Day 33.

It is hard to stay on a healthy eating track when there are so many delicious foods out there that aren't good for you. And when it is given to you for free. I can kill some free pizza. Like seriously. If pizza was people, I would be in jail. For one million consecutive life sentences.

My News Writing class visited a restaurant in Youngstown called Joe's Restaurant to learn about the history of Brier Hill. It was interesting and there was free pizza. Probably the best News Writing class that I've had all semester. Because I hate that class. A lot.

But I killed some pizza.

Then I hit the Hell Machine for 40 minutes and did some weights. Rowing, Flying, a weird back press thingy to work out my lower back and then the ab isolator. I finished on a tricep extension machine that was TOUGH. The tricep is not something I use on a regular basis, apparently. Gonna keep working it, though.

I think that this blog needs to have some kind of a shelf life. My goal is 365 days. One year of working days. That is the end date for this blog and the measure of my success. If 365 days from now I still weigh 270 pounds then I will have failed (unless I am ripped like WHOA). But if I weigh in at less than 225 then I will consider it a success, obviously.

At the very least I will be more aware of my body, the way I treat it and the things that I put into it. Which is another victory. So. We'll see how this thing goes.

I've got a small health care thing I want to talk about, but I'm going to save it for tomorrow, I think.

Breakfast:
2 servings of Special K Granola with blueberry yogurt
2 pieces of white toast with apple butter

First Lunch:
5 pieces of pizza (it was the square cut, not the pie cut, so they were small pieces)

Snack:
Fiber One bar

Second Lunch:
1/2 a carrot
1/2 a pear
Turkey pastrami sandwich with provolone cheese and mustard

Dinner:
An apple
One serving of Special K granola with Vanilla Yogurt

We also discovered that we didn't buy Light yogurt. The difference in the sugars alone is enough to make me cringe.

See you tomorrow!

  3. 365 days of Jay sounds good. Hopefully, it leads to a lifetime of health. Free pizza is the yum.
