Once again I am doing the food log. I didn’t do it last year. I had another idea I wanted to accomplish but that fell flat. It would’ve been nice if I just did the food log. I have lots of projects I am trying to do this year. The food log seemed like a good idea again. I don’t count calories or look at the portion size. I am doing this for the same reason I did it the first time. I am just curious as to what I eat. Below is what I drank for the first month of this year. I also would like to add that when the year ends, I will tally up the same things I tallied up back in 2010. Be silly to count things and show you a graph and not compare this from 2 years ago. I still don’t know what else I have planned for this project.I am sure I will do a nice update 6 months in. Be patient. Anyway, read on. Here is what I drank in January of 2010 and now here begins the food log for 01/2012.

Food Log: The Results
Now, I didn’t log it all. I could but that will be a job I don’t want to take one. I did however, log and tally up some of the items I feel I indulged in more than anything. You’re welcome to go back to each month and add up what I ate or drank. I am very proud of myself for keeping at this project. There were a few people who assumed I would give up after a few months. Others said six months. But I showed them. I did it every day. I logged 365 days of food and drinks.
Do I think I will ever change my eating habits? No. I doubt I will. I mean, I do look at some of that stats and get bothered by the amount of soda or alcohol I drank. It’s a high number. I am sure there are other people who drink far more than I do. I am not saying I drink more than you or more than Bill W. I just looked at the three digit number and was a little sick to my stomach. But what do I do? I sit here and nurse a beer. It’ll never end. I will never change my eating habits. I snack too much. I drink too much. Maybe when I resemble a beached whale, I’ll cut back and then start watching what I eat. But while I have this great metabolism, I will eat and drink whatever I want.
When this gets posted, It’ll be the new year. I will not continue this project. This was a one year thing. If anything, I’ll probably eat and drink close to the same thing. It was a long and difficult job to take on. I am happy that I did it. I cannot give you a real purpose as to why I did it but that I was curious about what I eat and how much I eat of it. Below is a chart of some of the drinks and food I ate throughout the year.
Thank you for reading. Happy New Year!
December Stats – Part II: Food
Like previous mentioned, this is the last entry to what I ate during the year of 2010. Even thinking that maybe I was going to eat better the last month, I didn’t. I ate the same crap. The only thing that is different is I didn’t get very much fast food. I guess I was watching my weight. Not that my weight is a problem. I’ll never have a problem with my weight. I am blessed. Women are jealous. Yeah, suck one.
Let’s take a look at the food I consumed during the month of December.
Cookies:
I had a total of 34 cookies this month. It’s Christmas. Someone is always baking cookies and treats around this time. I do love me some cookies. To break it down more,
- 12 of these were M&M cookies.
- 3 of these were Peanut Blossoms.
- 1 was a gingerbread cookie.
- 2 were sugar cookies.
- 2 were peanut butter cookies.
- 10 were chocolate chip cookies.
- 4 were snickerdoodles.
Other Random Sugary Goodness:
Normally I would have a section just for donuts but for some odd reason, I only ate 1 donut. With that being an odd happening, I am grouping all the goodies I ate throughout the month in one section. It’s nothing shocking. It’s just easier to do this than separate them in all different sections.

Dining Out:
While I didn’t dine out very much this month, I still did it. I am a single guy. I live alone. You try cooking for one person. It’s damn near impossible. When I do cook, I have so much left over, I am eating it for days. This is probably why I don’t cook much at home. I know I complain that I cook all day at work but it’s really the fact of trying to cook for one person. I am not cool with left overs. I like to cook something fresh. Oh, well. To the list.

December Stats – Part I: Drinks
The final month. It is all down to this night. Being that I like alcohol, I still cannot post this till the strike of midnight. I am planning on being up past midnight. If I drink too much or drink too fast, then I won’t be. I’ll be passed out somewhere. I will also be posting a collection of some things I ate and drank in a graph. It’ll be nice to see some of the items added up through this entire year. I will not be adding everything up. It’ll be a very tedious process and not to mention, I don’t think it’s important to know if I ate just a single grain of rice. But with the year ending, I am completed this amazing task. Take a look at the final stats for the month of December.
Coffee:
I always think I drank more coffee than what I have listed. I might have. Like I have said before, I could have missed some items here and there. I’m not perfect. For the month of December I had a total of, 66 coffees. One of those coffees, I am drinking right now. Let’s take a look at the breakdown.
- 22 of the coffees were Caribou Coffees.
- 13 were had at Bob Evans.
- the last of the coffees were Folgers. I had a total of 31.
Alcohol:
I am very shocked and somewhat disappointed with myself with how much I drank this month. I like drinking. It’s just what I do. But to see the number I came up with this month, I cannot think of words to express it. I did tally it up a few nights ago. I was a bit drunk while I was counting. I had added wrong and came to a crazy number. The number you’ll see is still out there but the number I originally amassed was far higher than what I actually drank. For the month of December, I had a total of 122 alcoholic beverages. I wonder what a liver is going for on the black market.
- 119 of there were bud light bottles.
- 4 were bud lights in glass mugs.
- 1 was at a Mexican restaurant
- 3 were had at a bar.
- 1 was at a Mexican restaurant
- 3 were shots of Sailor Jerry Rum (I puked. :( )
Soda:
This was a low month for soda Shocking. Guess all the beer drinking took away from the caffeine. I had a total of 40 sodas this month. To see what they are, scroll down.
- 37 of these were Coke.
- 22 of those were had at work.
- 12 were cans of Coke.
- 1 was a 20 oz plastic bottle.
- 1 was a Medium Coke from McDonald’s.
- 1 was a glass of Coke from a Mexican restaurant.
- The last 3 were Pepsi.
- 1 was a can of Diet Pepsi.
- 1 was a Pepsi from Popeye’s.
- 1 was a Pepsi from a Pizza Place.
Juice, Milk, Water & Etc…
I am just going to combine these again. Since they aren’t drastic numbers like the others, this will be suffice.
- 19 glasses of water.
- 7 Milks
- 1 was Strawberry milk.
- 6 were Chocolate milk.
- 1 was Strawberry milk.
- 1 Starbucks Hot Chocolate.

November Stats – Part II: Food
