So yesterday night was my uncle's party. I was screwed going into it, because I could only eat 400 calories, and I told him that.

I eventually made a deal with my cuz that I would try her cake and cookies at 1200 midnite. Techinically, it is the next day, and the calorie counting starts all over again :rotflmao: (i don't cheat!)

So i'm glad I survived the party. This morning I went and volunteered at the hospital. If you didn't know, i deliver newspapers to everyroom in the hospital. Its great exercise, pushing those newspapers, and saying hi to all the people (i do meet strange and wierd ppl though :eek: ).

I hoped that in the short run, volunteering at the hospital would get me a job, but it doesn't appear so. I like doing it, but volunteering doesn't put money in the pocket.

Today I came out pretty well so far, with about 110 calories to eat for the rest of the day. I will probably eat some more protein and taking me vitamns. I forgot to take it this morning but I still have some time.

Life is pretty good. I'm relaxed.....for now

Hey there!..thought I'd pay a return "visit" to say "have a good week" and your journal was so interesting I got totally caught up in reading it.

About the drinking thing, lots of perfectly "normal" (whatever that is) people don't or seldom drink and it's no big deal...from a female perspective it's generally much, much nicer going out with a guy who doesn't drink, or only has the seldom glass compared to the guy who can't relax or have fun without a bottle of beer in his hand. And I have a friend like yours who changes personality after a few drinks: sober she is sweet and funny and cute, drunk she is 98 lbs of defiant, over-aggressive fight provoking terror. It's scary.

Oh, and about the eating after midnight and recording it for the next day thing: I thought I was the only one in the world who did that...it's so dumb but if it's one in the morning and I've already eaten and recorded my food for the day I'll go, well, it's morning and eat whatever, log it into fitday for the next day and count it as that day's food. Obviously I can't do it all that often, but for the random just-gotta-have-it post midnight snack- it all averages out.
 
Hey, I know what you mean about never knowing what kind of a drunk you will be. I have a guy friend who last year never really drank until this one party at the end of the semester. He got really drunk and REALLY beligerent. He began throwing punches and becoming really violent. Eventually the police had to be called and I ended up helping bail him out of jail at 6AM when he got out of the drunk tank lol. Seeing him sober, you would never think he would be that kind of drunk. He is a really calm, not aggressive at all kind of guy. So I think that your reason for not wanting to drink is completely valid. Just remember that there is a big variation between drinking and being drunk. The guy I know who got like that was beyond drunk...almost to the point of alcohol poisoning. When he got out of the drunk tank he had the jitters because he had so much alcohol in him....he completely reeked of it. Anyways, your reason is a good one, but don't be too scared cause you can control how much you drink.

And thats really cute she called you here boo :)
 
Cym: Thanks! I am glad you thought my journal is interesting, hmmph. I hope you are right about the female perspective thing.

I am glad I am not the only one as well who records there meal at midnight for the next day :)

Lisa: Yes! That’s exactly what I mean. God knows I jump into a car and take off. Or I hurt someone, get arrested. Or I get an addiction to alcohol. I guess drinking a bit just to get you tipsy isn’t so bad…we’ll see. But, it so common to drink to the point of getting drunk. I dunno...why am i stressing over this sh!t...

And yeah, I was happy when she called me that too (made me feel or mushy and warm inside…), heh. (and if you guys get bored about me talking about my little romantic adventures, I can stop!). I hope you find someone special as well lisa :)


So, today was a good day, even thought I had my 400 surplus from the night before, but I did well. I felt incredibly lazy to go to the gym, but I still forced myself, and afterwards I was happy.

My cousin bought me some Thai food tonite, grr. I never had it. so I told her I would eat a tiny bit (even though I knew I would go over) and it tasted really good. I enjoyed it…pissed about going over though :mad:

I juggled the idea around, but I will post before and after pics when I reach my goal weight. I want there to be a dramatic change, the “wow” moment…no matter what though, I will probably still consider myself very unattractive looking,

Anyways, lemme try to read some journals and get some rest…I only had like 6 hours of sleep last nite.
 
Well Im glad she likes you - just take it slow and steady - i think you are handling it well and right..they say the best relationships start out as friendships :):):)
 
Cinder: Thanks! I am trying though, but I am quite an amaeture at relationships, LOL. One thing i've learned, and its the best and oldest advice out there: be yourself. If someone doesn't love you for you, then whats the point of having a relationship (unless you want a night of lust...)

Hi Deep!! Thanks for stopping by my post last week, I really appreciate that. Looks like your on the right track and losing weight as well. Great job! I'll have to stop by and keep up with your diary and your new ventures. I like the fact that you volunteer, that speaks volumes about ones personality and heart. That's a huge point in my book!! My name is Kim by the way. Enjoy your week
 
mal: For me, it doesn't sound like a night of fun. I know, I am still young, and inexperienced, but I think you should share that kind of physical love with someone you have a deep emotional bond with. I know my type is rare out there, but thats how I honestly feel.

Of course, some people (and I would even venture to say a majority) do not agree with me. That is fine. I am a person that believes that you can do whatever you want, however you want as long as you aren't hurting anyone else (or yourself)

Kim: Thanks for the kind words :). I try to give back everything I've gotten.
 
Hey DG thanks for visiting my diary. I think being yourself is great advice in your current situation. Keep us posted :)
 
cannon: thanks for the kind words.

I did really well yesterday. I wanted to upbeat the cardio, but my friend was there, talking to me on the machine. And keep in mind, he goes at an incredibe liesurely pace and asks you a million questions (and he still wonders why he is plateau'ed at 170). I like talking to him, and I don't want to be rude and ignore him.

Afterwards, I did some upper body exercise and really emphasized on my back.Then I went home and slept (pretty exciting, eh?)

