1. I have a raging headache, and have for weeks. It's become so normal to me that I keep forgetting to take something for it!
2. I sometimes worry that people will think I'm a hypochondriac because something's always wrong with me. I'm always exhausted, commonly have a headache, and get sick easily--it's not in my head! (Or is it?)
3. I'm starting to settle and think that P90X might be a good idea, and I'm totally just realizing that it's only been a few days since I first thought of it. >.> Slow down!
4. I don't like eating every couple of hours because it makes me feel fat and like I'm eating a ton!
5. I cut myself in the shower this morning after only shaving one leg, so the rest of my shaving experience consisted of my hanging my cut leg out the shower door and trying to shave the other without dying. >.>

Day 3
I'm already getting lazy with this food journal thing. But I keep reminding myself that if I can't keep track of what I eat for a week then it is, indeed, a sad day. So I'm continuing. Hoo-rah! Yesterday's entry was pretty loose anyways, as we went out and drank last night. I don't usually drink very often because I'm so busy/tired with school, so it was a special occassion and I don't really know what was in/how much was in the drinks I had. ^^;
I find I eat a ton more when I`m not in school. Being at the University for what, 8 hours in a day, I didn`t usually eat during that period--we never bought anything that was really easy to bring to school, and I couldn`t afford to buy anything. The past month or so I brought breakfast--yogurts and bagels and fruit. But that lasted me throughout the day...now I eat every couple of hours. Just something small--some fruit, again, or a fibre bar. Boredom eating!
Still looking into P90X. From what I can tell, it won`t be too hard on my knee--Tony, the trainer associated with the training program, apparently offers low-impact exercises and alternatives for people with knee problems. I might borrow it from my brother and see...I know it would be a huge undertaking, and I don`t want to try it only to give up--I want to make a decision beforehand and stick to it. I would be ashamed to back out, especially knowing how difficult it is ahead of time. It`s a commitment, and as long as I tell myself I can`t do it I won`t be able to...
Right now, I plan on waiting until my job situation is more finalized...READ: Until I actually HAVE a job. But I should start soon. Summer`s the best time for me to do all of this, really, and 90 days--three months--would already overlap into September...I really need to get started.
I went online and I`m trying to figure out my recommended daily calorie and fat intakes.
Calorie: 1721 calories (assuming I`m sedentary, which I`m really not...only some days. ;) )
Fat: 48 g fat (assuming I`m eating 1721 calories per day..), or 42 g fat assuming I`m eating 1500 calories a day (my current average)

Commitment
I'm trying to figure out what exercise regime to go with. My mom uses Jillian Michaels, which is a 30-day thing which she just continued after the 30 days. She's been doing good on it, but I'm concerned that my raging knee problems lately would be tough to get around because it doesn't offer any low-impact alternatives for knee problems. That and I think that it would be easier to lose motivation on that one--I'm not a huge fan of watching peppy girls prance around, you know?
My brother's recommending P90X, which is incredibly more intense than that one. It's a very big commitment, that one, and I do worry a little that it would be too much for me. I did the fitness "test" that accompanies it and I passed (though I can't do any pullups, but it notes that it isn't absolutely necessary for that one. It wasn't a hard test, though (15 from-the-knee-up pushups, jumping vertically, etc.), but I think that knowing how far gone some people are it really could be a challenging test for some people. It looks like it offers low-impact options. The biggest problem for me is how long it is per day. I don't know if I could do that one until I figure out my work schedule and see the hours I'd be working and such.
I could make up my own routine, but I just don't know where to start and I'd rather get in on a program and deviate and adjust it to my needs than to make my own from scratch.
Still watching my food options. Yesterday was weird--I was hungry every couple of hours! I'm hoping my stomach slows down today. >.>
Today:
- Astro ZERO Yogurt --- 40 cal, 0, g fat
- Nature Valley Fibre Source Honey Almond --- 130 cal, 3 g fat
- SunRype Apple Chips (Cinnamon) --- 40 cal, 0 g fat
- Sandwich from Motherly [2 slices homemade whole wheat bread, turkey, tomato, lettuce, cucumber] --- 438 cal, 3.75 g fat
- Ice Cream Sandwich --- 150 cal, 5 g fat (not actually sure on this one, I just went with a middle value!)
- Sprite --- 200 cal, 0 g fat
- Pork Kabob --- 150 cal, approx 5 g fat (estimation)
- White Rice --- 320 cal, 0 g fat
- Lots of Alcohol....:P
TOTAL: 1368 cal, 16.75 g fat (PLUS alcohol....:P)

Fitness
I'm trying to get fit.
With a persistent knee "injury" (I might refer to it as that, but it's really just a problem with the kneecap tracking improperly and damaging the cartilage), I find it hard to exercise properly, and being a University student I find it hard to eat right.
But I'm only 18 once. I'm tired all of the time, I'm embarrassed at my body, and I'm definitely starting to realize that this is all only going to happen once...and I want to be happy with my body, before I turn 19. My birthday isn't until February of next year, so we're going to see what I can do before then. C:
Every day I'll be posting what I eat, and monitoring my calorie intake. The first few days will be mostly to get an idea of when and what I've been eating already, while the days after that will start to reflect what I should be eating. Over the past months I've taken some good steps, but I'm going to aim for multiple small meals in a day (when I can), and healthy alternatives. We'll see, I suppose. ^^;
I'm just chasing my freedom, and seeing where it will lead me!
Today:
- Subway Oven-Roasted Chicken Breast (6-inch) with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and bbq sauce on whole wheat --- 370 cal, 8.5 g fat,
- Apple Chips --- 40 cal, 0 g fat
- Nature Valley Apple Cobbler Fibre Bar --- 120 cal, 2 g fat
- Nestea Iced Tea --- 207 cal, 0 g fat
- Tomato Soup --- 250 cal, 2 g fat
- Milk (1%, Approximately 2.5 cups) --- 300 cal, 6 g fat
- Veggies (3/4 cup) --- 25 cal, 0 g fat
- Perogies (Cheddar and Potato) --- 225 cal, 2.7 g fat
TOTAL: 1537 calories, 21.2 g fat [This was a food-heavy day for me, however, because it was an exam day and I ate a much higher calorie and fat breakfast than normal. I normally have yogurt and fruit or something. ^^;]
