I love when people aren't really what the look like!! that's what makes getting to know different people wonderful and fun
Congrats on the loss!! and your grounded for missing work! hahaha.
Hehe, yeah! She is certainly the last person you'd expect seeing at a heavy metal concert
Well, I've never ever missed too much work in the last few years
I rarely get a break!I was just sooo tired
Not a good thing to be dealing with when half of your job consists of driving!Hopefully I'm not grounded for too long! hehe

Thank you, ladies!
Always so lovely to hear from you all
Although I must confess to being a tad lax on my diet this week. I had a friend over and we sort of indulged a bit? Not in terms of junk food, but the sodium content of the meal I prepared might've been a tad high (steamers/canned veggies). Then there's also the time we ate - late.
Anyway, it was a fun time, and I'm still getting in my exercise
Stress is starting to accumulate inside me due to the full-time position that I'll be thrust into starting this Saturday. My free time will basically become non-existent, and any time spent at home will be used primarily to recover for the following work day. Learning a new mail route, with 550+ stops, can be daunting.. especially when you realize this will be your position for likely the next 5-10 years, at a non-stop rate of Mon-Sat work days. Hrmpf.
Sure, the money is good, but it comes with a price - extreme stress
Just gonna do my best, as always!
Hopefully it'll prove helpful to my regimen as I'll be running around quite a bit for the next couple weeks/months. I may have to decrease the intensity of my running though once I get home, just so I don't wear my body out completely
Maybe 4 miles a day instead of 5

Ohhhhh my goodness.
I really need to update and get back on journals! My life's been a bit of a whirlwind lately and my brain feels like 3-day old scrambled eggs that have been sitting out on a deck during 100 degree weather.
Yeah, I'm a bit fried But, I'm in good spirits - even if this week is sucking in terms of a good weight loss number.
Yep, I've certainly entered the big leagues now. I even bought green mail trays and tubs for my new route! It's going well I've memorized all the turns and whatnot in less than a week, and I'm getting to know the customers. They all have some REALLY nice homes! Wow. If I get on everybody's good side, come the holidays, I may be finding some very nice little tokens of gratitude in certain mailboxes :] Even though we're not technically supposed to accept money/gifts from customers, it's all in the spirit of the holidays! =)
It's not easy though. My new route has a LOT of hilly areas. I'd say about 75% of it, I'm always on an incline. I've burned out a few times going up certain roads that are particularly steep. It's definitely going to be interesting when bad weather hits. Hell, I'm sliding now, but with 2+ inches of snow/ice on some of these roads.. forget it. I might as well be on a toboggan! lol
My poor brakes are singing a metallic choir lately, even though I just had new ones put on. Hrmpf. My vehicle is going to be in the shop every month rather than every other month at this rate. I'm going to get a brand new one, but it's just a matter of finding the time. I'm kinda swamped right now with certain things, other than just the mail route
My roommate also came to me the other day and announced he's moving out. He just cant afford to live here anymore. So, I'm gonna be flying solo indefinitely. I have mixed feelings about it. Sure, it was nice having company, but I think I also might do much better on my own. No distractions or irritations caused by messes and smoking.. ugh. I won't miss that. The smell of cigarettes when you're trying to run isn't very beneficial.
Anyway, typing way too much! Gotta visit some other journals and get ready for tonight as I'm having company over
Thanks for stopping by, Jen!

mmm... yummy!
I definitely know what that feels like. There are many nights after my kids are in bed that I sit down, plug my earbuds in, crank up the music, and do my best to just breathe. I'm glad to hear you're in good spirits though. When I get like that... I'm usually not..haha!
I hope things settle down for you soon... I also hope you get awesome tokens of gratitude during the holidays!

AWow you really are having a ton of changes in your life all at the same time.....I never lived with a roommate....I don't think I would do well...lol...even when we vacation with other people it is separate room...condos...houses...cars...whatever....lol...I sound so evil sometimes...bahaha...I'm really not...I just like my own space..I think if you can afford it...you will enjoy living alone for awhile
Hope you get settled into your new routine and find a new car...you know we are not going to be lucky two years in a row...with a mild PA winter...haha.
Do you have to walk all those hills too?? Just think of those killer calfs you would have!!

