Home Owner

Well, looks like I'll be a home owner in a few hours. At this point I'm just ready to do the damn thing and get it over with. I can't wait to move in and get started.

Dietwise I pretty much destroyed it this weekend, drank beer literally all day sat at the ohio/mich game and yesterday had my normal pizza and hotwings cheat meal. I did drink a ton of water though. I'm starting up my exercise routine this week so that should speed up things quite a bit.

Feeling pretty good about myself, although i can stand to look at my fat face in the mirror. my self esteem is in the shitter right now, but nothing that a little weight loss wont fix.

Thurday

Still tired when I walk up 4 flights of stairs. That's ok though, I'm still eating somewhat clean. It's been 2 weeks without smokes or fast food, now it's time to kick in the afterburner. Cardio and weights. I'll come up with a plan this weekend. Something that includes lots of stretching, maybe even some yoga.

Feeling pretty good about myself right now. pretty good indeed.

D Day +1

Well, it's been 8 days since I had a smoke or any fast food. I feel pretty fucking good actually. I cut the beer down to just on the weekends. I'm still half stick I think with this cough, but it could be my lungs repairing themselves, which stokes me out. My ankles are better.

But, I'm up to 240. The heaviest I've been in my life. My goal is 185, which means I need to drop 55lbs, which is alot, but in the grand scheme of things, not really that much. I want to do it before next summer so I can look good at the pool.

I close on my house next Monday and I'm super stoked about that. So, once I get that done, I'm going to start working out with Brian and continue to clean my diet up. I think I'm getting better on the eating front, I just sit on my ass literally all day and night.

goals right now:
1. get more active
2. continue to clean up diet
3. skate more

Day 3 on the clean eating, no booze and no smokes thing. I feel fucking fantastic. I weighted myself last night and I'm pushing 240, fucking crazy. I'm waiting for this cold to pass before I start working out again. I think I'll need to add a workout if I want to lose any weight since I sit on my ass all day and night. Even eating good, I dont think that'll be enough.

The house thing is moving along, I hope I get this loan, I try not to count my chickens before they hatch, but alot of the time I have a negative outlook on things and always think things aren't going to work in my favor, I guess I'm starting to think just like my mom. fuck. But I'm making a concense effort to think positive, because you always hear about the 'power of positive thinking'
and I've been one gloomy motherfucker for the past 10 years.

feeling good right now.

Well, it's been a long time since I posted. New Start Today

It's been a while, but I really havent felt like writing in this thing. I'm pretty much at the worst shape of my life right now. I just walked up the stairs at work today (4 flights) and I was seriously winded. I've been sick the last 2 weeks and smoking doesnt help.

I started the Abs Diet program today and I intend on sticking to it. It's been kind of a running joke that I dont have any will power and it's true for the most part. But not anymore. I will drop 50 pounds, quit smoking and get control back over my life. I want confidence.

see ya soon
