OK, so I haven't been posting for a few days. End of the year activities at work have to take precedence over blogging. It pays the bills and keeps the internet up. HAHA!! During this time I have been running around like a headless chicken again, going back and forth over things I've gone through dozens of times. So that means not much time to really think about what I am eating, drinking, and overall putting into my body.

This morning I woke up with a sick feeling. I am just now getting over this creeping crud thats been keeping me down for so long. Then it dawned on me; all the crap I've been eating. Ugh..... But I sucked it up and went to the dreadded scale to face the consequences.............

BELOW 220!!!!!!!    218.7 to be precise. I seriously don't know how it happened. I haven't been eating too bad, but at the same time, not too well either. I thought about it for a while and realized... because I've been so busy, I didn't have TIME to stuff my face with all the snacks. Just lunch and dinner. Maybe that's the way to start. So, 2012 will be the year of.........

KEEPING BUSY!!!!

What does that mean for me? Ridding myself of all things that distract me. And it is all encompassing. Crappy food, useless pursuits of vanity and possession, and sadly, people. I just cannot tolerate the drama any longer. It takes me away from the things that are important to me and eats away at my soul. And it's a big part of the reason I have been abusing my body. No más! Now, admittedly, some people I know will have some problems come up and they usually come to me. That I can handle. But ongoing drama..... no. I'm done.

Well, Happy New Year everybody!!!!! See you in 2012!!!!

Finally!!!!

I can see an end to this stubborn sickness!!! I'm breathing easier, my nose is drying up, and I had more energy today. Big win. Lets just hope this trend continues. By getting an early start to this, I hope to have an epic 2012. Now I know I won't become the next big male model, ordering orange mocha frappuccinos and having gasoline fights, but I will feel better and get more done with more energy. Thats my goal.

That being said, I was bad today. Taco Bell for lunch. I know, I shouldn't have, but I won't do it again.... terrible gas!! HAHAHA!!! I still had my protein shake, and a pretty sensible dinner. With the fast pace of the holidays around, I could've done worse. So tomorrow its back to the norm.

I guess I'll end this post here. It is REALLY difficult to concentrate when the wife is watching Sailor Moon in the other room with the volume turned up...... MOON PRISIM POWER!!!!!!!

UGH.................... help me.......

Nowhere Fast

So it seems I can't get a grip on this cold I have. Been with me for 10 days now. The only good thing about it is that I didn't binge over Christmas. There was ALOT of food, good food, but I didn't touch most of it. Still, coughing up phlgem isn't any fun. I'm coughing so much that its giving me a headache and it's even hurting my teeth.

But, today wasn't a total waste. Working in the warehouse all day, breaking a sweat many times, I think I got my exerscise. As much as I can tolerate anyhow. Man, I can't wait to be over this cold. I just feel like I want to burst out and get up and move. Ah, well. Positive thinking...... and codeine cough syrup!!!

Today, I had my usual protein shake, 200 calroies, an 800 calorie lunch, snacks included, and half a sub sandwhich. Not sure of the calorie count, but it was from Publix, so you know it was DAMN GOOD. I've lost about a pound so far from last week. I started at 222 and am now down to 221.2. Slow, but progress. I want to get down to about 175-180, so I won't be overweight, but I won't look like a stick either.

I'm in the process of trying to purge all the fattening stuff from the house. I know you can't get rid of it all, one of the biggest reasons people fail diets is that they deny themselves cravings. Smokers can't quit cold turkey, they ween themselves. And that's what I'll be doing. So no more buying chocolate truffles....   :(  


......... but if I got some for my birthday coming up, it would be rude NOT to eat them, right??  ;)

Better Than Yesterday

Today was a little better. Shake for breakfast, small sandwhich and boiled eggs for lunch and a small 140 calorie snack. I pulled a 53 foot trailer full of product by my lonesome, so there's my exerscise. For dinner, I splurged again, but not to the extent I did last nite. A relatively "healthy" chicken sandwhich at Wendy's. I could've done worse by getting the "W", but I am supposed to be changing!!! So today I think I hit about 60% success.

But now on to the bad stuff......

For the past week I have been fighting off bronchitis. I thought I was getting better, so I decided to sand a wood project I am working on. Big mistake. Sawdust got into my lungs, had a very sore throat by 11 pm and woke up VERY stuffy. So it will be a NyQuil night. (Big effin' Q!!!!!)<~~~~~ [thats for you Rusty.] But I am not going to let this get me down. I am improving on my diet.... slowly. Thank you for the encouraging replies over the past few days.
