Adam's not so usual JOURNAL!!!

Sun, risty, pinkydolly, and cinder, thanks for giving me support :)

Today, I spent a ton of time studying for my test tomorrow. (not a ton, only an hour, heh). I also spent some time with my best friend. If I didn't write this before, he's going to university this fall and i'm gonna miss him. most importanly, he was my main exercise buddy (raquetball and tennis) so I want to spend as much time with him as I can.

Today, i was lazy, and didn't record calories, but i can roughly say its about 1500 (low :(). I did about 45 min of tennis and about 30 min at the beach (damn, those waves were choppy)

Hopefully I start recording tomorrow. I don't want to eat too low. I know I will eventually plateau, and then i'll cut my calories to 1700 ---> 1200. I don't want to plateau at like 1200 calories off the get-go and get screwed.

Another amazing thing. I used , and caculted my jogging route. It turns out, I jog over 3 miles! All at once. I cannot believe that sh!t...never in my life would I have thought I would have ran such a long distance.

I am pretty sleepy, so lemme get some rest, and then i got my a&p test tomorrow, and bio2 test friday (yay kingdom protista :drooling: ).

Thank again for everyone for leaving me love. I should be back to myself tomorrow and will leave some love for everyone else :). Also, i will start counting calories again, damn it, i will.
 
Cinder: Thanks for the support. I did well on the test...not as good as I would have wanted, but i'll take it (90 on the lecture portion, 88 on the lab)\

So, like i mentioned, I did pretty good on the exams. Today, i am going to good will, to apply for a job there. Its funny, i found a place willing to hire me on the spot, but they needed full time work, and there woulda been a scheduling conflict (i go to school all day friday). Meh...i'll find something soon.

I gotta do some weight lifting today. I haven't done weight lifting in like a week, so today, its gonna be full body (i'll say, about 1 hour weight lifting) and then probably some cardio (either 30 min on the cardio machines, or raquetball)

When I get home tonite I need to start studying on kingdom protista for bio2, that test is gonna be hard!

I am off to a slow start with the calories, but hopefully I will pick up soon.

I see that you too encounter some plateaus... how have you handled them when they happen? I am currently in one and thinking a good way out is doing some HIIT stuff.

I don't suppose waiting for the movie to come out is a good option :D

Good luck with the exam..
 
Thanks mal :)


Today I didn't eat that much because I was busy. Liz's roomate was in the hospital, so I went and stayed with them for a few hours to give them support. In turn, i lost a lot of my appetite and was worrying. Its actually pretty serious. The rooomate had cervical cancer a few years ago, and she had a procedure to have something removed. Now, though, there is some complications that is occuring from that, and it is very serious, she's in a lot of pain.

I did exercise and do some weight lifting before hand, so all in all, its a good day. Tomorrow, hopefully i eat more.

And for those people who love the soap opera (and drama part of my life)...tonite was the first time Liz and I told each other "I love you". Heh...i am so high right now :)
 
quick update (didn't read any messages): i am here, still alive. so much shit has been going on, that i haven't had time to even exercise. i have been so busy.......i will update when i get a chance
 
Awwwww! I'm so happy for you. About the whole I love you thing I mean :D That's so great :)

I'm sorry a lot is going on and you haven't been able to exercise. That's been me for the past couple of days too. Things will settle though and we'll get back to it ;)

Glad to hear your still alive sorry to hear life is hetic...look forward to hearing from ya when it dies down...is it Liz or a job or or or ??? HA HA HA
 
Risty and cinder, as always, thanks for checking up on me :)


Looks like most of the drama has died down. There was many "firsts" this weekend. First time I saw anyone I knew get arrested. First time I drank a regular soda in 4+ months. First time I realize how much of a sucka and how I can be manipulated so easily. First time (only once) that I bought fast food when I didn't have too :(. Other first times too...but a little wierd :eek:

I've always mention there was drama in my family, but I thought nothing like this would happen. I had to go pick up my uncle at the local jail (45 min drive, one way). Going through all that drama was crap, I had to basically pick up all my aunt stuff out of the house and into storage (she's moving out)...(and yeah, adam has the truck, so of course he'll be nice enough to do shit for everyone).

