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.

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.

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.

box of strawberries - 213
bits and pieces of things at Whole Foods Market - 70
chocolate chip cookie - 160
peanut butter cookie - 130
total: 573 calories
I walked to and from school, too! IDK if this is right, because the two cookies I got from Whole Foods were HUGE. I'm thinking the chocolate chip cookie has to be at least 360, and the peanut butter one 400, so my personal guestimate would be 1043 calories. I'd rather overestimate rather than underestimate fo sho. I was really mad I passed the bakery; I could have eaten a LOT of chicken for that many calories in return. Whyy do I always go crazy whenever I see baked goods? Why do I always think of instant gratification rather than long-term success?
I didn't make it to the gym today, either. I knew it. If I don't go early in the afternoon, then I lose all motivation to go at all. But no fear! Steven and I are planning a gym date tomorrow morning, so I cannot wait to run and elliptical and do crunches and throw weights around! I'm gonna be firm before Arrrruba.
I tried to make a vegan, no-bake brownie for my friend's birthday. Suffice to say, I need to throw it out. There goes $13 down the drain. HDU waste my money, Internet vegans.

TUESDAY:
Did well, until Dee-ahn picked me up for a chill-out session. That entailed a bunch of crap eating. NOOOO. But I went to the gym earlier, so it was slightly mitigated.
TODAY:
tub of watermelon - 650
chicken and vegetables - 200
one frosted cookie - 280
total - 1130
Damn you, cookie! No, damn you MCAT class! I had done so well, and then a cookie undid today's work. But I'm not feeling too horrible because my calorie intake wasn't too high. And I did spend five hours bustling and standing around in lab today as well as walked to and fro school.
Now that I clocked in, I think I'm going to go find my ring, take a shower, and do something.

Renewed dedication to my food journal starting... now. I need to be de-larded ASAP. The weekend was so gluttonous it wasn't even funny. I ate everything from homemade pho to eggrolls and ohmygod, so much ice cream. Things jiggle moreso than usual. I weighed myself, and I was surprised that my weight wasn't higher. Nonetheless, I'm the heaviest I've ever been, which is no good. I'm cheap, and I refuse to buy new pants, so it's either lose weight or pass out from girdle asphyxiation.
I'm in the middle of cleaning my apartment, and I never realized just how much busywork there is. To my roommates: I am so sorry I was ever a lazy bum. I am reneweing my efforts to be a cleaner person next year.
Up next: vacuuming, reorganizing the apartment, and scrubbing the bath tub. Why can't I be like this when I'm at home?

I reformatted my iPod last night until 11 pm, but it was worth it. I think I'm going to use this journal to chronicle my weight loss. It feels like such a waste to regurgitate my life when I'm already doing it over at lj.
So! The rules for the weight loss journal are as follows:
1. put in a post everyday. idgaf if it's inane and boring. If you want to read about my life, head on over here. I decided to make all my posts public because there is really no point in keeping anything a "secret" beside my SSN and all that junk; you'd have to be braindead to hand over that sort of info online. Beside, nothing on the internet is a secret.
That's all I can think of at the moment. LOL. Anyway. We'll go ahead and disregard the first six posts, since I can't be bothered to dick around with my blog. Here it goes!

DAY 1:
Everything is going fantastically well, except for that fact that I finished off the leftover junk food. It's disgusting, and I feel sick now, but I needed to get rid of it. Damn you, chocolate craving. I read somewhere it takes 21 days to get rid of a craving, and I wholeheartedly believe it. I haven't eaten cheese since Christina and Hannah left, and I don't crave it anymore! Hurray!
I exercise in the morning now. I run for an hour and lift weights/do crunches for another half. I am aching and sore everywhere, but it's the good kind of ache. Afterwards, I ate whole-grain pasta, which was SOOO GOOD ASD;FIAJSDFOj. But I don't plan on making it for a while because 1. I ran out of carbs, and 2. it makes me crave sweet things.
I also ran out of water and have resorted to boiling tap water for my H2O kick. I am dying from thirst here; I drink eight bottles a day, and to be reduced to four or five cups? Ugh.
This weekend, I hope to keep up with the exercising. And since there is no more junk food, hopefully I won't be tempted. I want to lose weight, but my goal is to get rid of the craving first.
GOAL FOR THE WEEK: stay away from sweet crap.
