$1 Diet Day 7 Breakfast

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

Some interesting things to update you on today.

1. Second degree bathroom was closed all yesterday much to my disappointment.  However, shortly after breakfast, we reopened for business.

2. I woke up down 7 pounds this morning, and this was before I took my bathroom break, so I imagine that tomorrow may be even better.

3.  I have now show up on google search results.  What are people searching for that they are finding my site?  “Puke Torture”.  Three different people have searched that term and ended up here.  How bizarre is that?

4.  In considering my upcoming experiments, I thought it might be fun to only eat up to the money generated by the site each day.  That may be funny to see me slowly starve to death if no one ever clicked on any ads.  Then at the end I could be eating lobster dinners each meal just to use up the money each day.

5.  The next experiment will actually have a video component, so that should be fun.

On to breakfast.  For breakfast, I repeated last night’s successful meal of corn pone.  I started the day still owing $0.09, so that gives me $0.91 for today.  Breakfast (remember secret recipe that you can purchase below) cost me $0.34.

So now I have $0.57 to sustane me through the rest of the day.  Not too difficult I think.  Below, even though you saw the pics of the same thing yesterday, I am including the pics of breakfast.

Still yummy

$1 Diet Day 4 Lunch

Saturday, April 4th, 2009

Oddly enough, with skipping breakfast, I was able to make it until 11 am until I gave in to the urge to consume lunch.  My guess is that I am physically more active at home than I am during the work week.  For lunch today, the cheap pasta is finally at my disposal.

For lunch:

4 ounces of spaghetti  $0.20

1 ounce of spaghetti $0.04

Granted I still have room for more, but I am trying to knock the need to compensate for Friday out of the way by the end of the weekend.  I do think my stomach is shrinking, because I found this to be satisfying.

I am finding as I go through this day my desire to stay on course waning.  I hope I can overcome and keep up through the end of the month, but in my head I keep asking, “What is the point?”  It seems odd to me to be hitting this wall so early in the experiment.

For those who are tracking the baser side of things, it seems since yesterday morning that second degree bathrooming is once again unavailable.  Clearly the massive caloric reduction due to the diet is causing less outgo need.  Maybe once my body adjusts to the new calorie standard, things will regulate themselves once again.

As of last night, I was $1.17 in the hole for my eating.

  • -$1.17- yesterday
  • +$1.00- today’s allotment
  • - $0.00- breakfast
  • - $0.24- lunch
  • ______________
  • -$0.41- still needed to make up

I hope to stay on the same regimen with supper to get me within shooting distance for tomorrow.
