Sam's from Chunk to Hunk Journal :)

So... Haven't been to the gym as much as I'd hoped this weekend. Actually not at all... This cold whatever thing I got has been kicking my butt. I thought I was getting better but yesterday and today I've felt like crap. I've been sleeping a lot and definitely don't feel up to working out. I think it would probably just intenisfy the sinusy headache thing i got going...

Hopefully I can get to the gym and do some cardio tomorrow. I need to. I hate how I was doing so well and then had to get sick, that always sucks!!! It's funny but my body seems to get sick every 4 months like clockwork...

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Boo to sickness and physical problems. Its always a big bummer when you are rollin' along and something like that knocks you outta the game for a little bit. I know you'll come back with just as much oomph as before, but setbacks are frustrating. I guess our bodies may be more vulnerable to sickness when always in caloric deficit. Seems logical? Maybe the flipside is that our bodies probably burn more calories trying to fight off sickness, so hey, maybe you'll come out on top? Drink plenty of h2o and eat some greens, you'll be back to norm in no time.
 
hey guys, thanks for stopping by:)

I feel a lot better today but still not a 100%. I notice myself sleeping for like 12 hours at a time on a regular basis the past week or so... I want to go for a run tonite so bad but, I dont' know if it would be a good idea.. I do see the PT in the morning, so I might just leave it at that and just begin my regular workouts again tomorrow...

I'm a little nervous about the weigh in tomorrow morning... I think I might be up a few lbs. I might just skip it this week, or postpone it for a few days until I see a loss.

Tomorrow my little bro turns 21! I can't believe it, all my siblings are officially legal now. Kind of strange, lol. He and my other bro are going to Vegas this weekend with some of their friends. I opted out of going and now i get the house to myself for 4 whole days, woot!woot!

My friend who had the gastric bypass surgery on 4/30 is now down 30lbs!!! Crazy crazy. I'm excited for her:)

Happy Monday,
Sam
 
Hey all :)

Hit the gym this morning with the PT. We did a pretty good chest/shoulder/back workout, and then I followed it with 30 minutes cardio. I didn't really run, my lungs still feel a little overwhelmed with that, so I mostly walked at an incline, and then moved over to the crosstrainer.

My trainer is trying to get the head-training position at my gym and asked me to write a letter of reccommendation for him. I told him I absolutely would, and I'm excited for him and hope he gets it.

Went to lunch with my dad and my bros to celebrate my little bros. 21st bday. I kind of overdid it but, I am still stuffed and figure if I just take it easy food wise for the rest of the day I will probably be okay.

Stuck at work till 10pm as usual... I will probably be able to get to many diaries tonite:D

-Sam
 
Glad you're starting to feel better!

Happy Birthday to your brother! :party:

Are you into basketball at all? The Jazz are holding their own against the Lakers. :)

Somebody was saying yesterday that Mormons don't drink caffeine. Is this true? What about decaf coffee, tea and soda? Thought you might know the answer to this, since you're such a devout Mormon. :p

Hope you're having a good night at work!
 
Hey all :)

I answered your question about Mormons in your diary Kimberly. I will answer it here too because I am such a blantant double poster that it isn't even funny ;)...

Mormons don't drink caffeine, or at least their not supposed to. The really devout mormons look at it as a drug like any other but, they have no problem taking prescribed pills or an Advil for a headache... I'm not a Mormon though myself, so I'm not a complete expert. This is just info I have from living in UT for all my 25yrs and being around mormons... I always joke that I would burst into flames if I walked into a Mormon church... I, myself don't practice any religion persay, I am spiritual though and believe in some sort of God, and Karma, definitely Karma :)

Didn't make it to the gym yet today and I'm almost already halfway thru my shift at work. I should really go home tonite and get ready for the gym and go workout for awhile. I need to get back into the running, I don't want it to be too hard to work back up to where I was...

Happy TLD Wednesday to all those who apply! :sifone:

-Sam
 
Hello my little double poster...lol Since I already responded to this in my diary, I won't do it again..lol

Still watching the Jazz/Lakers game. Start of the 4th and Lakers are up by 1. C'mon Jazz, let's pull off the win!!

