Day Two Hundred Eighty Five

I woke up early, but Lisa did not. We didn't get out there walking until about 9:30 or so, which is way too late. I like doing it early. Anyway, we did 3 miles! My legs are tired and I was really burning when we got back. It's Awesome! I can't wait to do 6 miles again, but that is going to be an occasional thing with me. My routine is going to change. I'm going to start doing 3 miles every morning, then throughout the day I'm going to do sit-ups, crunches, leg lifts, and stretches, then in the evening I'm going to mix it up doing DDP yoga and my Bowflex workouts. That's my new routine, rather than before I just did a straight 6 miles and that was all I did. I want to add other workouts in there doing other things and working out other parts of my body.

Big news today, I finished my gallon of water!!!! Yay!!!! Finally, I finished the whole gallon. I feel so proud lol. I've been trying for about 2 weeks now to finish the whole gallon, but I just couldn't do it. Now I'm really going to try harder. I want this to be an everyday thing. Last summer I was drinking a lot of water and that really helped me in my weight loss and it kept my hydrated, which is super important when you're working your body like this.

Not much else happened today. This evening I went to Front Row Seat and rented some movies. I hadn't done that in a long time. I have been really reckless with money. I have been making the stupid mistake of buying movies that I had no idea how they were. I had never seen them, and here I was buying them paying 19 to 24 dollars and here they turned out to be really stupid and boring. Just a waste of money! Well now I'm being smart and the only movies I'm buying are ones that I want to own because I've seen them and they are really good. Some examples of duds that I bought were OCULOUS, FURY, Transcendence, Lone Survivor (which was good, but it's not something I would watch over and over again), and No Good Deed. Those movies were a waste of money to me. So right now, I'm never doing that again. This time, I'm going to rent it first. So I did. I rented, As Above, So Below (which I wanted to buy but never did because I didn't have the money at the time and good thing too because I would never want to see it again), and Leprechaun Origins, which really sucked and I hated it. Also, A Walk Among The Tombstones, which was good, but I hated the ending and would've hated it if I bought it. I also rented Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. I've already seen that one and I thought it was good, but never bought it. Just felt like seeing it again.

Anyway, that's what I did. Saw this really hot girl who worked at Front Row Seat. She was really nice looking. We talked a bit while I was getting my movies. Maybe I can get to know her more so I'm going to keep renting ;} Anyway, now I'm going to relax and wait for Lisa to get home. It's so quiet around here when she's not around. I wish my cats and dogs could talk lol. Goodnight!

Day Two Hundred Eighty Four

Today was a pretty mellow day. Got up, did my 3 miles this morning. It was good! Lisa came with me. She's really wanting to start running. She's ready to roll and really get to losing weight. She has so much potential in exercise. Seriously, that girl can run! She's not in shape, she has a long road ahead of her, but let me tell you, she used to run back when she was a kid in Middle School. She was a cross country runner. Somehow, that gift of running stayed with her. She may not be in shape and has extra weight on her, but she can outrun anyone, even some runners who have been running for years. At any given moment, she could take off and run one, even two miles non stop. I could never do that! I'm still trying to build myself up to running half a mile non stop and I've been at this since April 28, 2014. That is really only because my weight was really high and I had no idea until that day. So because of that, I didn't want to wear out my knees right away by pushing myself too hard. I need to go very slow and slowly work my way up to it as my weight drops. Now, I've dropped a lot of weight, but I don't feel I'm at a place where I can really start a daily running routine, also since both November and December are now officially my Off Season. That's what I call them. Every person working out will have an off season, especially if they've been at it for a long time. I have been! Since April 28th of last year, I had been busting my ass everyday. I started off walking 5 miles, to beefing it up to 6 miles per day. I did great and I've lost so much weight. Once the end of the year came around, however, I really began to slack in my routine. My walks had to be cut down to 3 miles because my knees were really bad because of my accident where I tripped and tumbled up at Chama during my Elk Hunt in September. That really crapped out my knee for a while. After I got home, I still did 6 miles but my knee was really bothering me so I had to take some time off. I think I took about a week off of exercising to let myself heal up, after that I really took it easy out there. I didn't walk to fast, just kept my legs mobile but didn't really push myself. I did that thru the end of October, then throughout November and December. Once January hit, I realized I needed to get back out there and start hitting it hard again because the scale says I put back on some weight. I did that because my eating restrictions kinda went out the window during the holidays. Well, now I'm back on the eating restrictions and I've been pushing myself really hard. Every morning after my walks, I'm sweatin bad and my legs are super tired! It feels great. I'm also drinking lots of water daily. I'm still trying to finish off my gallon per day. Almost there, but not quite.

