Well, gotta keep myself honest. I need to write this stupid craptacular novel. Have the premise, characters, setting, etc. Hate the fact that I do. Expunging my brain of these half-baked plot points would be very good for me, especially if I wish to become a better programmer. I need to have a clear brain, so here I go. Let the dump of memory begin!

I have already lost 10 pounds since last March, want to lose 10 more. The holiday season is certainly a tricky time; went to a big dinner yesterday. I ate well, but didn’t overdo it. I still have to stick to my Time Budget of Food. This is how I did lose that first 10 and have been able to keep it off for six months. No diet was ever able to do this. So, my goals for this first period is
1-Keep the time budget for each day. 40 minute limit for breakfast, 40 minute limit for lunch, 40 minute limit for dinner. This is the only baseline rule I follow; diets go in and out
2-Stay away from white sugar; bad for the skin
3-Drink 60 oz. of H20 per diem
4-One soup a day
5-No meat on weekdays
Okie, that does it for this week.
I guess I have misgivings about my skill level as a budding computer programmer. Class certainly doesn’t alleviate this inflammation of doubt. I did declare this major in the hope that the action would spur a greater amount of diligence and dedication to the craft, overcoming my lack of natural talent in this area. Only a semester is left in my collegiate career, and I have a mounting sense of trepidation. Holy shit, how am I going to survive in the real world if I can’t survive in class?
