lose weight (read all 2 entries…)
Weightloss 3 years ago

I haven’t been committed to this in a reasonable way, for a number of reasons, none of them good. Mostly i’m just exhausted and moving around is just taking time away from things like spending time with my family. I have tried doing my Bhanghara workout tape with Lake, but that’s mostly when we’re not so exhausted after a long day rather than on anything resembling a schedule.

Mostly, i’m overloaded and carving out exercise time is taking a back seat to family, school, and work.

On the actual nutrition front, i’m doing really well. I’m eating better, eating less, and getting the best nutritional bang for my buck. I’ve replaced white pastas with wheat, i’ve been making whole grain breads and including vegetables as often as possible. So, there are some successes on at least the actual diet part.

I feel guilty and bad because i’m just not able to find motivation to exercise because i’m so damn tired.



Get a 4.0 qpa (read all 2 entries…)
Well, this didn't work 3 years ago

Unfortunately, i’ve not met this goal, however, it looks as if i’ll be able to maintain at least a high B average throughout the next 8 blocks of classes.

I’m still working hard and doing my best.

No longer a concept, this is a reality 4 years ago

I was walking past a reflective surface yesterday and didn’t recognize the fat person there. Big gut hanging out, meaty arms swingin’. So, i’ve committed myself totally to this. Freaked out on my LiveJournal so I have accountability and have developed a plan for “Eat Less, Exercise More” (as Jameel so succintly put it).

I should stand on a scale and find out what weight I actually am so I know when i’ve lost.

I hate scales.