Goodness!
Yeah, the inclines on my route are quite something! I keep my treadmill's incline at 7, but some of the areas on my route feel like 10+ when I'm walking up them.
I don't even pull into the customer driveways when I have a parcel to deliver. I keep my jeep on the road, park it, throw my hazards on, and run the package up to their door, regardless of how long or steep their driveway is. Not to mention my route gets more packages than any of the other 9 routes in the office, so I'm staying quite active throughout the day usually
These last few days tho, haven't been stellar in terms of good weight loss. My roommate's cousin, Richie, is visiting, and he's a lot of fun to hang out with. Big guy, like my roommate, very italian and loves to eat and hang out. So, when he comes to visit, we usually go out or get food to make out the house (hotdogs, hamburgers, etc).
This week has been a rough one, in terms of emotional and physical exhaustion. I stayed level, thanks in part to doing over an hour+ of running yesterday, even though Richie insists I did 2+ hours. lol. We had reservations for dinner at 8:30, but I lost track of time last night and didn't end up finishing until almost 9, so we missed out on dinner.
Buuut.. Richie had never been to the local strip club in the area. Now, my roommate and I have been to this place only one other time months ago on a Tuesday. Richie wanted to go last night, Saturday. He's married though, so the rule is he can go, but no lap dances. He would be the DD since he doesn't drink.
Well, we went last night and, uhhh, I didn't fare too well with no drinking. I had quite a few beers and some rum. I got 3 lap dances, too.. lol. The dancers really seemed to magnetize toward the 3 of us, even though the whole place was packed and we were squeezed in amongst everyone at the stage. It's so creepy making eye contact with the other guys in places like that. I'm not huge into these kinds of places. It's ok to go once and a while with some friends, sure.. but the amount of second hand smoke I inhaled, ugh.
Anyway, so my third lap dance was kinda funny. I was pretty drunk, and I even came to a point where I started telling each dancer that approached me at the stage that I had a full-body Spider-Man spandex suit, lol - don't ask. This one dancer, who had glasses and was going for a nerdy/school girl look, really seemed to like it and approached me afterward calling me Spider-Man! She was super cute, too! She's like, 'ok Spidey, ready for a dance?' I said, 'Absolutely, Mary Jane!' lol!
She was a bigger nerd than I thought, actually. We actually talked about Star Trek while she was spinning around with her legs over my head, lol.
Ok, so it was fun! Richie really enjoyed it and, together, we bought my roommate a lap dance because he's been in a funk lately and seemed to need a little 'pick me up'.
Afterward though, we stopped at Sheetz and I caved to a cheesy turkey melt sandwich :\ Not the best thing to eat at almost 1am.
Eh, but yeah. Today I ate crappy, but it's my cheat day. Lots of elbow macaroni. However, I have tomorrow off from work (with pay! woohoo), so I'll probably spend the majority of that on the treadmill trying to get this water weight, that no doubt will have me close to the 200's again, off tomorrow.
I need to update and be on more often My apologies, but this new work schedule, and some other things in my life, have really been hogging the majority of my attention and focus
I hope everyone is doing well! I do come on and read posts and/or journal entries, but I don't always have the time to fashion appropriate responses some nights
I may need a vacation soon, even though it's only been a few weeks

AHeya Greg
I am so rubbish My life has just been......yeah at the moment and i've neglected everyone on here. So so sorry I have been catching up this afternoon and thought 'OMG i totally forgot about your date' I'm glad it went well and it's all experience at going out with woman for you. You will overcome your shyness sweetie.
Wow your new work load sounds crazy! I start my new job tomorrow and i am so scared
I actually laughed out loud at you getting a lapdance talking about star trek!!!!! Brilliant

Aw, heya Kate
I know the feeling. Life has a way of really consuming your time. I understand, and I'm sure everyone else does too
We're all busy at times, but as long as we keep with our regimens, we're still all connected in some small way :]The date(s) have gone well
Yes, plural. Although they're not really 'dates', per say. More like, friends getting together. After that initial lunch, I've since had her over twice for lunch. Then, we went to a carnival last week (which was AWESOME!). I hadn't been to a carnival since I was a kid and she hadn't been to one since she was about 20, and she's 26 We rode almost every ride for 2 hours, lol! She felt insecure about her body though, even though every carny and average joe was checking her out as we went along The other night, my roommate, his cousin, and I invited her over for a little impromptu dinner. We charcoal grilled up some burgers and just hung out for a few hours. It was fun
But yeah, life is still pretty wild right now. Work, going solo at my house for the first time, women.. hmmm.
It would've been nice to tackle these circumstances one at a time, rather than all together.. but, that's just the way life is sometimes I suppose
And YES! LOL - only I would incorporate nerdy science fiction trivia talk into a lap dance
She was a big geek tho, and super cute! I was almost ready to propose as I was just about drunk enough to, but I held back. The most I did was give her my full name in case she wanted to be facebook friends (/facepalm).Yeah, not gonna happen
Anyway, I can't say whether or not life is getting better or more stressful. It may be too early to tell, but I know I need to establish some sort of balance right now.
I've got better income, yes.. but more workload. So, more stress.
I'm living alone now, so less mess and dealing with obnoxious cigarette smoke, but then there's the issue of loneliness.
I'm meeting women, while great, is also a bit stressful. There are personal things I'm still struggling with, but it's getting better. I just hope my struggles don't inevitably interfere with something that could end up being a meaningful relationship
So, that creates a little anxiety in me.Then, as always, there's the weight issue. Still dealing with this plateau/water weight, and cooking dinner for my new friends always severely tests my willpower. That night we had the cookout, I had 2 hotdogs (with bun) and 2 burgers (with bun), plus cheese, bbq sauce, and orange juice
Eh.. I feel like I'm starting to ramble a bit, so I'll end this journal entry here!
As long as I keep my health as the priority, things will work out in the end, regardless if certain aspects of my immediate life don't fall into place like I hope they do