Anyway, Lisa is doing great! I'm going to push her until she gets to her goals, just like I have pushed her throughout her life and with that, she's doing Amazing! She'll be applying for the Nursing Program this year after getting all her classes done. She's maintained a 4.0 GPA while having a full time job. She's really getting it done out there and I'm so proud of her!

Now, it's time for me to start working on myself and that's what Fyrescape is all about. Little under 3 months left and I'm really going to get busy ;} Well, that is all for today! Goodnight.

Day Two Hundred Eighty Three - REST DAY

Well, today I took an early Rest Day. I didn't want to, but Lisa was still acting up this morning and that really just put me out of the mood to go exercise. When you're not focused, you really can't do anything, or atleast that's how I am. I just stayed in bed! I swear, she got so distant yesterday and did not talk to me at all the whole day. Just locked herself in her room and didn't come out. I was so aggravated that I left last night and went for a drive. I just needed to get out of the house. We were supposed to do so many things yesterday too. We planned to go to a movie, do laundry, maybe go eat out or something. Here she was just mad all day. Then this morning, I heard her walking around. I swear, I almost thought she was going to move out.

Anyway, she called me a bit after she left this morning. Finally, after a whole day passes, she finally talks to me and says she sorry about everything. We had a long talk and really got everything out in the open. She finally realizes that I was just trying to protect her and she realizes what she did was wrong, coming outside like that. We have neighbors and little kids up the road. It's just crazy! But we finally worked everything out and now things are good, thank God. I hate being mad at my best friend. It's like a part of me shuts off when things are going bad between us.

So yesterday, I didn't eat anything all day because she was hiding in her room. I was so hungry. So after she drove her mom around this morning, which is why she left the house early, she bought some food at Walmart. Chicken, with potato salad and she bought me a big Diet Pepsi and we had a good time talking, laughing, and just being us. I was very happy! In fact, I'm getting hungry and there's plenty of leftovers so when I'm done writing this blog, I'm going to go heat me up some more after I feed my animals. It was a good day and now she realizes what she did was not good and she knows why I got after her. I'm thankful to God that I still have my best buddy here with me.

Ok, that's all for now. Tomorrow, it's back to exercising. I'm going to try and do some DDP yoga tomorrow also. That'll be fun! Goodnight ;}

Day Two Hundred Eighty Two

Oh man...today is such a bad day. Another bad argument with Lisa again. We went out and did 3 miles again this morning. It was really good. When we came home, I was ready to do my jump roping and my weightlifting. Lisa goes inside and gets everything. I'm outside stretching my legs and starting up my dead lifts....then the door opens and Lisa comes walking out wearing no...

Well I'm not going to say. Just know that I got after her, she got mad and now she's locked herself in her room like a little kid. I'm so mad at how she's acting. I only got after her because I care about her and I didn't mean anything bad by it. Just got over protective of my best friend.

I don't know, it's all crap. Not to mention, this morning I got into it with another stupid friend of mine on facebook. Actually, now she's an ex friend. I ain't dealing with her dumb angry ass anymore. I'm so sick of her BS anyway. Every day all I see on my news feed is posts from her that say "F**K this and F**K that, F**K You and F**K Them" it was awful. That woman used the word 'F**K' as much as she used the word "the". It was insane and I really got tired of that, but I stuck it out. Now she gets drunk and starts talking all romantic to me, wanting a date and everything, then when she sobers up, she just ignores me. I swear, I HATE DRUNKS! I HATE PPL WHO DRINK! IT'S PATHEDIC! If you're thirsty, go drink some damn water and 86 the alcohol! Damn, I'm sick of dealing with drunk ppl. It's so F**King pathedic!

