Today's the Day!!! ;} This morning, I started off early with my 2 1/2 mile walk. I'd like to point out that I started my Fyrescape Journey on April 29 of this year and it is now May 30th. My weight was at 360lbs on the 28 of April. I'm happy to report now that my weight has dropped to 336lbs. Now how Awesome is that?!! I dropped twenty four pounds by exercising and eating right. I knew I could do it and I thank God that he's given me the strength to come this far and I'm nowhere near done. One cool fun fact is, this evening I pulled out some of my old jackets. They can fit me so much better than they used to! One jacket, I could put it on, but I could not close it in front. There was maybe a 2 inch gap on one coat and about a 3 1/2 inch gap on the other. Guess what, now they BOTH can close!! I'm so happy about that. Finally got some inches down. It was a good day!
Another great thing about today, I bought Mario Kart 8 this morning!! Now this is a story for you. A few days ago, I bought one of those pre-order cards for the game at Walmart. Here in my town (Farmington) we have two Walmarts. One on the west side of town, the other on the far east side. I used to work on the east side store back in 2006. I rarely shop there now though, only because I live over on the west side of town. So anyway, that store is closer to me. I go there this morning with Lisa, totally excited to get my game. I present my pre-order card to the girl working in the electronics dept. She stares at me blankly and asks...."uh, what are you gonna do with this?" I'm like, WTH you have no idea what that is! I told her I was picking up my game. I didn't see any Mario Kart games in the game case so I figured they had them in the back and have not yet put them out on the shelves yet. Guess what she does...she goes over to the game case which I just came from and stands there for a few minutes looking for the game....omgosh. Then she comes over to me and says it's not there, so she asks the other girl who's working there and all that girl says to her is "oh I don't think we got them in yet, probably wait a couple days and we should have them" so that's what that idiot told me! Yeah, I was pissed. I told her, it says May 30th on the card, and I pointed it out. She said, yeah I know it says that but I don't think we got them in yet. So I asked her, Ok..so what do I do then? She says blankly again, Uh...probably just wait a few days then check back we might have it. I stared at her, then said coldly, So did I buy this pre-order card for Nothing? She just stares at me and says, blankly again, uh..no just use it when you come back I guess. WTF!!!!! Now that's Walmart customer service for you! Those damn idiot girls in the electronics department don't know a damn thing! They didn't even bother going into the back to see if the games came in. They just gave me the "uh...I don't think" speech. I was so disgusted. I almost just thru that damn pre-order card in the trash. I mean, seriously, if that damn store is going to be selling those pre-order cards then they better damn well make sure they have that particular product on the shelves the day it's released, otherwise stop selling them! Totally pathedic!!! I was pretty mad. So, Lisa and I went to the OTHER Walmart store on the east side of town. I figure I'd check there before throwing that card away. Soon as we got there, I headed back to the electronics dept. I get to the games case and the girl working there has a huge box of Mario Kart 8 games that she's stocking in the game case! I'm like, Woohoo, give me one of those. She was so helpful, she even let me use my pre-order card to buy the game. She was very nice, very helpful. I was so satisfied with their customer service. I swear, the west side Walmart needs to fire all those BS employees who don't know sh*t and give their customers the "uh...I don't know" speeches. Pissed me off! Anyway, I got my game. After that, Lees and I went to Arby's and got some Turkey sandwiches, then headed home to race before she had to go to work.
Just after eating, I had a surprise visit from my little sister. She was telling me about her court date scheduled for next week. Towards the end of last year, this crazy girl that she knew, went over to my mom and dad's property, walked into their house, locked my sister out of the house and of course, my younger brother didn't do anything, just let her in, then that girl ended up assaulting my sister outside when she finally went out. She attacked my sister and did some damage to her car, then she bailed. My sister tried getting the Navajo Police to help her but of course, they are the worst police force in the world. Slow and inefficient. Anyway, my sister wants to file assault charges on that girl and damage to property. Well the damn courts finally got back to her a few days ago and they scheduled a court date for next week. Now my sister has to go there, along with my brother, since he was a witness to the whole thing. Yeah, sad as it is, my brother didn't do anything, just watched that girl beat up his sister. That made me mad! I would've went over there and dragged that girl by her hair off my mom and dad's property, then tied her ass up and wait for the cops to come haul her drunk ass to jail, but I was working that day when it happened. I didn't hear about it until after I had got to work. Made me so mad! But, she got thru it all and now has to deal with it. That's the news there.
This evening, I challenged myself with my walk. I did my 2 1/2 miles to finish up my 5 miles for the day. This time, I walked pretty late. I headed out about 8pm. The sun was going down and I wanted to be back home before it got dark. It's a long walk so I really needed to step it up. Cody and I headed out and I really stepped it up. I was walking hard and fast. Wouldn't you know it, I got home before it got dark. I was back by 9:14pm. The sky was a shady blue color. Sun went down, but you could still see. I was so proud of myself. I really hit it hard tonight! I'm gonna try to walk that fast in the morning. Reminds me again of my running days all those years ago. I used to run at night and I would run for miles. During the day, I couldn't do crap lol. Just didn't have it during the day, but at night, I could run forever it seemed. Werewolf-Style ;} Nothing has changed it seems. The sun was down and I had tons of energy. I was walking tough, so I'm gonna try that tomorrow morning and see how it does me.
So that was my day! Lisa is getting off soon. We'll probably play more Mario Kart when she gets home. We played some earlier and oh man, it is so fun! The kart racing is so intense. Similar to Mario Kart wii, but the tracks are more advanced and you can race on walls, glide thru the air and race underwater. It's really crazy! We had lots of fun playing. Well, I'm going to log off now. It's been a great day and a good mark in my Journey. I'm planning on continuing my exercising for many more months and years to come. Thankx for reading!
Goodnight!
