I know I shouldn't have but I got on the scale and I'm up another half pound. Fucker.

I'm kicking around the idea of getting a Polar M400 activity monitor. My goddess, Melty, has one. She knows me so well. I asked if she thought I should buy it and she said something like, "You will obsess about it and it will piss you off." And then pretty much, "Yes, you should get it." It's a good price on Amazon and mother fucker, I deserve it. But will it motivate me or piss me off? Both, I am sure.

As usual, I have an excuse for why I'm so messed up today. A last minute 5-hour road trip late yesterday will do that to a person. I didn't have time to prep my lunch for today. Hell, I barely had a chance to brush my hair before leaving for work this morning. So no lunch for me.

Food

Breakfast:

• coffee w/ Splenda & creamer [12]

Lunch: Nothing. Not even the vending machine. Go me!

Dinner:

• chicken & baked potato w/ bacon & cheese [16]

Just under points for the day. But I didn't go to bed hungry.

I did prep my lunch for tomorrow. And dinner, since it's my late night and the boys are having homemade pizza.

Well, I've stuck with this bullshit for two weeks and I'm cranky from not eating enough and not knowing how to fix it. I mean, yeah, eat more, obviously, but it's hard to plan and no one else in my house wants to eat what I want to so fuck me. I still look forward to my workouts though. And I'm thinking ahead to what I'm going to do with the 35 weeks remaining in 2017 after this little experiment is over. Eventually, I want to get into doing Olympic lifts, even though I won't have Oly weights.

I'm irrationally discouraged with the weight loss this week. As in the none! I know I have to be patient. And eat more. And be patient. That's the worst part. I was reading back through my blog and there were long stretches where I only averaged a pound or less a week. That's still enough time to get to my goal weight by the end of the year but I'm tired of being fat. I'll never be small - even at my lowest and fittest a few years ago, I still looked like a linebacker.

Food

Breakfast:

• coffee w/ Splenda & creamer [12]

Lunch:

• banana & cheese [4] - At 6 PM.

Dinner:

• shrimp w/ pasta & butter [15]

I was fucking starving tonight. Still had lots of points to spare this week.

Another day, and I haven't gone off the rails. Last night I struggled a bit. I was hungry after my oatmeal and had points to spare, but didn't feel like editing my blog so I didn't have anything else to eat. I wasn't necessarily hungry - oatmeal is damn filling - but I wanted something. But lazy.

Lunch:

• yogurt [3]

Dinner:

• chicken wings (baked) & sweet potato [15]

Hey, I actually got 30 points today!
