September 26 - Day 79
Forgive me bloggers, for I have sinned. It has been 12 days since my last confession.
Just writing to say hello and sorry that I have neglected you all! The past 2 weeks have been rough. I was sick 2 weeks ago and this past week I just had trouble getting back on track with the blgging, but I'M BACK!
I have run into a few people who told me they have been following, and I was even yelled at by my good buddy Ryan Krewer for basically sucking a couple weeks ago. Since then, I have been to the supermarket, been eating my salads, smoothies, better choices, and actually lost a few pounds. That being said, I also have broken my pizza rule 4-5 times, by eating 2 slices. I lost my way there. Today, I actually had 3 slices, BUT that was really all I ate, as I was recovering from last night's trip to AC for Mikey Sops' bachelor party. Lets talk about that . . . . . .
We went to Carmines for Dinner at the Tropicana. WOW. It was AWESOME! There were 10 of us. The menu (of which I did eat from each of the following included:)
Regardless, good times, good food, bad gambling (Congrats to Dave and Delano for having a much better craps session than me!)
I also must apologize for mis-stating my buffet rule last night - - - its not 1 buffet a month, its 1 buffet for each 10 pounds I lose, So i am currently on line to have my next buffet after I lose 6 more pounds. (Although 1 per month would be more fun!)
Anyway, I will get back on track and be updating you all daily. See you then!

- Garlic Bread
- Fried Calamari

Re-Posting of the J-Doc Monoblogs Rules
OK . . . . . . so, I am almost 3 months into this blogging debacle and I have lost 14 pounds. (A total of 26 dating back to April 27. This is half way to my goal. I have neglected the Monoblog for the past 2 weeks, when I got sick for a week, I got lazy and I have not really been eating great. Somehow through it all, I have not gained, but actually lost 3 since then. Consider it luck.
It is time for me to get back on track, and for anyone reading this, I will allow this to become an interactive opportunity! Many of you tell me you are reading this. Feel free to comment more and make me aware that you are reading so i keep working hard!
I sometimes lack some of the willpower to make good choices! For those of you who are reading this, its time for me to give up the excuses! I will do my part to the best of my ability, but when i falter, You have full permission to destroy me for it. Call me out. Yell at me!
MY JOBS:
**I do not want to "Diet" in an unrealistic way. i want to try to do something i can keep up with for an extended period of time (forever). This means that I will not be forcing myself to not eat things, I just need to limit how much i have and how often i have it.

MY JOBS:
- STOP SUCKING AT LIFE!!! (My diet life, that is. Let's be honest, I'm AWESOME at the rest of life) :-D
- Go to grocery store and keep stocked of good, healthy foods
- take the time to cook instead of grabbing fast food/etc
- continue to hit the gym for lifting AND cardio
- Stop making excuses and start making right choices
- Follow the rules I created (below)
- NEVER LIE to my people who are following the blog. I will not, I promise. That would defeat the purpose.
- Let me know if you are actually following this. The more who follow, the more apt I am to do well!
- If you are out with me, do not push me to eat more than I order
- Do not offer me your leftovers
- If you are out with me, you are welcome to question my choices of food and remind me that I have to make better choices!
- If we are out, and I am not drinking, deal with it and realize that I am fun as hell, regardless of whether or not I am drinking. Look at it this way, i can be the DD if I'm not drinking! This is an especially big one because over the past month, I have been to many bars with many people, and have drank countless glasses of water. Although some people are cool with it, many others spend too much time making me explain myself and then try to convince me to do otherwise. We are not 17. There is no peer pressure to drink. You have your beer, and I'll have my water if i choose!
- Yell at me if you see me making bad choices. I really don't want people to tell me I'm doing poorly, so if you do, it will motivate me to do better!!!
**I do not want to "Diet" in an unrealistic way. i want to try to do something i can keep up with for an extended period of time (forever). This means that I will not be forcing myself to not eat things, I just need to limit how much i have and how often i have it.
- Pizza: Pizza is fine. 1 slice. With or without toppings, and not more than once a day. I should not have any appetizers with that. Just the one slice.
- Soda: Diet only, and only if necessary.
- Water: 1 gallon a day is the best. Its tough in the heat because the gallon gets REALLY warm, but try my best
- Breakfast Sandwiches: 1-2 a week is ok, even with the Taylor Ham, BUT no bagels. Wheat toast please! And egg whites if possible
- Beer: Keep it to light if possible. if its at someone's house, the bud lite select 55 calorie beer is the choice.
- Breakfast in General: Fruit Smoothies would be the best, egg whites, Cheerios with skim milk. Breakfast should be prepared at home. No excuses. There is no need to buy breakfast, since it usually ends up being unhealthy.
- Evening: No late night eating. All attempts should be made to eat the last meal by 8pm and the last small snack before 9:30. TGI Fridays, Applebees, 1/2 price apps are a NO-NO. I can go, but I do not eat/drink. Stick to Water. (Maybe a salad?) I can hang out, but don't let me order my triple chocolate meltdown, boneless buffalo wings, crap like that.
- Snacking: 100 calorie packs are good because they are small and tasty. Salads at home are awesome, fruits veggies, etc. I always have them in the house, so I need to eat them!
- Frequency: I should be eating frequently and small portions. This will keep me from eating huge meals!
- Vacations/parties: SOMEHOW, i need to keep it contained on vacations and at parties. Limit the ridiculousness of larger/fun events. This is currently my worst.
- Buffets: not allowed! Under any circumstance. I will allow myself a buffet for every 10 pounds I lose, although I don't necessarily HAVE to go.

