So just a check in, doing well. Weight 259, so only two pounds since last weigh in, but luckily I'm only about 10 lbs from my last years weight. Thats great. I feel great. I'm going to gym and have counseling tomorrow morning. I feel like I have been controlling my appetite well this week, given being so busy. Check in more tommorow.
Best

This week
What a great weekend! Such fun, good times. Not exactly healthy and all, but this week is a new week, with a renewed chance to achieve my goals. I have an exam tom. morning, then an Arabic exam on Tuesday. I want to go to the gym on Tuesday, Weds, and Friday, and maybe Sunday again. I want to eat like i'm on a diet, eat for my goals. I'd like to go the gym at least once here at AU with one of the guys across the hall. I'd like to weight myself. I'd like that weight to be under 260. Most of all I'd like to stay happy, and continue feeling how I do. I go to see St. Vincent on Wednesday with a beautiful girl, and hopefully I'll scheme some kind of study sesh on Monday night with her. we shall see. I cannot stress how great I feel right now, just confident and happy. I want to harness this positive energy into getting my goals achieved.
The only real point of nervousness is going to see my parents in two weeks. They want so much for me to be healthier and look better, and I want that too, I just don't want to let them down. I want to look healthier to them, so that they can be assured I am making good decisions here. God, I can't believe I've been in this semester almost two months. Crazy how time flies. I need to get serious now, its going to get warm out, and I want to look and feel better for the season. Sweaters can cover up extra weight now, but in the spring there is little to hide. I want to look better, feel better. Look better feel better.
A strong dedicated effort can get this achieved, I know it can. Lets set the bar for 20lbs by April 1st. Lets set that goal, and lets acheive it. I can do it. I can do it.
Today I ate two slives of veggie pizza, and had eggs Benedict for breakfast. Animal Crakers a second ago. This is embarrassing. No bueno.
Tom: banana & coffee for breakfast, Salad for lunch, Chicken and veggies for dinner. Ideal. Lets make that happen.

Its been awhile
I need to be to back on this blog. I'm back to the gym, and back to eating well, back to feeling well, but this is the piece that falls from my schedule first. The snow storm sort of mirrored a mental storm of sorts, everything fell apart. Diet, exercise, school work--all just kind of drifted away. After going to the gym, going back to class, being inducted into a fraternity, and getting tickets for me and a beautiful girl to go see St. Vincent next week, I feel better to say the least.
I guess I need to keep myself in check. I haven't seen my counselor in since two weeks ago, nor had I gone to the gym. I'm way behind in my goals, and I know that. But that's not what it is about, it's about making a life change. A meaningful change, and a hard one at that. The habits I am changing are the habits long entrenched, never addressed. Some are genetic, tendencies that have cropped as I have matured. These things, the foibles in my character, are the hardest things to address. As the jolly green African giant says, its mind vs. body. My mind can win yet, I know this.
I know this.
Food:
Salad, Turkey Sandwich.
12in Subway Chicken
Eh, not a lot of food, but not necessarily good food.
Tomorrow should be better. Tomorrow I want to go the gym @ 4 w/ Leo. Depends on him.
Till then,
Ryan
