I wanted to post this 2 hours ago, but the server that my website is hosted on just now decided to start working…sarcastic WOOT!
Anywho…T. G. I. F.!!!!! And thank god thursday is over, not only did I basically FORGET to eat throughout the day (no mid morning snack, no lunch, although dinner kinda cancelled anything out) but I was able to get absolutely no sleep either. I didn’t do anything different, no more coffee than usual and the like, so I don’t know. Hopefully that won’t repeat itself this weekend. When I don’t get enough sleep I am usually sickeningly chipper for a few hours, then a total a**hole the rest of the day. I’m still in the somewhat chipper stage, even though I bit the head off one of my co-workers earlier (in my defense, she asked a really STUPID question).
I’m a nice guy all around though, I swear, and I did apologize to her.
So far, besides wacky Thursday, this week has been going well. I have a few more subscribers and twitter followers (Hi ya’ll!), the scale is doing what I want it to do, workouts are going good…
…and…calorie counting isn’t as big of a b*tch as I thought it was going to be.
I was hesitant to do it b/c it seemed like it was going to be a major pain in the a** and was going to take forever. Granted, it does take a little time, but I the pros definitely outweight the cons. It makes me think more about what I am eating, especially when I see that meals that i thought were moderately healthy (ie, my last two nights of dinners) are in fact still total crap. Knowing this, while depressing, is still helpful, and will only allow me to make even better choices in the future.
I can’t get onto twitter from work, so I can’t go in and pull my calorie totals now, I’ll try to do it sometime this weekend. I’ll probably try to find a calorie tracker website to post the information to as well, so I can get more of a breakdown of what I am eating.
One thing is abundantly clear though, the eating out CONSTANTLY needs to stop. I’ve gotten lazy in this regard, b/c its easier to go out then to cook, but there are tons of ways around that, that my waist line and my wallet will be thankful for. I’d rather know 100% what is in my meals, calorie wise, ingredient wise, whatever, instead of having to estimate and round up b/c I don’t know what Bill Bateman’s (or whatever restaurant..thats just the place I’ve eaten at the past 2 nights) prepares their food.
In other news, I’m 1/3 of the way through my goal to spend 60 minutes on the exercise bike and 30 minutes on the stairclimber this week. I still hate the stairclimber with a passion, but I can get through this.
Just look at that smug bastard.
Dunno what the weekend plans are yet, but then again I usually don’t know until the last minute anyway. I’d like to devote a few hours either Saturday or Sunday morning to a total cardio blowout, though. That should be fun (wasn’t being completely sarcastic w/ that statement either). 
Have an awesome weekend, everyone!
OH! and some other random stuff…
Everyone should check out The Mizard of Miz from Jack Sh*t (start at the bottom and work your way up). One of the funniest things I’ve read in while and further proof that this whole weight loss thing can be fun sometimes (instead of being constant, unending, soulsucking torture…oops, I guess chipper Steve is gone).
And, because I like free stuff:
That spiffy little link right there just got me 5 entries into a drawing for free Clif stuff and a visor (anyless money I have to pay for food, the better!). BOOYA! I like his website so far too, he has some pretty interesting articles and really cool dog.
Also, everyone should check out Jessie’s blog. She’s a little perturbed about a weight gain this week (as you will see in photo form when you click on the link) and she needs some lovins. I personally think she is being too hard on herself since she has already lost a CRAPLOAD of weight, but I digress.
Okay, now I’m done (I think). Have a good weekend!
