Life has remained busy -- Jon's brother was here for a total of two weeks, so about half of this eating is from when he was still here and the routine of my life was severely disrupted, meaning the the routine of blogging was also severely disrupted. After that, I was daunted by the volume of updating (and grading!) I had to do, so...I put it off. Here, void of narrative (and even dates) is a good portion of my food intake since the last post, but not all of it.
The idea for this blog came from Tucker Shaw's book, Everything I Ate: A Year in the Life of my Mouth. The premise of the book is that the author photographs and records every single thing he eats...for an entire year. I don't think it was a weight loss thing for him, but as I flipped through I thought, "I would be so embarrassed if everyone knew how much I ate and what I ate."
Fast forward a few years. Graduate school was not kind to my figure, and since an extensive exercise routine is simply out of the question (I'm lazy), making my eating habits open to public ridicule seems like the best way to force myself to change. So please -- ridicule away as I chronicle everything I eat.
