Diet Progress

Good times. Really. I keep telling myself that.

I haven't been as on-top-of-the-situation regarding my diet as I'd like, however I continue to make progress. As of this morning I am at 286, my lowest thus far. I haven't been keeping written record of everything like I was months ago, however I am being a lot more conscious of what I'm stuffing my face with (if you want to call < 2000 calories/day "stuffing your face").

A few observations, however, have made my progress from here on a bit easier to consider:

• Less fat = easier to directly control my weight (faster response)
• More protein = easier on my system to process food (fuel for muscles to build and function)
• Never consume more than 800 calories in a single meal/snack event

Furthermore, I've discovered a delicious and fat-free snack at my local Tops grocery store. They sell these rice snacks in the bulk foods aisle. They contain soy, rice, sesame, chili peppers and seaweed. They are slightly salty and ever-so-slightly spicy. Quite delicious and zero fat.