I woke up this morning as usual, but my left calf is bothering me again. I dont' know why, I didn't even do any lower body exercising. I know pain indicates something, but I am seriously considering ignoring the pain. We'll see.

Today, I am hanging out with my cousin a little bit in the morning and then in the evening, gonna, hopefully, hang out with liz. She's a little stressed out...so I want to try to help cheer her up (i hate seeing my baby down :(). Also, we should do some cardio in the evening, like a walk or something.

Afterwards, I plan to do some lower body weight lifting and more cardio, if needed.

I need to start to study for my bio2 quiz and a&P. Still trying for a job. i will fill out an application at wal mart and work there temporarily til i get a job (the last time i filled out one, they called me about 4-5 times!)

Thats it for now.

Great attitude to ahve my friend and I am the same - I have a long broken history and I just cant seem to get it right - relationships I knwo nothing abt...and I also feel the same abt one night of lust or a one night stand - I gotta feel the love kinda thing ya know - there needs to be a reason why I am havign sex with someone...

I love Wal Mart - I have thought abt gettin a job there once or twice beccause I always shop there and I could work in the evenings liek as a second job...
 
Cinder: Thanks! I am glad I am not the only one that feels the same about the topic and i am hoping the bst from wal-mart.


With my journal, I feel I am letting too much information into the open, so I am highly considering starting my own private blog (if anyone knows if any good blog websites, lemme know)...If you guys really want to hear of my life struggles, my immature little love adventures, my nervous and anxious view on life and...to me...trying to find myself, beg me and i'll reconsider. I really want to focus a lot of this on weight loss. However, of course I will go a little in depth and personal, thats what journals are for!

(or i might screw the whole blog here and put a lot of my private thoughts on here...hardly anyone visits here)

My idea with this is because i was talkign with liz, and she told me it was a good idea to do a journal (she started one), so i really wanna do a real one...not just focusing on food, exercising and weight loss. So...we'll see.

Today was pretty good. I hung out with lisa (i like calling her that...grr...i know somethingnew name is that also...i didnt want to confuse) and got to talking again, about all kinds of stuff...relgion, financial stuff, college...life.

I was messing with her and told her that she was perfect the way she was...and she laughed and said "I think you are perfect the way you are. honestly, i like my friends healthy. but...if you feel you need to change, i got your back". She then asked me why i wanted to change...and it was hard for me to answer. so, throughout this journey, i will list reasons why I want to lose weight (hopefully, they aren't all vanity).

Today was good eating wise. I did have cheese cake...but was a small piece and it tasted really good and really sweet (and yes, i caved in when she offered me a piece) She also cooked the pasta, which tasted really good. I kinda didn't have time for the gym and my left calf was bothering me, so I thought it was best not to do any exercise. tomorrow, though i wanna do some cardio and lower body resistance training.

Gonna do some studying tomorrow...Will post on other journals tomorrow, too tired tonite

Your diary/journal is abt you - you ahvent been all that personal plus you are sharing yourself and we are gettign to know you - all this is related to weight loss - cannon once told me that my life is weight loss related :):):) Awhile ago I made a comment in my diary abt actually making it weight loss oriented and that was what he said to me and ya knwo what he is right !!! Everythign you doa ffects you adn your life and your eating and your goals - i think y0ou shold keep your diary as is and keep posting as you do - just my 2 cents
 
I agree with Cinderelly, but if you aren't comfortable posting your personal thoughts on here then thats understandable.

You and Liz are incredibly cute, and not in a sappy, gagging yourself way lol, but a truly cute intimate couple way. I love hearing about it, especially since it's from a guy's perspective, which is unusual for a girl to hear really.

Anyways, good luck with the studying tomorrow.
 
Cinder: You are right, in order to lose weight efficiently, almost all aspect of your life will be affected.

Lisa: Hehe, thanks! I though it was sappy...but if you do really like it, then I'll continue commenting on it then :). Guy's persective, eh? I'll see what i can do (just kidding, i'll be myself...)

Steve: Hello Steve :)

So, I will continue to post some of my thoughts here then (but I'll have another journal for all my intellectual thoughts (like the really hot shirt she had on when I went over to pick her up....just kidding! :p)

Today is like an aneroxic day. I am barely eatting, grr! To my great suprise, when I went to eat some cereal this morning, someone finished off the milk. So I had grapes instead (i need to seriously think of some breakfast alternatives). Today, got more studying and job applications to put in (normal, eh). I will probably play tennis tonite and do some lower body interval training.

I also got to focus on eating more.

And I am still thinking about it, but I will probably go hang out and drink a little bit of alcohol one of these days. I will miss telling people that I've never drunk before...but I guess its a rite of passage, eh? we'll see...i'm still thinking about it. Everyone must lose some of there puritys and innocence before they truly grow up, eh? And look at this way...i'm almost 21...my bday is in october.

And don't worry about illegal drugs or smoking, i ain't ever doign that shit in my life.

cinder: I laughed too when I wrote it, but then again...it was true. Heh...oh god, im such a dog :(


So, anyways, despite my slow start, I did manage to fit in all my calories. Which was good because I honestly thought I would not be able too. While leaving for the gym, it started pouring like hell....which was good, we needed rain. I was a little tempted not to go, and then I was like "i see, this is another obstacle! i ain't letting it take control of me". Exercise was good at the gym too...did some interval training and weight lifting. When I finished my shirt was soaking wet with sweat, so I am glad my body got the exercise it needed.

Still filling out those applications and studying. Tomorrow I got a study group and thats about it. Of course there's always the family drama going on, no suprise.

Will read some journals and sleep :). So glad to have another successful day. I pray when I get a job they are as successful.
