Adam's not so usual JOURNAL!!!

Good Job on your calorie intake and your workout. Your doing a super job, keep it up!! When it rains here I always try and use it as an excuse for not going to the gym, then I think to myself. DUH!! your going there to sweat any ways, get your butt over there and NOW!! HAHAHHA and that works on me everytime. Things we think up to talk ourselves out of going to the gym, my list is huge now.HAHAHA Sleep well my friend!! Later

Hey! I totally agree with Cerella. Your feelings do have a big part in weight loss because how you feel reflects your behaviour and your behaviour will intern affect your weight loss process (either for the good or the bad). I can understand how hard it is to share with people your feelings, but I think it really helps people get to know you but more than that... maybe there's some sort of pattern that you'll see with your feelings and how that affects your eating/exercise etc etc.

So, it's really up to you whether you share or not, but I think it really will be a benefit if you do :)
 
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.

Getting drunk doesn't equal losing innocence - nor is loss of innocence a sign of growing up.. ya gotta do what's right for you when it's right to do it - if you don't want to drink and get drunk it's entirely your choice... too many people do it for stupid reasons... like going along with the crowd...
 
Pinkydolly: Thanks for visiting :)

kim: Thanks! Its funny, these days, I find it hard to reach my calorie goal (ironic, most people have the opposite problem). Perhaps...its the antibiotics i'm on.

risty: Thanks for the advice, you have been such a good friend.

mal: The wanna be aunt is giving such great advice. Wow...i never really thought about that. I really wonder why people drink in the first place...for some sort of relief or comfort? What lead me to this path because it seems everyone else is doing it (its funny, like in my sociology class, the teacher asked for those that drunk alchol to raise there hand...and everyone raise there hand (i rose it up quickly to not be he odd ball).

I think someone else said something in here the other day. Not sure who...but they were happy of me for who I was...that I wasn't going with the crowd...that I was being my own person. I am going through identity crisis (expecially now losing the weight) but I will try to remain like this. And, i will try to promise those now...that if I do make a decision or to do something, I do it for me...not because everyone else is doing it...or that its the "cool" thing to do.

a high percentage is because of peer pressure.. it's why people do a lot of things - but as someone's mother once said to soome kid somewhere -if everyone was jumping off the empire statebuilding - would you?

People have to find their own way and do what's right for them and when they are ready to- whether it be drinking, or smoking, or drugs, or even whe it comes down to sex.

mal: Awesome points and I agree with you.

I do like expressing my thoughts on here. I get so much insight by other people posts :)
 
I don't know if i got all my calories in or not...i kinda slacked off keeping track.

Today i felt a little emo...i guess its the male hormonal changes. I need to kick it into high gear and study. and oh geez...i just ate and i'm lazy.

one thing though...i am still trying to figure out where my appetite has gone. i am not as hungry as i used to be. normally people would be happy but me...not so quite. perhaps...its the antibiotics i'm on.
 
Yeah, I know what you mean...I slacking on keeping track of points I have in a day....but I figure now that I know portions for the points and basically can estimate points if I have the nutrition facts....

But yeah....life's a rollercoaster so you'll get back to it....and your 'emo', there are those days for us....You'll be fine maybe 2morrow or the next day

Sorry if I didn't make sense lol
 
I wish my appetite would disappear :p That way I can eat for my cals and that's it, lol. Hopefully once you're off the antibiotics it'll return to normal and if not, maybe it's just the healthy changes you've made and you're not craving the foods you used to or getting as hungry as you used to... who knows!
 
Sun: Thanks for the support. I hope I feel fine soon...still emp :p

pinky: Yeah, sometimes it can be normal.

risty: Not sure why I have lost my appetite. I think its a combination of things.

Still a little depressed. Meh...I'll get over it. Its the stupid job issue. Its not the fact of having money...its the fact it feels like i'm just wasting away sitting here not doing anything but studying. My friend is giving me some advice next week. Right now, i'm desperate for a little something for a few months until i get a decent one. so, we'll see....

enough about my problems...heh...
 
I need motivation, the gym closes at 9:00, and I seriously dont' feel like going outside to jog.

No, I'll go outside and walk instead and think...hmmph, i just motivated myself :)
 
YES, you motivated yourself, thats great!! Even if you didn't go to the gym you got your walk in and that's better than sitting in the house watching the boob tube!! HAHAHA hope your feeling a little better today and you get another nice walk in. :) :jump:

Ladybug: Heh, its funny, I hardly watch TV any more. I just spend most of my time on the computer or studying...


Well, just a short update.

Some of you may not know, I have a very heavy heart...so basially Liz was down, so I spent a lot of energy making her feel happy. Then, at about the same time, my cousin was down (she's very dramatic, high maintenance, nothing but trouble) but, I feel bad watching people cry, so I spent a lot of energy trying to make her feel happy. That mixed in with pre-symptoms of a cold and not having a job made me feel down. (my cousin is gone (drama, heh) and liz was busy all weekend, so we didn't get a chance to talk...so that didn't help)

But after doing a nature trail saturday and hanging out with some friends (and talking with my friends mom...damn, females really feel you), i've cheered up. I will get a job, eventually, even if its wal-mart. (i can't aim for the highest). I am still in school, so I am better off then most people. I was unmotivated to count calories this weekend, but I am pretty sure i didn't pass 4000 calories for saturday and sunday. Friday, I never went on the walk I said i would (was busy filling out job applications) but I did reduce my caloric income for compensation.

All in all, I feel a lot better. Since I was depressed I didn't study, so I have some mad studying to do. (i can just imagine how my time will be when I get a full time job...but my old job, i was working 30+ hour weeks, having 16 credit hours, and I still managed to get good marks)

I will find my job, and if its full time, so be it, i would prefer not to, but I could therotiacally handle it (my time on the forums would be extremly limited though)

Despite my gloominess, yesterday, I felt better (and lazy) so I went out for an awesome run. Since I didn't exercise for the past few days, my legs felt really light and I was flying. When I reached home, my entire shirt was wet. It felt so good.

And I am also down 1lb this week. My weekend of *pigging out* and no calorie counting...was ok I guess. Enough typing for now, I have to run out to my study group. i will post calories and exercises later.
 
Hey you - Im glad you took control of your emotional state and didnt let it drag you down to the point of eating uncontrolably and no longer exercising and gettin off track - i was glad to see you went for a nature trail walk adn a run and I smiled when I read your shirt was soaked you felt great !!!

Walking helps me alot when in the not greatest mental state...
 
I know how it feels to do that: pig out and not really watching what you eat and still lose a pound....heh....kinda strange, but hey, I'll take it if it happens!
 
I'm sorry that you were so upset, but I'm glad you're feeling better now. Sometimes it's hard to stay cheery when everyone around you isn't, it can bring you down for sure sometimes.

Good job on the pound lost! Also, good job on the run. I'm envious of those who can run... eventually I'll get my way up to that, I hope.

Good luck on the studying! I'm sure you'll do fine. :)
