Update: Jan. 21 - Jan. 31 (Hunger Games)

The first 10 days of this challenge have been interesting. I haven't had many PGA TOUR shifts so it's difficult to see just how seriously everyone is taking this. But after reading Rob Bolton's latest One-and-Done article, I have more motivation:



#NoDaysOff is basically what I took from that. I'm mainly joking but this did somewhat implement a sense of resistance when seeing some new groceries arrive in our snack basket at my house. Since the Hunger Games started I have not eaten any snacks aside from a granola bar and one bag of Little Bites blueberry muffins.

There were rumors circulating that Chris Dunham had eaten less than 1,000 calories for the past two days to which D.J. Piehowski replied, "Yeah there's no way he can sustain that." I have been eating about 1,200 calories since the competition began. I have also been hitting the exercise bike most days. I have burned 3,942 calories using the bike alone for the first 10 days. That's an average of 394.2 calories burned per day.

When I've eaten out, I have pretty much only eaten at Panera and Whole Foods. Panera lists the amount of calories through their website and I've been ordering online a lot which makes it very easy to see and keep track of the total calories per meal.

When not at home, my mother has made healthier options for me to eat.

I am confident that I've already lost at least 10 pounds and know that when the group sees my weight loss during the second weigh-in, they will step their game up even more. It seems like everyone is already taking it more seriously than I thought they would so this is why I'm worried about the ethics. It sucks eating just lunch and dinner and working out when I can but it surely isn't torture.
