I don't know what I'd do if my racquetball strings broke??? There's no one around here that restrings...I carry two 'el cheapo backups...but man, I'd hate to go back to those things.

Sorry ive been MIA lately... really really tough week.....hey guys, just stopping in to say hi! i didn't do muhc on sat but teach and sleep. today i played 2.5 hours of tennis then ran a mile. that's about all the exercise i'm doing. have a going away party to attend for my cousin, which i need to get ready for! i'll give you guys more details on my weekend tonight or tomorrow morning. hope everyone is enjoying the weekend!
morning all! today was a meh day at the gym. well not meh, but only half done i guess. i decided to hold off on cardio, because i was so tired. i did 2.5 hours of tennis plus ran a mile on sunday, so i figure i'm good. I did do my full body workout with weights which was excellent!. no complaints there. i talked with some of the vets and we went over what i eat now a days, and we figure i do in fact eat too little. i was giving things more cals than i thought or something, which explains the week that i had pizza and such i lost 4 lbs, then like 1 lb. the next.. this week i stayed the same, so what eves. Not discouraged at all, as i know things are working, relly can tell you about my progress, lol. friday when i went out to eat i saw a waitress what used to work at a restaurant in the mall i worked in. When she saw me she just kept telling me how good i look and how much weight i've lost, then she was asking how i did it and i don't need to lose more and blah blah. it was nice, but crazy. Sunday when i went to the aprty, my fam was the same way. there were members that i've not seen in this decade, so it was quite a shock. I didn't understand how they notice a change until i went to grab my class shirt from high school to wear to my 10 year reunion picnic. i figure i should be able to fit it now since it was 10 years ago and i've lost a good amount. turns out, i was wrong, but in a good way. i never really realized how big i was, but that shirt was a 3x. My gym uniform from 9th grade was a 1x i really blue up. i currently wear a large, which lets me know that i'm smaller than i was when i was 14 years old. I was only like 5'3" then too so it must have been bad. I'm 5'8" now by the way, not tall by any means lol. so ya. that was my weekend in a nutshell. crazy crazy crazy. how is everyone else doing?

Played some cutthroat with a guy who "played a little tennis in college" on Saturday...he murdered us. Every time he hit the ball it sounded like an explosion...I've never seen anything like it. He could also hit the touch shots really well. He said he's made the switch now and hardly plays tennis much anymore...go figure.

LOLOLOLOL. i can just imagine with the acoustics in the room. every time he hit!
i got a co-worker who wants me to come play one of these days, maybe i'll take him up on the offer.
tuesday.....
hey guys. it tuesday now. 65 min of elliptical and in my hour i put in 7.3 miles for 1015 calories. it ended up being 1081 and 7.55 after the cool down. good times. I am seriously considering bowing out of the whole diary thing. i figure there is enough info here for anyone who is interested to get a good idea of what i'm doing to lose weight. As i said before this diary was never for me. it was simply made so that people that are excessively overweight can see that it can be done. I've posted my thoughts and mind set on a lot of things as people asked, but people don't ask much any more. So me just posting the same thing every week, since i generally do the same thing every week has become redundant. There were people who asked me not tostop, and i do notice i get a lot of views, heck i even got a pm from someone i never saw before on here telling that my journal was inspiring and they read every single page, which is awesome, and its nice to know that, but the level of interaction seems blah. I don't really need to be cheered on, so its not that. it just seems that no one really needs or wants MY assistance so why bother. and most of the people who asked me to keep going aren't here anymore, so blah. i'm still debating so i'll probably finish out the week, but i leaning heavy to reducing my posts in this thing dramatically. Now, that's not to say i won't be posting in other threads, just not mine. its like talking to a wall here sometimes, and well that isn't fun. lol. hope all is well with everyone.

Thats soo great that you can find the motivation without having to be cheered on. BUT.....gosh darn it! I still need to be cheered on and reading your diary and keeping tabs on the amount of working out you do is great motivation. I do NEED and WANT your assistance, whether it be by you posting updates in your diary or leaving messages in mine.

Hey Clare! I know excatly what you mean... I am mostly over at Steve's forum, which is awesome! I only stop in here every once in awhile but it is a little blah as well.. I have gotten to the point, where I too, have a come a long way but I need a different set of ideals that are keeping me going at this point... I love reading up on you but I do know how you feel! Hope to see you around!

well, regardless of what you decide to do, just know i do read your journal and i do like to see what you are up to and how things are. Im feeling a little blah here lately too.... maybe i need a change of scenery. I dont know.
What i do know is, im not going to completely snub this website... because the people here and the info here is what got me to the first 29 lbs lost... and i couldnt have done it without this site.
i do need to be stretched more though...so i am keeping my mind open!

I thought you said you were leaving and you didnt really care...
Maybe we shouldnt talk when I am in and out of consciousness, HA HA HA
I think you shouldnt go but that is just me...Ok not just me, but my opinion...
Oh mai gawd!
SO i am home. When i got home i ran. it was 85 degrees. tooo hot. i was gonna try for 4 miles. this path had major inclines and declines, which i've never ran before. i did 2.3 in 23 min, then i got a call from my friend letting me know he was at my house early to play tennis, since i knew it would be at least another 20 min, i just went on home and called it at 2.3 miles. and yes, you read right. i went to play tennis. not my best game today lol. played for 1.5 hours before deciding i need to rest. the crazy part? i want to go run another mile right now. but i'm not. i just ordered food. i'll eat and go to bed. save some energy for tomorrow's workout. i bet i'll be feeling this tomorrow. not to mention my 65 min on the elliptical this morning. cardio central today. i guess i am making up for the fact i won't be exercising tomorrow night, although i may run a mile anyway. thansk for the replies guys. like i said i am debating with the journal but i am definitely not going anywhere. if you guys truly still find inspiration form this thing. i'll do it for just the few of you. but don't say it because you think i'll stop overall if i stop posting in it, because that is not the case. tal to you guys in the morning.

Wow, that's some serious weight you're lifting there, at least by my standards.
I don't know how long (if ever) it is going to take me to get to where you are now. 315 squat is terrifying to even contemplate.
How long did it take you to get to this level?
I started in the gym 2 months ago, and have managed to go from just bodyweight squats to 5x5 at 140. I know I can probably lift more, but I am taking it slow and focusing on good stability as I slowly ramp up the weight. OTOH, I've hit a plateau on most of my other lifts.
I understand if you want to discontinue the diary because it isn't doing it for you anymore. While I (and many others I'm sure) thoroughly enjoy reading it, for inspiration and as example (I know I use your activity levels as a sort of goal to shoot for), ultimately the diary is supposed to be for you.
And if it seems that no one is interacting with you on your diary, well, maybe it is because you seem to have everything together so well that there isn't much we can add. I know I read your diary regularly, but often don't have much that I can say about it (except to think "how am I ever going to measure up to this guy?").
It is good to know, however, that you will still be sticking around. I know I count on your feedback.
Life is a journey, and we move through stages of it as we go along. It makes sense that, while this site is useful at a particular stage of your journey, there comes a time when your need to move on to get what you need.
