After reading this http://chazzweaver.com/site/down-size-me/the-journal/ and other criticisms of Super Size Me movie, I am contemplating the direction I have taken my diet the last few days/week. Should I dirty up my diet again? I don’t know, but I already had a cheat meal (Meal #2) so I am on a slippery slope…

Interesting, I hadn’t heard of that guy. He’s got a pretty impressive metabolism since he’s 50 and was downing like 4000-5000 calories a day. But let’s face it, the dirtiness or cleanness is less important than the totals.
And I don’t think your lunchtime cheat is that much a cheat. A steak and nuts and a salad? pfft. Even the golden grahams weren’t that much. Contrast with going to Wendy’s and clearing out the left side of the menu. Try harder.

Total calories for the day (rough estimate) 6500 - 7000. In retrospect, I am glad I did NOT go to Burger King because if I had, I might have eaten more than 9000+ calories and regretted it tomorrow. Hopefully I will be back to the grindstone.
When it rains, it pours. I don’t know what I did during my Chest workout, but my lower back is almost as bad as when I hurt it on March 25th. I woke up in time for the morning cardio, but went back to sleep hoping a couple of more hours would relieve the back pain. No such luck, I should have done the cardio.
Waist normal 35.25" (-0.5")
Waist vacuum 32" (-1") maybe I got better at doing the vacuum
Waist push out 36" (-1.5") I did not push out hard enough - I am sure this might actually increase next time
Day 168 of diet 7/22/09 Wednesday.
No morning cardio - lower back still stiff like a mofo.
What’s with the meals composed of granola bars and chips? How does that happen? Do you carry them around in a backpack in case of emergencies. Do you sit down and say “and now, for my mid-morning snack, I shall eat six granola bars” or what? I have an entire cupboard full of stockpiled bars, but they taste like cardboard after two.
The granola bars and chips are in the office (next to my desk) for workers to eat as snacks. I can eat at least 10 or more in one sitting, but I try to limit myself. Most times I can resist, but sometimes I give in to the cravings, unfortunately - as the Borg like to say “Resistance is futile”.
I sound like a broken record - I don’t see any changes yet, between weeks 16,18,20,22,24 - all the same to me thus far. I need to lose at least 15 more pounds to see a 2-pack. I can’t imagine how many pounds I have to lose to actually see a 6-pack. Also took photos kind of late in the day.
