On The Right Track

-


My Fitness Pal said I should be taking in 3700 calories a day according to my weight and height. I tried taking that into consideration yesterday, however I consumed less than half that. I think I did okay overall. For breakfast I had a bowl of Fruity Cheerios, for lunch I had a bag of Quaker Popped sweet chili rice crisps, I later had another bag for a snack, and then for dinner I had baked orange roughy fish, green beans and coleslaw. All that came to a grand total of 1,245 calories, interestingly I went over my sodium limit. So that's something I need to keep an eye out on. In other news... I didn't do my mile yesterday, but will definitely do it today. I think yesterday went well.

I think I'm going to do some drawing today, during the early months of last year I did a lot of drawing and then it tapered off a bit. I think it went from fun to creative to abstract to really just representing my feelings. I'm no artist so none of it is great, but it's some I did and enjoyed todo, so below are some of last years work.

I draw everything on my iPad with an app called Paper By FiftyThree, using a stylus.




So there you have it, I really want to impress myself with today's drawing hopefully I'll have something cool to show you guys tomorrow.

As for today, doing my mile is my top priority, and of course eating right.

Someone Who Inspires Me a With There Bravery: My mom, our relationship has been strained over the years, but I do believe she is incredible strong for the things she has survived and endured. Sometimes I overlook these things and only look at the wrong, but there was a lot of right.

Some Who Inspires Me With There Talent: My oldest brother has the gift of art, he has always inspired me to draw, he is incredibly talented. I always thought he would end up being a famous cartoonist or create his own comics. A tattoo artist is more likely at this point, but even that is cool, and requires talent, which in art he has an abundance of.

A Work of Art or Music That Inspires Me: a few years ago when I started college, I discovered the music of Florence + The Machine, the album Lungs is very abstract and emotional and it just clicked with me like nothing had before. Songs like Falling, Drumming, My Boy Likes Coffins, Dog Days Are Over, and Cosmic Love made for a very powerful impact. I've been a fan ever since and just enjoy the creative that comes from the growing body of water.

A Place a That Inspires: New York, hope to go there someday.

One Relationship I've Been Working Hard On: The one with myself.

Progress To Date: It's an uphill battle

Looking Forward: I think I'll get there one day

3 People Who Keep Me Honest: My youngest nephew Kieryn, my oldest Nephew Fred, Myself

Smooth Sailing

The week seems to have just glided by, it's almost over. I've been sleeping well, this morning however I woke-up feeling kind of out of it.  A recent comment mentioned going down in shirt sizes, that's interesting because my therapist has been saying I should do this for weeks, new clothes, it's a touchy subject. I'm not quite sure there is enough of a difference to warrant me getting new lower sizes. As I told my therapist (whom thought I was being ridiculous) I've laid in these shirts in so many different ways and contorted them that it's really no telling if weight loss  has anything to with this appearance. So I really don't want to go down lower in sizes and be disappointed, and then wouldn't going down in size make me look bigger anyways? I know the logic in that last bit is odd , but it just came to me, I can't rationalize it, but it seems valid as if this sentence. Mentally I'm mostly stable, however that picture of me by the campe...

I Watched Some Picture Films

-
I always like when people refer to movies as "picture films." I actually watched some movies over the weekend several days in a row. I even watched one this morning called The Loft , yesterday I watched The Account with Ben Affleck (so good). Its been really nice getting caught up in movie worlds for a little bit of time again, especially the horror ones, I really love a good spooky film. I watched one called From The Dark that was really good and I actually have a few to watch tonight so that should be scary fun. I got some Canadian bacon because I was told this was better for me than regular bacon because its considered lean or whatever, I also got some peanut butter 2 that I'm planning on making on an Instagram story video thing maybe today, its basically this powdery peanut butter you add water to that turns into normal peanut butter that has less fat and calories than regular peanut butter, so if you're following me on Instagram be looking out for that. How ...

Boot Camp Week Day Five

The final day of boot camp week is upon us. Today the exercise goal is to complete the four mile challenge, which would give me a new miles per week peak. The food goal is simple once again, and the consistent goal of the week. Stay below 1,800 calories. I got news yesterday that my oldest nephew might be coming down for the weekend. That's pretty awesome news. His spring break starts today, but he'll only be here the weekend (versus the entire break previously), but   it wasn't set in stone so I'm not expecting anything.  He has been getting all A's in school this semester so far so I'm really proud of him. Today I'm getting blood work done, and will likely schedule  that follow up appointment.
