P90X

It has been quite some time since I posted about getting back into shape. I must say that through the years, I was in great shape and then fell back into my sedimentary life after an emergency operation earlier this year. Having put on so much weight afterwards has spiraled me into depression and has lead me down a path of self destruction. But I vow to take my life back! Last time I did it with Billy Blanks and now its with P90x. I have been using this for the past few days and it's been really energizing. I will keep updating my progress as I go through each of the workouts. The goal right now is to lose 30 pounds in 90 days. Thats almost a pound every other day. I can do it!

If only they had an iphone app.

Alcohol + Tea

Is it considered cheating if I mix alcohol with tea? Tea helps you lose weight, but alcohol...well... we all know hwat alcohol does.

I didnt eat any of hte snacks or the yummy munchies. But I definitely should have, because all of them liquids don't look so good coming back up.

ahh...drunken stupor. We all need a way to vent.

Weigh Too Much

With all of this working out, I have been noticing that my cravings for foods have increased. More specifically, my cravings for sweets.

Anyone else experience this? Not chocolate, but really, REALLY sweet things. Jolly ranchers...the green ones.

Couple more pounds down, many more to go.

Weight: I aint sayin anything yet.

Emotional status: pretty good. A little depressed for some unknown reason, but other than that. Pretty good.

daily duties

It is my duty to keep working out.

It is my duty to get into shape

I hate being fat.

I hate looking at myself.

I hate the way others look (don't) at me.

Billy....I wish it wasn't as easy as turning off the dvd player to not work out.

my goodness

Finally I am a bit better and able to get back to the gym. After the accident, I never thought I'd be able to get back on my feet. But all is well. Today was my first day back at the gym.

It was definitely painful. I haven't totally healed yet, but I'm able to do some cardio. Nothing too hard and strenuous. I must admit though that being on pain killers and in bed all day has really changed my lifestyle. I loved it, but I also hated it.

It felt funny being on painkillers all day because I felt like I wasn't really there, but I was still there. Definitely surreal.

All in all, I'm glad I'm still alive and back at the gym.

C'mon Billy! Get my fat ass in shape!

now what?

It's been a while since I posted, because I have been holed up in bed. I was a car accident a couple of weeks ago. I'm not too badly hurt. I jacked up my leg, the doctor said I bruised my bone. At least its better than breaking it, but it still hurts like a bitch. I also got a couple of scrapes and bruises. At least no one got terribly hurt or died, but I can say good bye to my little car.

What happened you ask? I'll tell you. On my way to work, this moron ran a red light and smashed into me through the passenger side door. It was a wicked hit. The weirdest part is that something told me to not gun it through the intersection, but i didnt listen...obviously. This guy wasn't drunk or anything, he was a med student that just got off some crazy shift and he fell asleep at the wheel. Totally his fault. I'm totally screwed, but hopped up on vicodin so it's ok. But seriously, they need to reduce these guys' work hours or something, or make them take public transportation home.

But basically, my car is screwed and I'm screwed because I can't work out until my shit heals. I'm trying to remain good on my diet, but we'll see what happens in a week or two more.

I'm just really hating life but at the same time, its ok, because these drugs are great!

where's the people like me at the gym?

Every time I go to the gym, I notice one thing. That I'm really the only one that is out of shape there. Seriously, it's like the gym is really for people in shape already to keep themselves in shape and so there must be a gym for fat asses like me. But where? I know there are private gyms and the like, but those are really expensive.

Maybe it's because I work out in the morning and fat asses like me tend to be lazy so we either don't work out or we work out late at night or something. Either way, they aren't there when I'm there and it's kind of sad and distressing at the same time b/c I just feel like the biggest ogre when I'm there. Just like high school and jr high school. If only I could go back to my college body. Man, i was totally in shape.

Yeesh. I'm gonna keep on truckin' and one day I'll be in shape again.

status: go away!

no weigh!

I f'd up. I'll own up to it. I totally strayed off from my so called diet. I actually had yer basic fat ass come hither food fest. Basically, I had dinner, don't know the portions, but it was some chicken, some tomatoes with onions, rice and some vegetables. It wasn't too bad. But then, I figured, man, the day sucked balls, so I figured, why not have a beer. Then 3 Guinness' and a bag of popcorn later, I was flyin' pretty high and I actually had a blast. The only good thing that came out of it was that I didn't smoke. I couldn't even wake up this morning for a gym session.

Stupid diet. Stupid Guinness. I take that back.

GOOD Guinness!

status: GET OUTTA MY FACE!

ab boot camp

WTF?

I never knew that there were so many different ab exercises. I dont know what they're called, but when I grew up, all there was were the situps and crunches. With all of the different ab crap, my stomach is about to die. I am hurting in places that I never even knew were considered muscles. I always though it was just fat, other than the actual fat fat you know?

I actually can't wait to hit the basic boot camp again. Trying to throw in something different. I think my body has gotten used to some of hte work outs so I gotta figure out how to change things up a bit.

We'll see how tomorrow goes.

status: in pain. but still feeling good.

Finally another update

I know it's been a while since I updated the page. But fear not! I have still been working out and still using the boot camp program.

So far I've lost about 10 pounds since I've started. I've been reading on sopme health threads that in the begginning rapid weight loss is normal, but it will eventually taper off. I sure as hell hope not!

I must admit, I am loving it!

Feelin good and I must admit, I do look mahvelous.

I am going to try and keep regularly updating my progress.

status: no need to ask. Not smoking seems to have really made a difference. I no longer smell, thats for sure.
