Back on the ball. I think.

Today I went to class and had my protein shake.
We'll see what happens tomorrow.
I'm not feeling that great either.

Still anemia

I finally was able to get cheap protein.
Six star chocolate flavoured.
I'll try to work out and have my protein like before. I don't expect really good results. I barely have any energy to stay awake on the way to school and back.

Moods, moods.

Today I could barely wake up. I was supposed to wake up at 10. Keyword, supposed to.
It's strange how much moods affect a person's energy levels and food intake.
I was worried that I had gone through the entire day with only a small sandwich and food seemed to disgust me, about at 6 pm. So I forced myself to eat a protein bar (2.99. I'm surprised) and then when I got to this city I ate something small on the way home. I just had pizza with my brother.
Tomorrow I should feel a lot better.
Anemia is still a problem. I'm seeing a doctor tomorrow, and see what's happening with my body.

Anemia...

I'm pissed. I've been eating well, but I still feel weak. Weaker.
This is very upsetting.

Not having class on Saturday sucks.

And next Saturday I won't have it either. I'm working. However, to make up for it, there's class on Sunday. ContraMestre Lua should be teaching that class. I really hope I feel better by then. I feel really weak and really tired lately.

Today I ate a huge lunch. A burger. But not just a burger. It was THE burger. A giant thing on a plate with a bunch of fries. God, it was awesome.

This coming week I intend to go back to the gym. I really have to get back into running every day.

tadaa

There's no class tomorrow. I haven't worked out other than in class.
Today I hung out with Mel after school. I love seeing her and feeling her close to me.
After that, I said I'd walk to the train station, which I thought was close.
I ran. Ran like hell. In the cold. For about half an hour.
I guess my running counts as a type of work out. It feels good to be able to run when I need to.
And to run when I want to.
I'm tired now.

lol, lost motivation again.

Didn't do anything today, just work.
Don't remember what I ate, don't remember any physical activities.
Unless I find a good reason, I think this blog might be close to done.
No goals, no nothing. Not even class. I want to drop out again. I want to delete everyone from facebook. And forget about everything.

Sweet ass Jacket

Long day!

Today I woke up at 9 am and left my house at 9:40 to go to work. I worked 10-7pm, and then hung out with a friend of mine until 9. Then I went to class.
The work out was alright.
My legs hurt. I've stood from 10 until 7pm, and then I went to class.
Tabby wanted to join the class. I brought her in today. I don't think she'll be joining in.
She also asked me to help her be more active. That I can do. After all, I need it.

January 1st. New beginings. Again.

Today I ate well, I think. Healthy stuff. I'll start working out tons as soon as school starts. It's always good to be close to a gym. That way, things just work out: you're bored, your clothes are in your locker, and the gym is there.

Smart, funny, ugly, awkward.

Today I don't think I've over-eaten.
My breakfast was crackers with strawberry jelly and black tea. Lunch at work was a sandwich (ham, cheddar, lettuce, some sauce thingy, kinda salty) on white bread, a coke zero, and a muffin. After work I had a muffin, and just now I'm having dinner. Rice, some salad-like thinger with cut-up eggs, tuna, diced vegetables, and mustard. And water lots of it. And rice pudding.
I also worked out today. Well, not really worked out, but went to my class and tried my best.

Eh, bluenotes.

I went to bluenotes last night. They had shirts for dirt cheap and I thought I got one. ...sadly enough, in douchebag size, a large sized shirt is still too small for me. Such a piss off!
Well, it was just 2.50. I'm sure, worst case scenario, it can be a good undershirt or a good cleaning rag.

Hm, post food-poisoning.

According to somethign somebody said, I didn't get food poisoning. I got stomach flu. Regardless. I'm glad to be better.
Now, before I had that I was able to eat greasy stuff no problem. Today I went to have the classic breakfast (scrambled liquid eggs, bacon, home fries, and toast) and struggled with the eggs. What the hell, right? But I assume that it's just non-healthy shit that I kinda should avoid. I'm using the food poisoning after-effect to keep myself from eating stuff that my stomach wouldn't (or well, shouldn't, anyways) be able to eat. Before I was able to eat that no problem.
My breakfasts have also decreased. I used to eat a lot for breakfast, and now I'm down to crackers and tea. Whatever, works for me. I'll update after.

