TwoShadows, I can't believe I forgot your trip. How was it? Glad you're back and that you stuck with your diet And yes, walking definitely counts.

MOS, walking is great exercise It's all I do sometimes lol. Setting up ropes sounds interesting and tiring.

Areas of body worked today: overall
Current weight: 128 but horribly bloated ("Mr. Monthly" should strike in a couple days)
Current buddy: Mysterious Dreamer
Foods consumed today: 3 McD's Pancakes with butter and syrup, half a hashbrown, a sausage, a 32 oz Fountain Pepsi; half of a grilled stuffed steak burrito from Taco Bell. I always get the meal which comes with nachos but I never eat them and I never eat more than half the burrito, I should stop wasting my money... a large Pepsi; a medium movie theater popcorn drenched in butter, a medium Pepsi

Mood: between 4 and 7

Health: between 4 and 7. Feel fine. A little run down, ear is gurgling a little, I've had the shakes and a mild headache off and on, have had a horribly sweet taste in my mouth for several hours. And now I have a slight sore throat from dictating a book "Body Language" for the past 1 hour 23 minutes (dictating or copying out by hand is the only way I can retain anything I learn)

Studied: Nearly 1 1/2 hours non-religious

Foods consumed today: About 18 oz. Vitamin Water, Special K Chocolate breakfast bar, few sips of CF Coke... still no appetite but a headache forced me to eat by 5PM or so so I cooked 4 pieces of chicken liver in seasoned salt only and they were very good. An hour or so later I made 3 more then went to Wendy's for a large coke, a large fry and a side salad which I still haven't eaten yet (the salad); another Special K Bar
Drinks consumed today: the above and I am now nursing a Pina Colada Wine Cooler
Buddy's performance as a buddy (1/10): MIA
Rate your buddy's progress (1/10): MIA

Mood: fluctuating between 3 and 5
Meds: Norms, last day of Antibiotics (WOOT!), Naproxen, Acid Reducer
Health: ??? The stress is effecting my mind. I'm disassociating when out of the RV, my memory and recall is horrendous. I couldn't remember the first name of a member of my congregation who is like a father to me. Now I'm obsessively repeating in my mind all the names of our active 50 some-odd members. I can't believe I forgot his name and it depresses me. I haven't attended a meeting in over a month but that still doesn't excuse the lapse.

Studied: 1 1/2 hours dictating non-religious
Ministry: 0
Cleaned: 3
Recreation: 8
Groomed: 4
Total Sleep: about 6 hours
Quality of Sleep: 6
Cigarettes: About 2 packs

**Edit** finished the wine cooler, ate the salad, am currently nursing a Coke.
My health has declined more physically. My stupid left big toe is in constant need of being popped but when I rub it against the floor as is my habit, it merely irritates the callus on the front of the toe and causes it to throb without popping. Popping it with my hand doesn't get the right joint and I'm left unsatisfied. I'm also cramping a GREAT deal and my back is hurting some... stupid Period. I don't know HOW or WHY the anti-depressants Prozac and Lexapro kept that physical pain away for the most part, but Celexa just is NOT cutting it.

I'm staying up all night because I have to be at Court early in the morning. So I'm ending my "day" now.

I've been really busy so I haven't done as much working out as I wanted. But I'll share what I have done.

Tuesday:

Name (Username suffices): Twoshadows

Other workout: Pilates

Foods consumed today: I know I didn't eat enough. I was gone most of the day.

Ground beef and mustard

Broccoli

Apple

Cottage cheese blended in a blender with some strawberries sweetened with a few drops of chocolate stevia (sooo good).


Edit: I just now finished an intense shoulders, chest workout and it's surprising how it is affecting my typing.

Forgot to write up my Tuesday report. Bad me.

