storm_knight's journal (because diarys are for girl =p)

So... my food log for today looks all messed up. I drank one small bottle of mountain dew, one serving of corn chips, 6 bottles of beer and one long island ice tea. I still only took in like 1300 calories but that doesn't sound healthy at all. =(

On the bright side I went out with some friends tonight and had a lot of fun. I drank and danced and I had a lot of self confidence which is strange for me. I think just knowing that I've been trying to lose weight and have been somewhat successful the last month helped.
 
Well I weighed myself this morning and edited my ticker with the information since the first day I started working out.
 
I've been slacking off. I didn't work out at all yesterday or today but I've still been counting my calories... if that matters. :cuss:
 
It matters! As long as you count those calories, you'll maintain :)

And remember, sometimes you need time to "slack off"... it's called relaxing!

Why not allow yourself one time during the week when you should go exercise, and just listen to your body about whether or not you wanna go workout! Just make a deal with yourself that if you skip that day, you will make up for it on another.

Glad to hear your clothes fit better and your confidence is building. And hey, every now and then you gotta have a "liquid diet" day :p
 
Awesome! You are being very consistent with your workouts, it WILL pay off!

Oh, I think there's a thread in recipes that gives cool ideas for salads... in case you wanted some ideas... (salads CAN be an entire meal, but only if you got protein and carbs in there too - in my opinion :) )
 
You can stick pasta in there too for carbs, or couscous. Or corn. And then you can use chicken too... mmmm, loooove me some salad!
 
Nothing to report really. I've felt like crap all day and only worked out for 20 minutes. I'm still having a really hard time sleeping.
 
Why do you feel so crap? It's all you've been saying lately... What are your problems, let's find solutions!!!
 
I have just been feeling run down, tired, stressed, a little sick. I shouldn't feel run down and tired. I didn't work out Saturday and Sunday and only worked out 20-30 minutes the last three days. It shouldn't because I'm not eating enough because I've maintained 1400-1600 calories a day which is more then I was last week when I was working out a lot more. I don't really know what's going on with me.

*EDIT*

So I tried on a couple of shirts that I accidentally got that were the wrong size and I was too lazy to return. A month ago I barely button them and now they fit! I look damn good in them too. =p

I felt really drained today so I didn't work out. I feel guilty for it too.

I'll be at a friend's house tomorrow for the 4th of July so I won't be eating healthy and will be on a heavy liquid diet. Lets hope I can make up for it this weekend.
 
Hehehe, hope you enjoy the celebrations!

Awesome about the shirts, great feeling huh?!

Maybe you should go see a doc for a general check up... maybe there's something medically wrong.

Ciao for now!
 
I majorly cheated today. Had cheesy eggs and toast for breakfast, cheese burger for lunch, hot dog for dinner, a couple of rum and cokes, four beers.

I guess it's a little better since I also walked five miles around my friend's neighborhood.

I kind of felt depressed today. I was surrounded by couples, and families. It made me feel very lonely. It also didn't help that I've slept about 20 minutes in the last couple of days.
 
Well I didn't work out yesterday. Instead I went to a BBQ, lol. The exact thing I didn't need to do.

On an unrelated note my friend took me flying today. I've flown with him before and once we were in the air he'd let me hold onto the controls and fly straight and level for a little while. That was cool and everything... but today he let me taxi, take off, and fly until final approach! It was one of the coolest things I've ever done! I'm seriously considering going to flight school now. I've been pissed at myself lately for being 24 and not knowing what I want to do with my life but after we landed I was looked my my friend and said, "You actually get paid to do this?" and he said, "Yup, it's fucking awesome huh?" LOL
 
I can't sleep... but I can't stop smiling either. I think I really found what I want to do the rest of my life. Now I just need to find a way to get my grandfather to help by cosigning on a student loan.
 
It's hard when the one person that you know that has good enough credit to cosign on a loan so I can get money to go to school doesn't want me to go to school. He just wants me to get a shit job and work my way up... which doesn't happen anymore really. Especially when the jobs I have experience with are all getting outsourced anyways.

It's been way too hot to work out lately. Today it was 108 and tomorrow it's supposed to be 112. My house only has a swamp cooler so when it's really hot outside it's pretty damn hot in the house too. Like today it was about 90 inside the house. There's no way I'm doing some turbo jam in that heat. On a good note just by watching what I'm eating I've lost 1.2lbs in the last 5 days. So at least I'm still making progress... just not as much as I wanted.
