A guy's diary

I'm an English major. I'm in the last classes before my Sr year begins. WOOOHOOO! I'd love to graduate by Spring 2008, but I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen.

Disturbed is Alternative/Metal. Not too hard, but not too soft either. I put them on thinking it might help the time go by and I was correct. Although, I would like to create a disc with different artists and styles that are still fast enough to make me want to run.
 
Hi Guy!! Welcome to the forum!! I must echo Mal's comment - yay for man flesh!! :D:D ..lol. Good Luck with your goals!!
 
Hey everyone!

Let me tell you that your comments and support are helping me a lot already. I was able to stave off a craving for junkfood this afternoon and also this evening. One of the reasons I was able to find the strength within me to resist was the fact that I did not want to have to come here and confess that I had eaten something that I should not have. I also want to be an inspiration for everyone here that has been an inspiration for me in the short time that I have been here.

So again. Thanx!
 
The last week has been great. I was able to stick to my plan 99% of the time. There were 2 days that I did not get to the gym, but that's ok because when I do go I work really hard (a pre-workout espresso and techno music helps). I was able to resist food temptations the whole week. Actaully I ate very healthy each day. I'm actaully finding enjoyment in preparing my own meals, which is something that I have not bee able to do for a few years.

I'm not going to bother weighing myself. There's really no point. In fact I'm not that concerned with my weight... What does concern me is how I look and feel. If I look and feel good at weight x than great. Numbers are not my focus here.

I have one more week on my cardio/low calorie routine before I switch to 2 weeks of intense weight training and more calories.

Have a great week y'all!
 
Hi, welcome to the forum! I'm a newbie too, but I can already tell you that you'll find a great support here...this people are just great.

Good luck with your goal. I'll be there anytime you'll need me. :)

See you around!
 
I am working at home today on my portfolio website. I'm watching pirate TV shows (currently Reno 911) on my Wii. I have a strong urge to order a pizza and eat it ;-)

I know that it will give me satisfaction, but it will only be temporary, and in fact it will make me feel worse in the longrun. I suppose I should just go and make myself some veggie dogs or soup or something real quick before I get too hungry and do someting that I will regret.

It helps just to talk about it. To externalize things before I just add yummy food to my stomache and ass ;-)
 
Don't order that pizza! The satisfaction it will give you is not as big as the pride renouncing to it will bring.
Don't give in! Eat fruits or low-fat yogurt instead.

I had a veggie dawg, and it was good. I'm satisfied now and I have the extra energy to go to the gym in about an hour!

Thanx for thinking of me :)
 
Pizza in moderation is not bad. Weekly like I had been eating it with leftovers the next day is terrible!

Next time you get to the grocery store, pick up some of those boboli or other kind of premade pizza crusts, turkey pepperoni and veggies, low fat mozzarella and pizza sauce and have at it.

Decide in advance you are going to have pizza so you can look forward to it. I also like the lean cuisine frozen meal pizza's. They are really good (at least the pepperoni is awesome). I'm not a big fan of sausage on pizza so the 3 meat one was a little weird to me.

Congrats on your choices! & Have fun at the gym.
 
I let myself get too hungry just after lunchtime (I did not eat lunch @ a decent time) and almost bought some really yummie chinese food @ the school foodcourt. Not that healthy chinese food either. Instead I made a healthy chouce and got some california roll at the japanese place nextdoor. It was good too, but not in the same way :rolleyes:

Anyways, Afterwards I went to the gym and did >800 calories on the elliptical (my usual). I felt like quitting halfway through, but I decieded to stick with it. I dont want to be a fat ass anymore.

it's too bad that psychologically I need to distance myself from myself when I go to the gym. I like to pretend that I am a robot so that I stick with my plan. It's not playtime make-beleive that I am a robot. It goes deeper than that. I fear that to become physically healthy I will degrade my mental health (which is precarious already).

Anyone else have similar experience?

I'm having more sushi for supper and as a Valentines Day treat to myself I splurged and bought some really nice smoked mackeral and salmon. I love fish if you could not already tell!
