This Trucker Fights Back

[T2 Trucker]

carp is gross though -why would you want to catch it?

Because when your a small town boy with not much more than a bicycle, a fishing pole, ample polluted water supply and a best friend whose father was a fireworks dealer, the combination all fell together nicely for cruel entertainment.

We blew up hundreds of carp even if you cried later at night about it. Guilt was not a cool visibility to display in front of the crew. Show some and the next M-80 lit might be taped the weak kids' ass. Thank Gawd the 'girl era' came about. They were more fun to catch and twice as slippery, imo

I know who your talking about Randy. Don't put too much on your shoulders though. You can't make anyone do anything they don't want to, all you can do, is do your best and hope that they want to join you. Besides, even if they arn't physically making changes, you never know how your influence will effect their changing mind....and you know that the mental part is 90% of weight loss.

Just keep on keeping on Randy, thats all you can do.

In a nutshell, yes, and that's what I'll continue to do, Korrie. I know we can't carry the cross for others but it doesn't diminish the hurt. I have no answers for that situation, just hope.

That is the best summary of this thing that I have read. Well done.

"Accept your fate and you will be well, but the truth is that it never ends" -Reminded by Drowning Pool.

One of my many iPod anthems. This lyric in particular is about as complete journey pertaining to weight loss that I've ever read and absorbed.

the only person you need to be an inspiration to is yourself

I know how you feel about about that word. I don't challenge you about how easily it is for others to be inspired by your weight loss.

Personally. if I was still in my morbidly obese state and looking to get started, I'm not so sure any one person would 'inspire' me into getting off my ass but I would still gasp at the results I'm witnessing. I often wonder if 'inspiration' is a misplaced adjective on here. Maybe I'm being unfair because I started before I found WLF *shrugs*

ok, I'm done trying to pet you. You bite !!

I think that motivation may be an appropriate substitute...I haven't been here long but what I can testify to is that when it has gotten hard, you have a place here where there are literally hundreds of people who have tried to do that very thing you are trying to do and have succeeded. It becomes much easier to say, if so-and-so can do it (whether that is resist junk food, deal with naysayers or lost over a hundred pounds) then I can do it. For almost any situation, you can find a success story here.

So maybe it is finding motivation or strenght or even inspiration whatever it is, if it results in you doing something you wouldn't do or couldn't think you could do otherwise, whatever you call it, the result is a positive one.

I know it's overused and all to often misdirected.

what's your point?

Tis true Ali. I did have to swallow large cups of humility and get back in here and finish what I started. I knew I let myself down and didn't want to face this place in the process. I have to admit having forum accountability has kept me a lil more motivated than what I thought it would this time around.

I used WLF more as a sounding board than a trade tool. I had to leave for awhile to figure it out. I lost some really great people on here and it's been a hard void to fill. I like a good ass kicking. I need it more than most realize because they've seen the success side, no one is use to me talking about the old side trying to creep back into my life. I'm not happy with it. A true supporter wouldn't sit on here and type ass-patting shit to me.

what's your point?

You know I never have one

For me, that old person is very much alive and well and I think for people who have battled weight issues for any length of time, that person has probably set up camp and is putting down roots. Just because you have succeeded, doesn't mean that person is down for the count. Some days are harder than others.

Any time you need an ass-kicking, come find me, I will be happy to provide

I guess "ass pat" doesn't equal "arse grab" eh? I always thought you'd be up for that - not that I would be so cheeky of course.

Though I think it's a shorter more intense celebration where you are - I expect you're as glad to be done with Easter as I am. Any more useful signs of spring around?

 

[T2 Trucker]

Some days are harder than others.

And some days need to be made harder than others. After I read your post yesterday, I went back out and walked for an hour, this after already having a 4 mile walk in earlier.

It's time for me to double and triple up my efforts.

I'll take an ass grab over an ass pat any day !! I wonder if we had sensor on our B & A pics how many ass pats would be registered ?? Get back to me when you find your 'cheeky'

Yeah, Sunday I ate the standard Easter dinner without much consideration to damages. I pulled the strings at one serving of everything I wanted and ended it. Of course, no sweets is fairly easy for me to pull off. I passed on cake and ice cream as we had a combo gathering for my 2 yr old grand-nephew.

This is my time, again. I'm confident '08 will bring good things. I'm stoked about improving weather - eventually.

Awesome Probably time for me too. I agree on things needing to be harder, sometimes it is the only way things get done.

 

[T2 Trucker]

I agree on things needing to be harder..

There was a time where I'd post something perverted in nature to that line. Now I'm trying to keep my halo shiny, besides this forum is polluted with married nuns, I think *shrugs*

hehe

anyway, I'm out the door for a walk. Rain is on its way.

Should you ever feel compelled...I don't offend easily Why should the nuns have all the fun???

Enjoy your walk...

 

[felici]

Spring must indeed be in the air up your way - sounds like it's in your step!! I've always imagined it could be such a rush in circumstances like yours, even though I wouldn't want to deal with the time beforehand that would enable such an appreciation.

It is good to hear that you're getting the miles in again and keeping the balance with restraint and enjoyment in your food. (Oh damn is that an ass pat?) Ah well. If I'd managed that myself I'd be too pleased with myself to mind someone else approving of it!!

 

[T2 Trucker]

I don't offend easily

That's because you have no practice at being offend. Who in their right mind would dare offend a New Jersey chick ?? I can think of better ways to die, honestly

ah yes !! I just tapped out a nice 75 minute deck walk. I'm pondering spinning later this aft/eve. I need to get busy on the stationary. It's not going to bode well with 5-6 months of fresh, favorable biking weather to get busy in with rubbery bike legs. Nope, nope, nope !! Perhaps I should aim for 40 minutes this time.

Your ass pats are as gentle as I imagined they'd be

oh, the night balance is still a work in progress. I did keep it strictly catabolics the last several nights, hey, it's a start.

You took the words outta my head....that is EXACTLY what I was thinking to myself this morning...I had a bit of a medical/injury setback this weekend (I posted the details in my diary) but now I am ready to kick my own butt again!

Glad to see the positives posted in your diary, Randy! Okay, your attitude and progress motivates me...heheh...I won't say inspires.

 

[ali2]

LOL - many have tried, few have succeeded, I am one tough chick

I knew you were a smart guy!

 

[wishes]

im with ya T2 on the doubleing and tripleing efforts!

 

[T2 Trucker]

(I posted the details in my diary) but now I am ready to kick my own butt again!

uhh missy, let's try a lil low and slow till you're 100%. I admire your energy but let's be safe, please.

Maybe Bruce will have to cuff ya to the bed or something. REST !!

I knew you were a smart ass

im with ya T2 on the doubleing and tripleing efforts!

I settled for a double. I did another 75 minute walk. I'm saving the stationary for the next two days due to yet another shitbag of slushy weather coming.



Today:

1 can of peas -140

20 radish/carrots/celery - free

1/2 lb of white grapes - free

2 lean ham sandwiches on whole wheat - 600

about 200 cals in gum.

I'm set up for a popcorn snack tonight.

 

[Korrie]

so you had 940 cals and a 75 min walk today..not very healthy there buddy

 

[T2 Trucker]

2 - 75 min walks.

I never count the catabolic calories in my totals.

I'm fine.

 

[wishes]

heh you should read the first couple posts in his diary which says he doesnt count catabolic calories

T2, i want to be unemployed but not broke so i can spend more time doing exercise! help! send me money or something

 

[T2 Trucker]

We definitely got unemployed here, trouble is getting that bike to ride on water to get here, Liz You get much lighter, you could just flap your wings and follow the sparrows over
