ALifestyle changes are so hard...Life is hard in general. Thanks for the support. I'm having some dark days, here, and I know that it's going to be up and down right now. I'm not going to give up, but I'm probably going to struggle until my mind stops being such a pain in the ass.
MLB, been meaning to stop by your journal. Sounds like you're doing well from what I read in Crym's Before & After thread. That EA Active sounds great. I just need to motivation to pop it into my XBOX 360. I kind of wish I had gotten it on PS3 so I could join in with the others.
Bad day yesterday, and it feels like it'll be this way for a few days...
I headed into work feeling alright, I had a booster juice (a nice treat, still under my goal too). I was debating all day whether or not to cave in and have a pizza from next door. I know it would be bad, but man, it was hard. I looked up their site, and saw that they had bread sticks, which were 36 calories x 8 and would have been just under my goal. I bought them, was in a great mood, and all that...
I fixed about 15 discs for a lady who had dropped her movies in. The second to last disc got cracked in our machine, and I felt awful about it. I phoned our other stores and one of them had the disc, so I had them put it on hold. When she showed up, she was a little miffed, but decent about it. I told her to pick the movie up at our other store, and that she could get her remaining discs cleaned at our third store (they have the best cleaning machine we own). Anyway, turns out the disc that got cracked was the special features disc, not the movie, and none of our stores had it. Also, she went to get her remaining discs cleaned, and that store was out of cleaning solution. I imagine she got really pissed that I sent her across town to two other stores for nothing. I felt awful...
My co-worker left at 9, and I was about to eat my bread sticks. I was trying to get over the whole disc incident. For the last 2 hours or so, we had a guy in the store. He was joking around, chatting, asking all sorts of questions. Said he was buying a PSP system, and a 3DS for his four year old kid. My coworker rang in the items, and left the bag on the counter. I moved it to the side counter just in case. People have stolen things from our counter before. The guy finished looking around, and I got everything ready on the til. I was by myself and it was a little busy, but I'm used to multitasking. Nothing bad has happened in a while. The guy hands me what I thought was a Visa card, it had the logo. I got a phone call at the same time. I don't normally work at this store, so the debit machine is different. I had to swipe the card again, while I answered the woman on the phone. I saw the guy reach over the counter from the corner of my eye and take the bag.
It was kind of a "flight or fight" response I guess...I dropped the phone, shouted at him, and he bolted. A guy was coming into the store and didn't stop him, so I ran. I chased him down the strip mall to the corner. He had a head start, was faster...he jumped into a car that was waiting for him. I tried to see the license plate but it was dark and my eyes aren't that great. I was pissed. I went back to the store, called my manager. By then I started bawling my eyes out, I panicked. My manager had his dad (the owner of the stores) came in and they thought I had been robbed, so I think they were a little irritated by that, but they kept asking if I was okay. I'm embarrassed, I was crying like a fucking baby and I probably looked like a helpless wuss when nothing major happened...I'm angry at myself. There are so many things I could have done to stop it from happening. I should have noticed that the card was, in fact, a "visa gift card" with the amount scratched out. I should have kept the bag of stuff on the floor, or further back on the counter. This happened once before when I was working, but at the time I had been in the back when the guy stole a stack of games from my co-worker.
I ended up throwing my bread sticks into the garbage. I felt sick, and upset, and angry.
Since then I've been in a foul mood. I have to talk to the police tomorrow. I know I shouldn't have chased him, but damn it, these kind of people PISS ME OFF. I think to myself, if only I had been in better shape, maybe I could have caught him. But then, he could have had a knife and stabbed me, ugh...still, it grinds my nerves.
I hate to say it, but this is why I'm so recluse. I feel that I can't trust anyone, people cheat, they steal, they lie and they only look out for number one (I've seen this more than nice, helpful people. I know not everyone is cruel...). People are unpredictable. We have kids in here stealing all the time, adults coming in with stolen stuff to get cash like we're a pawn shop (and we can't prove it's stolen, but brand new product traded in usually is). I feel like I can't trust any of my customers anymore. I hate this, I hate how low people can get. We're a locally owned business trying to get by without deep corporation pockets and they come in here and steal our stuff.
Little things keep happening, and it's just pissing me off, like the bus driver passing my stop when I rang the bell.
So I'm just trying to get by the days, I did go to Curves yesterday and today, so at least there's that. My food has been up and down, but I'm just so damn moody...It'll pass. I have these dark periods once in a while and there's little I can do. So long as I don't stop completely, I'll be okay. I just have to weather the storm...
Today I had
Apple for 50
Lean Cuisine chicken for 300
McDonalds for 1900
Total: 2250
Today I did
Curves for 405
Walking for 280

Day 24 - When did you first notice your hard work paying off?
About 10-15lb loss, I began to notice my sides are more slim. I used to feel my love handles against my arms when I sat. I can sort of see the loss around my face, but not too much, which makes me a little disappointed. I can hide my body, not my face. I'm sure by the time I'm down to 200 I'll have a more defined jawline. Every 10lb's lost I feel better, so it doesn't matter. Just knowing I reached my goals is enough.