Today's cards!

Today's cards sound a bit better than yesterday's. Yesterday I got swords, right? Swords are always bad news. Inverted swords are usually worse news. Whenever a reading is really bad, I get scared and shuffle again.
Today's reading says:
In any given time, you can only control your possible options. Your own possible optinons, and from that only come your own possible outcomes. And through this, bad experiences may come (present). Life can be a bit rough. Well, it kinda is. But by enduring, you can work your judgement and your strength in general. The one card says I'm a passionate protector. Lol, cards.

I'm a lot better.

Last night was the first time after food poisoning that I ate something and felt good about it. I made me a bacon-lettuce-tomato sandwich. It was alright. I'm paranoid of anything that looks like bread, but I guess that'll go away with time.
I haven't worked out either. I haven't felt good and the weather really isn't appropiate.
However, this year is the first time that my weight doesn't shoot straight up after December.
My progress has kinda froze. But should be fine. As soon as school starts I think I have the first weeks to be able to work out at mohawk.

Shitty situation.

By shitty, I mean shitty. Food poisoning. Shit. Lots and lots of it. And puke. And stomach cramps. Man, today my stomach was fully empty. Anything I put in it, even liquids, would just go back up in a few minutes. It's terrible.
Needless to say, I didn't work out today.
Nor Yesterday.
Today's the first time ever that I feel like just crashing while standing and not getting up. But obviously, I hate the idea of me seeming so weak, so I just gathered energy (menergy, mind you) to just walk straight and make myself look awesome for when I went to the doctor.
Due to this looking good shit, the doc took long. I guess they treat you last if you don't seem like you're dying.
I still feel shitty. But the diarrhea and the puking are gone. Thank god for gravol. I hate puking.

Second cold run

Yesterday I didn't run. My lungs were hurting and I was scared that it was because of the cold air.
But no, it was from me taking kicks on the back instead of my arms like I should.
Today's run was nice. I changed my route to avoid icy spots and ended up running longer. I ran, got home, showered, and then hung out with the twins and Macaquinho.
Man, I missed that guy. He's sick.
The twins are awesome too.
Then, after that, I went to capoeira and did my usual class. After, I had dinner at Macaquinho's house.
Today there's an eclipse. I wish I could see it with Mel. I hope she's well.

First Cold Run

Last night was my last exam for the first semester. This means I got 3 weeks off. Yay!
No. Not weeks off. I work during those days. I work out during those days. No time off for me.
These 15 days are to fix the damage done to my body from less sleep than required, muffin-a-day diet, and other things that a full-time student is bound to.
Know what? It was kinda nice. By running out, I felt something I hadn't felt before: that of breaking a limit of mine. Running in the cold? Me? Back in Colombia this would be crazy.
I dressed in layers. I got some tight underpants and undershirt, and wore those under my old cammo pants. For my torso, I wore that undershirt (athletic works, kind of a nylon/spandex thinger), a nylon shirt to help release heat and sweat, and a sweater.
My music broke at the beginning, but it's alright. I could still endure the run.
This is possible. I thought it wasn't.
I thought I needed months of conditioning before running in the cold. Maybe I am already that conditioned, but what the heck. I'm happy. I have to make the most I can out of these 3 weeks.
It's the only time I'll get for myself.

I haven't kept up with the blog...

But I'm still trying.
School is taking most of my time. I had to drop capoeira for a few weeks. I'm working out every day again.
It's kinda disappointing that I wasn't able to do the batizado and get a new cord. This year I can truly say I was ready to be challenged for it. But oh well... maybe that's why I'm taking a break. But it's alright. I'm good with it.

I feel like it's been ages.

