Taking It Easy

-


I woke up earlier thinking it was trash day, I was wrong. I noticed how I have some lingering back pain, in my lower back. I was noticing yesterday as I stood how my back just started to feel more and more strained. My knees are also hurting and are stiff, I'm worried about my left knee, because its becoming clear the longer I'm on it the more problems I have with it. When I was walking to break yesterday I could barely lift it. Tomorrow is starting to feel really scary again, because I know I'm going to have to deal with three issues, my feet, my knees, my back. I was actually surprised this morning to discover just how swore my feet were, because when I initially got home last night they didn't feel so bad. I am not off again until Sunday. A 4 hour shift, then an 8 hour shift, then another 4 hour shift. I'm going to try to enjoy this day off though.




I was thinking the other day how much I miss not restricting my food. Yesterday at work in the break room, I kept seeing delicious pizza commercials, oh how I love pizza. I was thinking how great it would be to order a pizza with triple cheese, sausage, bacon, and pepperoni. A good greasy, calorie overdosed pizza. I miss not being so conscious. I also watched as everyone in the break room ate all kinds of fast food, Arbys, Steak N Shake, Olive Garden, and meals from our own deli. A lady actually offered me a piece of chicken from her chicken meal, and it looked soooooo good, but I turned it down, it was clearly breaded and deep fried, it would not have killed me, but In my head I was thinking it was too much.

Sweets, I love sweets, and no I was never the guy who could be fine with a piece of hard candy, no I had to have the good stuff, the gooey, the chocolates, the filled creams. I love love love donuts, in town we have a local bakery that makes the best donuts in the WOLRD, and what did I see in the kitchen several days ago? A bag of their donuts! I was so depressed, I wanted one so bad, but didn't give in, and just yesterday I had a major sweet tooth, and mom offered me her last donut, but I declined and settled for a very boring, and basic peanut butter sandwich (sigh).

I guess what I'm saying is I miss my food freedom, last year my buddies would go to fast few places several times a week, and Id tag along, they always foot the bill so I never had to worry about paying. We loved buffets, and we frequently drove out of town to eat places we didn't have here. And when Sonic had their half-priced milkshakes after 7PM, it was pretty much an every day thing. I know now that, that lifestyle was toxic, heck, I even knew then, but it didn't matter to me. Eating was the thing I looked forward to most everyday, it was my comfort, and my way of coping.

I wouldn't want to go back to eating like that, but I envy those around me not on a journey and eating whatever they want, whenever they want. Last night for dinner I had baked fish, broccoli, and brown rice. It was beautiful in how healthy and nutritious it was (and quite delicious), but ugly in how boring it was.

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.
