White Noise In My Mind

-


I didn't exactly make good on my plans of posting more last week, I've been around but I've lost my  spark for writing at the moment. Usual changing the color scheme of the blog helps motivate me somehow, like shedding of skin. I've been experiencing some mild depression lately, and it was directly triggered by a doctors appointment I had earlier in the week, I haven't quite been right since. I believe it was Tuesday I had my appointment and I seen someone I had not seen since 2011 starring at, that's the only reason I even noticed them, they were an old friend of of my buddy Nick, but I never associated with them. The issue I have is I don't want to been seen by people who I haven't  seen in many years, before I've reached my goal weight, regardless of how irrelevant they are (and this guy was quite). I kind of went into some distorted thinking  again about my weight, because he was kind of scanning me or at least that's how it seemed to me.

I have growing anxiety about various things, sometimes I feel like I've woken up in the twilight zone in terms of how things are going politically, then I feel like there is just bad news everywhere and it's getting hard to shake this feeling I'm having that it's only going to get worse there is more bad news to come. Morale is poor it's like when trying to look at the bright side someone points out the grey cloud approaching on the other side of the sky. There is so much negativity and it's affecting me, I haven't been able to focus well and I've been inconsistent with my exercising, I took several days off last week, and have just really been having to force myself to do it.

SimplyFit Board

Eating has been fine, this seems to be the one area that is going perfect, I realize I have a weigh-in coming up next week and I'm eager-nervous about it, I'm hopefully for a solid loss. I've seen commercials for something called a SimplyFit Board it's some type of new age balance board. It was featured on Shark Tank (US equivalent of Dragons Den, entrepreneurs pitch their product before several  rich investors hoping to  get an investment in their product). It supporters up to 400lbs lbs and you like swivel on it and it helps you burn fat and build muscle. I think I really want this thing.

An interesting week ahead, aside from therapy I have one appointment but I really need to do a ton of lab stuff because I have a an appointment with my kidney specialist coming up on the 10th. Next Sunday is the Super Bowl and my friend is having his annual party. Last time I gained 10 lbs over that week, maybe I'll live blog it, or actually use that Instagram story video thing, I still feel really awkward about video though. Someone asked me on Instagram if I would consider doing you YouTube and I thought it was a little funny because I have done YouTube, but I've made no reference to it on Instagram (aside from that reply) and I haven't made any updates to my channel since I've had such significant weight loss.

My goal this week is to try to find the silver linings, seek the good, in spite of seemingly universal and overwhelming dejection

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.
