Sorry for the long delays in updates. I'm busy, K? Anyway, this really really sucks. I was planning on take the Yamaha up to my cousin's house after lunch and we were going to go cruising. Unfortunately, it's raining outside at the moment and heavy thunderstorms are expected to come through this afternoon and evening. I am feeling unnaturally lazy right now. I slept in until 8:30 (I usually get up at 6:20) and I don't have a whole lot to do because most of the plans I had for the day revolved around it being sunny outside. So I'm stuck doing boring stuff around the house like paying bills and crap. Honestly I don't feel much like sitting in front of the computer, so I should probably go find something semi-constructive to do. Hopefully it won't be another month 'til the next time I update... |

Greetings, fellow Livejournalites. It's been a while since I updated last, to say the least. I've decided to use this for a while as a journal of my progress with my diet and exercise regemin. If you don't know, I lost over 30 lbs in the past year, and with the onset of warmer weather, I've been really gearing up and getting serious with my health. For starters, two and a half weeks ago my friend Tanner and I started running every morning at 7 am at this nice half mile track near his house. Because he used to play soccer and stuff, I have had some catching up to do, but I've been making great leaps forward in what I can do and how far I can push myself. In the past few days I've been able to run one whole mile without resting, and just this morning I pushed that to 1.25 miles. After this I work on my abs for a while, a couple reps of some different crunches, leg lifts, etc. When I first started exercising in the morning, my body protested, but now that I'm getting into this routine and my body expects to get up and work up a sweat, it really does feel good to get your blood pumping and accomplish something. I feel much better the rest of the day. I also feel so much better in general, mentally and physically. My goal is to get down to at least 190 lbs, and at this rate I'll hit that no sweat. I'm still not there, but remembering how far I've come, I swear I never want to go back to being fat and lazy ever again. Oh yeah, another thing... on my lunch break today, I walked all the way to Subway, had a veggie sub, and walked back. Round trip is about 2.5 - 3 miles. One way is about a 12 minute walk for me with my long legs, lol.
For my goal tomorrow, I'll probably push myself the same distance as today. With each successive day the same distance gets easier and easier until I can reach my next goal, 1.5 miles (3 laps nonstop). |

It seems my truck does not like rain
It makes driving such a pain
The shifting sucks
The brakes get stuck
And mileage goes right down the drain |

Here i sit but half asleep
With pen in hand and tongue in cheek
Just returned from evening grand,
At least there was no TV-Land.
I tried new Coca-Cola Blak,
And got accused of smoking crack.
I don't know how that came about
(I sniffed the bottle with my snout)
That stuff I could sit and chug -
I swear its a new gateway drug.
The party was for Penny,
Who's my sister-in-law to be.
Though I'm not completely sure,
I think she just turned 24.
I did a lot of work today,
And kept the computers at bay.
I feel as though I'm getting fat,
At least not as much as my cat.
Now it's getting very late,
And can't come up with one last rhyme. |

Guess what I found at the bottom of my washing machine today. Yep, my memory card. I think it went through at least 2 loads of wash, maybe more. I know better than to plug it in and try it because it has been surrounded by wet socks up until about 20 minutes ago. I'll let it dry at least 24 hours and try it tomorrow. I have high hopes though... these things tend to be pretty durable. Lets keep our fingers crossed...
I ordered a new memory card from Newegg last night, as well as another stick of memory for my laptop. The card is a Ritech Pro 512MB 150X SD stick. Its twice the capacity of my previous stick, three times as fast, and $6 cheaper, LOL. Three cheers for supply and demand... |

This update is going to be divided into three groups, first I'll fill you in on my weekend, and then I'm going to be upset about something, and then I'm going to rant about something completely unrelated. Here goes.
Other than the fact that I didn't know I had to work on Saturday, the weekend went quite well. After work I went up to Angela's house to pick her up and go to a get-together on her Dad's side of the family. That was OK I guess. I was pretty much bored out of my skull to be honest. On top of that there was food around, so mix those together and I feel compelled to eat everthing I see to keep myself occupied. We left there and went back to her house, and dinner wasn't ready, and I was going stir crazy just being inside all the time, so Ang and I went down to the park along Armstrong Creek and walked around and talked and stuff. We got a call that dinner was ready, so we went back to have dinner (though neither of us were hungry). Scott and Sarah were there as well, so that was fun. We got to discussing what music to play at the reception. Yeah, that's going to be interesting. On Sunday, I had to do the graphics for the Easter Sunday service. We had a great service. There was a full choir, a brass section, four guitars, the drums and piano. They did three songs and that was awesome. After church I went back up to Halifax again to pick up Angela, well actually I rode my bike up so I didn't really pick her up...anyway, we went to lunch at her Mom's side of the family, that wasn't too bad. Then at 4:30 we went over to my Grandparent's house on my Mom's side where we ate yet again and went outside to get some fresh air and exercise. Bethany took some pictures of Angela and I that I hope to post on my album as soon as she gets them to me.
Speaking of taking pictures... I can't at the moment, which leads me to the second section. I lost the memory card for my digital camera. Yeah, I have no idea where it could be. Last I had it was in the inside pocket of my windbreaker, and I was going to take it home to transfer the pics on it to my computer. I didn't get around to it, and I thought it stayed in my pocket, but I must have taken it out and put it somewhere, or fell out, or I have no idea... *eyes watering up*... I LOST MY MEMORY CARD!! *sob*
In case you feel like looking for it, its blue and plastic and the size of a postage stamp. Its a Kingston 256MB SD card, and contains pictures that are valuable to me. I hope I can find it without going and buying a new one...
I know I was going to rant about something, but Angela is online now, and I don't feel like typing anymore stuff in this update, let alone ranting about something stupid. So, nevermind. Have a nice day. |

Well this thoroughly sucks. I didn't realize I was sheduled to work today, so here I sit, "at work" while its like 75 degrees outside and sunny. I wonder if I could make a dummy that looks close enough like me to sit in front of this computer so I can sneak out of here....
Well, it was an idea. *sigh* |

I felt kinda melancholy all day today. Still to an extent, but not so bad. At least my calves are feeling ALOT better than the past two days. A couple more good nights of sleep and I'll be as good as new. I'm watching the cats play with the office door. Misha always hides behind the door and Marcus goes to the other side and bats his paw between the door and the frame. Then Misha peers around the corner at him. Now they are both out and wrestling in the middle of the floor. Cats are funny. I did the dishes and took out the trash and cleaned the litter boxes and all that crap (pun intended). I really should vacuum but I'm afraid that the minute I leave my computer Angela is going to get online. I guess it wouldn't take me all that long. I need to charge the batteries in my mouse anyway. Maybe I'll stick them in the charger and go push the dirt sucker around. Later.... |
