lax

I haven't been exercising or eating well. I HAVE been very active the last few weeks, though. While I was in Vegas, I walked about 25 miles. Those casinos are HUGE. Also, I've been doing a lot of outdoor stuff recently (work day at camp and disc golf). Maybe it will balance out. I need to get back to the grocery store so I can get some good foods again.

I hate this crap.

that'll teach me

i got pretty lax throughout the week and on friday i ate zaxby's and promptly threw up.

on the bright side, i've been eating healthy enough that my body doesn't like it when i put crap in.

on the other hand, i will not be eating zaxby's again for QUITE some time. and that makes me sad.

i almost broke myself

monday night, i worked out really hard, and then ran .8 miles. after showering, i was readying my bed for sleep, and my back went out. since then i've been walking very gingerly and whimpering a lot. i'm trying not to completely give up, but i was wasted yesterday. ouchness.

the good part is, i'm still determined. i've got a lot of good food to eat this week. i've been snacking on carrots and grapes, and so far the only bad meal i've had was breakfast at the BK lounge yesterday morning.

sigh. i LOVE food.

been dragging along

last week was rough. i didn't exercise at all, until saturday, and then I overdid it (thanks Tysen). and i didn't eat very well. but, i think i'm back in the swing of things. i went to the grocery store with dave last night, and i'm ready for the week.

grapes? check
carrots? check
apples? check
yogurt? check
rice? check
disgusting healthy cereal? check

i think i'm gonna be really hungry by friday.

awesome website

My mom forwarded me this in an email, and instead of posting 20 pictures to one post, I just decided to find the website (done) and link it here (also done). Interesting take and good info for everybody. This is going up on Metal Heart also.

PS - Patty has been dieting this week. #epicfail yesterday at lunch, but i've recovered nicely. just bought an apple from the fresh produce stand outside my office building. oh, and fatty went running this morning. owwie.

and just like that...

i'm dieting. blurg.

healthy cereal. healthy snacks. smaller meals. walking/running. cutting out softdrinks. who AM i?

i'm the guy that doesn't want to die. ftw.

i made a good joke about myself

last night i was at Nacho Mama's with some kinship folks (i didn't eat anything) after our four-mile hike to the Savannah River, and this conversation happened.

Everyone: (random comments about SAT and ACT scores)
Me: yeah i made a 1090 on the SAT, but I scored in the 97th percentile on the ASVAB.
Beardface and Daniel-3: really?
Me: Yeah. they called me for two years trying to get me into Navy Nuclear Engineering School.
Daniel-3: You can do a lot with that outside the Navy, too.
Me: Well if I had known then what I know now, I probably would have gone into the military.
Beardface: You still can.
Me: Have you ever seen me? They don't take people that can 'just sit there' faster than they can walk.

(uproar of laughter. mirth.)

the end.