But it hasn't been over 3 weeks.
I haven't worked out other than in class. I feel like I've gained weight. But not the bad kind. However, I got to watch it.
I'm during a break from school. One week. I'm scared it isn't enough to catch up with all the stuff.
As soon as I'm back in school, I'm hitting the gym again.

I haven't worked out in 5 days. I just started feeling well 2 days ago. It's all good. I'll catch back up tomorrow.

shit, son!

Today's the first time that I feel overworked in ages. This morning I woke up at 6 to go to my class at 9. My breakfast was crackers and cheese. And a cup of tea. And another one that I chugged on the way to school. There I had my math class. At 10am, I got a coffee and worked on my CAD homework. Then I worked out. I did 30 minutes cardio. It was a pretty good run. I did mostly at 6 miles per hour. Pretty good for my usual speed. I did abs, I think I did chest as well. I forget.
Eitherway, I had my class as well. I'm really tired.

october 5th

Today I worked my back mostly.
I warmed up with 15 minutes of rowing. I felt too tired, so I didn't do the 30 minute cardio. Tomorrow I'll do it.
Then I did front rows at 50 lbs. Fast pull and slow release.
Then I went on the back extension thingy. 50 of them.
Then I did again front rows but at 100 lbs, 10 of them.
Then 30 more back extension thingies.
I also did 90 crunches, the crazy ones with different leg positions.
It was an okay workout.
Tomorrow I'll do the 30 minute cardio.
Damn, I feel so good

picture time i guess

Today I felt a bit of a confidence rush and thought I'd put a clear picture of what I look like.
I'm glad my manboobs are reducing in size. I also see my top four abs. But I still got a long way to go.
I think my arms are okay. I love that my shirts are tight at my biceps.
Tomorrow I should be working my back, if I can.
And I got homework to do.
Later!

heh, saturday

I didn't go to my class today. I woke up feeling like a shit that had been shat out over and over again.
This coming week I intend on working my back. I'll start on Tuesday though. I have to see Mel on Monday.

bah, edit.

I've been sick for a while. Today it really hit me again.
However, I worked out before I felt sick.
I did my half hour cardio, then i did dips, back crunches, and my 80 set of ab crunches. I think my back will be a lot stronger by Saturday.

Today it was a rather long day. I was done at 5pm and was short of money yesterday. So, yeah...
However, I realized that the difference between other attempts and this, is that whenever I don't feel like going to the gym to work out, I just shut up and go. Know why? Because I got nothing to lose. I got the world to win.

I'm beginning to like the rowing machine instead of just running. This works my back as I warm up. I kinda like it.
I did 10 minutes of rowing and 20 minutes of jogging on a threadmill.
Then I did my ab stuff, on whatchamagonnacallit, that you do dips on? Yeah, straight leg raises, then lift my knees as high as I can. Ten of each. Then I think I did push-ups. I'm not sure. I probably did.
I did abs though.
I just did 25 push-ups out of boredom.
Tomorrow I'll go at it again.

i wish i could tell you so many things

Today was a rather odd day.
I did 10 minutes cardio and then some weights at the school's actual gym, but then i found it rather boring. I went to the school's fitness center right after and did my usual workout on top of that.
I feel nice. I'm just too tired for anything.
Tomorrow I'm going at it again.

September 25th

I picked running every day back up. Half hour every day. Only thing that's different is that since I started school again, I haven't watched what I eat that much.

School!

A long time ago, I made a list of things I needed to achieve by the end of this summer.
All of them, except getting a drivers license were achieved. I'm proud.
I'm now a full-time student at Mohawk College. Mechanical Engineering Technology. I'm happy.
I hadn't worked out because of personal circumstances. No, not lazyness. Somebody close to me is going through hell, and I felt in need of stopping my workouts in order to support her. I'll risk it.
I am still watching what I eat. And I'm still trying to be active.
And, according to people, the results are noticeable.
I will try to keep this blog updated more often. It's been quite a while since my last post.