Starting weight - 199
SLEPT IN TODAY, so i weighed myself a little late, but it is when i woke up! :-)
Breakfast/Lunch - 1 bowl of cheerios in skim milk,
5 small turkey meatballs with marinara on whole wheat bun
GYM: - Did shoulders (12 sets) and Legs (19 sets) as well as 400 abs. Went with Brody and did some new exercises. Good stuff.
Snack - Mixed fruit/banana/OJ smoothie
Dinner/Snacks/Late night: Went to Jill's partay tonight in NY State. had a lot of beers and 2 shots. It was bud Select 55, though, which is better, since its only 55 calories each. Also, they grilled, so I opted for the turkey burger and the turkey dog, on the "healthy" rolls. Although, Turkey dogs are nasty, so I'm done with that! hahahaha
I overate on the crackers and buffalo chicken dip, as well as doritos and cheeseballs, but i guess overall, i didn't do THAT bad.
oh, i ate 3 cookies

Starting weight - 199
Breakfast - 1 bowl of cheerios with skim milk
Snack - Peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat bun
Lunch - ham sandwich on whole wheat bun
Snack - 100 calorie pack
Dinner - went a little overboard. Was the first teacher happy hour. That being said, i did better than i USUALLY would have in this situation.
We were at Tommy Foxes in Bergenfield. I needed dinner, but didn't want to spend a lot. I got the Buffalo Chicken Fingers. There were 4 of them, it was good enough. Then as soon as it arrived, i found out that they were having the free buffet bbq outside! This is when it got crazy. BUT I was pretty good. All i had was a small BBQ chicken kebob, a tiny piece of bbq chicken, a hamburger and a corn on the cob. Also had 5 beers.
I ended up coming home and passing out for a nap, only to wake up at 6am, to my SCHOOL ALARM, very confused and not sure what day it was (Saturday!)
After I almost got up and started to shower for work, i realized that it was Saturday, responded to all my Saturday night texts, and forced back to sleep. Funny cuz I told my friends at happy hour how sometimes that happened, and BANG, it happened! ARGH. Sucks, i was supposed to go out with Oppy . . . . . . BOOOOOO!

OK . . . . . woke up on time today! WAHOO! 6am, rise and shine! First day of school time!
Breakfast - 1 bowl of cheerios with skim milk
lunch - my chef Salad - which is my regular salad (lettuce, cucumber, chick peas, cheddar shredded cheese, bacon bits, another weird topping, croutons) and add to it some turkey and ham cold cuts. 2 slices of each. DELIGHTFUL. :-)
snack - 100 calorie pringles
snack - 100 calorie toast-cheez
Dinner - medium slurpee, 1 taquito and 1 chicken finger.
Snack - Overdid it a little bit with the chocolate cookies & Cream ice cream, but overall, a decent day. Haven't decided if I'm going to the gym tonight or not. Its currently 8:30. I'm watching football. I have lots of school work to do. AND I'm sitting in the air conditioning . . . . . . . . .

Ok, I went to the gym with Scott and played some intense racquetball! he won 3 of the 4 games, but it was pretty awesome exercise.
Then went to NYC at 11:30 to hang with Pete and some friends. Went to the karaoke bar (3 beers) and then to a huka bar (however you spell that) Got home at 3:30, to take a nap and go to work :-)
Drank a whole gallon today of the water . Trying to get back on that kick.

September 1 - day 55
WELL, i woke up really late today (although its the earliest I've gotten up in 2 months!) which is why i must start with:
STARTING WEIGHT - UNKNOWN.
Wanted to be at school to practice by 7am, then we had 8am gathering for first day of work. I woke up at 7:40. OOPS. I set the time for my alarm but never turned the alarm on!!! Regardless, I was up and out of the house in like 5 minutes, which leads me to:
BREAKFAST - bagel with butter. (Sorry, I know, but i had no choice really)
So I also had no time to make lunch, so i grabbed some leftovers, but it was the first day of work. Did you REALLY think I was gonna eat by myself? Which leads me t0:
LUNCH - 1 slice of BBQ chicken pizza topped with Buffalo Sauce. (still sticking to my 1 slice rule)
Throughout the day, i need to snack, so i have a bag of 100 calorie packs to hold me over. I had one. Don't remember which one.
I ended up doing paperwork and setting up at work til after 8pm. Still hadn't eaten dinner, but wanted to get it in before 9. I realized that i had brought those leftovers from the Olive Garden, which brings me to:
DINNER - 1 serving of the penne with 5 cheese marinara and sausage/chicken. I was a little weak and snacked on a TINY donut and 1/3 of a piece of crumb cake.
I came home and was motivated to go to the gym. Why was I so motivated? I swear, probably 8-10 people today told me how it looked like I had lost a considerable amount of weight over the summer. It was very motivating, since I was not sure if it was even really noticeable at this point. SO, instead of going to Applebees with everyone else, I went to the gym and did my
CHEST/TRICEPS workout. 19 sets worth. then 350 abs.
Overall, it was a good day. Got a lot done, got to the gym, didn't eat the BEST foods, but certainly didn't overeat.
Here's to hoping I wake up on time tomorrow!
