six Kashi TLC fruit and grain bars: 720
box of strawberries: 150
Total: 870 calories
Gym time: 2 hours, swimming.
I. Am. Exhausted. But I have to think about the goal--looking fantastic in Aruba--and I need to keep going! Just two weeks until the final countdown!
I really hope today and the 3.5 hour of gym time is enough atonement for yesterday's weird binge. Hopefully, the weekend will fare better, and I won't have to resort to drastic live-in-the-gym moments anymore.
My week has been dragging and filled with mishaps. Perhaps next week will be more uplifting.

YESTERDAY:
I started out well enough. I had rice and vegetables, and watermelon afterwards. I think I have a bad habit of eating it all in one sitting and thinking I won't be hungry later on. In my case, I seem to want to graze every three or four hours. That means I need to split up my breakfast, a la don't eat so heavily in the morning and increase what I eat later on.
See, what ended up happening was that I got really antsy and went to the local Starbucks to eat a quiche and peanut butter cookie. And as if that wasn't bad enough, I topped it off with an Oreo cheesecake from a nearby pastry place. IDK why I keep going back there, because I don't like it. I think all of their food is dry and generally not as tasty. Maybe it's because I'm not used to such an incredibly large amount of dairy products being passed through my body that day, but I literally felt sick after the cheesecake.
Then a huge wave of guilt hit me, and I ended up going to the gym for 3.5 hours. Ran for 30 minutes, walked for 30 minutes, did the Stairmaster for 24 minutes, did crunches and lifted weights for another 15 minutes, and then went swimming for 1 hour and 45 minutes. I must have burned at least 1400 calories... or 1600? IDK. So hopefully that lowered the damage.
We'll see how today goes.

rice vegetable - 840
half a watermelon - 677.5
Total: 1517.5 calories
Gym time: 1 hour
NOOOOOO OVER MY CALORIE LIMIT OVER MY CALORIE LIMIT
On my bright side: I was full all day, and I stayed far away from chocolate. I need to calm down because I'm going to have to pee the watermelon out anyway. And as for the rice-vegetable thing? It was fantastic. I just wish it didn't taste like soap.
Ugh, I'm in a bad mood now. I'm going to hole myself up in my room and do my orgo lab report now.

three chocolate bars - 330
three boxes of strawberries - 450
candy at MCAT - 230
salad thing - 265
Total - 1275 calories
Gym time - 1 hour
IDK how I feel about the two pounds of strawberries being 300 calories. I read differing opinions, from 150 to 250. If it's the former, then it's 860 calories. If it's the latter, then it's 1060. Either way, there is way too much refined sugar in my diet. I thought I could handle some chocolate, but it turns out I am unable to help myself. On the bright side, I was not too hungry today. IDGI. Stupid metabolism. Either way, going to the gym felt great. I wasn't going to go originally because it was raining, and I get really tired, but my super skinny friend called me and told me about how she got toned and fit, and I was like, "GOTTA GO."
She's such a great motivation. :)
I plan to keep this up (sans the sugar) for the rest of the week. Let's see how this goes!
Tomorrow morning: gym. And then gym again. COME ON, I CAN DO THIS.

MOAR CHOCOLATE - 100
Total - 1155 calories.
No gym time, though. :( Must get started on that. I would like to take the time to tell Mrs. Somers off for saying I can never have anything with sugar or honey in it. It slays me, it really does.

Ate so much crap today, but it's forgiven on the basis of three things:
1. I went to the gym for an hour with Steven.
2. I LOST THREE POUNDS THIS WEEK.
3. I got an A in anthropology AND orgo lab!
This has been a really good day. I'm going to allow myself to eat sh!t. Tomorrow, I will resume my diet. I'm also going to the library to REALLY study for the MCAT. Forrealz.
