It's monday, and that means it just was the weekend, so I got some takeout both days, and gained 2 lbs.  We move on, we persevere, we take vegetables and fruit and a Nutrisystem dinner with us to work.

Later, Fatheads.

Hiccups, Back To Work

So I had to dine out yesterday, and it could have gone a bit better.  We went to a deli for a retirement lunch for a colleague, and I had some manner of small sub sandwich with a fruit cup instead of chips, which wasn't so terrible, but for dinner, we went to a seafood joint and I had fish and chips with the diet coke (I had to return to work).  Fish and chips is possibly one of the worst things you can eat, but I kind of don't care.  I realized I'd finally gone coastal, and I hadn't had the chance to eat seafood since I've gotten here.  Oh, I also ate 2 apples and a South Beach snack bar at work, yesterday, and went to bed around 3:30am this morning.

I think I'm ok with these numbers.

I'm back on the horse today, and I'm going to grab a quick frozen Nutrisystem Toasted Ham & Cheese for lunch with some cinnamon raisin toast and an apple, then mosey on down towards work.

G'day, Fatheads.

Quick Update

I need to be in early today for a retirement lunch, and I've hit the snooze alarm too many times, so I'm gonna make it quick.  Last night, I ate my frozen Nutrisystem Turkey Pepperoni Pizza, a bagel with cream cheese (half at dinner, half at the end of my shift), some carrots, an apple, some grapes, and I had a South Beach snack bar at the very beginning of my shift.

There it is, weight same, fat down, water up, time to hit it.

Weigh In For Justice

So, I realized this morning that I'm in a bit of a strange spot.  I tossed a bunch of my old Nutrisystem food at the beginning of the month, because I was tired of having such a surplus around.  I'm looking at running into the same thing in the near future, though, because I'm basically only eating lunch and dinner most days, and I haven't been eating frozen meals all that much.  I'm thinking of taking one to work tonight, and seeing how well it lives in my desk before meal time.

Weight:     303.6 lbs
Body Fat: 43.3%
Water:      43.4%

All continues according to my master plan, and now, I consume me some lunch.

I decided to grab one of my frozen Nutriystem lunches, the Steak & Cheese Melt.

Along with 2 slices of this cinnamon raisin bread (toasted) and a few grapes (not pictured).  Glorious, glorious lunch, this was.  Afterwards, I moved on to putting together my foods for work.

As you can see, I'm taking some carrots, 2 apples, and some grapes with me to work.  Not pictured is a bag of my remaining various flavors of South Beach snack bars, along with an assortment of Nutrisystem snacks and desserts (I've found it's just easier to keep those things in my desk, rather than bring them on a daily basis).  Now, time to hit the showers and get out the door for the workings.

Bonus Evening Post

Since you've all been such good little boys and girls, and I've had a long night and last night's House isn't all that exciting, you get a bonus post!  So I took carrots, cauliflower, some olives, an apple, and A Nutrisystem BBQ Sauce over Beef, Beans and Rice.  When I first got to work, I ate one of my South Beach snack bars.

I only ate the entree, the bread, a Nutrisystem Peanut Cookie, and the apple.  I just didn't feel hungry all shift, or, rather, I didn't find any of the food interesting.  Unfortunately, I had to go fucking grocery shopping at WalMart after work (where else is open at midnight?)

The whole trip was an exercise in self control.  You walk in the door, and there's a goddamned sandwich stand (right after the "please buy these discount day-old baked goods" section).  I like sandwiches, I am what you might call a "sandwich person".  I almost talked myself into "just a six inch sub" but then I moved on to vegetables.  Picked up baby carrots, apples, green beans, and some grapes.  From there, I once again had to walk past delicious baked goods.  Seriously, fuck you, WalMart.

