The Reason Why I’m Out: Because I’m a Coward.

I really truly believed I could have gone all the way. Honestly, I probably could have if everybody else did. However, I’m a sucker for peer pressure. I don’t like structure in anything I do, let alone with what I eat. Also, I was not feeling myself. I forgot to mention my irritability on the 2nd day because it sounded like everyone was doing well…but I was not doing well. I had a terrible headache and had to take a nap mid-homework. I woke up basically crying. I don’t want to say it is because of my caffeine addiction (I usually go 3 -4 days without caffeine) but my body was going through some kind of withdrawal that was not pleasant. The next day I was so cranky that all I thought about was going home and going to bed. I wasn’t craving anything. I wasn’t really anything at all. Web.md would have diagnosed me with Mild Hypoglycemia, and yeah, maybe I did have low blood sugar (but the only hypo I am is an occasional hypochondriac).

So there you have it, I lost to this:

A Phish Food Milkshake!

Like I said before, I didn’t lose by myself. In fact, I was the third one to taste a delicious Ben and Jerry’s milkshake. As you may know now, Remi and Geneva went out minutes before me. Unfortunately, while they were enjoying some amazing Gorgonzola french fries, I had to go back to work…

ALTHOUGH…after work, I made my arch nemesis drive me to Steer Inn so I could get a grilled cheese and french fries (they have the best fast food grilled cheeses in Spokane, just ask to get it on a french bun). Then, I proceeded to eat a billion chocolate-covered pretzels and pass out (it was wonderful). Like Geneva mentioned in her blog, I advise the remaining contenders not to do something like this because your body will hate you more than you will ever know.

I’m excited I did this competition and to eat more non-processed foods. I actually enjoyed getting creative and making stuff I normally would not have (and by that I mean, the stuffed peppers, and that’s it). Plus, it will help me train for that marathon that I’m planning on doing.

Good luck everyone (by everyone I mean Mark S, Mark G, and Andrew)!
