Truth!!

Hello!!!!!!

Again, not really much to say tonite. I have found that keeping busy also means not being able to blog as much. Started a routine of walking the dogs when I am not working a second job, so that helps. And the little dog decided to make a mess for me to clean up a couple of days ago. My mom put things into perspective, though. I told her he made the mess while the the other one sat and watched. "That's female DNA!" she said. "We don't do it, we get the stupid male to do it!!"

Wedding anniversary is coming up. Eleven years.... just damn. NEVER thought she'd put up with me for so long. Wifey reads this blog sometimes, so I can't go into what I got her.... yet. But I know she'll love it. So for the past few weeks, she's been working on MY gift. I have been since forbidden to enter her office, which ironically, contains the scale. So I'm not to sure if I am losing like I want to, but I know I am losing. My jeans fit better. WINNING!!!

I started my journey at about 225. Last check, before I was forbidden from her office, I was at 214. Phase 2 will begin next month. A 1200-1500 calorie diet. For now I've just been eating healthy foods, avoiding soda (as much as possible anyway), not eating late, (again, as much as possible), and staying active. I know once I plop my ass in front of the TV it's game over, man!, so I do what I got to. Getting a second job has actually helped in that field. So basically, I feel like I am gonna starve for the next 2 weeks. I'm gonna get sooooooooo sick of Jell-o. But from what I hear, it gets easier after that initial shock. Wish me luck!!!!!!!!!!

Bleh.....

Don't have much to say tonite. Kinda in a funk, I suppose. No energy, no drive, no nothing. Its like all the good vibes been sucked outta me. Long time friends of mine decided to end their relationship, and it just makes me sad. I heard an Orlando man killed an unarmed kid because he was walking in a gated neighborhood while being black, and its more expensive to eat healthy than it is to eat crappy fast food. Seems the world has its priorities backwards most of the time. I long to be the honey badger.......

Broken!!

Plateau is over!!! Finally broke through it, and I couldn't be happier. I am beginning to learn its just not about diet, its also exercise. I've been moving a whole lot lately, not really giving myself too much time to veg. A form of cardio I suppose. It seems to have worked, but I am not losing the weight as fast as I once was. No worries, I think. It'll come off the right, healthy way.

Another good factor in breaking the plateau is that we are expanding at work. I've been busy for a few days tearing down racks and condensing and moving product. So needless to say, what with the recent humidity, I've been pretty ripe when I get home. But my B.O. was NOTHING compared to what we had a few days ago. Apparently, something crawled under my house and decided to DIE!!! It left behind a foul odor that I thought would linger for days. Thankfully it didn't. Perhaps some other critter decided to make a meal out of it, I suppose. Conclusion???? Time to get more chicken wire!!!!

Finally, I am a big believer of the adage, "If you can't afford gas, you don't need a car". It can be applied to so many things. So I'll take it here..... IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO TIP THE DELIVERY DRIVER, YOU CANT AFFORD TO GET A PIZZA DELIVERED!!!! The delivery charge doesn't go to the driver. We make less than minimum wage and depend on tips. So please show your appreciation to us who deliver to you by tipping us. We make it possible so you don't have to leave your home to get dinner on the table for your family, so please help put dinner on our families' table. We don't do this for charity, we need to make a living, just like you.

Dog Walk

Took the beasts for a walk tonite. The only thing I like about Daylight Savings Time is the fact the sun stays up till about 8, so no matter how late I work, I can still get stuff done. This was supposed to be a baby step forward for wifey and me to exercise more, but I think the dogs got more of a work out. Sandy was panting, and Danny just about collapsed when we got home. So not only am I out of shape, so are my dogs!! So sad...



I think my phone is possessed. I just turned it back on (because the battery died) and it sent text messages I sent days ago. It also received messages from someone I don't know. My phone does weird things. This one time I put it on airplane mode and threw it up in the air, and it did NOTHING!! Worst transformer EVAH!

Nothing else really to say tonite. I went from English to Pirate English on Facebook. So now instead of getting poked, I get skewered!!

Where does the time go?

Sleep, work, eat. Star Wars 3d, kids birthday party, semi house sitting. And to top it all off, I lost an hour of sleep thanks to daylight savings. This describes my weekend. I know I wanted to stay busy this year, but damn. As it stands I have to post from my phone app. That's the only way I can find the time to post any more.

I've still plateaued. Haven't lost or gained anything. And I am back to the weight I was before I fell off the horse. So a small win for me.

Thanks all for sticking with me through this rough patch. My life is a bit insane right now, but I'm working through it. Till next time.....

Reboot

Restarting tonite. Getting back on the wagon is taking longer than I want it to so I decided to give myself a swift kick in the ass. In bed before 11pm tonite, first time in weeks. Bought A LOT of healthy foods today, at a cost of $101. Just damn. But it will all work out in the end. Got some good news tonite. Wifey decided to join me. So instead of doing this alone, I now have a partner, someone who can keep me in check. Good times ahead.

Got the dogs groomed too. Sandy looks absolutely goofy shaved like a puppy. I'll post pics later. Of course the first thing they did when we got home was want to roll around outside.

Lazy day today got a bit too lazy. Didn't do much, except watch a movie. Journey 2 was pretty good in my opinion. Plus we didn't spend a dime to see it, we got an AMC giftcard from reward points off our debit card.

Hopefully I can get a good nights sleep tonite. Sleeping by 10 up by 6. Goodnight!!

Lazy Sunday

The more I read about protein, the more I want to completely change my habits. I do understand that there are risks involved, but nowadays, just breathing the air can give you cancer. I do plan on starting with eating actual food, not going straight to supplements, so shopping today will be interesting. I don't like spending money, and I do realize this new diet will put a dent into the budget. It'll be a delicate balance.

Going back to a previous post, I have continued to "be the honey badger". However, I decided to expand it to nearly my whole life. I am only one man, and can only give so much of myself to anothers will. I don't need to go down the same path I have gone down for years. The one that dedicates myself to others, and neglects my family. With two new jobs and changes in social circles, it seems I had lost that focus. That loss of focus will be corrected.

I am avoiding the scale for now, until I can get my energy back to do some REAL exercising.

Other than that, pretty uneventful week. Just trying to get back on track to where I was a month ago, before I started this second job. Wish me luck, I'll need it.

Just wanted to post this. I literally spit out my water!!!!
