I know things will fall into place soon.\u00a0 I know it gets easier…\u00a0 routine, inertia, and all those types of things.\u00a0 But the first few days of trying to limit calories are always ridiculously horrible and hilarious.\u00a0 So, I present to you… the day 1 chronicles of #projectraceweight.<\/p>\n

\"Dec14-1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Spaceship!!! I mean raceweight!!!!<\/em><\/p>\n

Upon waking: yeah! Time to start #projectraceweight, I’ve only been thinking about this for months.\u00a0 LETS GET IT ON!<\/p>\n

Morning – hey, I’m too busy to do anything but eat this 100 calorie greek yogurt (with a 5 day old spoon from my last yogurt that’s still sitting at my desk, yeah, I know, I’m gross).\u00a0 That’s probably a good start, right?<\/p>\n

Mid-morning: why am I biting people’s heads off and feeling irrationally angry at things?\u00a0 Oh, right, I only had a 100 calorie yogurt for breakfast.<\/p>\n

noon-thirty: turkey sandwich is LIFE.\u00a0 Veggie pasta salad is EVERYTHING.\u00a0 I’m sorry for the things I thought when I was hungry.\u00a0 I love eating food.<\/p>\n

\"Fl-6\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sadly, not publix.\u00a0 But like, kinda the same.\u00a0 With sprouted grain bread instead of magic bread.\u00a0 And no magical pickles.\u00a0 Ok, not the same at all. \ud83d\ude41<\/em><\/p>\n

2pm: well, fuck, why am I hungry already?\u00a0 Well, knew this was going to happen for a few days.\u00a0 Let’s get some decaf chai.\u00a0 Yummmm.<\/p>\n

3pm: gum is good gum is good gum is good gum is good gum is good gum is good.<\/p>\n

4pm: why did i eat the stupid cheese on my sandwich?\u00a0 That’s 70 calories, like half the can of soup I’m staring at wishing I could put in my mouth.\u00a0 I wonder how many calories are in tin?<\/p>\n

4:30pm: I ate a healthy breakfast and lunch.\u00a0 Why aren’t I skinny yet?\u00a0 119 days and 1 dinner to go.\u00a0 Sigh…<\/p>\n

\"Mar16\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the appropriate sized salad for me right now…<\/em><\/p>\n

5pm: gum is good gum is good gum is good… fuck, it’s getting stale. *pleh*<\/p>\n

5:14pm, 5:21pm, 5:22pm, 5:22:30pm, etc: is it time to go yeeeeeeeeet?<\/p>\n

5:25pm: break down and grab my blackberries.\u00a0 Some of them taste like they’re about to turn bad.\u00a0 Wonder if a stomach bug would help me get to race weight quicker.\u00a0 Decide to pick around the obviously bad ones as a compromise.<\/p>\n

5:45pm: whyyyyyy do I have to do an errand after work?\u00a0 I want to eat dinner noaaaaw.\u00a0 Who’s idea was it to give up snacks?\u00a0 (sigh, ME)<\/p>\n

6pm: if the bike guy takes any longer I might go lick someone’s tires.<\/p>\n

6:30pm: this is the best chicken I’ve ever tasted in my life.\u00a0 This yogurt caesar isn’t so bad either.\u00a0 I love food.\u00a0 I love food so much.\u00a0 This is one thing I have going for me, I love healthy food so at least I don’t hate what I’m eating.\u00a0 That would be horrible!<\/p>\n

6:45pm: I have more calories, and I’m still hungry, so another chicken patty and 10 (count them) tater tots as a treat.\u00a0 Besides needing a dash more fiber, my macros are spot on without explicitly trying *throws the rockstar horns*.<\/p>\n

7pm: ok, 1250 calories.\u00a0 Done for the day.\u00a0 I’ll put some lemon and stevia in this water and pretend it’s vodka and I’m sipping it on a beach somewhere, already done with this.<\/p>\n

\"Mar16-2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yep.\u00a0 Totally the same, except on my couch, from a water bottle, no booze, and no ocean to play in.\u00a0 Totally the same.\u00a0 (Not the same at all)<\/em><\/p>\n

8:30pm: fuck it, let’s go to bed so I can’t see the kitchen anymore.<\/p>\n

8:45pm: proudly put two stars on the calendar, one for me, one for Zliten, signifying that we made it through #projectraceweight day one, successfully<\/p>\n

Today, I’m here with coffee in hand and a slightly bigger breakfast, and I’m back to the start.\u00a0 1 day + 1 meal down, 118 and 2 meals to go.\u00a0 Let’s get it on, day 2!<\/p>\n
