Cannon's Journal

hey Joe, I'm sorry I haven't been in to check on you. I hope things are getting better for you and your students. I may complain about the isolation and 'smallness' of my little town, but damn, I can let my 5 year old walk to her grandma's house without worrying. :grouphug:
 
I'm down right now about work, but not about food. I do have to get it in line, but I really think that 4th day of working out per week is making a big difference even if it is costing me sleep.
 
Thanks for the hug Dari :). I'm tickled everytime I see you quoting me.

I have biceps. I got a flu shot today and went I rubbed the area I noticed I definitely have biceps. Working out 4 days a week is going to make a big difference for me.
 
:biggrinjester::party: To biceps (whistles)all that hard work is paing off,did ya close your eyes when ya got the flu shot lol I hate shots I freak,I have to close my eyes and count sheep or something :willy_nilly:! How is school going?I hope alot better since the last time I checked.Have a nice day and continue KICKING butt,Tammy
 
oooOOOOooo biceps!! :D

It's great that you're doing the workouts. I think sometimes we just need to focus on the fact that we did the last right thing we intended and will manage the next one. One day at a time I suppose - or one item at a time.

That medicated weekend is a bummer. I ate crap on the weekend too, so I do relate. I hate the way just one of something doesn't do the job when I'm in that situation. It sounds like it was confined to the weekend though which really counts for a lot. I love the "I'm better than this". For sure you are. :)
 
This was the first time I've ever got a flu shot. I always get the flu before they come around with the shot. I wasn't happy though because they charged $25. I wouldn't have minded, but I thought it was free until I had already gone down to get the shot so I forked over the $$$. I got up and got in my workout this morning. Thanks for all your support :)
 
Hey Cannon! Thanks for stopping by my diary! You've lost 87lbs, that's amazing. Great job.

How is the school recovering from the shooting? Are the kids doing better?
 
Hey Cannon, thanks for stopping by my journal! Its good to be back. :)
It looks like you've been losing well in my absence. Congrats!

:hurray:

This will probably be one of my longer posts because there's a lot going on. Rather than tie it together into one cohesive narrative I'm just going to ramble on stream of conciousness style.

I talked to my sister over the weekend. She's back up 50 pounds and hasn't gone to the gym in awhile. She's using money as the excuse and she was spending a lot (every day she was working out with a personal trainer), but she had lost 100 pounds and was an inspiration to me. I hope she finds her way back, but regardless I know its a very uphill climb and I won't respect her any less if she doesn't. One of the reasons I haven't been too upset about the slowness of my recent loss is because I know I could just has easily put the weight back on myself. Its a victory that I'm stilling working at it and I'm still seeing progress.

Though my weight is slow to come off I am starting to notice muscles popping up in the strangest places. I can feel my triceps and shoulders getting considerably bigger as well. I think this is going to be key for me to adapt a healthy lifestyle as opposed to just going on a really long diet.

I'm home sick today and it bothers me. I woke up at 2 in the morning with huge stomach cramps, the sweats and what felt like food poisoning. I think I had picked up some bad steak. Anyway I had a rough two hours and then when I woke up I was still feeling kind of weak and kind of sick to my stomach so I called in sick. Soon after, I felt better. I don't know what happenned last night, but I hate using a sick day like this. My class is driving me crazy this year and this is one mental health day I won't be taking down the road. I usually allow myself 3 or 4 a year and one is being used up on that cruise I'm taking at the end of the month.

I see some physical changes in myself, but I also see some mental changes. I work out Monday & Friday almost totally with weights. Sunday is aerobic, but some light resistance is used. Wednesday is circuit training and I use some weights and some aerobic. I've been getting up at 4:45 to go work out, but when I miss a day I just make it up the next day. I'm pretty impressed with my ability to not lose a day. Exercise programs in the past simply got cancelled by me not rescheduled. So you see, I'm changing mentally too.
 
:hug2: Joe you are changing and that is great...Im sorry to hear abt your class driving you crazy and such...it is great to hear abt yor body changing - good for you...that is awesome to see it and feel it...Im gettin bisceps too - I really noticed my arms in the pumpkin picture...

I have really missed you Joe...and I am happy to still see you trucking along...

Do you have msngr ?


 
:chillpill: AWWWW I hope you feel better soon,I have been lucky so far(knock on wood) and haven't had food pisoning,I have heard it is meserable feeling.
I also hope your sis finds her way back on track,I have been up and down all my l;ife more UP tho and now myn lil SISTER whom is 15 weighs more than me and is going down my UNHAPPY UNHEALTHY path that leads to misery later on,she has the "If no one likes the way I look then don't look attitude going on but down deep I know it bothers her,and I am not 1 of those who can say well if I can do it you can because it is hard to do and you have to be willing and ready to take charge of your body,and honestly at times I feel like throwing in the towle and saying heck with it been then again I love feeling healthy ect.
OK I hope you have a nice day and GET WELL SOON,Tammy
 
I'm sorry about the illness, but I'm totally thrilled about the mental and physical changes you're undergoing! Bravo!! :party: Hey--exercise IS addictive, isn't it?? :D Oh and I'm glad you have a positive outlook on your sister and your own weight loss. I'm so glad you're so healthy despite being in the obese category. And that is SO COOL about the muscle gain, ALL RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
My sister had to put her dog to sleep today. Her husband is out of town for the next 10 days or so for business. She really had to go through it alone. That's such a hard thing to do. I did it once. Pets really do become family members. Thanks for visiting ladies. I worked out hard today and will do the same tomorrow.
 
oh gosh cannon. im so sorry. at least that should be your bad luck over with now for another couple of months at least! wishing your mum a quick recovery :waving:
