Trevor's Journey

That's probably for the best. Better to nip it in the bud before it goes far, than to break it off after she's fallen in love with you--which every girl in her right mind would do. :D

Have a great weekend, my dear. I think your manager has been giving you trouble? I hope that improves. :)
 
Wow, its been a while....

Everything is going alright here. Just school and work with some fun in between. Today is nothing but homework, and i most likely wont exercise because i don't feel like it. That may change though, and if it does, it will most likely be just a short lifting session.

I will update on everything else later, right now im busy....
 
Not much exercise in today, but i did lift a bit and a ran a mile and a half....i guess its better than nothing!

Overall this weekend was great. Work sucked but the parties i went too were so much fun! I made a lot of new friends, as well as met some more ladies!!! Its so weird how differently im treated at parties as opposed to a couple of years back. I'm not used to girls coming up to me and starting a conversation either, but im adapting!

Diet was good today, and I already ahve my meals written out on fitday for tomorrow. I messing with my calories to see where the best spot is. This week im shooting for 1500-1800 on non exercise days and close to 2000 on workout days. I am lifting heavy 4 days, and cardio 3 days. My goal for the week is 8 miles...not much, but its something.
 
Hey Everyone!

Happy Monday to you all....so 4 more weeks of class and then hell week aka finals. Today has been good so far diet wise...and i plan on getting some exercise in tonight. I pretty much threw away my scale yesterday because i hate that thing. I'm going by measurements strictly, and i will weigh myself maybe once a month. That thing can really ruin someone trying to finish those last 5-10 pounds. When i was throwing it away, all my roommates were staring because they couldnt believe 'Mr. weigh himself every 5 minutes' was actually disposing of his sanctuary. Psychologically that thing is the :reddevil:! I believe its the main reason why im finding it so difficult to stay on track these past two months. This week i am really working on self control and just telling myself over and over how far i have made it. No more negatives is the key. IF i want to be lean and in shape, its going to take hard work and dedication, and im not going to let some number ruin that for me.

As far as exercise goes, i plan on doing some cardio tonight, but not on the treadmill. I'm going running outside thanks to the Texas weather :). It should be around 75 degrees tonight, so IMO thats perfect running weather. I also tend to run more and faster when im not on the tread, so im excited.

Food wise, im bringing in a lot more veggies than normal now, and i stick to my starchy carbs more in the morning. Two servings of Oatmeal at Breakfast as well as egg whites keep me full for 4+ hours, but i usually eat every 3. Im addicted to plain oatmeal now and i feel accomplished when im done eating it, while my roommates look at me like im crazy for not putting any brown sugar in it.

I was also told today by an old friend of mine that my pictures on my face book were an inspiration to his weight goals now, and he is succeeding. It made me feel good about myself and great about how my pictures may help others succeed. I have also been getting random messages from people on face book telling me i don't even look like the same person from high school. I am the same person, just more fit, and i explain to all that the only thing that changed was my figure. Some people tend to think that since i have lost weight, that im a snob....not true whatsoever. Its not about size in my eyes, it has always been about personality for me, and it will always be. Your figure doesn't define you, and it will never. Sure, its healthier to be in shape, but people have put such a bad label on being overweight and its just wrong. The media has people thinking that skinny automatically means healthy, which is definitely wrong. Some heavier people are way more healthy than these other kids who make fun of them....


There is my rant and i have to cut it short because class starts soon, but i know others feel the same way as me.

I will update later tonight, everyone have a great day!
Trevor
 
Wow Trev, this is by far the longest update from you in a while. It was exciting to read actually.

First off, congrats with staying on track foodwise. I'm proud of you hon. I'm especially proud of your cardio ability now. Given I know how much you hate running and now you're taking the initiative to do it anyway, it's awe inspiring and extremely inspirational. I draw on you, bud. Thanks alot. (((Big Hugs)))

I'm quite envious of your nice Texas weather. I actually felt my stomach knot reading 75 degrees. It's thirty, wet and with a windchill here. I can't run outside if I wanted to. I wish I was there right now, I really do.


I am, as you well know, one of those people who agrees with you. It was never about size in my opinon either. People are people and it's their character that defines them not their physical stature. I just wish I'd believed this when I was bigger. Maybe now I wouldn't have such fanatic emotional insecurities. Yes, I'm much happier now that I'm lighter, and it's also made me appreciate better everyone as an individual. It's made me understand that what I percieve doesn't cut it. There's alot more to people and my friends and my loved ones than what's on the outside. It's the revelation of thier character that draws me in, not their good looks.

I wish it was this way with everyone, but it isn't. Unfortunately.

I'll be on AIM later tonight hon, if you still want to chat. I'm not running till tomorrow. I didn't eat enough cals to work it off....

Hopefully I'll talk to you soon. If not, I hope you have an awesome Tuesday bud. You're made of cool. I hope you know that.
 
Not much to update today....

I didnt get much sleep last night, i was tossing and turning all the way until my alarm went off at 630. Today has been alright so far, just lots of school work. I called in sick to work because im just not in the mood to go today. I need a day to catch up, and rest up and my mind is going every direction. Frustration is my main problem right now, but im trying hard not to let that curve what level i work at in the gym or how much food i eat. Its very hard....

Trev hon, big hugs to you today from me, bud. I understand why you'd be frustrated today, and you know what, I would be worried about you if you weren't emotionally unstable in these hours.

Taking the day off work was a good idea. You definitely need this time to re-evaluate what you've been doing. Today is the beginning of the rest of your life. Just think of it that way. It doesn't matter what happened yesterday or the day before, what matters is today. Yesterday and tomorrow have problems all of their own. What you can change, what you can fix and what you better is today, and by doing so, maybe you can fix tomorrow too.

I'm praying for you bud. I prayed for you last night, and I'm hoping God will grant you some kind of peace about your weight loss situation as it is.

If you need to talk, PM me. I'll check in here all day long for ya, I promise. ((Big Hugs))
 
Awww, Sorry you aren't sleeping, Trevor. I hope you figure this out soon what's keeping you from getting some good snoozing in. - Hope the rest of your day gets better!
 
No sleep = No fun. My body has a hard time unwinding lately... I don't usually get to sleep until 2 or 3am some nights. I guess it's all well and good when i can compensate and sleep in the next morning but, that is not always the case.

Congrats on throwing out your scale, or at least now only bringing it out for special occasions. I used to be addicted to the scale but, having something like that around me would make or break my day in an instant, which is ridiculous. Measurements are much more easy to watch, and I would much rather be losing inches if I am not losing lbs. (which I hope is the case for me right now)...

Thanks for stopping by Tash and Sammy! I always appreciate when people do...
the scale is now a personal devil of mine, and im like you Sammy, that thing can change how i feel for the rest of the day, so hopefully this will help me out.

In other news, today is study my ass off day....that is because of the trig test i have tomorrow morning that i always freak out about. I haven't made anything less than a 93 on her tests, but i want to continue this run, so i will definitely be studying a lot. Tonight im hitting the gym fro some weights and cardio. I'm not sure exactly what im going to work tonight but i will update about that later.

Trevor
 
Morning Everyone,

After a busy night of homework and studying, I think I am ready for my trig test in about an hour. Wish me luck! After my noon class, im done fore the day, and im hitting the gym for a leg and back workout. After that im relaxing, mainly because i have work at 8 am tomorrow... :(. I cant say im excited for it...

I Promise i will update some more later on today.

Everyone have a great Thursday,
Trevor
 
All im going to say si that test was difficult.....and now im worried about how i did on it. Its ruined my day....hopefully i can work off my worries in the gym after this next class....

then its the weekend :)
 
Todays workout was probably the most productive one i had in a while. I went to the rec center and ran 3 miles, then i went to the gym for a leg workout! IT was very satisfying and im definitely going to be sore. Work at 8 tomorrow, so everyone have a nice night
 
Hey Trevor,

I hear all the hot gossip about you from kimberly and Rach so I thought I'd pop my head over on this side of the fence to see how you're doing.

Good job on ditching the scale. I'm not at that point yet and have no idea when I ever will be able to. I need to cut back my dependence on it big time. Just like Sammy said: it makes or breaks my day. I can feel like I'm on the top of the world when the number drops, but when it even flickers back up...

Maybe you can send it Rae's way. She can finally retire that mean and nasty scalentino!

Wishing you luck on getting your marks back from you trig test. Trig...writing the word even makes me shutter.

Hey!! Thanks for stopping by, i love the company! Kimberly is always trying to hook us up....me and rach are really good friends now though because we can relate to each other very easily. She is also a great person to have a conversation with :). Its hard to let go of scalentino, especially when its doing exactly the opposite of what you want, because 80% of the time, its going to say something that you don't want to see.

Im glad to be rid of that horrible thing...

Thanks for the good luck on getting a good trig score...hopefully my crazy studying paid off somewhat. And for some reason i like trig...lol, i know im crazy!

Have a great day Lemon, and feel free to come around anytime!
 
True dat' honey, you and I are two peas in a pod. ;)

You mentioned to me before how much you enjoy Trig, and I'm really hoping your score is satisfactory. I was rooting for you. I'm going to say, because of my woman's intuition, that you did just fine. You're a pretty darn smart cookie.

I hope your weight loss efforts are still going well for you, bud. If you don't recall, it's the 4th of April, and if I recall correctly, you've six days to reach your goal. If you don't, I end up scarffing down a blizzard...and it's Florida preparation time....ugh oh...;)

I hope the beginning of your weekend is tolerable, honey. Are you going home?

lol, well i know for sure im not going to reach that goal, but if it counts toward anything i have eaten very well this week as well as exercised! I'm staying up here this weekend but next weekend im heading home to drop some of my stuff off since there is 4 weeks of class left!!! Me and my roommates are having people over tonight, and we also have some good friends of ours coming up for the weekend, so we shall have fun. O by the way, we need to catch up so i can fill ya in on everything going on :)
 
Awesome honey, sounds good. Most probably though, I won't be on tonight but that'll work out fine since you're planning on having some fun anyway. I'll try and be on tomorrow night, and if not, definitely Sunday. We have to chat more than just once a week, bud. I like Trev time. LOL.