On to the bread aisle, where I picked up a loaf of whole grain, and a loaf of cinnamon raisin, because I live dangerously.  In the same aisle, I grabbed some tea, and looked for honey, because I need some for my tea, and it made sense to me that it would be there.  I did not find the tea, so I continued to the soda aisle, past more fucking baked goods, to grab a couple of 12 packs.  Who the fuck decided that delicious nuts and chips and things need to be in that aisle?

After this, I moved on, past baked goods, past other snacky items, to the checkout, where I allowed myself a tube of peanuts... which I then put back.  I checked out and got the hell out of there, victorious.

So I got home, and had this feast.  2 pieces of burn cinnamon raisin toast, a PB&J sandwich, and some grapes.  Jesus Christ, how wrong has my life gone that THAT is a fantastically decadent post-work late-night meal?

Well, I'll take this opportunity to discuss something that a very few of you might wonder about, and others already probably know because they work in similar circumstances.  At work, cameras are highly verboten.  If you're across the street from the property, and the security force (which operates 3-4 shifts and is ALWAYS fully-staffed) catches you, they will confiscate your camera and film and possibly detain you for the police, even if you're an employee.  If you have a work camera permit, and you take a picture in a part of the plant your permit doesn't cover, roughly the same principles go into affect.  Camera permits only allow you to use company equipment, and only for company business.

The point of all this is that there will not be any pictures of food from work.  I keep meaning to take them before I go to work of my little adorable tupperwares, but I keep forgetting.  When I'm back on first shift, dinner pictures may resume, and I'm going to try and get back in the habit of taking breakfast or lunch pictures, when I actually eat those meals.

Well, I'll probably be up until 3 or 4am, so I'm going to get to watching my Hulu queue, and hope I can wake up at a half-decent hour today.

G'morning, Fatheads.

Cold Continues, So Does Weightloss

Yeah, I'm still suffering through this cold, although I feel better this morning than I have in about a week.  Last night, I took some carrots, cauliflower, 2 apples, a slice of whole grain bread, and a Nutrisystem Southwestern Chicken Wrap with me to work.

I keep South Beach snack bars in my desk, so I had one of those when I first got in, because I became ill while doing my morning grooming, and threw up my breakfast.  I also ate one of the apples, most of the carrots, the bread and the entree, which was new for me, and rather good.  I also had a Nutrisystem Peanut Butter Cookie for dessert, which I enjoyed.

When I came home, I had a few sugar free lollipops, and eventually got to sleep around 4am.

So all is well in the land of the Fatass, and I'm now contemplating a nice cup of Nutrisystem Mashed Potatoes for lunch.  I'll let you know what happens.

Quick Weigh-In

I kind of let myself oversleep this morning, because I still feel rather unwell, so I'm doing a barebones blog.

Last night, I got a medium The Works Papa John's Pizza for dinner, and ate half of it.  The remaining half is in the fridge, and I'm going to have some for a quick breakfast, and use one piece as the entree for my dinner I'm taking to work.

Miserable Lungs

So my cold started to turn for the worse yesterday afternoon, and I didn't feel like getting the various parts of my dinner together at the appointed time, so I ordered a "traditional" p'zone (onions, green peppers and sausage) and 8 hot wings from Pizza Hut.  It was a step up for me, as I've gotten into the habit of finding the most economical coupon on a pizza site and ordering accordingly.  I instead chose to focus on a not unreasonable meal and the convenience of not having to cook for myself.

This morning, I woke up feeling even worse.  The cold has mostly decided to leave my head alone, but now I've got some soreness under my nose from all the leaking, and my chest feels like it's half full of fluid.  I woke up coughing a bunch of times last night, and I've got that sore chest/stomach/back muscles thing you get from coughing too much.

Bottom lined: I'm kind of miserable.  I want soup, but I have no desire to leave my home, so I'm going to order some miso and a sweet & sour pork combo plate with wonton soup.  Now, I guess I could order takeout from my deli (which has the actual chicken soup), but the CampusFood website kind of sucks at getting that particular restaurant orders on time, I don't have enough cash for a delivery order, and I hate giving my credit card number on the phone when I'm NOT sick (my voice is just a wee bit off).

