25th day I Tested Some Fast Food

So after 25 days of not drinking soda and trying to stay away from fast food I decided to get some Wendy's to see what I was missing. I really didn't like the taste of cherry coke after all that time with out it and fast food doesn't taste nearly as good as I remember

Points breakdown:

+1 Fruit smoothie(strawberries, blueberries, blackberries)
+1 Banana mid morning
+1 Two Clementines
+1 Bowl of fruit salad from the can the now sugar added kind
+2 Paddle tennis
-1 Glass of Red Wine
-5 Fast food Wendy's Baconator double with small fries and a cherry coke


Grand Total: -1


Notes: 

If last night is any indication I will be continuing my trend of cutting out soda and fast food going forward if I could just cut back on the drinking and the social life I might end up with 6-pack abs by summer. not enjoying the taste of foods that use to be killing my diet and replacing them with quality foods might lead to good things once i leave the holidays behind.

On a side note I am attempting to figure out what the next life Hack I am going to be doing I might try to come up a few ideas tomorrow and post them.

End of the Two Week Drill

Its been two weeks so far and sad to say I haven't been as good as I would have liked to be. Even though I have already lost 7 pounds roughly. I created a new stat that is called perfect score designed to show how many points I would have if I stuck perfectly to the diet, and I created a % of perfect. Which tells me where I actually stand in relation to perfection.

The points Breakdown:

+1 fruit smoothie
-2 two Genny lights at Thirsty's
-3 One garbage plate wrap (so good and yet so bad)
+1 two clementines
+1 Bowl of peas


Grand Total: -2

Notes:

 My scores after 2 weeks look something like this
Total points: 9
Average points per/day: -0.11
perfect score(days*highest point total): 154
current % of perfect score: 5.8%


Goals:

Second Week Stats:
Best day:  +11
Worst Day:  -5
2 out of 7 days were negative

Goals From Last Week:
3 or less negative days (completed)
A new high + day (completed) +11
A worst day of -5 (completed)
First day with out a single negative (Completed)

New goals:
Increased average for the week.  Last week average 2.43/per day

11 Days With Out a Soda

Nothing crazy happened today but we still went negative thanks largely to my mother and her great food gifts.
The breakdown:

+1 Fruit smoothie(Silk, Strawberries, Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
+1 Morning multivitamin
+1 two clementines with a turkey melt wrap(turkey, pepper jack cheese, lettice, tomato, light mayo)
+1 Banana mid afternoon
-2 Two chocolate covered Oreos (Its like my mother is trying to kill my diet)
-2 Buffalo chicken soup over rice (mom's leftovers)
+1 Big bowl of peas
+1 Banana strawberry smoothie with dinner little chocolate to taste
+2  Paddle Tennis (= to 15 minutes of cardio, we lost all three sets)
-4 Two glasses of wine after paddle
-2 two small pieces of a meatball mozzarella thing? (RJ made it)

Grand Total: -2


Notes:

Thursday is my Day off from the gym. I play paddle tennis instead, which I don't count as 15-30minutes of cardio. I missed my afternoon multivitamin I am out of my multivitamin after my morning dose on Friday. As they are rather expensive I asked for the platinum package from Pro Grade. Its the multivitamin, protein powder and an omega-3 supplement so hopefully the three will boost my healthy habits.

Sunday First Day of the New Week

Here is the breakdown:

-5 2 Dunkin Doughnuts white cream doughnuts (had to be at work at 7 on a Sunday)
+1 Fruit smoothie (water, Lots of blueberries, strawberries)
-3 Three Beers at Thirsty's  in Pittsford
+1 Clementine as a side to chicken at dinner
+1  Banana late night snack during the Walking Dead


Grand total: -5

Notes: The start of the new week we are gonna see more fruit and vegetables and hopefully less beer for a few days but we will see. Sunday I purchased Peas, corn and carrots and will try to work them in with the rest of my diet with the hope of adding another point or two on the Plus side of the ledger.

Saturday Back to My Old Ways Sadly

The first time since the start without a positive point all day. This was the kind of day I had before I started. Had to work on Saturday for end of the year inventory. 

Heres the breakdown:

-1  Cream cheese danish
-2  Four pieces of sheet pizza
-4   two beers at the how pregaming before the ugly sweater party
-6  Six beers at the Ugly sweater party (each beer is -1 at a party because its a social setting)

Grand Total -13

 Notes: Not a single plus yesterday and hungover all day from Friday.

 

Breakdown of the First Friday

Here is the long over do breakdown from yesterday:

+1 Fruit smoothie (milk raspberries, blueberries, strawberries,)
+1 Multivitamin first thing in the morning
+1 Multivitamin at the end of day
-2 birthday fruit tart at work. 
+5 For going to the gym
-4 4 beers at a cocktail party
-4 beers at the Half Pint new bar I checked out for the first time
-1 beer at Murphy's Law
-1 Vodka tonic at last call


Grand Total: -4

Note:  Weekends are going to be a serious problem for me.  Saturday is the first time since the start that I will probably not get a single positive point the whole day. Next week will have to be a bigger improvement on the + side of the ledger or the competition is gonna crush me in our weight loss competition. 

Day 4 and Still Hanging in There

Here is the Breakdown:

+1 morning Fruit smoothie (Milk, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
+1 Morning Multivitamin
+1 Afternoon Banana
-2 After work bowl of goldfish crackers (the last in the bag)
-2 Mild Sausage patty sandwiches on english muffins(only form of bread in the house)
-1 Blue light at paddle Tennis match(another loss)
-1 Glass of Red wine

Grand Total -3

Yesturdays's Notes:
Scoring for alcohol do to the fact that beer and wine is unhealthy they are a negative -2 if i am having one in a non social situation. they are only a -1 in social situations. (why ruin your social life for your health.) 

I talked to people about my new efforts to eat healthy and everyone has said to drop the milk from my smoothie every morning and replace it with water. Apparently more healthy just isn't healthy enough for the world.

Purchased the 4-Hour body with the hopes of picking up some added knowledge.
