School Begins This Week!

And that means Rec Center!!!

This weekend I totally botched any semblance of good diet, complete with a Chinese buffet--bad Matt, bad!

Oh well, I'll have my check, and if it turns out I wasn't kidding about not eating out all the time, then I should be able to make very good choices with my diet.

I got a sense of two things the last part of this week: 1) "Bad" diets are really out of habit, culture or level of 'enabling' moreso than anything else and 2) I'm discovering a little more thoroughly what it means for a high cal/high fat food to be "worth it" to me. Cheap doesn't really cut it anymore, and while Chinese buffets are delicious, I don't think it's really worth the calories-- Anna and I have a good idea of how to share meals, so we may be better at that when we go out.

I'm also trying to learn to say no to food. It's easier to turn down ice cream. Now if I can just turn down 'seconds' I'll be okay.

Anyway, the rec is open to me tomorrow! So my regimen of blitzing myself with a high dose of aerobic workouts begins! Hopefully with the lack of sleep I'm getting I'll be okay! I know I'll need better sleep if I'm going to do that though. Ah well, first day of school and all that.

I'm also going to weigh myself at the Rec before I workout, and post the results here. I'm also going to record calorie intake for Monday and Tuesday, just to get a feel for my diet again.

Anna needs to show me how to do that equation thing where I figure out my Recommended Calorie Expenditure for the next two weeks.

Whew, 7:20 comes early everyone, night!