Well I'm too mad to write anymore.

Day Two Hundred Eighty One

Got up today but not too early this time. I was really sleepy this morning. I could not get up! But, eventually I did lol. Then I got ready and went headed out. Did 3 miles and I walked it strong again! Lisa came with me, as she has been everyday now. She really didn't want to come out today. She was feeling really lazy as well. Plus, she had to go to school today. Tuesdays she has class most the day and is not done until almost 5pm. So, needless to say, the rest of my day was rather dull. I really need to do some work outside, but it was kinda windy today. I didn't like it! I hate windy days, especially around here because it's so dry sometimes.

Oh man, my leg is really aching right now. I need to rest it up. Tomorrow, it's another day of the same thing. I haven't done my jump roping in a few days because my knee is really acting up on me. I go out there and try to do it, but my knee starts to throb. Pisses me off! Tomorrow I'm going to try and get it done though. Oh man, my legs are really tired tonight. Well, time to rest ;}

Goodnight!

Day Two Hundred Eighty

Another day of a strong 3 miles! Oh man, the difference with my walks now compared to the ones I'd been doing that last 2 months, is I'm freakin tired afterwards. I mean I am TIRED! My legs are burning, I'm sweating! Before, nothing. I hardly broke a sweat and it must've took me a long time just to do one walk. I was just strolling. Dammit! That's a big tip, when you start to get lazy, especially around the holidays, you really need to watch your workouts. Sometimes you'll just start lagging really bad and not even notice it. Just because you do it, doesn't mean you're getting anything out of it. Sometimes your body will just get used to it and you won't be burning any calories, therefore you're not burning any fat. You really gotta push yourself where you're breathing heavily and breaking a sweat. Then you know for damn sure that you are getting somewhere because your body is really working overtime. That was the BIG mistake I made over the last two months. I wasn't pushing myself and because it was the holidays, I was allowing myself to eat sweets more often. I'm still not drinking any regular soda. When I do drink soda, it's always Diet. Now that doesn't not mean Anything good. Diet Soda doesn't mean you're doing it healthy. No soda is better than Diet soda. Try to stick to water. That's what I'm doing now, I'm really trying to finish an entire gallon of water per day. It's tough, it really is! Yesterday and today, I did not finish my gallon, but I came pretty darn close. I'm still trying and I know I'll be able to do it.

Well, not much else to really say for today. Rather dull for me this evening. So, I'm going to relax my legs. My right knee is doing the usual, acting up. I really hope it heals up. I'm sick of it hurting and slowing me down all the time. But, that's what I've gotta deal with given my 7 years of laziness.

Goodnight!

Day Two Hundred Seventy Nine

Woke up and did 3 miles this morning. Walked it pretty fast again. My legs were pretty burnt out afterwards. That was all I did the rest of the day, other than the Super Bowl tonight. Oh my gosh, that game was crazy! I just can't believe it. The Seahawks had it! They were right there, one yard away from being Back to Back Champions...and they pass it?! WTFudge! Seriously! I will never understand why they didn't give the ball to Lynch and have him just plow his way to the win. Damn! That was just...omgosh I still can't believe it!

Lisa came home early tonight and that's what we talked about, the crazy last play of the Super Bowl. I do not like the Patriots. I really don't! I don't really care for the Seahawks either, but they played so great in that game. I swear, they were almost going to be my second favorite team after the NY Giants. All the way up until the classless act of starting that big brawl after they blew it. Talk about No Sportsmanship man! I swear. That was embarrassing! Grown men fighting like little kids. So yeah, that totally blew my views of them out of the water. They were the ones who screwed up, and here they start throwing punches. That was disappointing!

Anyway, Lisa had a really cruddy day at work. She's really going thru some stuff with a kid there. I hope she can stay strong. As for me, I hope I'm doing good in my exercising. I really want to continue to push myself and really lose more weight before my Fyrescape is up in April. Just 3 months away now so I gotta get busy ;}

Goodnight!
