My slambook of nutrition...days 2, 3, 4, & 5

For those of you old enough to remember the concept of biker shorts as casual wear, members' only jackets, Vanilla Ice, parachute pants, "Welcome to the Jungle", words like "cyke", and 'Weird Science' will know the idea behind a slambook. Well this past week has been pretty hard on not falling back to old habits of eating past 8pm and eating whatever is around without thinking of the health debt I incur. The term, "Health Debt", is a term I coined to measure the detriment to a proper diet, in this case, in Calories. For the goals I set at the beginning of the week, my recommended daily caloric intake is 1600 calories. So far its been ok but DAAAAAAMN!!! Filipino cooking is sooooo good! FOOOD GREASE!!! As my vietnamese buddies would say, "GIOT DANG DAT GUD!" and oh don't get me started about Pho...because Pho is the king of soups! Pho King good!

So my diet slambook goes as follows w/ commentary:

11/14/08: day 5 of this crap....and then the big test of downtown San Diego...no alcohol and no eating after 8pm. I think whoever is out to get me will make their strongest strike tonight! CURSE YOU!!! I NEED THE KING OF SOUPS! I NEED PHO KING!