Oh, you don't care?  You just want to know what my 'za cost me last night?

Weight:     307.6 lbs
Body Fat: 43.8%

I can live with it, I have to force myself to behave during the week, anyway.  I'm gonna go order my breakfast/lunch now, and see if I can't remove a lung through ballistic gas discharge.

Later, Fatheads.

Saturday Morning Weigh-In

So yesterday, I took a Nutrisystem entree (I can't remember which one) a slice of whole wheat bread, some carrots, some cauliflower, 2 apples and several bottles of G2 with me to work, as is my wont.  I ate the apples and carrots over the course of my shift, but decided to have a treat after I left work around 11:30 since I was staying up late to play the video games.

Unfortunately, "go to Wendy's and order something sensible" turned into "go to Wendy's and order all the things".  I got a Baconator (double/standard) with a large fry and 10 piece nugget.  Clearly, I way overdid it.  That being said:

Weight:     306.6 lbs
Body Fat: 43.4%
Water:      43.3%

I'm still moving in the right direction, so I'll call it a stumbling block.  As I've said before, your body can take the occasional "fuck you", and keep on running.  The danger is that it leads to a feeling that you can get away with anything, which is quickly disproven as soon as you try more than a  meal/day of bad behavior.

So the takeaway from that is that I'm having a nice Nutrisystem Turkey Hot Dog for lunch.

Along with some cauliflower and a piece of whole grain bread (which is part of the serving instructions).  I put some nice brown mustard on it because you are a monster if you just eat plain hotdogs.  At any rate, I'm finishing off my cauliflower now, and will probably take today as a day fo rest to continue recovering from my ailment.  I really need to clean my apartment and unpack from the trip last weekend, but I've put it off for 5 days, so why not 6?

I'll, of course, be playing the video games this evening, and may play some this afternoon, but I kind of want to finish the 3rd Stieg Larsson book, so that I can sit around and be upset that they'll take years to publish his last manuscript, and then be annoyed that it'll probably leave too many unanswered questions, because he had planned like, four more books.

Stupid authors and their dying, I'm looking at you, Robert Jordan!  Don't think I don't see you over there, hiding behind Goodkind!  Yes, that motherfucker ripped you off in many ways and it's obvious.  But some of that shit is such basic fantasy tropes it's hard to make an argument about it.  And you know what else?  He fucking put some resolution into each book while building on a bigger mystery.  Not one of his fucking books was just a thousand pages of "here's more puzzles, no I won't solve any of the ones from the PREVIOUS TEN THOUSAND FUCKING PAGES YOU'VE READ".

So what if it's 95% blatant libertarian propaganda with strong COMMUNISTS WILL KILL US ALL AND TAKE MERKUH undertones overtones, I can find it amusing that he thinks he's Ayn Rand with a wizard hat.  So what if your books are better, the characters make more sense, and your characters aren't inhumanly understanding and forgiving of eachothers "flaws".

Oh wait, I guess that means Jordan's books are actually way better than Goodkind's but far more frustrating.  I mean, Goodkind's aren't necessarily BAD or OFFENSIVE, but they're easy to read and the message is delivered without any real-world context that asks you to really think about it.  The challenges are fairly easily overcome by the characters, deus ex machina abounds, and the hero saves the world through the free-market economy.  Could this mean that easy-to-read books in general are possibly not intellectually stimulating?  Could it in fact be argued that the damned things are actually damaging to your ability to progress cognatious thunk?

Well, I'll let you make up your own mind on that.  But there's no such thing as difficult-to-consume propaganda, and the only purpose of propaganda is to reprogram your fucking brain.

Wait, what the fuck was I talking about?  Oh yeah, I'm on a diet, and this afternoon I was gonna read a book in the sun (I kind of fucking love the South, right now), then shoot aliens in a video game.  Yeah, enjoy your Saturday, Fatheads.

