Crazy Week

Hmm... hovering around 185 right now. It's been a crazy week what with me getting ready to go back up to school, probably tonight. I hope to finally get over to mikes and get a good lift in beforehand, then I have dinner with friends down here and about 6 million errands to run. I fell off a little bit, for some reason my craving for salt and carbs has been off the charts. It's not the way I wanted to go back up but I should have expected the craziness to get to me a little bit. No rest, no mercy, no matter what. I'm getting it back together today, food has been great and tomorrow the rest and relaxation should get me ready for the weekend challenges, including the massive beer drinking assosciated with football. I will be no more than 180 by next Thursday, mark my words.... and I will never fall off like I have these past few days ever again. It's depressing but a good reality check... I'm not invincible. Not yet.

BUCKEYE OPENER

Well I am going to have literally no time to post this weekend, so I might as well do it now while I'm getting paid, right?

So this morning I hopped on the ol' scale again and got something I really didn't expect... 179.5

Now, I have no idea how this happened but it seemed like just two weeks ago I was fighting tooth and nail with 190, then all the sudden I'm dropping weight like its no big thing. Which in fact, I am no longer. This is a good and bad thing, as much as losing all this weight has done both for my image and mentality... there is still much left to be done. I have almost zero definition in the midsection... and for some reason I STILL HAVE FREAKIN' LOVE HANDLES. Aggravating. But at least some numbers are going in the right direction and it is getting close time to start seriously focusing on my muscle building... which will mean a change in diet. I feel this is something I will have to ease into as it will obviously be more calories, and I don't want to over do it on my first few attempts. One thing I will have to start thinking about is how to plan my meals entirely different, especially since I will be going back to school soon. If I want to lift and successfully build muscle, I'm going to have to up my protein intake probably 5x what it is now, and I'm going to have to spread that through a day of short, small meals, approaching somewhere in the network of 2000-2200 calories of dense, wholesome food a day. It's going to be a helluva lot more challenging than forcing myself into the gym, thats for sure.

Anyways, I got Red Lobster endlesss shrimp tonight, Buckeye opening day tomorrow, and probably chillin' with my friends up in Columbus on Sunday... then my sisters birthday on Monday. Yeah, busy, and a lot of challenging scenerios nutrition wise. I gotsta go, have a great weekened everyone

Apologetic Wednesdays

I feel I have to apologize. Oftentimes when I get on to make a post, I have an idea rolling around in my head and it tends to turn into mindless bitching with no real thought or purpose. So, I'm sorry for that.

On to the good news... I jumped on the scale this morning and it read 181.5. Now, I don't fool myself, obviously getting on the scale in the morning is guarenteeing that your not actually seeing a true body weight... simply because eating and drinking during the day always adds to the count. But hell, I can't remember a single moment, ever, when I saw a number that low in respect to my weight... so I'll take it. I have no idea how either... last week I all but gorged myself but somehow my body responded positivly. Maybe I actually needed all the food, who knows. Anyways, I don't look the way I want to in the mirror so obviously there is a ton of work left to do, it is just great to finally be past that 190 misery, and hopefully things will start to look more cut as time progresses. Anyways, I have to get back to work. Have a great rest of the week everyone.
