Fri - Day 519 (today 520)

Friday's are not my good days. I hate how I find myself alone in the evening, no where to go, the end of a week that was less than productive, debating weather or not to go out or face the gloom reprise of staying in. Last night, I went to the yard house. Ate a nice chicken salad - dressing on the side of course. Then went to go see a terrible movie called "Because I said So". Thank god its saturday morning now. I can go teach my lessons and then come home and get the ball rolling on some serious practicing for a week of recording sessions.

Weight wise, I was around 227 this morning. I guess it fluxuates a few pounds, im probably more like 225. With this being my first week of my mom gone, I can tell that its gonna be easier to stick to a strict diet plan, not being tempted to go eat out for free or get free slop food from her sorority house.

Men's health has a nice issue this month that seems to directly speak to me. Focusing on weight loss, it seems that all the tips they're giving the readers, im following, and it sounds like, when you read the article, that Im the one writing it. This reassures me, and hopefully with some more consistancy, ill eventually reach my weight goals. Right now im just trying to get to 218 again, then ill be back to the lowest spot in this journey (approx. sept-oct 06).

I can see myself reaching there by the end of the month and hopefully reaching into the 2-teens.

Im really desperate for some new clothes, the ones Ive been wearing for about a year are really not doing the trick and I have only three shirts that fit me properly. But why go buy new clothes when Im only gonna throw those ones out after getting to 175-190???

Also, I figured out that its probably wise to skip a day of excersize a week becuase the body gets used to such activity and becomes less impactful on my body. This morning i tried to get up at 7, but no luck. Tommorrow, ill go for a run in the evening after I return from LA.

On friday I ate:

1. Cereal
2. 2 pieces of toast w/peanut butter
3. low fat cottage cheeze
4. grapes
5. pastrami and turkey sand
6. chips/pretzels/doodads
7. chicken salad w/avocado, fried stuff (probably should have avoided that garnish), corn, beans, lettuce, tomato, chipolte and ranch dressing.

So besides the dressing, the fried stuff on the salad, and the fact that I had around 6 servings of carbs, it was a pretty good day. I also ran down to the pier from here. Ill probably make it to the gym on monday for another week of weights/cardio/and jolting this fucking hill off my chest.
