Trops Diary

Hey, all. Thanksgiving was fun. We drove everywhere and saw everyone and ate everything. Food wasn't all that bad considering. I did have bagels for breakfast, which are really good, but really bad calorie wise. I did have two slices of pumpkin pie, but other then that I was pretty good all day. Only half a glass of wine and the rest was diet soda. One plate of turkey dinner.

Friday was s different story. It's these damn downward trends that get me. Breakfast was homemade waffles with fruit. Then we decided to go out shopping after I had taken my daddy nap. Got some stuff, but not so much on the Christmas list. We went to a nice shopping village with my mother in law, then went out for dinner. I got clam strips which is probably one of the worst things on the menu. When we got home we were watching a movie and dug into the candy that we got at the candy shop. Funny thing is that I've always eaten whatever and never had any adverse reaction. Last night it just felt like I had a lump of grease in my gut. Not a pleasant feeling, but could this mean that my body is starting to reject that kind of eating? That would be a positive change.

Oh, and I decided to call into work last night. The guy who covered for me said that he wouldn't mind the overtime and I certainly enjoyed the night off. I have two more Midnights then I'm done for a few weeks.

This morning I had hoped to go to the gym early. They have babysitting 8:30-12, so I thought I'd take the kids. They like it, but it can be more of a hassle getting in and out. Well, I slept in and then I couldn't get my ass in gear to get there. I'll go this afternoon without the kids. It'll be fine.

Weight has been holding all month right around 200-204. It fluctuates, but I'm not all that concerned because I'm trying to bulk up a bit now muscle wise. Well, this morning it was 205 and I'm thinking that's just too much. Perhaps I should get back on the cut phase and drop back to the 190's. Next week might be a real good time to start that. :gnorsi:
 
I've noticed that I get that feeling too if I eat more than a couple fries. Feels like a greasy chunk of concrete in your stomach. :puke:

Interesting how that 1 pound over will make you go 'allright, that's enough of this crap!' :biggrinjester: As of yesterday's weighing I am 2 over my self imposed high range, but since I just got to the high end a couple weeks ago and its that female thing... I'm not going to get too bent out of shape about it. Yet.

Next week is back on the train for me too. It would be nice to go in to the New Year at the low end of my range.
 
Trops I get that too! Except for me it's with sweets. I used to be able to eat (brace yourself) and entire container or meringues without feeling any adverse effects. No sugar rush, no crash, nothing. Now eating sugar is exhausting to me. Let it be your body's way of telling you "No! I like the other food better! stop giving me this crap!"

Hope you had a good holiday :)
 
I get that sometimes, when I eat shitty food... then other times I could eat it all day and suffer no ill effects (other than the obvious). Though I don't enjoy the shitty food as much as I used to. I don't know if it's some guilt that comes along with it or if it's just that I've lost a bit of the desire for it? Not sure. But even when I'm eating terribly (like this past week) it's a million times better than it was before.
 
Ugh! I've come down with something and it's not just that I ate shit food. I feel like crap, and I'm working the midnight shift, so I'm not getting the sleep that I need. The good thing is I'm finishing up my last midnight. The bad thing is I have to come back for the evening shift at 3:30 this afternoon, but it's overtime. I am supposed to do some errands this morning after a short nap, but I don't think I'm really going to get to it. Quick turnaround and all.

I haven't been eating all that badly, but also I haven't been all that good this weekend. I have to get back on it starting today. I did go to the gym on saturday and got a good lift. Increased everything except the bench press. I went for it, but the spotter didn't let me struggle as much as I could have. I was going for that +50 but fell just short. Oh, well, next time.

You got it next time Trops! It's a good club to belong to!! ;) I'm hoping I can drop 25 pounds of fat and gain 25 on my bench in the same time frame. If I do that, I'll be plus 50. Then, all I have to do is lose 50 more pounds while maintaining my bench, and I'll be plus 100 club!! *crosses his fingers*
 
Clam strips is deep fried clams. Very tasty, but deep fried anything is bad.

I'm hating being sick like this. I have just no energy for anything close to a workout. Besides, going to the gym would not be nice to all those people who don't want to catch what I have. I'm thinking that a nice light jog at work might be in the cards, but probably not.

Nyquil is definitely on the table for after work. :ack2:
 
Yeah, I should not go to my job tonight, but it's overtime and I just bought a plasma TV yesterday, so I'm off to work. I probably shouldn't jog though. :p

I love clams. I used to dig clams and sell them when I was in High School. Good money, but I tended to fuck around more then I worked. Hmm, kind of like now. :sifone:

Take just this, think like half of the people on this thing and... pretty damn funny! Did you wear a big fadora and platform shoes with fish in the heels and carry a cane at the time?? :D :D
 
Hey Trops! Hope the wood chopping is everything you expected and more!! Remember, you have to get 10 cords of wood chopped and stacked before the kids get home! :D
 
Well, I got the wood, but didn't split it, yet. Still have tomorrow. I go through between 3 and five cords a winter, so ten cords would last me. I think I picked up about 2+ cords unsplit. I'll have to see what that makes split.

I am feeling much better today. Ate a big hamburger for lunch, which I really shouldn't have.
