I went back into it and cleaned up my language, which just was not appropriate. One of my bad habits is that my mouth (keyboard) can get way from me when I am really, really angry. I'm still furious with myself for what I've allowed, but I am going to channel that anger into something productive: vengeance. That's right: I will have my revenge on the lard I'm now carrying around by by learning from this experience and attaining the goals that I keep talking about but never working toward. After I take my shower, I am sitting down with my BFL book and my laptop and laying out a strict structure and regimen for reaching my goal. If that's what it takes, then that's what I'll do. I can do one of two things: I can wallow in anger and self-pity/depression, or I can turn this around to stoke the flames of desire for change. I refuse to bow to the negative voices of self-pity and depression. I am aflame right now, and this will help drive the engine of my (re)transformation. October 6 is the deadline. Let's get going! http://www.jesusphreaks.com/blog4life/2007/07/marching_orders.html http://www.jesusphreaks.com/blog4life/2007/07/marching_orders.html Motivation channeling anger for productive use refusal to be defeated Sun, 15 Jul 2007 17:05:29 -0600 202.8 pounds! ***DAMmit, I am so angry at myself for letting it get this far that I could put my fist through a wall. At this point, I have totally lost every last ******* bit of gain for which I worked so hard, and it is all. MY. fault. There's nothing and no one else that I can blame. I've been too lazy and undisciplined to exercise regularly, as I know (with experiential evidence) I should do. I've totally lost ANY discipline in my eating habits; in fact, they may be worse than before I started working out.

If I'm to get back on track and stay there, I need a direction. (He who fails to plan, etc. . .) So, here are my goals:

In 12 weeks (August 10, 2007), I will:]]> http://www.jesusphreaks.com/blog4life/2007/05/goalsetting.html http://www.jesusphreaks.com/blog4life/2007/05/goalsetting.html Motivation Sat, 19 May 2007 04:15:41 -0600 for-Life challenge was a qualified success. I was been both pleased and disappointed in my performance. Since beginning, I dropped from 214 pounds to 180. I've been disappointed, though, that life seems to conspire against me to prevent me from progressing further. Though I have made considerable progress, I likely could have been much further along by now, had I been more disciplined. In the time between then and now, the world's largest Reset button has been pushed on my life.]]> http://www.jesusphreaks.com/blog4life/2007/05/lets_get_going_shall_we.html http://www.jesusphreaks.com/blog4life/2007/05/lets_get_going_shall_we.html Motivation beginning gym rackspace restart Sat, 19 May 2007 02:59:23 -0600 does seem to be my constant companion, especially on Mondays. I was really pleased with myself tonight. I had it all planned out; my meals were cooked & packed, my workout clothes clean, ready to hit the gym before going to work. Well, it was pouring buckets, so I had to juggle an umbrella, a computer bag, and a ginormous gym bag with my gym clothes and lunch bag in it. When I finally got inside, I dropped them to the floor to re-arrange myself. Got to my desk, opened up and pulled out my lunch bag. My dripping wet lunch bag. Yep. Opened the bag and found that my milk bottle had popped open, soaking my clothes and getting milk in all my meal containers. Best laid plans, and all that? Yeah. Mama Margie's, here I come. Again. No workout today. I don't think Rackspace would look too kindly on someone doing nekkid resistance training in their gym.]]> http://www.jesusphreaks.com/blog4life/2007/03/murphy_is_my_friend.html http://www.jesusphreaks.com/blog4life/2007/03/murphy_is_my_friend.html Exercise Journal Tue, 13 Mar 2007 00:42:31 -0600
