Diary Fitforaking

Today is a new day! Can't change yesterday....going to get fit for my King!

Nice attitude! And I agree, BK is full of demons, especially that damned demon whopper jr. Glad you got control today. Now, go to store, buy coffee, good coffee, coffee that makes all other coffees seem so infurior as to be classified as poop water in a cup. That way the harpie called temptation has nothing to tempt you with.
 
I have an espresso machine but only use it on weekends. I use Medaglia d'Oro preground espresso for that. At work, I drink folgers out of a 25 year old Bunn pour-o-matic, its gross, but it wakes me up just the same.
 
The thing with that old Bunn is that if you ever really cleaned it the coffee would taste even worse...

I'm going to swing by Walmart on the way home and pick up a box of cups to get me through the weekend until my shipment arrives!

Catch ya later Owl Igator!

If you are reading this, know that you are blessed! Not because I have written something, but because you were given the gift of life today! You have been given another day to choose to give and receive Love.

We have no guarantees about tomorrow...so make the most of today.

<><
 
I'm a little sad... :(

There's some folks on WLF that I enjoy interacting with and find funny and informative. But there's times when I read a post and it just kinda hurts my heart. Sometimes when people are trying to be funny they write things that leave me wondering "why?".

Maybe I just need to get over myself...

So yesterday was a pretty good day. Didn't make it to church because we had to go to Arkansas to pick up my neice who is staying with us this week.

I did get some good cardio working in the yard. It was SO hot and humid...I was drenched by the time I was done.

My eating was just ok. We had dinner with my folks who just got back from a lengthy vacation last week. It was good to see them. I made homemade beef and chicken pot pies. I thought they were pretty healthy...and they are...if you don't eat the crust! Problem is...the crust is my fav. I'm going to try to find a way to make a healthy crust instead of using pie shells.

Today started off well. Racquetball at 4:30am. I have drank more coffee than usual today, which wouldn't be a problem if I didn't like a little sugar and milk in my coffee from time to time. I sure hate drinking my calories. Even with that, I just finished lunch and I'm at 792 calories.

I think I'm getting impatient. I'm not losing anymore weight...and I'm eating below my maintenance every day (plus doing cardio and weights). I think I may lower my calorie intake to help jumpstart things again...I dunno.

Oh well, I've rambled.

Hope everyone has a blessed rest of the day.

in every forum there'll be the regulars you'll get to know who are all positive and motivating but i guess it's inevitable there'll be a few bad apples in the bunch. i'd suggest not taking whatever was said to heart. at some point i told myself i'll do my best to stay out of any threads with heated debates. i always need to remind myself the reason why i'm on here.

anyway, just read your today's post, sorry to hear your going through a tough time...everyones allowed a bad day...just remember to get back up and keep going even if your down. all the best xoxo
 
Well, from what I've read, your direction was that you wanted to go down on the scale...so, that being said, use that motivation and resolve. Or, maybe you just need to blow off some steam and hit that raquetball court. When I feel like I'm losing it I re-read some of my most motivating and inspiring books, like The Duke Diet and You: On a Diet. It usually helps me refocus myself.

Cherry,

It's not really that someone said something that hurt me for me...it hurts me for them.

Sometimes people don't understand that they don't have to be crude to be funny....some could keep it PG and still be hilarious.

That's why I suggested maybe I just need to get over myself...not everyone has the same beliefs that I do...and I'm definitely not here to push them on anyone. Although I am here to be a light when given the opportunity.

Oh well...

Owl,

Ironically enough...I think this forum has helped me to lose focus. I came here for knowledge...and got plenty of it. I think I may be trying to use it all instead of what works for me.

I also find myself coming here to be social instead of trying to learn...pounds aren't going to come off by being a WLF socialite. :)

hey FFK. I haven't been in here in a few days, sorry about that. I know exactly what you are talking about with certain posts, and i don't get it at all myself. I find that if you don't send a reply in most people's journals very rarely do they put one in yours, regardless of the info. I don't get too personal in my diary, because i'm not a socialite, i was told by some that's why they don't post much. so every once in a while i post things to show i'm human, and i get some interaction lol. anyway. as far as you standing still i don't know how much less youa re taking in than you are putting out in calories, but last week, i found i was eating too little, and once i ate more i lost 4 lbs last week. so. there ya go. maybe eating a little more will help. i wasn't getting enough fat either. so maybe that'll help. i'm hear to answer any ?s you have to the best of my ability based on my experiences. that's all i want to do here is help. but like i said in my diary, people don't ask as much as they used too..
 
K,

I thought you might "get it"...

I'm thinking of adjusting my goal from 2,300 to 1,700. It seems like I end up over...so maybe it won't be that bad. I'll probably eat more on racquetball days to help with energy. I don't think that's too low, do you?

actually i think that may be just fine.
 
The "K" has spoken, so it is so... :)

Hope everyone has a blessed day. If you pray...say a prayer for Derrick and his wife. Remember how blessed you are...be thankful for what you do have, not dissatisfied with what you don't. Only one thing in this world is eternal...and you can't make it, buy it or earn it. I hope each of you have it.

<><
 
Well K, it kinda sucked. I had intended to get up and go to the gym, but overslept. I ate pretty well for breakfast and lunch. Got home and completely over ate for dinner. Then, I LET the wife bother me...and re-discovered (like I had really forgotten) that I'm an emotional eater. Then I went to bed because I didn't want to deal with the crap anymore. I should have just went to bed before I ate...woulda at least saved 400-500 calories!

Was supposed to get up and play racquetball this am...but I overslept AGAIN. I'm starting to get out of my routine...almost like I can't get enough sleep. I just setup a game of RB tonight...so at least I'll get some in. Supposed to play again in the morning.

Oatmeal and coffee is all I've had today. I can't beat myself up over yesterday...it's over. Seems like I've been doing alot of "forgetting about yesterday" lately. It'd be nice to do some remembering of good days for a change. :)

Btw, thanks for asking!

i'm a looking forward type of guy, i try to always push harder than i did the day before to be better. i guess its good to look at the past to make sure you don't repeat simple mistakes, but i'm a forward thinker for the most part myself as well. my past is there only to make sure my future goes smoothly.
