Day 22
I realize this day (22) seems like a huge jump, but I just realized that I haven't been jumping numbers on Jour de Farce days. So there's that.
"What about yesterday's blog, Luke?" you may be asking. Well, I'll be honest, I was totally off the wagon yesterday.
I didn't go crazy or anything. Well, I did a little. I figured my first breakfast in the new place should be substantial. I made scratch biscuits and gravy with eggs and bacon. Then a sandwich and left over pizza. No excuses. I just got lazy.
Back on it today. Sort of. This is my last week and I can tell you from experience that (TMI WARNING) jumping right back into a regular diet will wreck your insides.
Today:
Breakfast:
Eggs
Black beans
Salsa
Lunch 1:
Chicken tortilla soup
Lunch 2:
Green salad with bacon, turkey, tomato
Dinner (here's where I start to get back to reality):
Goulash- ground beef, pasta shells, and tomato sauce
I'm down 12 pounds.

Day 18
Well, the wheels came off today. It had to happen. Here's what went down.
Breakfast:
Veggie egg scramble at work
Snack:
Tasting various items at work, as I always do.
And that was it before we started to move. Three stories up and down I don't know how many times.
We got moved in. Went to the store for some stuff. We picked up some dinner.... and that's where the wheels came off.
Starving. Tired. I broke down and we got Pei Wei. Mongolian Beef! Egg Rolls! Crab Rangoon! It was GLORIOUS!
It was a moment of desperation and weakness. I will pay a small pentence tomorrow by not going 100% bananas. I'll just go like 98% bananas.

Day 15
The struggle is now getting difficult. With moving, we haven't really gone to the store, or had time to get creative cooking, and as previously mentioned, eating out (quickly) is really tough.
Breakfast:
3 whites + 2 yolks (lame, I know)
Lunch1:
Tuna with a little mayo and dijon
Lunch 2:
Leftover pork with a salad
Snack at work:
Peanuts
Late Dinner:
Peanut butter and celery
I felt pretty cruddy yesterday. Not sure what the cause was. I don't want to blame the diet, because it seems like I would have felt cruddy the whole time I've been on it. It was a pretty calorie deficient day, but I felt like crud before I was really low on calories. Hopefully it was just allergies. We'll see!
