ENTRY 5.

October 21st. I gotta get in shape. Too much sitting has ruined my body. Too much abuse has gone on for too long. No more bad food, no more destroyers of my body. From now on it will be total organization. Every muscle must be tight.

Here's the course of action going forward:

• Get out more. Sitting in one place is bad for me and it makes me feel bad.
• Try to exercise more. I need to do this, it's crucial for losing weight.
• Eat better. I'll find resources for what i can and can't eat and put them here for orginization.
• Start keeping a journal. Tracking all this will be crucial. This is the first entry. I'll set reminders to update this weekly.

Here's the plan for tomorrow. Wake up, try to do as many situps and pushups as I can. I'll try to get to 50. Eat, bathe, then get out of the house. Contact Akil on the way. Picking up groceries tomorrow will be perfect because I'll be able to get food for myself aswell. I'll try to restrict myself to 3 meals a day. I'll sit with discomfort when I get hungry.

I should also try to find a set of weights that isn't to heavy but isn't light. I feel like my strength has gone since a few years ago.

From now on I'll try to keep a goal in mind. Make myself the man I want to be, instead of this who I am currently.

Here's some things I know I can eat:

• Salmon, Trout, Cod, etc.
• Chicken, beef.
• Eggs.
• Broccoli, Lettuce, Cucumber, Bell Pepper, Avocados.
• Tofu can also work.

I need to be sure to eat things that are fatty, but not *too* fatty. I can still eat chicken skin, but not bacon.

Here's some things to avoid:

• All breads, crackers, and pasta.
• Sugary things like ice cream or cookies. no more desert for me.
• Things like rice are decieving. They seem like they'd be fine to eat but no.
• No more potatoes either.

I need to research more on low-carb diets aswell as exercise routines for losing weight. I need to stop myself on this downward spiral I've been on for the past few years. Fight throught the pain, work harder, live better.

Final thoughts of the night: I need new friends. I need to get better. I need to bite through it.
