riot gear and dissonance
Thursday, October 8th 2009
Not quite sure how I feel about yesterday.I took the route of being lazy and just relaxing all day, and it didn't feel right. I know why too.
If you've been in a pattern for 8 or so months, it becomes a routine. It's what you are used to doing. When you take a day off from following that routine, you feel like you are missing something. I'm not saying that it's the first time I've sat around and done nothing since I got into my routine - but something was different about it yesterday....
Even the source says my hiphops a vortex...

Before and afters! I uploaded them here and also on my photobucket, because the images here are quite small.The "before" was taken a little over a year ago after a comedy show featuring Rich Voss. I think it was maybe 2-3 months after I had surgery. So I'm pushing around 380 right here.

A case of the Mondays
Monday, October 5th 2009
It seems no matter how hard I try, I just can't get into Mondays. Maybe it's my fault for making it my busiest day of the week. Really, it's not even that it's busy - it's just long. I only have 2 classes, but both of them are extended periods so they are long, and they are spread out. So I'm just sitting on campus catching up on everything I didn't do over the weekend.On top of that - I need to make sure I eat and work out.
It doesn't sound like much to most people, but it's overwh...
Calorieking will be the champion of my last 15

I guess I should introduce myself.My name is Charlie, I'm 23 and I reside in North East Pennsylvania. I'm currently working a retail job while studying Economics and Sociology.
I've finally taken the dive and signed up to calorieking, but the weight loss adventure is something I've been doing for the past 17 months. My journey has been a long one, but it's coming close to it's conclusion. Excitement, anxiousness, and nervousness are bundled up inside of me and just churning as I clos...
