Day 3

I told my folks about mine blog here. I hope I didn't jinx myself (which isn't to say they're a jinx- it just seems that I inevitably jinx myself whenever I tell someone I'm doing this for serious. Then again, this whole thing would be pretty self-defeating then, wouldn't it? Hey, you know what's fun- rambling! I'm going to stop that now) but everyone I've told has been super supportive and a follower! You guys rock, I love you all!
Day 3 has been going pretty well with a few hitches- I keep waking up hungry. Don't get me wrong, I love my mom's healthy meals (last night was strips of steak and artichoke- and for those of youi saying, "Steak isn't healthy" you can have my flabby white butt instead. Yeah, I totally said it. Or typed it. Something. Yeah) but once I exercise, I get hungrier and then I go to bed hungry. So this morning I was starving, but I didn't overdo it on my cereal (yes, I eat cereal too, but that justification is that I need carbs to sustain me through the morning).
But, interesting things have happened following Day 2- for starters, I lost 2 pounds, yay me! Ha ha. I was sitting at a table during my waiting period for my next class, eating strawberry-banana yogurt while reading "Kiss the Girls" by James Patterson (awesome movie, strange book. Usually it's the other way around, but...I don't have an ending to that sentence. How embarrassing) when this guy comes up to me. We chit-chat a little bit about the novel and the other novels following; it's awkward and the conversation doesn't flow well. He's sweet and somewhat shy, but you know you're grasping at straws when they say, "So...I see you like the strawberry-banana kind of yogurt." Yeah, it got that weird. In fairness, I feel kind of guilty- it takes guts to go up to a random stranger to ask them out (oh did I mention that? Well, now I did. I must stop repeating myself/rambling). But I didn't give him my number- I didn't know him and it was just awkward.
The first thing I thought to myself when he left? "A guy just hit on me- man, those two pounds must've made all the difference!"
I laughed at myself. And I invite you to laugh at me as well. It'll be just like middle school, only instead I'll be laughing WITH you (and not horribly upset that people are mean. Reliving middle school is a fun masochist thing to do).
Anyway, I've made it my mission to be super good, food-wise. I only slipped a little today by having some chips with my dinner. It wasn't the whole bag, but they were sea-salt chips, so I gotta exercise extra hard to take off that fun water weight that'll surely add to my loving, ever-expanding waistline (well, I hope it's not ever-expanding; otherwise, I really suck at this).
In a final note, some lady in my class tonight kinda chewed my head off, so I prescribed her a nice tall glass of calm down juice. And then I wondered if there was such a thing- and then I wondered how many calories it would have. I suppose if it were calm down juice it would have minimal calories- otherwise, seeing its high caloric intake would cause people to not be calm. See?
Ok, this is what we crazy people think about with all our free time.
I'm seriously gonna do this dammit- I'm sore, I'm exhausted from school (and the new job- the three year olds are a workout unto themselves); but I'm going to do this. And having you guys on the journey makes it that much better. You rock.
Alright yall, I'm gonna chill for a bit and then do my exercise thingy (remember: if you don't have the thingy, it's not really exercise. Is that what she said? I should go).
Love, peace, and chicken grease
