The Andy Rocco Diet

[Jeez...man]

Hello, I'm Andy Rocco
I'm going to go on diet on June 3rd 2002 and I really mean it this time.
(Actually, I think if I have to update a journal, maybe I will I actually stick to it.)
Well...first...my background:

My weight, is about 275 pounds right now.

My goal is to lose some weight. Let's say 30 pounds.

The Journal, will be:

What I ate that day:

Phyiscal activity that day:

Diet thoughts:

and any extra stuff:

cool? cool.





:up:

 

[Jeez...man]

DAY 1 (oh boy)

Okay....

I had water so far.

Going to walk to the train station in the next town for the my phyiscal activity. And walk to the UCB from Grand Central

I'm cutting out soda and coffee, so when I came to work it was hard to get going. I drink lot of soda or coffee during the day, so this is tough for me.



A THOUGHT: Chris Gethard remarked that posting this journal, makes me a open target for badgering. Maybe it does, so I'll stick to it so I don't have to hear everyone's shit. People badger me enough as it is...


I'm going eat fruit today. When I have a moment I will enjoy some, but I Don't have the time...

 

[Jeez...man]

DAY 2 and 3

I was really busy yesterday, and I have bad news

Okay, Shamefully I admit that I feel into relapse the second day of my diet.
:tsk:
And day 3, isn't shaping up too good either.

So, Tommorow I will go back. Sorry about that, people. Get back on the horse! (god! I sound like an idiot!)

Tommorow I will I also post my entire diet plan, but right now I got to go back to work.

Love
Rocco

 

[Jeez...man]

Day 4 (a new start)

Okay, today wasn't too bad. I didn't have soda or coffee. And I'm going to have salad when I get home. Today, I'm just eating sensible. I ate corn flakes this morning and an apple during the slow work time. I'm going to take it easy today, Because I walked alot yesterday and my feet are really hurting.

I feel very tired.

"UGGGH!" is my diet thought of the day!

Love
-Rocco-

 

[Jeez...man]

WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING

Some people are wondering , I am going to be fat ass for the rest of my life. Answer: I have no freaking idea!


I tried, and failed. Tried again and just forgot about the whole thing. DO OVER!

I'm going to give this journal another try.



If not for weight loss, but enhance my tpying and writing skills.

 

[Jeez...man]

THE PLAN

My first new rule,
Try not to eat past 8pm
(This is somewhat diffcult, because sometimes I wake up 6pm)

Just one simple rule for now.

Next rule:
Eat more healthy.
As I write more in journal, the more embrassed I will get about not eating healthy.

I think that's it for now, Pretty stupid huh. Well that's plan!
Let's give it a shot.

Love
Fat and smelly
-Rocco-

 

[Jeez...man]

DAY1 and two (Jesus chirst!)

day OnE

Yesterday, I spent a hour working my Journal, for new begining of my diet. I was please with it, but I deleted whole thing by accident.

Some questions, you may have:

"You deleted a whole text."

Yes

"On a computer?"

Yes

"Didn't you try that undo option?"

It wasn't available. I couldn't find.



"Yeah, it's gone. Sorry, dude"
-David Berman-

To Sum up, it was about me moving out of my parents's and living off my body fat when I moved to New York.

Day TWO

"Now where was I?"
-Memento-

Today

I had fried chicken and french fries, while I waited for Gas company guy to show up. I'm going walk to train and then walk to the UCB theater from Grand central when I get to NYC.
Okay, kittens?
Love
-Rocco-

 

[Jeez...man]

day 3 (in advanced)

Okay, I broke my new rule of not eating past 8pm
On the train ride home and I was thinking...
"I'll do the journal* and go to bed, I mean, I don't feel hungry"
But, when I got home I decided to check my refrig anway.
And there it was... a carton of friendly's choclate ice cream.

2:15am (Way past 8pm)
I ate it. It was good! However, I had this werid thought...

Ask me my favorite Ice Cream, I will say choclate chip.
(which is basicly vanilla with choclate chips.)
This has been my favorite since, I was 8 years old.

Now, to this day whenever I'm home and I have Choclate chip, I add Hershy syrup. I mix it up good in a bowl, basically making it choclate. I mean it even looks choclate.

And when I get ice cream from tasty delight. I always feel like they don't put enough choclate sprinkles on the vanilla ice cream.

After all this thinking I came up with
"Hey, I like choclate! I ought eat just choclate"
Pretty, stupid huh?

Anyway...

DAY 3
I'm afraid 7/24/02 is busy day and night for me.
So, I'll do an journal entry now, because I won't have time.

I'm going to work today. I already know what I'll eat.
Coffee or Red bull or two Cokes
Bagel with cream cheese
a whole bunch of chicklets from the gumball machine in the break room.
Meatball Parm on a hero

This what I eat during the day. This is my eating habit. At night it varies.
BUT
Tonight I have some serious rewriting to do, so I'll probably fueled by ciggrettas, coke-cola and Iced tea.

okay, muffins?

Love
-Rocco-

 

[Jeez...man]

DAY 4 (this going to be unfinished)

Ummm...today. I had my coke-cola for breakfast and half pack of ciggrettas. To eat: With some spare change, I have been getting chicklets out of the gumball machine the back room.

I'm broke today, so I can't take the train. I'm going to walk home. Which is 45 minute walk. Ugh! I really don't feel up to it.

(I have limted time now, I'm on break, so I'll finish this later)

okay, Cuties?

Love
-Rocco-

 

[Jeez...man]

DaY 4 (continued)

okay, just wanted to say one more thing. Few days a ago, someone mentioned that she like the diet Journal. (I felt like Terry J.) then said something along the lines of "Rocco, your a honor-ary woman." because all women are worried about thier weight.

oddly, enough...This isn't the first the time a woman has dubbed me with title. I guess, it's like a honor-ary doctorite. I guess I should make a speech.

"Thank you, so much. I would like to thank the entire female gender for their support. Although, I don't get the benefits of being woman, like...you know....but, it's nice to be part of the club!, but not really part of the club. I mean, not like in the showerroom. I defintely get to hang out in lobby. "

There's a bit! Bits! I can''t stop doing bits!

Okay, babies?

love
-Rocco-

 

[Jeez...man]

Day five (Yeah...)

The walk home wasn't as bad as thought. Yesterday was beautiful. No real heat! It was great.
With one dollar bill I found in back pocket, I bought wendy's JR. Hamburger. I was Starving! It was not that great.
I have decide to not eat anymore fast food, including subway.

Hardly do anyway. But, everytime I do it's usally terrible.

Home:
My mother had brought home fried chcicken and french fries, from my favortie Fried chicken and french fry place. Not KFC I ate that last night too.

Last Night
-The Strokes-


DAY 5ive

Today menu:
Bagel with cream cheese
Oj and and orange soda
chicklets.

Later,
Meatball Parm on a hero

I know this doesn't seem like diet, but it is oddly working. I'm alot more aware of what eating, the next step is action...

okay, little bugs

-Love-
Rocco

 

[Jeez...man]

OH fuck! day 7...ummm-I don't even know.

My Email wouldn't let me log on this weekend.

Saturday, I had General tso chicken and tons of sleep.
Did alot of writting that night.

Sunday,
I woke late, rush a shower and rush to the train. Went to rehearsal, then went another rehearsal/class. I met with Matt Decoster afterward, had some wings. I realize, it was first thing I ate that day. I was still Starving.
Another friend treated me to Fries and to crash his couch.

Monday,
In the middle of the night. I slept on the couch, but for some reason moved off couch and on to the floor. I'm an werid sleeper. I went home and a tunafish sandwich.

Odd thought of day:
If I had billions of dollars, I would sercertly buy the Wall Street Journal, and make stupid facts to confuse rich people.

Okay, Apple pies?

Love
-Rocco-




and then

[Jeez...man]

JOURNAL (itself) TAKES A step up!

Terry Jinn (Mr. Beverage himself. Improvisor of Dr. Awesome, and the voice of BAKU) is the first person to point out, this is not good diet. He's right!
Ladies and Gentelmen, (All two people who read this)
The Andy Rocco Diet Journal first IM:



TerrySeal: man...you got an awful diet!
GOGGLEMEN: Ummm...sorry.
TerrySeal: not that I eat well...but man...that can't be good for you
GOGGLEMEN: your rather huge font, is giving the appearence of yelling at me.
TerrySeal: he he
TerrySeal: (it's regular 12 point Geneva)
GOGGLEMEN: Hey, I can post this IM?
TerrySeal: really?
GOGGLEMEN: This is good. No one has really said anything about the diet being terrible.
GOGGLEMEN: not the diet, the way I eat
TerrySeal: I dunno...fried chicken, french fries, wings, ice cream with chocolate sauce, meatball parm...it's all tasty and all.
TerrySeal: My assumption is that it's probably unhealthy.
TerrySeal: (I don't eat healthy enough myself, of course. I think I might have a burger for lunch, which, for whatever reason, I am craving. So, I'm no better.)
GOGGLEMEN: Actually, Terry you are better.
TerrySeal: don't say that!
TerrySeal: I am getting a beefy, fatty burger with cheese.
GOGGLEMEN: The scientists engieer you to be faster, stonger
TerrySeal: perhaps you should have a spinach salad...and a fruit cup?
GOGGLEMEN: (bi-ontic Terry music)
GOGGLEMEN: Sorry,
GOGGLEMEN: Spinach! Yuck. Reglaur saland would be okay.
GOGGLEMEN: I CAN't spell!
TerrySeal: A lite (no mayo) tuna salad wrap, perhaps?
GOGGLEMEN: What! you need the mayo! that's food glue.
TerrySeal: You know what you must do, Andy Rocco...
TerrySeal: I am going to get my own lunch, which will probably be terribly unhealthy. (But I ain't on a diet!)
TerrySeal: (HA HA HA HA HA HA HA...ahem)
GOGGLEMEN: Hmmm....
TerrySeal: I'm getting my beverage of the day, GOGGLEMEN.


