This Trucker Fights Back

Today:

10 minute heavybag
20 minutes spin
50 minute walk (cut short by rain)

Two bananas consumed so far. Don't anyone fear, I consistently eat ever so little during the day. Other than my old Mickey'D breakfast urges of old, morning eating was never my thing. I can generally go 10 hours past wake up without no to very, very little intake. Damn those night, though. If I screw up, it will be between 9pm to 5am lol.

Ugh, I better get your checks out in the mail soon, I lost 700 million today on my gold stocks :(

Yes, a return to the infernal stationary - I know, hard to believe. I get tired of whingeing about the weather but I'm really having a hard time with it this year, emotionally.

I really set a trap for myself. Of course an old reader like yourself somewhat knows I did big on the pedal bike last year and in the process started adding calories. I pretty much abandoned my old (early) way of handling weight loss. What an error.

I hate I'm no lighter today than I was this time last year. I gave back months worth of hard work. I did this with "I'll lose it all back when the weather favors me" mentality. This is just wrong.

Ah well, all I can do is get back on the horse and ride. Nothing I whine about here will get it done. I'm just surprised at the emotional attachment I conjured up to an apparent failure (to myself). I know I'm suppose to be happy being a much. much smaller man than I was two years, and for that I'm thankful, but it just isn't a rational segment of my 'forgiveness' - nor do I think it ever will be.
 
Just thought I'd come around, finally.

You sound.... happy. Not just your encouraging, self-deprecating, funny, cynical self, but, well, happy. It's in the tone, the word choice. It's nice to see. There's hope for us all.

I have a leaky sink. Can you come fix it???? I moved back into the house (the ex gave it up). Home with my girls.... Well, not for Easter though, so house chores all weekend.

Hugs.

Back at ya, Beth on the good weekend thing :) Meh, no whining about the snow storm this morning. It was a good and beneficial workout for me. We're getting ever so close to better days. The patience is hard to come by, admittedly, but soon I'll be back doing what it is I do.

Happy Easter to You and Bruce. Thanks for keeping me going with good words. It helps :)

*dries eyes*

Hi Patty :) *super hugs* Absolutely I'd fix it, hell, I'd be your all-around handy dandy house boy. Just say the word and I'll strap on the tool belt and start hitchhiking - haha.

I'm really jazzed up for you and the girls taking back what means the most to you. Home is the center of the universe. I'm glad a settlement was reached for the benefit of those lovely daughters of yours.

I miss you :(

Happy Easter all the same, chores withstanding. *sigh* you're like the forbidden chocolate bunny, to me :banghead:

Peace.
 
oh you' be proud of me T2, im sore as a nun who visited a whore house.
Went tramping yesterday with pack on all day :O

Ate toasted marshmellow easter eggs and all :D
 
So after playing True/False with you for the past few days, I figured I would come check out your diary and say hello!!!

You have come such a long way ~ what an inspiration :)

I'm not sure which is more decadent, the nun thingy or the marshmallows ?? Both sound pretty good to me.

I didn't do shit the last two days. Believe me, I'm gonna get my tramping on big this week. No more excuses, rain or shine, hot (ha !! - I wish) or cold.

Thank you Ali. Didn't take me long to take a shinin' to your verve and verse on here. NJ made you instantly cool, also :) You got some awesome awesome numbers, too *thumbs up*

I only have one more person to be an inspiration to, then my work in that department is done.

Thanks ~ You gotta love Jersey girls, there is just something about us ;) Thanks for the compliments on my numbers, I am still getting used to the idea that they are something to be excited about...I am a little slow when it comes to recognizing my own successes...

Sometimes, the thing about inspiring people is that even when you think you are done, what you have accomplished lives on, which is kinda cool, a legacy if you will.

I think WLF'ers have helped me recognize my own success, largely, more so than I sponged up myself. The 'feel good' part was my most 'inner-me recognition' segment but 'seeing yourself' is a slow event - one I've had a hard time with, also.

Legacy is a hard word for me to wrap my mind around, especially after a faltering winter season. I'd like to be remembered, if at all, as a person who showed weight loss is very possible for any individual. Accept the sacrifice and weight loss is limitless. There are no shortcuts.

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.
