i can’t help but be surprised at the amount i ate and drank last night, and the fact that i stayed out until 4 am. luckily i don’t spaced the beer out enough that i don’t really have a hangover, but my body is definitely not real happy with me. i guess this was the best time to do it, since i start school tomorrow.

me and some of my co-workers are going to see a Mariner’s game tonight. Ichiro is two away from breaking George Sisler’s ~80 yr record, and it would be super sweet if we were able to see it happen.

i’m still a little confused, but mostly fascinated. since it is very fresh in my memory what real hunger feels like, i can tell the difference between when i’m naturally hungry and when i’m craving foods. and i crave much more often than i’m genuinely hungry! yesterday i gave in a few times but i hope to find the willpower to keep that to a minimum.

since my fast, i have been consuming far less food. the strange thing is that i don’t feel that hungry (except before i eat) and i don’t feel any loss of energy. in fact, i think i feel much more energetic. the important thing is that i continue to refine my diet and eat healthy and that i stick with it.

after fasting, i’m much more attuned to when my body is hungry and when i’m just bored. plus, the idea of having a cleaner system has me more interested in going all the way and combining exercise with proper diet. who knows, i might have a healthy body one of these days… ;)

i was relaxing last night when i received a phone call from Alex asking me where i was and that they were at “Hootie’s.” at first was confused, then realized that it was Tony’s bachelor party and i had completely forgot. i was convinced it was the day before the wedding. after cursing at myself a bit, i put on some decent clothes and drove to Hooter’s. in restrospect, i didn’t have to eat anything at all.
