Food Journal - Day 1

I woke up at 6:55 am so i barely met the 30 minute deadline.  Tomorrow i'll make this the first priority instead of hopping in the shower.  Here's what i consumed today:  

7:25 am - two servings hemp protein powder in water

10:00 am - handful of almonds

11:05 am - piece of candy

1:30 pm - pork loin chop w/ A1 (only ate half), multivitamin, fish oil capsules

4:50 pm - Handful of almonds

7:15 pm - chicken breast w/ turmeric powder, lettuce with cherry tomatoes, onion, and extra virgin olive oil & vinegar dressing

9:45 pm (Before bed) - three capsules ZMA

Throughout the day i drank:

Water - 108 oz 
Black coffee - 40 oz

I usually just drink black coffee all day, but today i forced myself to drink a cup of water before i allowed myself to refill each time.  Needless to say, i was in and out of the men's room quite often.  20 ounces in, 20 ounces out it seemed.  My bladder should get used to all the extra water within the next couple of days.

Food Journal - Intro

Timed nicely to fall between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and on the back of the Physical Fitness 21 day challenge, i'm going on a diet.  In my mind, it's the next logical step in reaching my "Body" goals.

I plan to take a picture of every meal that i eat over the next 21 days and post them at the end of the day.

I'm getting my dieting advice primarily from The Primal Blueprint by Mark Sisson and The Slow Carb Diet by Tim Ferriss but technically i'll not be following either one.

The 5 Basic Rules:

1. Eat breakfast and drink a pint of water within 30 minutes of waking up.
2. 3 meals per day with snacks/protein/green juice in between meals as needed.
3. Severely limit processed foods.  The closer to nature the better.
4. Don't drink calories. (one or two glasses of red wine per day permitted)
5. One cheat day per week where anything goes. I choose Saturday. (Fatterday)

I'll supplement with a multi-vitamin, fish oil, ZMA, and hemp protein.

I currently weigh around 184 and hope to lose around 10 pounds in the next three weeks.
