Feeling More Energetic
Thursday, June 30th 2011
As I find myself beginning to embark on a nice mini vacation I'm reflecting on what I have done the past week and a half. My energy levels have shot up through the roof. I'm excited to be active again in whatever capacity that is available. I'm staying away from most temptations and really watching the calories that I'm putting into my body.This weekend I'm going to be out of town almost the entire time. I'm going to visit my girlfriend's family. I met her parents for the first time...
Feel the Burn
Tuesday, June 28th 2011
It's amazing, I've been back on my journey for a week and a day. Yet a light switch has turned on and I couldn't be happier. Last week I commented on how I need to find a way to workout. My days are crazy long. bla bla bla. Yes I'm super busy but that was just me finding another way to make excuses.I remind myself what are excuses..
"Excuses, excuses are monuments of nothingness. They build bridges that lead to nowhere. Those who use those tools of incompetence, shall am...
Boot Camp
Monday, June 27th 2011
Update:Just a quick update. Girlfriend recently bought Turbofire. I woke up today yearning for a calorie burn so I brought up the idea of us trying it out tonight. So after class (at 10pm), I will be giving it a try just to find a way to get a burn.

Boot camp was no joke. I actually enjoyed it. Some good people were around who had been doing it since September. I pretty m...
Kinect
Friday, June 24th 2011
I like video games. I always have since I was a little kid. I'm a "gamer" as they call us. But it's not something that I let take over my day. I still lead a very busy life, work, school, awesome girlfriend. So it's definitely not holding me back.Now that I've said that, I'm absolutely dying for a Kinect for xbox360. Not sure if any of you are familiar with it, but it takes the motion capture gaming of a Wii and takes it to next level. No controller at all. The system r...
Finding my motivation
Thursday, June 23rd 2011
So as I've shared, I'm committed to making the moves that are necessary to restart my journey. After a year of ups and downs, I am focusing on eliminating excuses and putting in the work. I've been keeping tabs of all food intake in the diary all week long so far. I know it's only been 4 days, but it's a good step in the right direction. (I even included all the beer I drank on Tuesday, not trying to lie to myself!). With a hectic schedule like mine, it can be easy to say that I have no tim...
