How Close Is Close Enough?

28 Day Plan - Day 2

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 04:15:30 GMT

Tuesday September 2nd
Slimfast shake
1 egg, scrambled (no butter), ketchup
1 apple
China buffet with mom
3 Diet Cokes
1 spoonful of cherry chocolate chip ice cream
Approximately 20 announces of water
Spent approximately 20 minutes walking about campus

Food: 2/2
Water: 0/2
Exercise: 1/2
Journaling/Posting: 2/2
Daily Self Esteem Challenge: 0/2

Total: 5/10

Okay, so the worst bit about yesterday as far as I'm concerned is the self-esteem challenge, since Tuesdays are procrastination days and I've had important stuff that I've been putting off. I should have written up my resume, but I was either on campus or with my mum most of the day. Bleh. The other thing is the water: seriously, it's probably the easiest part of the whole damn challenge, and I haven't even gotten a point either day so far. So today my Nalgene will not leave my side. Hopefully I'll be able to skip eating altogether and this can be my fasting day. Yay!

Hahaha...I guess I have a lot of work to do! Geez I suck. Oh well. Today wasn't perfect either, but I will try to do better tomorrow. Hopefully it will be my liquid fast day. We will see how things go. It's been a while, I'm just getting back into the swing of things - but no worries! I'll get back on track soon enough.

28 Day Plan - Preliminary info

Tue, 02 Sep 2008 13:55:53 GMT

Rules for the 28 Day Plan can be found here: http://community.livejournal.com/28dayplan/profile

Since I don't have a scale, I guess I'm going to wing it at first - I will try to get ahold of one by the end of the week. This plan, for me, has more of an intention to control than straight-out weight loss program though, so we will see.

Food: Broken up into three sections. Four days a week, I will be allowed one "regular" meal with the housemates, as well as one Slimfast shake and snacks not to exceed 300 calories. Two days a week I will only be allowed 2 Slimfast shakes and snacks not to exceed 300 calories. One day per week will be a 24-hour liquid fast - water, tea, iced tea, Diet Coke and possibly juice allowed, but nothing else.

Water: According to the rules, up to 24 oz of your daily total may be zero-calorie decaffeinated beverage, such as tea. I will make an effort to fill my Nalgene with water daily and pay attention to how much I am drinking.

Exercise: Walking to campus, biking, and doing exercises at home.

Posts: Every day I will post about the previous day.

Alright, I guess that's enough to get me started...ready ready aaaaaand GO!!!!!!
