Swampys diary.

So I'm totally sick, I have a combination of like the flu cold and something else weird. It's pretty damn terrible. I can't workout obviously, and am not tracking my shit on fitday cause I can barely get out of bed... but I haven't been eating much.

I hope you get well soon man. Its alright that you cant exercise, just focus on getting better and then you can get right back on track.
 
Thanks =)

But yeah, I could have easily ate healthy today and I totally didn't. I'm pretty much over being sick so no more excuses. I'm scared to weigh myself tommorow D=.
 
Ok back to hardwork today. The only thing that is going to throw me off is my weird ass sleeping schedule that I have going on right now. I have been going to bed at like 9am and waking up 7pm. I will just switch the PM to AM for now and just pretend like it's morning untill I get it fixed =P. If I wait any longer I'm gonna be back right where I started. That weekend TOTALLY threw me off, no more excuses.
 
Bah, I feel so off track... it really sucks. I need some motivation or something. I'm gonna try to stay awake all day to get my sleeping schedule back on track, maybe read some past journal entrys here to remember how good it feels to do good. =(. There's always tommorow I guess.
 
Still been doing really bad, I keep trying to change my sleeping schedule but its hard to flip it completely. I woke up at 8pm today so I should be able to stay up till 5pm tommorow and sleep till 4-5am hopefully if I make myself, then it should be fixed.

So yay.
 
Ok... I have offically gotten back on track. Woke up at 8am today, perfect. No more staying up till 8am bullshit which is what I honestly think which threw me off track.

I am moving out on tuesday, and I will no longer have my treadmill/bowflex type thing, so I will have to join a gym.. which I'm dreading. Anyway I'll post updates throughout the day again like a good boy.
 
K so for breakfast, half a banana (it was gross)... 2 pieces of jelly toaste and fat-free yogurt. 450 calories.

But this past week, I went crazy. I think I got it all out my system again and glad I'm back on track and didn't wait TOO long, so all that other work I did isn't completely lost, although most of it is. I gained so much weight. Foods included asian buffet and mcdonalds =O. i was baddd.
 
So not that I have been doing a great job of losing weight. But I have been doing better than 'normal'. I just moved into my own apartment too, and am getting a job at UPS lifting boxes all night. Theres a really quiet, not busy at all street right next to the apartments that goes by a lake that I'm gonna start running on, right when it's not -20 degrees out anymore. Anywho, I don't have a microwave anymore so that cuts out all that crap. Anyway, I'm going shopping today and I'm going ot make a list before I go so I can get some good stuff to hopefully get back on track.
 
and am getting a job at UPS lifting boxes all night.

I think every guy in the world has worked at UPS at one point in their life, lol. It's like getting paid to lose weight.

Warning!! Some of the trucks smell so awful that they can cause you to nearly pass out, due to lack of air (no joke). Wet, moldy cardboard was the cause. Beware...
 
hey people. sorry about the no posts I have been without internet. We got it all fixed though and fucking finally because I about died without it. Yah, so all this moving and shit has not been good on my weight loss, but I'm not sure how bad. I'm without a scale so ya. I don't think it's been anything to terrible, but I am deffiantly 'not on track' I went today finally and signed up for a gym though. I can go monday, wednesdays and fridays (thats the plan I signed up for). So maybe I will go tommorow. Yahh.. my internet is back up now so hopefully I can get back into this.
 
Alright! Good to see ya back.

There are a few fans of your diary that want to see you succeed! Head to the gym at least everyday that you schedule it, and let's get down to business.

We're here to encourage you all the way bud.
 
Today I went to the grocery store, since my oven is fixed.. and got a ton of really good healthy food. So I have absolutly no unhealthy food in my apartment except 2 frozen pizzas for when I have friends over or whatever. I have been working out but not as regulary as I'd like to. I weighed myself and I am back up to 260 pounds, but thats ok.. I thought it would be a lot worse. Without my oven I was eating a lot of fast food like wendys and what not. I still have 13 pounds down from my intial weight nad I am going to keep trying to get back on pace again. I think a lot of you were right when I said I was overdoing it with the excercise and diet at first, I think I need to ease into it easier like I've been doing, gradual change will be more consistent I think.

I haven't been drinking any Sodas, and if I do (wendys omg) I will get a diet... I am low on money right now and have no job so I have to stop eating there anyway, and why eat there when I just bought all this delicous food!

Ok so has anyone ever tried natrual peanut butter. that shiz is nasty, lol. It's so oily and gross. Anyway, I ate pretty good today... I can't not eat good because everything I have is like crazy good for me. I just made fried some mushrooms and onions, so good. I frickin love mushroom and onions.
 
I woke up at 4pm (I need to fix my sleeping schedule again >>) And made myself 3 scrambled eggs with some red and green peppers in them. Yum. I'll try to keep updated on what else I eat today. I should really start using fitday again.
 
Hey everyone, kind of forgot about this. For about a month I went back to my old eating habbits, and gained back most of hte weight (about 14 pounds) in that time, ridicoulous I know. Anyway, I am now going to a center that is helping me lose the weight. I am on basically a low carb diet that but isn't as restricted. I don't count vegetables or fruits for the carbs, and I don't count calories. I don't eat anything with sugar, dairy, or gluton wheats in it either. I am back down to where I've started, just about. I am at 256 and when I was doing good before I was down to 253. I go to meetings everyday 5 days a week for 6 weeks (I am in my second week), and then go once a week for 6 months for follow ups.

This is helping me stay focused a LOT, and would be ridicously suprised if I didn't keep going on with it. I am loving the groups (it is also for alchohol and drugs, so it fits me perfect) and loving the way I am feeling. I am on many natural nutrients too to help repair my body. I will probably start posting in here regulary again, because it helped me so much last time.
 
Welcome back Swampy!

Glad to hear you're back on track and feeling positive again.
Hope to hear more about your journey and how you think these new diet changes could be applied long-term in order to prevent relapses such as the one you mentioned.
