======================================
Earlier this morning, my self inflicted doom starts countdown. Because I was growing conscious of my BMI, I felt compelled to action. And that action is to challenge myself not to spend beyond 100 pesos for food on a school day. There could be no better time to manage my weight since we also have this weight-loss program at our local college. Because of that and because of the desperate attempt to come up with something to blog about, I feel motivated.

Perhaps at this point, the objective is clear. I can only spend 100 pesos for food. Getting food for free doesn't make me violate my sworn statement. I don't get much food at home because most of them need cooking and I am the earliest person to wake up in bed. Add the fact that I can't cook much so rest assured I go to school with only bread and hot choco. But my strategies to accomplish my goal need a seperate blog entry so we will stop with this.

As for today's experience, I think I was able to manage because the stress week of exams and all is over. From my related entry, I mentioned that stress contributes to me being a chow-king and now that there is a significant decrease of stress levels, my hunger pangs were benign. In fact, at the moment that I am writing this blog entry, I feel unstressed. Evidence to the fact that I am unstressed is me being able to make a blog entry for 3 straight days.

So, I was able to get over Day 01, More hurdles to come. I'll end this blog entry with a music video from one of my favorite bands, Bamboo.