Holy crap =\
That really sucks, Loch. I'm sorry you had to go through that :\
You're right though, don't take chances with trying to catch thugs like that. A few pieces of merchandise don't compare to your safety. I know how aggravating it can be with some of these scumbags running around in the world, but please be careful and watch out for yourself first.
I agree with you about your outlook on people in general sometimes. It's like you constantly have to keep your guard up. I find myself usually going into a situation thinking the worst at first, but I've always been pretty pessimistic. It's been a habit of mine for as long as I can remember
I'm still more comfortable interacting with people online rather than face-to-face, but I hope that changes as I get closer to my goal.
For now, it's all about my regimen. I don't really care about much else at the moment.
I know there are good, honest people out there. In fact, a good amount reside on this forum, which is probably why I'm on here so often
Well, I hope you're feeling better and have a great week next week, Loch

In the interest of remaining focused on your goals, Loch, I wanted to share with you one of the more recent clips I added to my treadmill video collection
It's from X-Men First Class which, I think, is an excellent superhero movie
I think this is one of the most poignant scenes I've added so far as I can emotionally relate to how Erik (Magneto) is feeling, having lost his mother when he was young and discovering his true potential within himself later on. It just really hits me on a deeper level than some of my other videos. I put it on my Youtube account recently, but it may get removed due to copyright crap and blah blah blah :[
Until then, I think it speaks volumes with how strong you can become if you stay focused, find the right motivation, and discover a mindset that will inevitably push you to areas you never thought possible.

Wow that really sucks. I hope that guy gets caught and goes to jail or something.
But don't worry too much Loch. You say you're moody but I think you're very level headed and wise! You're handling a bunch of crap from people so it's only natural to be pissed at everything. I'm proud of you for sticking it out so far, and I know you'll find something nice down the road sooner or later
Good luck and best wishes to you.

AThank you Frogged, and Jay .
Today I feel a little better, I don't even feel like cheating today.
I really liked X-Men First Class, it was a great movie, and that scene was really well done. It reminds me of a character of mine in my book haha. It really does help to see a theatrical play out of a character struggling to gain something after living a troubled life. I find it helps reading those types of scenes in books, too, if you have a vivid imagination.
My legs hurt. I was doing great going to the gym, no aches and pains, but after running after that guy the other night my leg muscles ache lol. I must have really pushed myself.
I'm saving up for an elliptical trainer, so looking forward to that. You make it sound fun, watching videos while exercising. I'll have to make some of my own xD.
Today I had
Half a banana for 50
Soup for 100
Pizza sub for 500
Chips for 200
Tater's for 320
Spring rolls for 220

Day 25 - When you reach your goals, what do you plan on doing to maintain your results?
I plan on continuing to eat healthy, and watch my weight weekly. I want to take up kick-boxing regularly so that I can stay active, and hopefully take care of some of my emotional problems too. Eventually I also want to take dance. I'm going to do everything different this time.

ASo, a customer came in the other day and started talking about Final Fantasy 11. It got me missing the game, actually, I'd been thinking about it recently anyway...Two years ago I cancelled my account because I had been paying for my account without playing for months, just so I wouldn't lose my character. I didn't think I'd ever go back . I'm trying to find my old account information but it turns out my ex didn't give me back my PC games. I'd have to call him to get the information...ugh. That, or start over, but I had so much done on my character. So many memories...then again, they may have deleted all my stuff anyway. I just don't want to give up if there's a chance I could get my character back. Argh!
I'll probably buy the PC version again anyway, and make a new character. If anything, it's a chance to do it all again, meet new people. I just miss the game so much.
Today I had
Frozen dinner for 300
Ice cap for 150
2x ham stick for 90
Cheese string for 60
5x spring roll for 280

Day 26 - What excites you most about reaching your goals?
Everything! I want to look fabulous, I can't wait to wear all those pretty girly dresses and even try make-up for once. I can't wait to take up kick-boxing, and not feel out of breath or embarrassed over my body. I want to go to clubs, and meet guys, and just...have a rocking body. I think I also want abs xD. Yeah. I'm excited over everything.

