The Orange Man Project

Day 3

What Happened

Strangely, I woke up at 8:00 am again today. What is up with that? Fortunately I was able to stay in bed until 8:30 am before giving up and getting up. I really do feel that this is all somehow linked to the carrots. Perhaps by "organic" they simply mean, "contains anti-sleeping drugs." More work and class again today. Not exciting by any means. Not nearly as exciting as yesterday. Oh, I forgot to bring carrots with me again, so I was forced to buy some between work and class. A little 1 lb bag of organic baby carrots. I also picked up a bottle of water to prevent the whole 'dehydration' thingy. I don't know if I can keep up so many trips to the urinal and maintain my sanity.

Oh, the carrots and water cost $3.38 together. Pricey water and such, but still a heck of a lot cheaper than I would normally spend getting food at Sonic or some place. Those are usually around $10 for a trip.

I just want to point out how sexy I am looking. I'm thinking this will be my pose of choice. Between the sunlight, and my brightest, whitest skin (located just under my pants leg) I am practically glowing. I do get out in the sun every now and then so I'm guessing that if you're going to see some orange, it's going to be here. If I had some jogging shorts, I could show some serious skin. Maybe I should put that on my to-do list?

Eating Schedule

I ate about 3 full sized carrots this morning around 9:30 am. Good stuff. I didn't eat next until about 4:30 pm when I picked up all of those baby carrots. By 5:30 pm I had eaten all of the carrots and drunk all of the 1.5 liter bottle of water. By 8:30 pm I had drunk another 1.5 liters. Once at home, I ate another two full sized carrots.

How I Felt

I think I generally felt less hungry than yesterday. I'll attribute this to the fact that my eating schedule was much more regular. I seriously doubt anything like my stomach shrinking would have played a part due to the sheer amount of carrots I eat in a single sitting. I need to find a way to eat small amounts of carrots throughout the entire day. My head still feels funny. I don't have a headache, but it isn't to far off. It doesn't hurt, but it feels like one is coming on. The problem is that I've felt this way since Monday. At least I was able to stay awake through all of my class tonight. A few yawns during a lecture isn't bad, at least it isn't bad for me.

I thought I would also note that I've felt a little chilly. Maybe this is because it has been getting a little cooler here, or maybe my body is generating less heat? Is this how skinny people feel in air conditioning? I don't know. But I do know that if they find my cold dead body someplace, the temperature will totally throw off the crime scene timeline. If that happens, how will the people on CSI figure out who dun it?

Weight Measurement

I just took my vitamin and weighed in at 241.2 lbs. Up from yesterday. I guess that "eating" instead of "starving" is a good way to keep from wasting away.
