After dealing with an Upper Respiratory Infection, I am back on the move. On this morning, I was able to walk the 1 mile trail at a local park, and I feel so good. I can't wait to hit the gym at 6am 4 days a week...

Moving Forward

8am - Breakfast: Hasbrowns, Eggs with Cheese, Sour Cream & Salsa, 1 tortilla shell

4pm - Lunch: 3 Slices of Little Caesar's Pizza

Consumed 62 ounces of Water with Lemon.

Today, I acted like a stone nutcase, and it was my own fault. I reacted to seeing some asshole customer who decided to bring his ignorant self into my place of business, and all I wanted to do was just run and frickin hide. I made the huge mistake of venting my frustrations to his female relative, during which I utilized the tasteful words of pissed & bitch (describing myself). I was quite incensed, and should have just walked away. Whenever I do something incredibly foolish like that, I am faced with the dilemma of making it right by apologizing. The wonderful thing about it is that the two ladies were talking about me/my behaviour, and probably stated that it was a spirit. Either way, I apologized and felt like an idiot. On this morning, before all of the chicanery occurred, I wondered why I was up at 2:45am praying, now I know. Here's the thing that's got me perplexed, why do some people feel the need to spread their misery around and mess with other people? Working in Customer Service I can't retaliate against those who bite me. I want to, believe me I do, but I can't. When will those who come against me, apologize for hurting me? It's days like this that I want to just quit my job and just go to school full time, or better yet, find a better opportunity.

Fluid ounces of H2O Orange consumed by 6pm - 64 oz. Today was an interesting day. I woke up this morning, got on the scale & saw that it read 246.7, but then after I performed my morning elimination (ahem!), I saw that the numbers were 240. I don't know if the scale is off or what, all I do know is that I was happy with a 1 pound weight loss, and afterwards seeing 240 made me really ecstatic. After I attended a funeral on today, and had an opportunity to talk with a fellow church member about some stuff, I feel a little tired, but not too tired. Looking forward to starting tomorrow off right, and losing more weight.

Over the course of 6 months, I've gained 15 fucking pounds... But, I'm getting off my pity party bus, and back on track...

What the &^%*! did I just eat?

After receiving an uncomfortable chiding message via text on last night, I was feeling really funky... Felt the need to self-protect & put up a buffer between myself and some people. I've asked God to help me not be hurt so easily and not to be bitter & offended, because overall, it's more trouble than it's worth to carry a grudge... Too much negativity involved with that kind of drama...

Ok, so here's what I ate on today:

  *After arriving at a feeling of fullness, I stopped at the halfway mark for the meal...

Ok, so therefore the estimated # of calories for this meal would be: 1024 calories

 And just think, this was one of the smaller meals!!!!

My overall intake for today? : Roughly 1112 calories...

I'm so glad that I'm at the point in my life where I can admit that I'm feeling angry, sad, hurt, offended, etc  about stuff... It's better that I talk it out instead of literally attempting to eat away the pain.