Girls with Abs make me glow green with jealousy, Loch. ;/
I tried to play Final Fantasy 11 but I couldn't seem to figure out how to play at all. I was so lost xD. Oh well, I'm just glad there's someone else on the forums that like Final Fantasy other than me. RPGdicts FTW!

ARPG's are SO awesome. Final Fantasy 2 and 3 were my favorite. I actually collect SNES games, nothing beats the classics. I love RPG's to death. I love my job, because I have learned so much about all the games and I get my hands on the rare games that come in.
Final Fantasy 11 can be hard to get into, to be fair, I really miss the social aspect most of all. I miss the group events, the big boss battles, all those things. I know I can't get that back, but hey, maybe I can make new memories. If I start over I get a free month, so what the hell, may as well try it again.

Oh yeah, I know how you feel
RPGs are soo addicting. I think I mentioned it before, but I was HUGE into WoW (and before that, DAoC). I had 2 level 85's (Druid/Paladin) that were my pride and joy. The social aspect of it kind of dwindled for me near the end since most of the people I used to play with quit the game out of boredom or real-life responsibility. I quit because it didn't allow for a healthy lifestyle.Although I did renew my WoW account recently (only for 1 month) just to see the changes and if anyone else from the past was playing. I have no intention of getting back into it as seriously as I had. No way will I be joining a guild and participating in any kind of raiding again!
It's more of a distraction/time waster. Generally now, I tend to search around for the silliest-looking outfits I can adorn myself in and then just dance in public areas while waiting for a PvP battleground to open
Sometimes I'll see if I can make it to the nearest enemy city and how far into the city I can make it while wearing something really flashy before I get killed I also like to collect unique/rare trinkets, which can take a good amount of time to acquire.I never played any FF titles though. I could only ever handle 1 mmorpg at a time

!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm playing Chrono Trigger right now, first time ever! I just bought the game a few weeks ago and it's pretty fun, despite the 90's graphics.
(sorry Loch we RPG-bombed your diary ._.)
[Edit] Bah, nevermind. Just realized, Chrono Trigger =/= Chrono Cross. X_X
AI love the final Fantasy series as well, I am playing through 1,2 and 3 on my Iphone now, but lately it feels like the FF series have been getting worse with every new game.
For me the thing that really started to bug me, was when they started to talk. Final Fantasy is a J-RPG, and when translated for the western market, things that would seem ok in Japanes culture, don't translate well into English (western culture's).

Day 27 - How do you stay on track in tempting situations? (e.g. BBQs, Birthday parties, out with friends, etc.)
I suppose I'm lucky, because I don't really go to those events. When I do, I don't think I'd do very well. I was at a friends going away party last month and I ate bad...I felt so awful. I also had thanksgiving with my mom, and I let myself cheat all day. Most of the time if I'm tempted by fast food, or something bad, I'll consider my calories for the day and see if I can make it work. If not, I don't eat it.

I'm not sure why I'm doing so well. I want to do well in this boot camp, I want to get my goal for the month. I want to be healthier. I tell myself I'm so close, just a little more, and I keep going.

I don't mind either
I enjoyed InuYasha and didn't mind watching subs or dubs. I think both versions bring someone unique to the experience
I thought the American actors did a respectable job, but the Japanese actors always sound so much more intense.I also have Read or Die on DVD - good stuff
My friend is big into anime and has recommended Bleach, which I have, but haven't started watching yet.

Wow Loch, I never noticed how low of an amount of calories you eat. How do you do that?! You barely reach 1000 every day, that's amazing .
Oh oh Frogged, I recommend Bleach. I don't know if it's the type of Anime you like, but I'm sure you'll find it somewhat enjoyable if you like InuYasha. It's a bit tedious sometimes, and the characters tend to talk a lot (I remember one episode where the two opposing fighters talked the WHOLE 30 minutes. It was frustrating!), but you'll like the story line.

AHaha reminds me of Dragon Ball Z, it's like all powering up xD.
I usually don't finish updating my post until I go to bed, so if it's below 1200 it's because I'm not done yet. Although I could eat up to 1500 a day, I limit myself to my minimum. I've learned to separate my calories throughout the day. It's not easy...some days I go over, and some times I go WAY over. I never go under, though, it's counter productive to go below your minimum.