Recovery, Continuing Diet

'Allo, fatheads!  So I managed to get through my full night of work last night, and left a little around 1am.  I had 2 apples, some carrots, and a Nutrisystem Grilled Chicken Breast between 2 slices of bread.  Also: a fuckton of cashews.  I'm now out of desk cashews (I brought the remaining cup or so home with me) so that should put an end to my worst current work snacking habit.

Weight:     309.0 lbs
Body Fat: 43.7%
Water:      43.1%

Weight loss continues, and I grabbed a frozen Nutrisystem Toasted Ham & Cheese for breakfast/lunch at about 11.

 
I rather enjoyed it, and ate that last cup of cashews to wash it down (THEY MUST BE CONSUMED).  So I'm now back to an 8-hour schedule at work, so 2:30ish to 11 tonight, and after that, REACH.  Maybe I should try to head in early so I can REACH earlier.  Later, Fatheads!

Illness, Misery, Of The Light Side Are These?

So I feel like crap, still, but I'm in the morning phase of it, so I feel better than I will later.  That's something, I suppose?

Weight:     310.0 lbs
Body Fat: 44.1%
Water:      42.8%

Well, now that's nice to see.  I guess I'll move on to last night.  I took 2 apples, some carrots, a Nutrisystem Chicken Breast, some bread and a few olives with me to work.  I only ate the apples and some cashews from my desk.  I left work early because I was feeling like so much shit, and got home around 9.  When I got home, I had a grilled cheese sandwich, some sugarfree Twizzlers and a couple of pieces of Nutrisystem Ice Cream, for my miserable throat.

I got up this (late) morning, and had a Nutrisystem Frozen Meatball Parmesan Melt, along with a Nutrisystem Ice Cream Sandwich.  It was pretty good, and I'm now ready to hit the showers and try my hand at another 10-hour workday.  Worst case scenario: I take the rest of my sick leave and come home early.


Fatass is on the move.

Weigh In, First Night Back

So I'm on a really terrible schedule right now, because I need to flex schedule to make up for some time I took off.  This means I worked from 2:30 to about 1am last night.  I had to run to the store, then fell asleep around 4, and I woke up at 10am. 

So that's what it is, moving on to yesterday's food.  For breakfast, I had a PB&J sandwich around noon.
 

To work last night, I took carrots, 2 small apples, 5 olives and a Nutrisystem Orange Chicken Breast With Vegetables and Rice meal.  It was alright.  I also snacked on way too many cashews that I have at my desk.  I may have to throw them away.  I'm coming down with a bit of a cold, so I'm not really enjoying much of anything right now.

Oh look, a boat.  On that note, it's time for me to grab lunch...

I feel like crap, but my Nutrisystem Select frozen lunch was pretty great.  I had the Chicken Quesadilla, and it was a good meal.

"You Used To Update Your BLOG!"

Fine, shut up, here's an update.  Had a great weekend with old friends celebrating the death of someone's manhood, which was, necessarily, bad for me and the immortal souls of everyone involved.

Weight:     315 lbs
Body Fat: 44.7%
Water:      42.3%

So we find ourselves here, with a few weeks to a wedding and my "not as ludicrously fat" clothes feeling a bit tight.  I'm going off the booze until the wedding, and then continuing not drinking until New Year's.

I'm on a bad schedule right now, since I need to make up for some time I took off for weekend travel, but here's roughly what I'm thinking:

9am wakeup/breakfast
10am workout
12pm lunch/shower
2pm work
6pm dinner
11pm home
1am bed

It's a bit off, but I think I can force myself to make it work.  I'd fucking better, I got fitted for my dinner jacket 8 lbs ago.  My rough goal is to get below 295 in the next 18 days.  It's just good to be back in the space of public self-humiliation.  Well, in a more quantifiable way than I've been recently.  Here's a pretty picture:
