T-Minus 4 Days
I weighed myself this morning and came in at a whopping 211 lbs. I’m guessing at least 6 1/2 goes down the drain. Some have guessed (my mom’s mom) that I will lose up to 20 lbs. If that happens my survival skills must really suck. God help me if I ended up in a real survival situation.
There’s been a lot of debate over what I will and will not eat. Fish, clams, mussels, crabs and anything on a farm have been the obvious choices. But what if I get desperate? Sure this is a dumb experiment that I could quit at any time, but in a week’s I’ll likely be quite hungry. Earthworms, squirrels and seagulls, I’ve even joked about the neighbors cat. Compared to the breakfast of champions I had this morning, a couple of Funfetti cupcake cones and a grilled cheese with tomato, that’s a big change of diet, especially with no spices. Even earthworms can taste good with the right seasoning, but I don’t get that option.
All I know is that I am going to be damn hungry when this is over so I might have my grandmother on call with rations ready to go for next monday. It’s not like she hasn’t cooked it already.

4 days to go and I hope you are getting some nourishment from all kinds of seafood. When this is all over go to seafood restaurant and order clams, mussels and crabs the way they should taste with seasonings and plenty of garlic!!! Keep up the good work. If Grandpa were younger he would have joined you on this adventure. xoxoxxoxo Grandma