Happy TLD yourself! Let's go rub some boobs and pretend we like it. :smilielol5:
 
Hey... Damn shame about the Jazz and Lakers last nite... Wish they could have pulled off the win... Damn that Kobe O'Bryant, lol!!! My bros are now in Vegas and plan to go get drunk and watch the game at the ESPN place on Friday nite. They are going to wear their Jazz gear and fight with all the Lakers fans, lol...

So, found some before pics and took some after pics and I will probably try to post them this weekend. I got them out and printed mostly for my trainer, who needs them in his portfolio for the promotion he is up for. I will put them on here though, just gimme a couple days or so :D

Food went really good yesterday. Exercise didn't happen, so I'm hoping to go after work tonite and get in a run. I've been a big slacker lately... Time to turn it around. I found out I have a little over 3 weeks until the PRIDE celebration here in Utah, and I want to be able to look as good as I can, so that is my motivation for now...

-Sam
 
Yeah that totally sucked about the Laker win. It was so close at so many times, I thought the Jazz might pull it off. No such luck. I hope your bros give those Lakers fans hell!! :D

So do the Morms protest the PRIDE celebration? Wouldn't surprise me...lol

Glad you're getting back into running. I'm sure you'll feel excellent afterwards. :)
 
Hey guys and gals,

So I posted some pics in the before/after section of this forum and changed up my avatar :D

Made it to the gym on Thursday night and did a bunch of cardio. I ran and it felt great. I gotta get back there again. Working overnite tonite and so far so good. Sleeping tomorrow in my un-airconditioned house during the day is going to be another story... It was like 85 today and it tends to get really hot in bedroom... Tomorrow is supposed to be like 90, so hopefully I can keep it cool in there for long enough to get at least a few decent hours of sleep... I can't sleep when its too hot.

Jazz lost last nite and that sucks... It was a good game, I only caught the last quarter though because I was at a hockey game, in which our Utah Grizzlies lost to Las Vegas. That put them at done for this season, so I basically watched both my teams last night lose :cry:

Hope everyone has a great rest of the weekend,

Sam

Thanks PinkClouds:blush5: :)

Planning on getting to the gym tonite for some core and a run. I bought a digital stopwatch that I want to use to see how fast I run outside, and then try to work on better the time.

Food has been so/so... Stuck at work today. Not much else to report. My bros got back from Vegas and lived to tell about it, lol. The airconditioning is finally working in my house, so I'm good.

-Sam
 
Glad to hear your a/c is back on! I become very crabby when it's hot and I have none...lol.

I'm sure your bros didn't have it easy in Vegas. Better luck next season. :)

Hope you had a good run tonight!
 
Hello everybody!

So, got up and did the whole gym thing this morning. Felt really good. Did some core and 40 minutes of cardio. Food has been pretty good so far today as well.

I also found out that my schooling is going to start sooner than I had been anticipating... They called me today and told me they had an opening for me in the Fall 2008 Nursing Program that I was on the waiting list for. I thought about it and decided to go ahead and start this fall like they had offered, instead of deferring to next year sometime.... Very nervous and excited. I haven't been in school for 2 years now and need to snap back into that mode, lol. I also have a ton of stuff I have to do before orientation coming up in July. There is this ginormous list of immunizations I have to get, and re-CPR certified. Not too worried, just taking it one step at a time. I also need to review all my prerequisite class material and get back into that. I feel like I've forgotten so much in the past 2-3 years but, there are a lot of people in the same boat as me, so I will not be alone.

Happy news, kind of nerve-racking though:)

Hope everyone is having an excellent Tuesday!
-Sam
 
Wow, congrats on getting into nursing school! :hurray: That's so cool. I'm sure you'll do just fine. 2yrs out of school isn't that long to be away from it. Are you going to continue to work at your current job while you study, or won't there be time? I woud imagine nursing school would keep you pretty busy.

Nice job at the gym today, too. :)
