Half of Me:The Story of Fat Girl Slim

PHEW!!!


I went to the gym last night and managed to get in 30 mins on the stair machine, started at level 5 and got all the way up to level 13 (which is about 15 floors a minute). That seemed to be my max and took everything I had left in me. Then I did 15 minutes on the elliptical. I felt a little less crappy after doing that and some of that nasty weight uptick went back down this morning so I feel better about that as well.

I am going to try to go to the gym again tonight and do the same thing. I am getting my eating back on track and my attitude is a little better.

You sound better. your attitude has such ups and downs.:D
You will be fine. We both need to get the eating back on track- just not sure how....

I have set two goals for myself. The first is to be at 172 (hs graduation weight) and to be able to squat 100 pounds. I am somewhere b/t 182-179 weight wise and can currently squat 85 pounds. My birthday is June 17th so I don't think that those things are totally out of my reach.

Both are totally doable.
Do you squat with regularity? If so- 15lbs is no stretch. 8-10 lbs in a little under a month is also doable.
This is great, I never see you set goals for yourself. I think this is a big step for you.:D

The anonymous accountability of the internet is amazing sometimes.
I know you can do it.:)

I am easily influenced by my enviroment. Probably not such a good thing, you know? I guess the only way you do it is to do it...we are works in progress, that's all.

I usually squat a few times a week - I up the weight one a week usually but I'm not sure with the higher weights if I will be able to keep up with it with that degree of regularity. We'll see.

As for the weight-weight, I really am not sure about that esp if my body does one of those fun plateau things...again, it is a goal, just not one I am sure I can reach.

You should be able to squat twice a week pretty easily.
Squatting is more mental than physical- you will increase 15 lbs in that time.:)

Negative, negative....
Concntrate on making it- not already giving excuses why not.
Try to do it and do it.:D
-mind you, I need to take my own advise...-

No big deal.:D

Granted, but not too many people 34 yo or so should have MySpace pages...

I also do not want to even think about it.....

You'd be surprised at the 30- and 40-somethings that have MySpace pages. I use it to keep up with family. Great way to share pics. Otherwise, I'm never there. :D

Right.......
You probably have music playing in the background.
Bunch of internet doucebags as efriends with their poser pictures there....

Some emo poem that you add to every day....:D

The fact that you have a page.
You do not strike me as one who would for some reason.

Is this good? Is this bad?

Not too sure...does it help that I was pressured into it by a co-worker?

Probably not...I'm not usually easily influenced. It is a good way to keep tabs on my brother who likes to pull the I Have No Family act every now and again...

I don't think I have a song there anymore. I did at one time. I personally know every single person on my friends list - with the exception of The High Kings - and I don't add anyone if I don't know them. I could care less about being epopular. I've been able to keep up with two far away family members, both of whom just had their first children. :D

I actually know several attys - and a doctor - with a page. What is the type for that, anyway? Inquiring minds wanna know.

I do not mean to offend but i really do not believe that Myspace was set up with the 30 something crowd in mind.
Now mind you- if it is set up to keep track of family that you do not see much that makes perfect sense. I have just seen too many articles about people that were turned down for jobs because upon 'googling' the canidate a myspace page came up and was talking about the night of drunken debauchary that occurred. Or there were risque pictures or something. I just think myspace was developed for late teens- 20s.

When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I gave up childish ways.

This is actually my mantra to a point. My wife jokes that I never actually was a child and what am I giving up.....
I blieve that some things are for the young and should stay for the young.
Mind you- it is thoughts like this that are the reason I do not get invited to any really good parties.:D
