Sorry for such a late post. The internet I use was being dumb.
I want to get to bed soon, so Il just do all my food and total
2 eggs
1 apple
1 cup tea
4 oatcakes
1 wrap with chicken lettuce cheese tomato
1 juice box
1 can tuna
1 cup cottage cheese
1 cup honeycomb cereal
1/2 cup beef bbq
1 fried chicken drumstick
1 tbsp rasinettes
A good amount of chips (needed the salt. Im going to start having dill pickles instead)
1 oatcake
1 cup milk
----Total: 2720 Kcal, 115g fat, 269g carbs, 155g protein
Not great, just the bare minimum.
Today was a good day.
The chemistry Nobel prize was one of the project ideas I came up with prior to doing my college science project --(I can tell Iām tiredā¦ almost slipped with the college name. Not that it really matters but Id like to not give away a ton of info)-- : a high surface area metal compound used for a catalyst, among other things. So does this mean I think on the same level as a Nobel laureate? I hope so. Maybe after I finish my project concerning moss (if I dont decide to keep going further), I can work with something like that.
I ran out of yarn for my sweater Iām making. I need to get more. I will shift my focus into making a scarf.
The 10th day in the month of October, in the year of our Lord 2025
The 5th day of the 7th week
I have a half day for school today. That means I only have 45 minutes for strength classā¦ I hope he either skips the warmup or just does a really fast simple one.
These weekend, and the next few, Il be able to work with my brother to make a bit of money, so that nice.
I think today I will practice my clarinet a little bit.
I have the pattern for the crochet scarf memorized in the head so thatās good. I can just do it.

Im not going to make any more of those oatcakes. Too carb heavy. I donāt need them with the little I do.

ughā¦ my stomach is unhappy with me. I only had a large Italian sandwich for lunch and a pound of fish for dinnerā¦ what gives? (if you canāt tell Iām jokingā¦ Iām jokingā¦ mostly)
My knees, and to a much lesser extent my hips, have been hurting on and off for awhile. ive noticed that they feel worse when i have my shoes on. When I take them off, my knees stop hurting. Any ideas why? What can I do to stop this knee pain? Its not affecting my squats, its just annoying when im walking up the stairs and I have to slow down some, and when I have to walk with a slight limp. Its really irritating.
The 11th day in the month of October, in the Year of our Lord 2025
The 6th day of the 7th week.
Decided to sleep in to 8 today. Wasnāt planning on sleeping in that late but oh well.
I have to do my cardio workout today. Probably will do a runā¦ Probably would help a bit with shedding a little adipose tissue. And cleaning my diet up.
Rules:
No cereals
No breads (in circumstances I can control)
No sweets (like shoofly pie, icecream, candy)
No fried potato products (fries, chips)
NEED TO EAT MORE VEGETABLE AND FRUIT. IT IS NOT OPTIONAL.
Im going to weigh myself in today. I know Iām 160lbs minimum. I think Iām a little heavier than that now though since after eating my dinner I was 165lbsā¦ thatās a significant increase in weight, even if most of it is food. I didnāt eat 5 lbs. At most 2-3 pounds I would say. Im thinking about cutting my calories back if Im not able to get in my healthy foods.
It doesnāt look like Iām gaining fat though, but I feel like I am? I donāt think its JUST my core pushing out the fat. But at the same time it might be. When I grab the fat on my stomach, it feels like its the same amount of fat Iāve been able to grab the last year.
No its not.. Thatās a lie. I think I am gaining fat. I need to clean up the diet. Having fat is not bad (at the levels I have it), but I would like to not gain a ton.
I was thinking about it, and i think ive ruled out the possibility that im gaining muscle mass. Still, Im cleaning up my diet
I weight 161lbs today. I am the heaviest I have EVER been in my life. Wow.
Breakfast:
3 eggs
1 oz goat cheese
3/4 cup cottage cheese
3 slices of pineapple
1/8 cup of oats
----Total: 592 Kcal, 29g fat, 39g carbs, 44g protein
I am 30lbs heavier than I was in September last year. Iāve made alot of progress. I remember when my bench press 3rm was 95lbs, squat was 135, pullups were 2-3 in a row. I remember when I started doing OHP in spring I was working with a 45. I could barely squeeze out a rep. But I still tried, and within a week or two I was getting stronger with it. Then when I started trying to progress doing only 8-12 reps, I was wondering why I couldnāt get it heavier. Low reps are much better than high reps when it comes to building real strength.
Snack:
1/4 cup pistachios
1 fruit strip
2 slices whole wheat bread
2 tbsp peanut butter
1 cup milk
8 club crackers
a bit of honey
----Total: 856 Kcal, 45g fat, 87g carbs, 30g protein
Need 761 Kcal and 28g protein. Easy
I took a nap for about an hour. Will do cardio when my pet cat gets off my lap.
My cat got off when it was time for dinner. So Iām resorting to advanced tactics: Wii sports
Dinner:
2 steak grilled cheese sandwiches
1.75 cups grape juice
----Total: 1197 Kcal, 58g fat, 122g carbs, 47g protein
Days total: Im such a fatass.
Days total: 3437 Kcal, 173g fat, 252g carbs, 219g protein.
Well I got my protein in atleast. Should have done without the grape juice, but it felt like it needed it.
I think Im going to have beef be a large part of my diet. I know how to cook it now, so I can cook a bunch and have it throughout the week. I like beef alot.
Iāve become a lot more undisciplined recently. Im going to work on that. I need to crack down on fixing my bed time to a specific time. 8:00 is good. And I need to stop sleeping in (with an uncontrolled manner) on weekends, its so hard to get out of bed if I stay awake in it for more than 2 seconds. I can just set my alarm for 6:00 and Il be fine. Im going to keep doing my clean diet.
List of things to stop

Eating crap
Sleeping in
Staying up past 8:00

Today I WILL eat healthy. I WILL eat ONLY 3000 Kcal.
Im going to eat only complex carbs for my carb source, and no added sugars. No breads. Just oats, fruits, vegetables, and dairy sources. Im going to drink more milk today. 1 glass with every main meal.
Snack+Lunch
1 babybel
1 lime
12 club crackers
1/2 Italian sandwich
15 raspberries
----Total: 742 Kcal, 43g fat, 62g carbs, 28g protein
Okay, I cheated a little with the crackers. And I guess the Italian too but I needed to finish that sandwich. Still, Im eating healthier than I have been. Iāve eaten a decent bit of fruit today.
I was doing some research and I donāt know if I want to choose chemistry as a major in college. There are soo many classes you have to take and it is supposed to be such a time drain. I do want to do chemistry but I donāt want to have to do ALL that, just to have a bunch of debt and have to do even more studying if I want to get a good job. Maybe chemistry can be like a minor, but Iām not doing all that.
I donāt know what I want to do. I want to do chemistry but I donāt want to have to do all that. I could be a physical trainer, maybe, but I donāt know.
Personal trainer is a good gig/job, but not a career.
Sometimes, a good approach for employment isnāt to necessarily think about āwhat would be fun to doā, but instead āwhat am I good at?ā
I majored in political science in college. I had no desire to work in politics: I was just the top theology student in my high school. Theology and government have a lot of overlap, I went that way. Was a good fit, and I use what I learned all through out my nearly 20 year career.
