myself, I've already begun the progress for at least the running portion: I've been out running the past 4 out of 5 days. I'm going to do the Couch to 5k plan, except running 5 times instead of 3.
The reason I didn't run yesterday was because I made the excuse that I needed to recover, and that I hadn't slept well. Which was true. But that would have only been bad had I not ran today. Which I did. In the cold. Also, day 2 it snowed... and I still went outside. I think that's a good indicator to me that I can keep up with this. Each day seemed a bit easier than the last, so I pushed myself harder toward the end. I just need to get out and do it tomorrow, and I'll have a great start. That'll be 1 week down, 8 more to go.
Diet:
The Usge
790 Steak Bagel
790 Sandwich, Protein Bar, CHEESSSSEEEEE!
420 Soup
TOTALLLLLLLLL.... 2000!
Keeping this crap up isn't too hard. Work is also turning out great. I'm lightyears ahead of where I expected to be by now. I've learned a whole new language... Things are looking pretty sweet. This week just sucks because, in order to get up to MN by Friday, I'm working 10 hours a day M/T/W, so I have very little time awake while at home. I'm worried it's bothering Kayla, but it doesn't seem like it. I've done something with her each night, for at least an hour.

Weight: 232.6 BF%: ???
Notes: I followed my diet to the T yesterday, and here's what came out of it. I became hungry before I reached my lunch and dinner time. To help with dinner, I was hoping to push my lunch back half an hour, since I didn't have much wiggle room there. Then, to take care of lunch, I decided to switch to a bagel sandwich, which was closer to my target of 790 calories. Another idea, which I forgot to bring today, was to bring in some cut up bell peppers to snack on. Something to tide me over another half an hour or so. Although the HC just has me eating 3 meals with no snacks, I don't think this small calorie intake would do much. Also, I could probably just eat them with my previous meal. Like adding it to my lunch. I'll see today.
Diet-
790 Breakfast Bagel Steak/Egg/Cheese/Creamcheese
190 Protein Bar
80 Cheese Stick
520 Sandwich
420 Soup
As for how I'm feeling, I'm doing just fine. My interest in lucid dreaming was sparked again, so I bought another book on my audible. Let's see how it goes!

I'm doing well! Ran 3rd day in a row. I plan on doing 5 days a week of cardio in the morning until I hit week 8. Then, I'll probably switch to twice a week with 3 days of strength training. Other than that, I'm really focusing on my diet and using this Hydroxy Cut to see if it has the same effects that it did when I used it last time.
Weight 234.4 BF%: ???
I have no idea how holding weight works... I had a bad day Saturday, but woke up Sunday at 232.6. I had a good day yesterday, and woke up to 234.4. We'll see how I do tomorrow, with two good days under my belt in a row.
Diet:
Breakfast-
495 - Breakfast wrap (Bacon 2 eggs Sour Cream and Cheese)
180 - 2 Rolls
50? - Jelly and butter
----
725
Lunch -
190 - Protein Bar
80 - Cheese Stick
520 - Sandwhich
----
790
Dinner-
420 - Soup
In total, I should have 1935 calories. With my the Hydroxy Cut, I'm supposed to just eat 3 meals, and no snacks. So I'm trying to eat a large enough breakfast and lunch to tide me over to the next meal. Breakfast this morning barely tided me over to lunch. I was short 65 calories, but still. Tomorrow, I'm going to go for a denser protein, and go for a bagel sandwich. We'll see how we adjust. Also... I'm not sure how jogging will affect my hunger also. I am expending somewhere around 200 calories more per day... So I'll have to adjust as I increase my distance.

Journal:
I was lazy this morning and didn't make my sandwich for my lunch, as I wanted to get out of the house sooner. (Idea to fix this is to make my lunch the night before!) Because of this, I just grabbed my lunchables, which will put me over my expected calories. I'll be fine with this if I walk around the block once, or if I walk the stairs for at least 5 minutes.
Yay! I about hit my goal. Didn't walk, but I found out about 10 stairs = 1 calorie... I walked up at least 100 stairs at work.

This morning has been very tiring. I could not get to sleep. Fortunately, I was able to get one last sleep cycle in when I woke up at 3am to turn the heater back on, as apparently our thermostat likes to reset back to 55 degrees. I'm experiencing hot/cold cycles at night where I'm either way too hot or way too cold. Not sure if this is something mental, or I've got some weird bug. I'll keep watching it.
With eating at six, I'm getting hungry around 11 (5 hours). Since 5 hours would only put me at 4, I'm ginog to try to nibble on my peanuts, hold out until about 12, then eat the rest of my food then. Hopefully, it will bring me close enough to 5 that I can eat a granola bar when I get home.
Ate about half my peanuts (11:10), and a huge gulp of water. Let's see where I'm at in 20-30 minutes.
Post Synopsis:
Eating the peanuts allowed me to hold off eating until about 11:30. Ate the rest of my peanuts and my sandwich slowly around that time while I watched youtube and made chain-mail. It ended up being fine. I at my salami/cheese around 2:00, which tided me over until way after I got home. I didn't eat my protein bar.
Important analysis-The drinking of the alcohol ruined my resolve and instead of my soup that would have kept me in my range, I ate a burrito. My best bet would be to not allow myself to have any drinks before I've consumed all the food I will for the day. This will guarantee that the alcohol is the lowest priority, and just live by the rule that I CAN'T go over my limit.

Morning- Feeling a lot better after talking with Kayla last night and coming up with plans on helping each other become better. I'm feeling a bit tired, but other than that I'm fine. It's 10:21 and I'm not hungry or peckish yet.
At 11:30, I wasn't very hungry but I decided to eat.If I'm getting too hungry in the afternoon still, I can push it back a little. Also, Today, I'm going to eat all of my snacks except my protein bar during lunch, and see if I can just use that protein bar to tide me over until dinner, whenever I get hungry. I can switch them back to snacks later if I'm also getting hungry too early.

Morning-I'm anxious about several things this morning. First, with switching to this diet, I need to make sure I'm not feeling hungry and give into other things. Therefore, I'm going to have to keep notes through the day when I'm feeling hungry so that I can address them in the upcoming days. Secondly, I'm frustrated with the state of the house. We've been here 13 days, but we still haven't unpacked nearly half the boxes. On top of that, I don't want to just unpack the boxes, I want to get rid of everything we don't need, like I've been planning on. This is playing out just like the last two apartments, and it's a terrible feeling. I'm trying not to let this reflect my interactions with Kayla, as a majority of it is my responsibility, and without going through all of my stuff, I can't expect her to find her stuff.
Other than that, work is slow but Ian is taking time out of his day to show me some of the ropes. It seems I won't have a huge role to play until they start handing off software from their contractors to this department.
11:15: Feeling peckish. Before I get actually hungry, I'm going to eat my snack (Peanuts and a cheese stick, smaller because I had a larger lunch). I'm planning on eating my sandwich around 1-2, and seeing if that holds me off until 5:30ish for dinner.