There was some drama with liz and her roommate (yes, more drama...both smashed at once, i don't want to go into that one). They are cool now. I love liz, always will, but we talked and decided that its best to remain good friends right now. All in all, most of the time, b/f and gf are only temproarily, but best friends last for life (thats what she said). Thank god too, I don't think I was emotionally ready for a relationship and its a little stressful. And, if anything, I made a super good friend :)

As mentioned above, I am a sucker. people can maniuplate me so easily. I am too nice...I need to toughen up...and not take shit...its long and complicated :drooling:

Also last week i got slammed with the 2 tests. Also, I went in for several job interviews, with took some time, So, all in all, i think life is back to normal.

I should mention, I didn't have time to do much of anything this weekend, I didnt' have time to exercise nor eat (i'll say saturday, if I passed 500 calories, that would be an excitment). Also, with the recent life style changes, when I get moody, my appetitie goes aways COMPLETELY! (before, i would use food for comfort) So, when I weighed in this morning, I was down 6 lbs (which i knew was no suprise, because my calories was extremly low for the whole week). Normally one would be really happy to lose that much weight, but I am not, cuz I have a feeling thats all muscle and water (I don't want to be dehydrated :().

I have a lot of catching up to do. I need to study, look for the job, get an oil change for my truck, see about financial aid/crap for next school semester. Also I want to squeeze in exercise and WEIGHT LIFTING!!!!!

Lemme catch up, and then I'll start my food journal again. Than, hopefully things will be back to normal.

Again, thanks everyone for checking in on me :). I feel when things get back to normal, I will gain a bunch of weight back XD.
 
Sorry for all the stress. I'm glad some normalcy has returned. You know I always say that the trick isn't in eating healthy all the time, its when you don't for whatever reason to get right back on the wagon.
 
And, if anything, I made a super good friend

youo can still be nice and have a good heart and not be taken advantage of... don't give up the nice part of who you are - there aren't many really nice guys out there.... do be one of them... But not being taken advantage of takes some work...:D but you can do whatever you put your mind too - just look at your ticker :D
 
Hey sorry to hear abt all the drama...Glad your ok with the Liz thing...hope to see you back around soon in full force:):):)
 
Cannon: Thanks, I hope normal return soon :)

mal: Omg, Mal, you really know how to make someone feel good :). I was just pissed at the time, but I will remain myself. Thank you for the kind words, and thanks for dropping by :)

cerella: I hope so too :)


Today, have a couple of errands to run, and still looking for the job. Hopefully, my bio2 class is canceled friday, that will relieve my mind.

I have to stop by the hospital. A close friend, who i recently contacted after 2 years, mother is very ill. She had a cardiac arrest and is in the hospital. My friend is taking it very well, but she was telling me her mom may have to go in a hospice. I feel very bad because her dad died when she was a baby :/. I am going to offer whatever support I possibly can.

Its 930, I have to check up on my grandmother. Peace out til later.

Thanks you everyoen for the kind comments, mal, cannon, cinder :D

I thought I'll update. Everything has offically cool down. Still looking for a job, I decided I will save working as a slinger until I am really really desperate. I am getting fast food desperate and might apply to burger king :(

I have procrastinated on my studying, so, I need to do that ( i have a test wedn, lol)

I spent this week reflectiong and self meditation. I wasn't depressed, just reflecting on life. I am doing this weight loss for my journey to be healthier and to most importantly, love myself. Before I can start loving someone else, i need to love myself.

Yesterday, I visited some of my old co-workers at office depot. Everybody was complimenting me on my weight loss. Looking in the mirror now, I don't look that much change...I only see changes in my face (i should post some progress pics), but I was glad everyone was giving me compliments. I miss my old job and all my co-workers, it was good seeing them (I dont' miss my asshole new boss though)

I was able to do a lot of exercise and eat right last week. I thought I'll take a break form the journal for a little bit, but I am back on tomorrow.

I also gained some valuable experience. Do not kiss a girl on the cheek, right after you have climbed 3 sets of stairs and you started to perspire :D (Yeah...liz yelled at me...well, not really yelled, but you know...)

Oh, btw, my bio2 class wasn't canceled, and I got a freaking C on the test. Meh, the whole class did bad.

Today is my last day of being journal free. Tomorrow, its all on baby...also my weigh in for June 2 lbs a week challange :D (i'd be happy if i am the same weight)
