Day 14, 15, 16, 17 - Shrunken Stomach

I'm going to combine the last 4 days simply due to the fact that I have very little new information to share.

I've become much less scientific in my quest and therefore, rarely plan my meals beforehand. I simply prepare/cook a cornucopia of blandness and scoop up a cup here and there as I rush in and out of the door. My mind is much less consumed with food as before, when all I could think of was some juicy morsel of sustenance. This tells me that my stomach has shrunk and no longer thinks it needs the same large portions as before!!! I have noticed, though, that my weight has evened off after the dramatic drop the first week. I plan on doing a couple of miles on my road bike this weekend, which, if I continue steadily, will push my weight down another 5 to 10 lbs. My ideal would be around 170 to 175 lbs, and I'm approx 189 to 193 at this point (it fluctuates). But as I said before - I carry the weight well (ha).

Do I crave any food item in particular? Not too much, unless I see it - that is why I stay out of kitchens in general.

Am I worried about running out of supplies? - not really - I'm kinda winging it at this point.

Any other questions rolling around in your head? Anyone? Anyone? Oh yeah, it's just me.

On another note, the picture below is my favorite billboard I pass on the way home from work everyday. Billy Dee Wms is telling me that Colt 45 "Works Every Time", this makes me feel so much better about the duration of this 30 Day thing, and life in general - now I have a back up plan! No matter what happens, all I have to do is go to my local Quickie Mart and pick up some Colt 45 - WHICH WORKS EVERY TIME! That's right, with a guarantee like that, any plan I have is full-proof!!! Man, I love you Billy Dee Williams - you are my sensei and guru all wrapped up in a little tin package full of mouth watering Colt 45!

On a more serious note, the picture above is common scenery around the same area - trash, trash and more trash. The river which runs into the Mississippi is so disgusting, I'm surprised some horrible mutant fish hasn't been found swimming around snacking on semi-trucks. When this rivers banks subside, it leaves a large variety of trash ranging from footballs to refrigerators!

Stay tuned for next times episode - Have I become a vegitarian?!?!? Oh my God!!!
