First Day...Success!

Day one of the new me version 3.4.1 went great.  I ate well, drank lots of water, got a full eight hours of sleep, and had zero wine....and now I feel funny.  Sure I dropped a massive two tapered job this am as soon as I got into the office and yes I know I'm treating my body better, but watching the BCS Championship game totally sober was an odd experience.  I think I should be feeling better so lets just break this down:

Food:

Here's my food journal from yesterday..

• 7 - 15 ounce cups of water
• Three mini crustless quiche (cottage cheese, whole grain sausage)
• One 250 cal chicken and spinach salad
• Three small pieces of chicken breast (less than 100 cal)
• Sliced carrots (about one full carrot)
• Two bowls of organic chicken and veg soup
• Four small sourdough nuggets to go with the soup

Although everything I ate was healthy, I'm thinking I didn't get enough calories and I didn't eat my breakfast until nearly noon...need to change that

Water:

According to everything I've read on my internet machine, I missed the amount of water I was supposed to have by about 50 ounces.  Problem with this is, I probably pissed 87 times yesterday and I wasn't about to go to bed all loaded up on water.  I'll try to drink more today

Booze:

Zero...me no likey.  This is honestly the first time in over a year where I've had no wine all day.  Probably going through withdrawls

Sleep:

Eight solid hours and I was in bed by 10:00pm.  Good there.

Overall the day was a success.  Today I might try to work some exercise in and see how that treats me.  Hopefully I don't poop myself.

I'm Back and Bigger Than Ever!!

That's right ladies and gents, the old Gut Chronicles is going to make a comeback and thank God because I've gotten a little large.  Above is a photo of me from a few weeks ago.  Check out that bulging gut and three chins...I'm a specimen of good health.

Here's what's happened in the last 16 months since my last post...in a nutshell:

• Got a  new job
• Moved to NoCal and commuted back and forth to Orange County for six months
• Moved the whole family to an undisclosed NoCal location
• Along the way, I ate and drank everything I could possibly get my hands on.  I was like Agustus Gloop AND his mother in Willy Wonka....I just let it go and loved doing it!

So...in an effort to become normal again, I'm starting the year off right with cutting out so much booze, eating healthy, and getting my fat ass back into the gym I pay for every month but never go to.  To try and hold myself to a better standard, I plan to try and update the Gut Chronicles again too!

I just want to be pretty again...stay tuned for more hot Gut Chronicles action

Food From the Devil

Sorry for the sporadic blogging folks, last week I was in NoCal having high level meetings with important execs and whatnot....

Here's the lowdown, workouts are going great but over the past few days, I've found myself back on the Cheez-its and I need to stop.  These delicious little squares of evil are serious beast mode stoppers and something must be done about it.  NO MORE...I'm putting a self ban on Cheez-its!
