Off-topic Desperation

Weight: 178.8 (-1)

Food log: BF - A bowl of Oatmeal, Lunch - A bitchin’ salad and a cup of coffee, No dinner

Sides: Quickened heart rate and slight sweats during the day, nothing uncomfortable. Also, slight nausea right after taking my first bite of oatmeal but it quickly subsided.

Today had a slow beginning with me trying to sleep in for as long as I could, embracing the time-freeing perks of my first Spring Break experience. Exciting. I have no idea if being a sleep for almost 12 hours is a symptom of lethargy or just laziness today.

The avoidance of carbs was fairly easy but mostly because I kept active throughout the day cleaning and walking around while listening to a recording of Art Bell’s Ghost to Ghost AM (2001). I also might do a midnight workout in a bit here seeing as I’ll be up for most of the night and in preparation for a hike in a couple of days.

I’m taking DNP to lose weight. Posting this somewhere for the world to see will in a way help me remain accountable... I hope. This blog will basically substitute a diary. I will update at the end of each day with my weight, food log, and side effects. My goal here is to get down from my current 179.8 lbs to 140 lbs (ultimately) but if at any point I feel satisfied with the results before I hit 140 lbs, I will then begin to build muscle. To be honest, at this point, after years of unhealthy habits and fluctuating numbers, I am doing it for me. To rid myself of my largest insecurity: my weight. This is actually my second run. The first was just over a week ago and was a complete fail due to a medical emergency that had me on bed rest for a week and with stitches.  Anyway, here goes.  Day 2/21

Weight: 179.8 lbs

Meals: Chicken noodle soup, bowl of oatmeal

Sides: Aside from slight fatigue, none others. My goal this week will be carb depletion and routine formation. Setting habits and sticking to them for the rest of the run.
