Welp... time to hit the ol' dusty trail!

So I did get my workout in and I was really happy with it. My 50m breaststroke is under a minute. I also swam 7x100 with 1 minute in between each! I was in the zone. I wasn;t sure if I would be able to get a full half mile in but I did! Now, the real test will be if I can get myself moving in the morning to get one more swim in before I leave in the afternoon. I don't know if I will write when I am out in LA but I will try my best to! nighters

98% urine

So, I was a touch behind schedule for gym time yesterday and was forced to be in the pool with roughly 2 billion kids, give or take a few. The entire time I kept thinking of the South Park episode of when they went to Pi Pi's waterpark. I does not help that it is the heated pool. Grossy gross!

Well yesterday was weigh in day and I am down another 5 pounds! Yay me! I am planning for a trip to LA which begins on Wed. Luckily there is a pool at the hotel. I can't wait to see the faces on those starved bitches as I enter the pool! hahahaha If I can make it through the week without gaining weight I will be thrilled. Its gonna be hard though because my friend Ed will murder me if I don't have an In-N-Out burger. SO that's like a days worth of calories right there. Well, I guess I should get to the gym so I can stock pile me calories. Yes I know I said me instead of my, but it sounded like a Dickensian orphan, so I am keeping it. Talk to you later, whoever you are.

Ah! So refreshed!

So I took saturday and sunday off from the gym. It feels like forever! I think that is a good thing! I am gonna stop with the exclmation points now. No one person is that excited about anything. I feel as if I am just now figuring out what I have been missing. I feel like I am at the entrance to something great and I like that feeling. Even though I am in a rough place, I can see that I am at least swimming towards the surface. It might not be visible yet, but I know that I am on the right path.

So I am putting together a bucket list. Things that I want to do when I lose all my weight. You would be surprised at how much you miss out on. But I am trying to figure out what to call it. I mean, a bucket list is things to do before you die, and this journey is about getting my life back. So I was thinking Fat + Bucket list = Fucket List. Thoughts?

Well I guess thats it for now. Till my next post here is an awesomely hilarious video. Yes she is a real person. Yes this is a real show. If you went to GMU with me then you know all about the JACKRABBIT!!!! Enjoy!

And.... I DID feel it in the morning!

I dragged myself out of bed, went to the gym for a "workout". I put workout in quotes because it was barely a workout. I would say it was just work, but that means something positive in the gay community. So lets just call it a wo. As in my body saying, "WHOA, BITCH! SLOW YOUR DAMN ROLL!" A wise man once told me that it all goes down hill at day five. Some of you will get that more than others. In any event, I am taking the weekend off. Hopefully, I will be rejuvinated by Monday.

In other wompwomp news... I can't go to my fraternity brothers wedding this weekend which sucks. Oh well... such is life. I have a wedding in LA next week though. WOOT!

So my funny of the day is something I posted all over my facebook page. But, in case it got lost in the shuffle here it is.



How To Find A Masculine Halloween Costume For Your Effeminate Son

GIIIIRRRRRLLLLL ... I am gonna feel that in the morning!

I really tried to max it out today. I did a brief arms and chest exercise. Which was fine. I then went on to swim a little more than half a mile. The last 100 meters was like torture! hooey! It was good though. I just know that my arms are gonna be PIIIISSSSEEEDDDD on Saturday. Well before I go into an ambien coma, I wanted to share this article with you guys. Its about the benifits of swimming.

Here it is.

Nighters

KDog

While you were sleeping?

The first thing a doctor says when you have insomnia is, "Exercise daily! Drink less caffeine!". I am doing both of those things. I cant sleep for shit! I was up till 3am. I was up several times during the night. However, I am trying to find the positives in everything so I guess it gave me time to find some interesting articles.

This one is from Daily K Os (get it?) about Jaun Williams who was fired from NPR for remarks he made about his fear of people wearing Muslim clothing on his airplane. What's racist about that? gross. Of course Palin, Mike Huckabee, and other chodes want NPR's funding stripped.

This one is from Towleroad.com which is my go to blog everyday. This is a brilliant article explaining the conundrum that President Obama is in with regards to DADT repeal. It explained a lot, although I still feel like he is skirting gay issues.

I know that my blog theme is all over the place but I am new at this so suck it! Well, off to the gym!

I am always the last to know!

So I was the last person to know I was gay ( late bloomer ) and I must be the last person to start watching The Event. Where have I been? This shiz is intense!

Aint that some shit...