okay, seal-cubs?

-Rocco-

 

[Jeez...man]

Day. blah blah

Life is good.

I'm happy today, work sucks. But I'm happy.

I had two cokes and mess load of chicklets.

I'm going to do something interesting with journal soon, so stay tuned.

Nothing really, else to say, Expect, I'm happy.

Kind of wasted journal entry. I know

Okay, kittens

[Jeez...man]

COMING THIS SUMMER

ONE MAN....

ONE DIET....

TWO WEEKS...

THE FAT WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT HIT THEM!

COMING SOON
AUGUST 5th

I'm giving the diet serious shot. (August 5th)
But, first some background.
About 4 years ago, I decided to lose weight, and becuase I had no money, I bet my friend I could lose 20 pounds in a month, and if I didn't I would pay him hunred bucks. I lost the weight and didn't have to pay him.

Now the diet I followed is kind of tough. It's called the TJ diet,
(I think) It was orignally designed for overweight heart attack patients, who need to lose weight for surgey. It works great for me. And I think I need the Organization. Here's the diet.

MONDAY
Just Fruit. All the fruit you can consume. Any kind.

TUESDAY
Just Vegatables, All the vegatables you can consume. Any Kind

WEDNESDAY
FRUIT AND VEGATABLES. and If you want A baked patato for dinner. No butter.

THURSDAY
Just Milk and Bannas.

FRIDAY
JUST Beef and Tommatoes

SATURDAY
JUST Beef and tommatoes...again

SUNDAY
Fruit Jucie and Brown Rice/Regluar Rice

No soda/coffee/ candy/ gum. To drink: water. lots of water.

I'm doing this for two weeks. It will be a journey!

Now, clear up some rules. On Beef and tomato day. I usally had Hamburger minus the bun with catsup. And that worked fine.

SMOKING IS STILL in the diet.

I MAY BE CRABBY, for the first few days.

This diet won't harm Rocco. I'm not hurting myself in anyway, so please don't worry.

OKay, kiddies?

Love
-Rocco-

 

[Jeez...man]

DIET DIET DIET.

Today I had a sobe Orange/carrot (I always enjoy them, so much)

and Coke Cola.

Chicklets and Mike Ikes from that gumball machine in the back room...

and finally.....this was tasty and funny.

Next door to where I work, is a werid high price/gourmet deli.
They make these Rice krispy treats that are 2 inchs height and four inches wide. On top of the treat is unmelted marshmallows. Most of it is rice krispy, but also in the mix is froot loops and mini m&m's. I swear to god, It's great!
(I'm going to try get a picture of it)
Luckly, the deli doesn't make them to often, so I won't be as tempted during the TJ diet.

Anyway, I got to go.

Okay, babies?

-Love-
Rocco

 

[Jeez...man]

What happened

Okay, I thought I posted a journal around noon, but apprently I didn't.


I was this weekend with writting and rehearsals. I got no sleep.
And since it wasn't the TJ Diet. I felt no reason to post.

MONDY
Sleep all day, at the time I awoke I sick in my stomach.
I had chicken noodle soup. Sleep alot.


TUEDAY day 1 (TJ Diet)
OJ and some apples.
I feel better. Not as crabby as I thought.
I got to get some more fruit. Got to go!

Okay, kittens?

Love
-Rocco-

 

[Jeez...man]

DAY 2 vegatables

Day2 (just vegatables)

I'm at work. Tired. 8:11 am in the morning.
I got bottle water, and I got no vegatables. I'll get them later.
I'm getting the feeling that I don't want to be on this diet anymore. Customers keep coming in Interuping my train thought for the journal, meanwhile horrible 70's store music pipes in my work place. Not too happy right now. going to have ciggretta.

okay, little bugs

love
-Rocco-
