Matt's place to vent and babble

Always loved this poem, just thought I'd share. It really has some good meaning:

If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you won't.
If you like to win, but think you cant,
It's almost a cinch that you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you've lost,
For out in the world you'll find
Success begins with a person's will;
It's all in the state of mind.

Life's battles don't always go
To the strongest or fastest man
But sooner or later the person who wins
Is the person who thinks he can."

Hey Matt thanks for the encouragement, bro!

You know I lost a shit ton of weight doing Atkins about 7 years ago, but blew it all away and put it back on, and then some. The difference for me was that in those days I really didn't pay attention to what was real... if that makes sense? I lost the weight because I stuck to a harsh regimen diet wise, not out of any real knowledge of what my body needed. This time I am endeavoring to make sure I gain as much knowledge as possible about my body's needs etc. I feel like with the right personal education, I'm less likely to slip up than before.

Regarding the strength/body image/ belly fat/ loose skin w/e etc part, all I can say dude is I'd at least like to be where you are at in terms of weight loss! Then maybe I can be worried about that stuff too!! Right now I should really focus primarily on the weight loss aspect and keeping most of what I have in terms of lean mass.
 
So I went for a 4 mile walk/hike today with a 50lb backpack on. I felt good except for my :cuss: hiking boots. I spent a lot of money on these things and they suck. For some reason they did not break in the way I was hoping. The are killing my little toe on both feet. Oh well, I'm going to try to wear them some more and see if i can get used to them. Hopefully i figure some something out before next month's hike.

Everyone enjoy the night.

GO BRUINS, CELTICS and RED SOX!!!!!!
 
OMG!!! A hike with a 50lb backback.. that sounds challenging.. and sucky boots... hell naww!!!!!!!

:party::party:GO CELTICS!!!! :party::party: i KINDA AGREE ON THIS ONE.. I WILL GIVELAKERS ONE MORE CHANCE TODAY.. BUT I DON'T KNOW... :nopity::nopity:
 
Hey Matt
I am back from being out of town...

He gained it back in my opinion because he didnt lose it quite right in the first place. He would eat stuff like lettuce and garbanzo beans...at some point you need real food. And he stopped exercising (walking etc..working out)...I think he could have stabilized his food if he would have kept both up but he dropped them both. His friends gave him a hard time too at hunting camp about not eating..that used to piss me off.

Sorry about the hiking boots, same thing happend with me and some running shoes, ended up giving them to my kid

well suckah..just wanted to tell you i was back

:)
hugz and flowery shit
me
 
I got up this morning at 4:30 and to the gym, 40 min on the eliptical and to work by 7am. Heading back at lunch for some weights. I love when i can go twice.

babble: so i have always been fascinated with Mount Everest. A few weeks ago i was checking around iTunes and stumbled across a documentary called The Rest Of Everest and it's about a 23yo american that hikes it. It was made into a one hour movie (which i havent watched) but they also have the unabridged version that covers the whole journey from start to finish. It is so indepth about everything and i'm totally into this series. It's actually a 100 episodes and each one last 20-30 minutes. They just got to base camp and are preparing for advanced base camp. It certainly makes the time on the elliptical go quick. Anyone interested should check it out, it's well worth it.

Can I jump on the bandwagon? :cuss::cuss::cuss::cuss: Bruins!!!


Anyway, went to the gym today during my lunch hour and did 35 minutes on the stairmaster. I my eating has been good lately and still at 210 but it's trending down so hopefully that continues. I'm actually going back after work becuase i have to kill a couple hours so I'll go walk at an incline. I'm really trying to get ready for my hike at the end of the month. I cant wait.

I'm playing poker tonight with the guys from work so that will be a nice break. I dont enjoy cards as much as i once did but it's still a night out to relax.

Everyone enjoy their weekends.
 
How did the cards go???? We used to play a little but we are home bodies now...I love to play Keno at the bars. State of MI has it and its nice to sit down eat a meal and watch number roll in..I hate gambling at casino but like the keno thing

anyway

wings tomorrow

YAY
 
helllllllllllllllllllllloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

(echo echo echo)

where's everyone?

GO WINGS (again):party:
 
I'm still here and hevent gone anywhere. JUst not much going on . Cards was pretty uneventful. The guys i play with all think they are on the poker tour. i hate it.

Hopefully the C's can pull it out tonight. I think they can beat this team. If not it's just the Sox till football starts.

Well, off to enjoy my Sunday with the family.


Matt
 
well i kind of stopped playing because we have this friend who is big time competitive...i will tell u a story in a minute...but i caught her cheating...she was dealer and when people would fold (and she didnt) when they would throw her their folded cards, she would look at them. I was like "bitch you cant look at cards people throw in if you are still in the hand"....

anyway..here is how competitive she is...

one night.... she and i had a tape measure....and you know how you can pull the tape out so far and pretty soon it collapses....well...we were seeing who could get it to go the longest inches/feet without collapsing....if you get pull it out at a certain angle you can get it to go pretty far...we got so we were laying on the floor and getting it all the way to the ceiling. pretty soon we ended up outside at about 11 oclock at night. I dont remember how many feet we got it to go but it was pretty good.


then...another time we are coming home from a UofM softball game, and she puts the radio on scan and for some reason we started guesing the artist and name of song..of course the first person to say it wins a point. it got so loud in the fukin truck because there were 5 of us women screaming...we laughed our asses off at this one...we tried to do it another time but it didnt have the same excitement....i was pretty good at it and it pissed her off so bad. I think she practices now..
 
I know what you mean by competitive people. I bet i could have beat both of you. :D

So, what a bad weekend for Boston sports. Holy !@*&% they all sucked. Now it's just the Red Sox until the Patriots start.

I was all ready to get up for the gym this morning and go before work. I like doing this because it wakes me up and really gets me going. I usually do my cardio at this time and will lift at lunch. I set the alarm clock wrong and got up late. :cuss::cuss::cuss: I was so pissed. I still have time to go at lunch but I really wanted to go early. Not a good way to start a Monday.

It's ok.. It's already done and over with.. So don't get mad about the alarm clock... and ewwwwwwwwww did the Celtics fuck up!!! I really thought they could beat Orlando.. I mean just cause of the nasty rep with the Celtics and the lakers I wasn't overly mad when they lost :smilielol5: :smilielol5: but I truly thought they were a better team than orlando. As I knew that my bipolar lakers were better!!!! Other than that Matt wishing you a wonderful week.. I went hiking twice last week but hell nah with a 50lb backpack. Can't wait till the day I'm telling those stories.. Take care my friend..:party:
