day 2: there is a glimmer of hope

i woke up today exhausted and sore. exhausted because with all the adrenaline pumping in my body last night, i couldn't sleep til 4 in the morning. while exhausted, i was excited to be completely sore. it was a sign that something good must be taking place in my body. (just for the morning) i had become a believer in "no pain, no gain". as sore as i was, i was shattered not able to see me chiseled abs in the mirror. (see picture below of what my abs looked like this morning. ok, i'm too lazy, just look at day 0 pics, it's the same)

(will, don't get too excited yet) ... i've got a secret workout routine i haven't started, i just have to figure out what it is ...

wait a minute, this posting was intended to discuss "a glimmer of hope" ... while i didn't wake up to chiseled abs, i did feel less bloated during the day at the office ... that is a sign that i'm burning fat ... is it not? ...

(forgot to mention, i took 2 huge dumps today after being constipated for 2 days, i think the fiber is kicking in)

alright, i'm going no where (no ... obviously not about my abs ... but about my writing) ... so here it is ... this is the epiphany ... i'm lengthening the time it takes to get me 6 pack ... well, theoretically only ... the bet is still on and i need me 6 pack by next friday ... but ... i'm going to workout twice a day ... by working out twice a day, morning and night, i can cheat my body to believe i've got 18 days to workout! ... that's brilliant! ...

ok, so now u know my secret workout routine ... here's to report progress today ...


today's intake
breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs (160 calorie), 1/2 bacon (100 calorie), pb toast (150 calorie), cubes of mellon (75 calorie) (485 calorie)
snack 1: banana (62 calorie)
snack 2: apple (47 calorie)
lunch: 1/2 greek salad, 1/2 black bean soup, 1 bite of baguette (610 calorie)
dinner: rainbow roll (300 calories), salmon (100 calories) & yellowtail sashimi (100 calories)
snack 3: high protein peanut butter cereal bar (140 calorie)
water: 2.5 liters (0 calorie)
supplements: centrum & ginseng (0 calorie?)

total calorie: 1844 (previously, i calculated 2144, but i think i overestimated the sushi calories so i shaved off 300 calories)

will gave me the ginseng pill, so i'm not sure if it's suppose to be good for me or not ... i'm just kidding, the ginseng should be good, i think it's helped me with the caffeine withdrawal cuz so far i haven't felt any withdrawal symptoms ...

i spoke to my coworker today about the 6-pack challenge ... he said controlling what and when u eat is critical, a good rule of thumb is not to eat after 7pm ... so, at 6pm sharp today, i packed up my bags and headed for dinner ... (it's 10:15pm and i'm not sure if he's still working at the office, but his advice was good)

also, i got this link from pam ... i guess from reading my blog, she's suggesting i take matters to professional hands ... (hey, have some confidence in me!)
