still working...

still stressed out - still at work - still hours away from being done... *sigh*

"diet" is nothing more than the description of your food intake. everyone has a diet. i really don't get why this word pisses so many people off!?

tired, and a bit defeated. i'm on hour-13 of work today, and don't see myself going home for several more hours. i have a project that needs to be done by 8am for a customer teleconference with germany, and the subject matter is the data that i haven't even measured yet, because i'm still debugging my progam. man, i'm ready to leave though. this sux!

i'm feeling... a) good, because i added 20# to my deadlift tonight, and increased weights for all my other lifts as well! b) excited for practice tomorrow. c) tired, as i haven't had more than 6 hrs sleep any night this week, basically due to a fuber-ed sleep schedule, and mild insomnia. d) again, a bit lonesome. been talking to a few friends who have recently met someone, and been hearing about how wonderful it is, and it's making me a bit sad/empty/wistful/forlorn. e) ok, because no matter how sad i feel, i know it's ok, and it will pass.

i've settled at approx. 210 on the scale, but my lifts are still going up, i'm a lot more "solid" and i've recently added running 3 nights a week. taking tonight off for practice, though, and because i'm having a back issue that makes my shoulder blade go numb. (i actually had a compliment from my family last night, about how my upper body looked a lot (bigger/fuller). i was pleasantly surprised, as i didn't think it would be noticeable yet! i guess my next thing to do is start getting my diet in check. i'm working out enough that, if i get my meal planning down, i should be able to lose a lot of body fat without sacrificing muscle mass. it's a little time consuming to start, and it's kind of a pain in the ass to track, but it's really the only thing that works for me. btw, a couple good tools for tracking calories, and your nutrient macros (protein/carbs/fats) are fitday.com, and daily plate (not sure of the web addy of the last one) i've used fitday in the past, but a bunch of online friends are really talking up this daily plate site. feel free to pm me if you have any questions about them!

i'm joining the "single and looking" crowd, although i'm only looking half-heartedly. (no, not with emotionally half-hearted! i mean with less than enthusiastic effort.)

not sure why, but today, this post made me a bit sad...

steak w/heinz 57 sauce, and green beans, with a little salt & pepper. oh, and an energy drink!!

i feel surprisingly well-adjusted! (no not mentally, i went to the chiropractor today!!) time to go workout!

well, not to be a smart-ass, but this thread is about the legality of *abortion*, so...

(not really, but - kinda... umm. yeah...)

i'm feeling... 1) positive, cuz practice went well today, 2) tired, cuz i only got 4-5 hrs sleep last night, which isn't enough to recover from a workout, 3) a melancholic, yet happy, to have sat with my son today, 4) full, cuz i just got done with dinner, 5) a bit lonely, not due to the holiday, but because i'm home alone, and missing femalem companionship. (and i don't necessrily mean sex) 6) nostalgic, for the time when i *felt* like i actually had friends. i have them now, i just don't feel like i do. does that make any sense? 7) like i might as well go out tonight, cuz there's no way i'll ever meet someone while sitting alone in my house...

can't decide between...

i've been hovering around 213-215 for months, but this week, i added running a mile, on my off-lifting days. weighed myself this morning, and i was at 207.8! (yes, i weigh myself every day, but i do so, to get a feel for my body-condition. i can actually guess, within half a pound, what i weigh at any given time now!) lifting again tonight!! i'm actually realyl diggin this!

because i'm at work, and these women are here on a tour from one of our customers. for some reason, my work seems to frowns on trying to "pick up" the customers' employees!?

i think cupid is stupid, becausue he keeps parading these adorably attractive women in front of me, without my having any legitimate reason for an excuse to interact with them. damn him!!

yeah, saturday is my son's anniversary, so i'm with you... as for me, i'm feeling torn between feeling really great recently, and sad, yet looking forward to, visiting my son's memorial on saturday. speaking of which, i'll be in ann arbor around 4pm, if anyone wants to grab a coffee or something... i'll post it in another forum, too.

post-workout drinks, consisting of; drink 1) quick-digesting carbs *grape flavor!* (1 scoop/40g Waxy Maize (amylopectin - corn-based modified starch)) (wait 15 min. or so) drink 2) protein shake *ice cream strawberry flavor!* (1.5 cups skim milk, 1 scoop (28.4 g) powdered whey protein, 2 teaspoons CGT (powder containing 5g Creatine Monohydrate, 3g L-Glutamine, 2g Taurine,, and 5g Inulin) pm me if you have any questions about the above - i love to discuss supplements, but i don't want to derail the thread!

pumped, stoked, SWOLE! (inside joke) just finished another workout!! *flexes moar*

my point was, that if you ate more than you usually do, you weren't "eliminating" it as fast as you were taking it in, which means those three pounds are likely just undigested food, rather than any more permanent weight, i.e. fat cells, etc... see? there's a positive way to look at anything!

eh, that's within normal range strictly for water retention, regardless of what foods you've eaten in the last few days... don't sweat it!

i want my lower back to loosen up - it's still hruting from the firewood haulin this weekend... tylenol & motrin are barely working!
