Exercise: Walking around Wal-Mart trying to navigate the toothless, unshaven zombies that were wandering aimlessly until they eventually keel over and die in this town, otherwise known as the edge of the earth.

Lots of calories and fat today. I kind of expected that. I went shopping and spent $67 on groceries, which was also expected but kind of upsetting. I’m poor. I don’t have that kind of money to spend. Oh well, being healthy isn’t cheap.

But the good news is that I went shopping at all. I hadn’t done that in a few weeks. Because of that, since I got home Thursday, I have been to Subway six times. Today was the first time I didn’t go. I think things get totally back to normal Monday when I try to really begin this whole thing all over again. I’ve been eating pretty well the last few days, but not within the rhythm I’d like. Since Thursday I think I have only eaten three times each day and two of those were Subway. Then today I had a little treat with the calories. (By the way, this would have been a perfect day if I was already down to 270. This is actually the kind of eating that I would want to do on a regular basis. Not overly healthy, but certainly not unhealthy. I still burned more calories than I ate and I enjoyed pretty much all of it.)

So now, with food in the fridge and a normal schedule until the foreseeable future, I am poised and ready to go with the stretch run of the 100 days plan.

I have decided that, since 100 pounds in 100 days won’t happen, I will keep doing the blog for the duration of the 100 pounds. Initially, the idea was to cut it off after 100 days, but since a lot of people really seem to be into this quest, I have no problem whoring myself out for another month or so. So look forward to that.

Oh, one semi major development Saturday. I went to the local Kohls (Which is just a short 90 mile-drive from the edge of the earth) and was looking for jeans. I am proud to say that I was able to buy off the rack for the first time since I can remember. And I wasn’t even at Kohl’s Big and Tall store. It was just Kohls. (I went to Kohls because it was close to the phone store, which is the main reason I made the trip. Normally I am an Old Navy guy.) So they had my size – 44x32 – and I shelled out my $20 and went home happy.

I got nothing else today, so I will keep it short. I’ll be back tomorrow. With a weigh in and probably some nugget of brilliance.
