(1 cup) Americone Dream Ice Cream

The ice cream is about 500 calories all by itself. I really messed my diet up today with that part of it. The tragedy of it is that I really wasn't hungry for the ice cream; I just wanted the comfort of it.

07-13-18 Lost Day
I did not log my food for this particular Friday. Maybe another lunch at McDonald's and a Dinner at Subway? This is as good a place as any to note that one thought that I have been having over and over again is that every day in my life I have lived is gone forever. Life moves forward. Every success or failure is locked in the past and will never return. Sure, the consequences and results of earlier choices may remain and carry into the future, but the days themselves are gone, gone, gone.

I ate my pita while walking two blocks back to my car, where it was parked at the center. Maybe all of this was too much food / too many calories, but I am working with the theory that is is better to eat "natural" foods since it will provide better nutrients that whatever happens to be in a McDonald's french fry.

7-8-18 Summary
Eating twice a day at different fast food restaurants is wrong. However, I fully intended to cook myself dinner, but my roommates needed the kitchen, and then I chose to watch a movie with them. When all that was over, it was 10 pm, so it made more sense to just go out and get something quick rather than spend a lot of time cooking and messing up the dishes.

7-5-18 Update
Okay - so all my plans for this blog went out of the window. But, its limited scope and impulse for writing it was pretty good. I may try to rekindle it somehow, even if it ends up not being like it was before. For example, totting up the calories at the end of the day was an act of supreme guesswork. For example, tracking down the right amount of calories for an item I couldn't find on the internet, and did not knowing the serving sizes of, was impossible. The calorie totals therefore could end up as fantasies in my favor, a work of supreme fiction.
Aside from that, I now have a phone app that supposed can track my calories and weight for me. In the year I have used it, I have not lost much weight, but that is mostly because I did not stick to using it in the way it was intended. I am going to try again, but not with an eye to forcing myself to do it, but with an eye of changing a broader behavior that creates, maintains, and inspires a routine. It seems logical to assume that on the path to change, there will be stops and starts. This will be another start after a stop of four years. At least, I hope it will be.
I am also going to maybe use this blog as way to track what I eat, if not how much or how many calories. The phone app is not the best tool for looking back at the history of your meals like writing it down in a blog could be. Therefore, this blog again. After four years. Let's see if we can get any insights through regular use.
