No, they are just terrible enough to blow a perfect season..lmao. :nopity: I won't be a bit surprised if they somehow manage to pull of a win in the last two games. Still, they should get a good draft pick which they will no doubt waste. :biggrinjester:

Sorry you won't have your kids xmas eve. :( I think that's one of the toughest things for divorced parents to deal with--sharing the holidays. I would feel the same way you do if it were me. I hope you have plans to be with your family to help take it off your mind. :hug2:

Thanks BB. I guess it's more of the fact that because "her" extended family is in town, and she magically wants to spend more time with the kids??? I get a bit irretated!! I am trying to look at it like this... her family, the kids grandparents deserve time with the kids... why punish them for their daughters poor priorities! I have family all over town, and will spend the time with them. It will be fun, but different for sure. I guess I get caught up in the "I never signed on for this" thought.... but slowly, it's going away. Thanks for your true concern/simpathy... I appreciate it!

Now, on to more important talk... :D
The Lions will NOT ruin their perfect season! They will get a great draft pick, then WASTE it as usual!! :D
 
Tuesday + Wednesday

AM CARDIO... fell back to my Favorite. JR and heavy bag!! I thought I needed to find something new, to add a little mix to my cardio, but this one, I'm keeping. I need to find something new in place of the BORING AS HELL steady state cardio!!! Damn good workout... I'll have the "numbers" after Christmas due to buying myself a counting rope!!! Lots of intensity, especially on the heavy bag!!! Great way to release some of my frustrations!! 9.5!!

Eating - GREAT! All protein, and calories were just under my daily target.

Wednesday -
AM Lower body workout. Started things off with a 10 minute wall sit, followed by jump ups!! Kicked my ass!! I then completed my circuit, and had a great workout!! 9.5 again!! Should have increased my lunges... will do next time.

Food - I may just start saying... the usual!! I am SO happy to have this pretty much tied up!! There are moments of weakness, but I have risen to win 9 out of 10 times for sure. Well maybe 8 of 10... but who's counting!!! :D I can't beleive I'm saying this, but I'M PROUD OF MYSELF!!! Damn that feels good! It's been way to long, well outside of business and being "DADDY", that I have said that!
 
It does suck to share your kids and I think you'll always get a little "angry" about certain things... like you said, you didn't sign up for it... I hate sharing my kids too (as you already know). Just stick close to family and friends and you'll get through it. Besides, from what I know, I dare say you won't be sharing ever Christmas holiday with her.... Have a great day JZ! :D

Thanks! Yep, just needed to vent a bit... besides, next holidays when her extended family isn't in town, she won't feel the need to show off!!

I am VERY HAPPY about my eating... and my workouts... just a matter of putting days behind me on the calandar!! :) :)

Yes, well, I'm excited about seeing your After pictures, hell yes! :drool5: AND in between, hey have you posted "Before"?

Not yet... HORRIFIC!!! I am shirtless!!! I have them hanging by my bed so I see them every morning and night!! I have "before", "during", and progress measurements, but plan to reveal all, including "start of maintenence photos" at the same time!! Probably in April or May... when it's like HOLY SHIT... WHAT A HUGE DIFFERENCE!!! HE WAS BAD OFF BEFORE, BUT DAMMMMNNN, CHECK HIM OUT NOW!!! :biggrinjester: :D :D
 
Sounds good. I myself am shy about my body sometimes, oddly enough. I don't want bikini pics anywhere until I'm down another 4 lbs......:eek:
 
HAHAHA! It'll happen, although I might not REALLY get on top of my game in deficits until after Christmas. I came DAMN close not too long ago at 141.0......being up 3 pounds is disappointing, but I'm not binging and I'm very happy, AND Yoga is making ALL my muscles strong and my body tighter, so I can't complain too bad!

YOU on the other hand have come SO FAR, it's really amazing and the Bfore pic by your bed is a great idea!

Thanks!! I am truly in the one day at a time mind set. Days are passing, I'm doing the "work", and fortunately enough... I'm seeing results. 38 pounds is great, but on a big guy... it's just not that noticable yet! It will be, so I'm not down, just drudging along so to speak. :)
 
Wow

I stumbled on your journal post and it was like reading my own story (except I tried the drinking part for a while). Just wanted to wish you good luck and tell you I've found that there is no better motivation than doing something truly for yourself.
 
You are AMAZING!!!

JZ, you are truly an amazing person! The depth and the warmth of how you talk about your kids, gives me such sadness! I can feel the LOVE :beating: soooo much from you, and it makes me sad to have not ever had that with my dad, though he was there for tons of years! :( ....sometimes, being there isn't the same as wanting to be there, or caring like you do for that matter.....

...the holidays are amazing for your kids, just knowing that YOU are the one that they can call DADDY, and that you CARE for them the way that you display every second.....that's a REAL GIFT that stands the tests of time!!! :grouphug: Better than any ONE particular day spent together! You make it Christmas all year round, and I have a verrrrrry stong feeling that this NEXT CHRISTMAS you are going to be given the PRESENTS OF YOUR LIFE.......

....healing, self love, warmth, LOVING KIDS (which you already have), happiness, time, freedom, a NEW HOT BODY,...and who knows you might just get a bunny in a box to play with and show you a LOT OF LOVE cause you deserve it!!! If there is anyone who has ever touched me at the first sight of their words, it has been YOU MY FRIEND!!!....LOL!!!.....


...I'm excited and blessed to know you, CONGRATS on those workouts!!! Impressive!.....:iagree:!!!!!

VERY TRUE!!! That's what I've come to learn... well actually remember! Keeping self promises is the STRONGEST self esteem builder there is, in my own opinion anyway. I've been reintroduced to ME, and I'm loving it.

Thanks for posting. I appreciate all comments, advice, humor...

Or you could use my excuse--pregnancy hormones. :biggrinjester:

Alta is right, though. I agree with what she said. :)

I just hope you don't burst into tears if the LIons actually win a game. :biggrinjester:

Well, whether they win one or not, one thing's for sure--they will waste a good draft pick. :rofl:
 
I always tease my daughter that in a few years she'll have a nice goatee like her daddy. :biggrinjester: Thank god, though, that they take after their mother, although ugly does build character. :D