Ooooooooooh lots of dates. I've kinda got you two married off in my head already I'm so pleased that you guys are hanging out so much
I totally get what you mean about life just being sooooo busy, don't know whether we are coming or going sometimes. I seem to be doing ok'ish food wise but just don't seem to find the time to get any exercise in!!!!
I laughed so much reading about you actually thinking about asking the 'geeky lapdancer' to marry you. I bet she was totally your ideal woman lol

Haha, Kate. Well, that's a bit fast, yeah?
One thing I've learned from some of my initial encounters with women is to take things slow. Don't jump headfirst into a swimming pool without checking first to see if there's water in it! hehe. I learned that lesson the hard way ;\
Yeah, it's a fun time, but there's also variables that I'm still unsure about. I have no doubt we'll remain friends in the future, but as far as anything more, well, time will tell I guess!
I hope your new job is going well, Kate!
As for the food, I'm doing 'ok' in that aspect as well. I have been increasing my calories a bit the last few days because I've just been feeling so weak and drained. Again, I've fallen a bit into the trap of eating only bars as meal replacements - which they're not! So, I've been eating more heartily, but as a result, my retention weight is not coming off as fast (it at all) right now.. eh..
I feel more energy though, so that's good
Just give it some time. What else have we got?
You'll get back into the swing of things in terms of exercise eventually
One day at a time Oh, and yes - that dancer was quite something! tehehe

Hello, my forum mother!
I appreciate you not scolding me for, um, acting 'badly'
heheI'm actually quite an angel in real life. I blame my roommate and his cousin for the strip club, but I must confess, I can't lay any blame on them for the plethora of lap dances I indulged in
Something about a beautiful woman approaching me with a smile just crumbles me. I know they're smiling at me for my money, but when you're not used to that kind of attention, it's hard to resist. I'm probably the easiest target in places like that. I'm sure they pick up on that, too ;(
Thank goodness I don't go too often! I'd be broke :] lol
Sheetz is so dangerous. I was going to get me one of those fried shrimp subs, but they discontinued that in their menu.
I'm doing my best to get back on track with everything that's going on, tete
It's so difficult, but I continue to do my exercise every day after my new schedule of work.I have increased my calories a bit, but I did that because I've been feeling really lethargic lately.
It's not good for the scale, but I can feel my energy levels increasing. I just hope it balances out soon and I start seeing more positivity on the scale partnered with these new energy levels :\

Ok, had to post here tonight because I completely collapsed on my diet this week.. bad, bad, bad.
I was already having issues (as always) getting this retention weight off. I was hovering in the mid 190's since Monday.. but tonight, I went out with my friend to Texas Roadhouse.
Bad doesn't even describe how badly I ate. It was more like.. tragic.
Cheese fries (with bacon bits on top), Pulled Pork with Chicken BBQ, Mashed Potatoes, and Apple Sauce as my side dish. I drank water! But.. the caloric content of that meal was probably equivalent to 2 days at my current weight/height.
Although maybe I can look forward to being allowed more calories to consume each day as I'll no doubt be up quite a number of pounds this week :\
And, here it is.. typing away my little flop at 1:30am in the morning when I have to be up at about 7:15am..
Don't get me wrong, it was a great night! Had a blast with my friend
But, it's now time to pay the price for that fun ;(

Glad you had a good night with your friend Greg, so what you slipped up and ate a few cals too many YOU HAVE LOST SO MUCH WEIGHT, LIKE AN AMAZING AMOUNT. You should be so proud of yourself, so snap out of this feeling of guilt.
Tomorrow is always another day, and remember what you have accomplished so far, inspiration!

Oh my goodness, Princess. It wasn't a slip up, it was more of a complete stumble, followed by a face plant to the ground hehe
I never forget how far I've come, but I also always have in the back of my mind hitting my milestone goals. I have plans for when I eventually reach that, and hopefully it provides greater support to my friends here on the forums. I guess that's why when I have a bad week, I'm particularly hard on myself I don't want to let anyone down and I'm always trying to do my best to help and inspire others.
I've been slacking so much on the forums lately. I feel awful, but work and new aspects of my social life have really just taken over my free time lately. I visit the forums in the evenings, but I'm usually so drained and semi-occupied with other things that it's hard to really formulate meaningful posts and responses to everyone I still read and keep up as best I can, and I hope nobody thinks I've forgotten about them!
I'm still fighting the good fight tho! I've been doing 4.2 miles per day on the treadmill after work. My new schedule is really killing my hands! Erf. I need to find a good, intensive lotion. They're starting to feel, and look, like sandpaper
I'm afraid to touch people sometimes because I feel self-conscious about how rough they are..
Anyway, things are just taking time to adjust to I'm still here! I haven't disappeared!
I hope you, and everyone else, is doing well!
