Okay so that week I was all over the place. My workouts were good, but my eating is just whatever.

Have you heard of Tim Ferriss?
He's my inspiration for chronologizing my journey with food and exercise. He's done it all and wrote about it.Tim Ferriss has this one plan that is supposed to get you down to like, 7% body fat. Can you imagine?? SEVEN PERCENT..That's like the rock or those girls from the ab climber infomercials. Amazing. Here's the plan, you eat lean meats, veggies and beans at every meal. You can have calorie free caffeine or water. I started a version of this that is kind of minus the beans, because that's weird and I don't know if I could suffer through beans. I also am kinda making it like just meats, no carbs. I'm playing by his rules, I'm just not incorporating veggies and beans every time I eat meat. John, my boyfriend, says that it's not supposed to be enjoyable, it's supposed to make you look like a supermodel. FINE, I get it. You can have one cheat day a week that does not limit you at all. In fact, you are supposed to gorge yourself so your metabolism has to work hard and that you also get so sick of eating shitty food that you are back on track the next day. Seems simple enough. I started last week....

Monday: 2 eggs w/sprinkle 2% cheese (I'm not supposed to have dairy besides eggs, but my eggs needed a sprinkle cheese, oops), 6 slices oscar mayer maple ham, 5 habenaro almonds, 1/2 bag beef jerky, 100cal starkist tuna salad pack
Workout: 20 mins walk/run (1.5 miles on incline 4), 30 mins abs, biceps, triceps, shoulders!

Workout: 20 min walk/run, 45 mins legs and abs

Wednesday: Homemade hamburger patty 90/20, with ketchup and mustard (210)
10 slices oscar mayer maple ham (75), 5 french fries (ugh bowling alley and starving), 2 kids chicken fingers (this apparently is allowed) (300)
3 Miller Lites (this is not, but I'm also not playing by the rules that I can't drink)(200), 5 buffalo chicken bites (harris teeter) (200), 4 brown rice spicy tuna rolls (harris teeter) (200)
Workout: According to myfitnesspal, 2 hrs of bowling burns 350 calories. I bowled for 3, but gave myself the low-end of the calorie burn...woohoo!

Thursday: 1 piece beef jerky, 1/4 cup chicken salad, 3 slices honey turkey, Homemade hibachi--grilled steak w/peppers and onions dipped in white sauce (only 100 calories per tsp)
Workout: none bc i was depressed that I may not have a job next school year because of loss of grant funding. (Debbie Downer face)

Friday: 2 eggs scrambled w/ 2% cheese, 1 slice turkey bacon, grilled chicken pita w/bacon, cheese, lettuce, honey mustard, Arroz con mescicos (scallops, shrimp over rice with cheesy sauce), Mexican chips, bunches of lite beer
I decided that 24 hrs was a day and I could start my cheating at 9pm on Friday and end at 9pm on Saturday night.

Saturday: CHEAT DAY. Anything and everything: chips, dip, fettuccine carbonara, bread sticks, chocolate, ice cream

Sunday: 2 eggs scrambled, 1 piece turkey bacon, beans & cut up hotdogs, 1/4 cup chicken salad
Workout: 2 mile walk/run

Still taking Adderall, Claratin, St. John's Wart. Stopped taking microgestin. I want to see if that has an effect on my hormones, causes me to hold onto fat.

After the first week of Tim Ferriss's plan, I feel a lot leaner even though my clothes fit the same. After stepping on the scale, it's around 128. I want to stay on this plan for at least 4 weeks to see if it helps. I have one month until the bridge run and my bet with Angela is up. I have to lose more % of body fat than her in order to win my Target gift card. Wish me luck!