So I was hating every second of every thought about going, but it was totally worth it. I swam 32 laps in 45 minutes. Thats 1/2 a mile! In swimming thats quite a distance. My goal is to get to 1 mile in 1 hour. Thats way far away. But progress is progress. BTW, did you wear purple today?

exasperation sounds, exasperation sounds

You know that sound that you make when you have something in the back of your throat and you are trying to hock it up. Its like a guttural, raspy sound. I am having trouble figuring out how to spell it. I know a scream is "AAAAHHHHH!". Confounded sounds like, "uuuhhhmm". But for all the onomatopoeic tea in China I can't figure out the spelling. My friends and I call it the "CB" for our friend Cindy B. who does it very well and very often. It's one of my favorite things about her. It's always well timed and flawlessly performed. We even turned it into a verb. Per example, "Did you just CB me?" Its understood.

The reason I bring this up? I am totally feeling that exasperated sound right now. It is all rainy and grossy gross outside because it is raining. ( exasperated sound ) I don't wanna go to the gym, hmph. SEE! I can spell that! Oh well. No one said it was gonna be easy but I have to go to the gym. Onward and upward! barf. In a related story, I hope homeboy finally put a towel on it. (see previous post ). By peeps!

yikes! ( or: If you like it then you shoulda put a towel on it!)

So I had a great workout. Swam a lot. Lifted some. blah blah blah. The interesting part of this is the fact that guys are so weird. There was this dude with a huge wang! Like distractingly so. I mean, I don't go on the hunt. I keep to myself in the locker room. But of course, its not that simple. He is so proud of it. Just chatty mcchatterson the chattiest dude in chat town, walking around being the social butterfly with ne'er piece of clothing. Not a stitch. Not even a fucking band-aid. Seriously homes, put a towel on.

In a related story, Tyra is doing a show on gay exorcisms. Patricia Mckinney is a prophet (self-proclaimed of course) who casts out the fabulousness. Expels fierceness. The best part is, she sounds like Mo'nique. Oh, the irony!

well hello there

Now that I actually have a follower, one to be exact, I guess I should entertain you while you wait for my next installment of my weight/job quagmire. That being the case, enjoy one of my favorite sites. www.regretsy.com . If you don't know what etsy.com is, go here first!

success

So I did end up weighing myself and I have lost 4 pounds in a week! yay for me! I have been tracking my calories and workouts with my ipod touch. It was nice to but in my new weight and see the chart go down. Altough I had to chuckle because after swimming for an hour, my first thing i did was smoke a cigarette. Lame. I will get around to it but I am smoking a lot less.

I need to find the right time to go to the gym because today I was there during the swim team practice. Holy Cacophony! It was so loud up in that bitch. It gets a bit distracting. But i pressed on and got through the workout. I need to start to have more of a structure of the workout. its time to fist this routine in the whatwhat and get this bitch rolling.

I think I am going to go back on the kidney shrinking diet. it worked really well last time. Staytuned and find out what other muscles are in pain tomorrow.
I have to go apply for jobs that hate me. Fun times! Is anyone else bored and fat and jobless. Speak to me. I might start postingstories I find interesting. Anything to keep you positive or make you laugh diet coke out of you mouth.

Good Lord Time Flies

It has been forever since I posted. I need to be more diligent about this. I need to keep myself accountable. The good news is that I have continued to work out. The Swimming continues to be a strong motivator. I have started doing weight training too. From what they say, muscle burns more fat so lets bring on the muscles! My time at the gym is now up to 1 1/2 hours. I even bought a pair of goggles which I promptly left behind on the first day and are now gone. Claassssssic Peg! (SNL reference). Anywho. So I have been trying to stay focused on the task at hand. I havent weighed my self in a while and I am kinda scared. I don't want it to be demotivating. We will see.

On the job front, I actually got an e-mail from a graphic design firm that liked my work which was exciting. They however, were not impressed with my lack of html and css knowledge. I did get CS3 design suite so I am futzing around with Dreamweaver and trying to learn more. I really like the whole graphic design arena and I feel that it is a good transition from my current job as a visual designer for marching bands. Other than that, there wasn't much going on in the job hunt world. Not a lot of jobs that I was interested in actually. I still have some money saved up so I am not broke just yet. Although, with two more weddings coming up, that will probably be zapped like whoa! Hire me!

Loooonnnggg weekend

So... I didnt write since thursday. Im a bad blogger. Whatevs. So I exercised again on friday which I was really happy with. I am continuing on my journey which I guess is all you can do when you are down and out. I was gone for the weekend and drank way to much. Not that I was wasted per se, but it is still empty calories. Thats a problem for me. But I went right back into the swing of things today and swam a lot more agressively and even did some sprints! I am starting to notice the endorphines hitting me at a certain point. I am actually a bit sore today which I like because I know that means I am pushing myself. I am looking forward to going tomorrow.

I applied to a few jobs today, I am sure I wont hear back though. That would be far to kind and appropriate. Thats all for know though.
