DAY 1 of PLAN A

On Saturday, my goal was to be closer to 1000 calories.

I did manage to stay under 1500 calories.

I didn't 'forget' not to eat chocolate.

And any chocolate that I might have eaten, which I didn't, I didn't forget to log in my food diary.

Day 1 of Plan A was a success.

Something that I really do not understand.

I did step on the scale this morning, Sunday.

My weight was 241.0 lbs.

I am well aware that I did not lose 4 pounds in one day.

Only because it seems mathematically and physiologically nearly impossible and certainly unlikely.

However, if I am going to believe my scale when it annoys me, Saturday 245.2 lbs, am I not compelled to believe same scale on the following day when it registers 241.0 lbs?

The plan today is to continue to greatly reduce my caloric intake over where it has been for the past weeks and months. In fact, this is the plan for at least a long string of days.

President Trump has been in office for one day, and the country survived Day 1. Remember, I am a supporter, but I must confess that nearly anything is possible with this guy in office. Apparently the biggest concern of Trump yesterday was worrying too much about the size of the crowds reported by the dishonest media. If Trump is going to go bonkers about every lie told about the media, he is going to be busy indeed. The only time that the media report a story accurately is when there is some kind of typo in the story that accidentally makes a story true.

People stand on the National Mall to listen to the 58th Presidential Inauguration for

President Donald Trump at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, Friday, January 20

Yesterday, was my personal Day 1 as I have (finally) decided to get serious (again) about managing my caloric intake. Yesterday I did not eat any chocolate (or conveniently forget to log chocolate that I did eat) and as a result I broke a cycle of overeating that I have been engaged in for far too long. A 'streak' of one day isn't much, but even Joe DiMaggio had to get that first hit before he continued his unbreakable hitting streak for 55 additional games.

I really can't get to obsessed with how big Trump's crowds were for his inauguration. I am simply grateful that the crowds for Trump's inauguration were larger than the crowds for Hillary Clinton's inauguration.

I have been thinking about all the morons marching and protesting carrying signs claiming that Trump was not their president. As you can see by the above map, President Donald J Trump is actually president of the entire population of all 50 states, so I wonder where all these morons live
