So I calorie counted for a week, just out of curiosity for what I was actually consuming each day, and the week in general.
Of course, just like the observer effect in quantum physics, seeing what I was consuming made me more conscientious of what and how much I was putting into my body.
As a result, I'm actually 7lbs (0.45kg) lighter than I was a week ago. My burgeoning DadBod was already out the door a long while ago, but it feels nice to see progress continuing as what's left gradually keeps slimming down.
Of course, the results aren't perfect. Due to snow I missed some time at work (which affected both calorie consumption and expenditure), and only just started the new 4-day gym routine at my girlfriend's behest (up from a 3-day routine), so I think I'm going to keep track this week too.

I'm definitely curious to see how my body reshapes itself in the coming year as I exercise even more, expand the muscle groups I'm exercising, and watch my calories more. I really do want to share some thotty thirst posts with you again at some point, while I'm still young enough to do it. I've always envied the models here their ability to be confident in showcasing their bodies and sexual confidence for people to see, and always felt joy in the past when I could not only do the same, but receive encouragement and enjoyment from those interested in seeing me. There aren't a lot of things bringing me joy these days, so it'd be nice to pursue the things that do...
...but first I gotta keep counting the cals.