Name: A. Star
Date of joining fitness club: 2/13/09
Current weight: 223.8 (+1.8)

Fitness Report: Um, not so good. I went for my usual Wednesday walk. Shins hurt like crazy again and the tendon behind my right knee was sore the next day. Nothing else was really done this week. Overall effort: 2/10

Nutrition Report: I could have done better, but in my defense, we did have company pretty much the whole week, so we made more food and higher calorie food than we normally would have. Also, I went out to eat twice, stuffing myself the first time (Mexican), and doing fairly well the second time (Chinese: broccoli in garlic sauce with white rice). The Girlscout cookies didn't help, though Overall effort: 6/10

Overall, I'm feeling pretty good. I still need to start getting to bed earlier, but I can't seem to make myself stop writing or watching a show when I get in bed. I have enjoyed having family home and am looking forward to going to Portland this weekend. I've smiled and laughed a lot.

Goal for this coming week: At least 20 minutes of concentrated effort 3 times this week, be it through walking, DDR, or some other activity.

Mid-range goal: Be down to 218 by the time I go up to Montana (3/28/09). That's only 5 pounds!!! SO CLOSE!

Long-term goal: Be under 200 pounds by the end of the year. Heck, yah! Oh, and I'll reward myself with a pair of LandRoller Skates, at least when I get back to the US.

TwoShadows inspired me to buy some cottage cheese and I ate some this morning

But I have a love/hate relationship with the food. I love the taste but the texture turns me off lol. It amuses and annoys me so it's not something I eat very often.
I wish I was talented in the kitchen TwoShadows... or better yet, that I was talented at cleaning up after myself lol but I'm not so I usually just avoid cooking. I made myself an alcoholic icecream drink almost a month ago and the single serving sized blender is STILL soaking in the sink

Keep enjoying your visit Ame! You can reach your goals with flying colors!

Cardio workout(s) done today: Absolutely nothing. I'm too emotionally drained

Foods consumed today: Cottage cheese single with pineapple, few sips of Sprite; large Coke (of which I only actually drank a couple sips GRRR); JD Breakfast Bowl, Wine Cooler.
Drinks consumed today: less than 20 oz of fluid so far excluding the wine cooler. I'm about to have another wine cooler and finish the Sprite from earlier. I'm also going to drink a tiny bottle of Strawberry Milk to help settle my stomach
Buddy's performance as a buddy (1/10): MIA
Rate your buddy's progress (1/10): MIA *starts looking for whip*

Mood: fluctuating from 0-3
Meds: Norms
Health: 4 Stomach currently hurts some. I don't know if it's hunger, galstones or deuodenitis but I'll find out after the milk.

Studied: 0
Ministry: 0
Cleaned: 0
Recreation: 8
Groomed: 5
Total Sleep: ??? I fell asleep holding my cigarette earlier this afternoon. I woke up when the heat got to my fingers and the shock made me drop it *stupid, stupid, stupid me!* I *think* I then slept for little over an hour. My mind is starting to slip a little more but it's almost enjoyable. Flashing back and forth between reality, perceived reality, and dreams is very entertaining. I'll sleep like a log tonight.
Quality of Sleep: ???
Cigarettes: I've lost count. I've gone through almost 6 packs since Monday morning.

**Eidt**
I don't know if I'll be able to sleep or not at this point. I've had a total of 3 wine coolers since after my meeting this morning and sleep is currently evading me none-the-less.
My tummy trouble was deuodenitis related because of the wine coolers, nicotine and stress I'm sure. The milk eased it for awhile. An hour ago I cooked 5 chicken livers and now my stomach is warring with me again. *blah*
I'm sick of my "butt belly" lol. My posture is poor and when I slump it rubs uncomfortably. I understand now why a lot of heavy-set people I've known prefer to wear their pants above their stomach
I think I'm going to go rough it in the woods after Sunday for a few days. That'll help whip me back into shape

It'll get easier, Ames. As far as getting to bed earlier, the more you get out and do physically, the earlier you'll want to go to bed. When I'm working Mondays, I can barely make it through Heroes before I'm out like a light.

Those LandRoller skates look awesome; I just might have to get me a pair of those one of these days. If Cesar Millan uses them, I'm in.
