Week 2 !
I stand in slight disappointment due to the fact that my ACI was 1707.
I’m gonna really shoot for 1200 tomorrow. Have to get in the mindset of eating for functionality and not for enjoyment. Lacked on the water intake also so I’ll bump that up as well.
Workout:
3k TM Run
5K SB Cycle
The weekend really hurt me as far as workouts go so I plan on taking no breaks...

March 5: 1309

March 4
And today….
ACI: 1254
I think I’ll try to cap my calorie intake at 1300. Also I gotta work on eating more often throughout the day. Ate 3 times today but I wanna bump it up to 5. Reason being, less food means less conversion to fat but frequency will give me energy I need.
Workout: 5K TM Run 34:04
Goal for next 5K is to shave off that 4:04. 5K today felt hella good, actually...
MARCH 4

After, I went to subway and had a...

Today I was getting accustomed more to dieting again. Since this is a competition, I’m back on the dieting boat but with more focus on calorie counting.
Which means more reason to use my mini Moleskins. Yeah! Its like when I had a diet journal for karate but never wrote in it accurately b/c I didnt see the value. Who would have known I would be using the same techniques 10 years later...
3.3.09
unfortunately i did not stay below the mark… today i had a total of 2,199 calories.

Today …going to say good bye to some of the treats from Jack, Ronald, Wendy and the Colonel. I dont know what’s worse, that I know all the names or that I eat that stuff. Trying consume more “fresh” items on the menus.
Can’t completly kiss fast food goodbye b/c
one: I suck at cooking
two: Eating really healthy stuff is actually really expensive.
