After finishing my homework and going on the computer for a little while I heard my sister calling me from my phone. She and my father had just reached Journal Sqaure where i suspected they would start coming home. However, my dad said that he wanted to go to McDonalds that way he wouldn't have to make lunch home and could relax. I didn't really have a problem with this so I put on my sweater, plugged in my earphones, and started running to McDonalds. There, they had just finished ordering and were comtemplating and where to sit. We were originally going to sit on the those high tables with high chairs but there were people surrounding us, and my father doesn't like other people with us. So we found another spot on the opposite side that had a small table and small chairs. This is time there was like one less person but an annoying kid with this mother, but I didn't feel like moving anymore and neither did my dad.
It took only 5 minutes and eventually our food came to us, it feels kind of obvious that McDonalds just makes pre-made burgers and stuff so that when people order it they can just put it on the table. The only reason you would see them making new ones is if they ran out, and that happens a lot because everyone likes their food (they way they taste, not how healthy it is). I did not want to drink the milkshake that my father got for me because it had just too many calories. A couple of days ago, a found out my "BMI" or "Body Mass Index" and by multiplying that number by 1.2 I found out just how many calories my body should intake everyday. The number turned out to be 1900, and then by decreasing that by 500 to 400 I got 1400, which means that if I continue to eat around 1400 calories a day I should start to lose weight without even trying, although my body will start to get hungry. And that's exactly what I did starting yesterday.
I didn't eat dinner knowing that then I would go above 1400 since I already had a big mac and small milkshake for lunch which equals to roupghly 100 calories, along with my morning breakfast which was just an egg and cheese sandwich, (i'd say that should be equivalent to around 300 to 400 calories. After McDonalds and going home my dad went to watch TV and I decided to go outside to Lincoln Park in order to excercise. I didn't go on Friday because it was a school day and only staying there for one hour wouldn't be good enough. I also quit trying to learn the skateboard because if I'm going to follow my excercise routine then I should just run or even walk instead, that way I'm burning calories as well. I did a couple of both pull-ups and muscle ups, before proceding to do in-outs and leg raises. I just continued this routine because it hits all of my body parts at once. The arms (muscle ups and pull ups), upper body (in-outs), and lower body(leg raises). I even tried something new and wanted to incorporate the rings as well but it was pretty hard at first. Anyway, that was what I did yesterday!
