Weekly Recap

Oh, what a weekend!

Thursday night - Shopping at the mall and Wal-Mart with Kim. Ate at the food court - bad decision.

Friday night - Helped Elizabeth set up for Georgias birthday party for 6 hours. Ate Taco Bell - bad decision.

Saturday - Spent 4 hours truck shopping with Jon. Partied with Georgia for 3 hours. Partied with old friends for 4 hours. Worn out. Ate Wendys, OCharleys, Little Caesars, and McDonalds - horrible decisions.

Sunday - Cleaned house and had family over for my Moms birthday dinner. - Ate hamburger, hot dog, and LOTS of rotel - bad decision.

Monday - EXHAUSTED from my weekend activities and decided to take the day off of work. I think I stayed in bed the entire day. Spaghetti-o's for lunch, Popeyes for dinner - bad decision.

Tuesday - My first day of Couch To 5K - I failed. I am not to the point of jogging yet. My lungs couldnt handle it. I did walk 1.5 miles though and did some strength training. Had McDonalds for breakfast, soup for lunch, spaghetti for dinner - Not too bad, besides the McD's. I was actually under my calorie goal for once. 

Wednesday - Feeling the BURN from walking the day before. I rested today because of the pain in my shin. Began doing Wall Pushups while riding the elevator at work. Completed 60! Toast and sausage for breakfast, Subway for lunch (I was craving it) and OCharleys for dinner ("I was forced") - Would have been fine if not for the OCharleys!

Thursday - Completed 85 Wall Pushups at work as well as 40 butt clenches! I can really feel the burn in my biceps! Didn't go walking due to pure laziness. Toast and apple for breakfast (great choice!), Subway for lunch again (met with old friends - "no choice"), Bologna cups for dinner - Started the day well, ended bad.

I'm not going to defend myself. I can't continue living like this. I am determined to make this week count for something. I want to complete each day feeling good about myself and finish the week feeling accomplished. 

NOMOREEXCUSES!

On a personal note - I'm trying to discover new music. I still listen to the same music I discovered in High School! That was TEN YEARS AGO! I mean i've heard some new bands since then but, pretty much, when I turn on a playlist it's the old stuff. So, I renewed my subscription to Rhapsody where I can test out new albums without buying. Yesterday I became addicted to Lorde - Pure Heroin. It's powerful, mellow, and mysterious. I love it! I tried listening to AFI - Burial but I was honestly bored three songs in. AFI was my absolute fave back in the day but after Decemberunderground I became bored by their songs. I tried some Rotting Out. They put on such a good show but listening to the album, eh. Every song sounds the same and I can't stand that. I also gave Muck Sticky another try. Well..theres only so many songs you can sing about smokin weed and your ding a ling. I finished off the night with some Lou Reed and, maybe it was the bowl I smoked but...damn that was some good music. Of course, Lou Reed isn't new to me but I've never really just sat and experienced his music. Now I have and I am pleased! Winner of yesterday - Lorde and Lou Reed.

Besides discovering new music I've also been interested in debt relief and financial independence. A friend let me borrow Dave Ramseys book Financial Peace revisited and Americas Cheapest Family. I like what i'm learning so far! 

Spanish learning has taken a break but I really need to get back to it!

Oh, i'm getting my 3rd Lipo shot today. I thought about quitting because I haven't seen results since the first one but I told myself that this injection isn't a miracle drug. It's not going to melt away the fat on its own. I have to do the work and it will help me. I obviously didn't do that last week so heres to a fresh start....

OH! LAST THING!!! I finally submitted my application to enter the 5K Glo Run! I honestly didn't think I would commit to it but damn it I DID! And it felt good.

This blog isn't just about weight loss for me. It's about a total self transformation.
