Well I fell off the wagon with last week. It should have been easier with no classes, but I didn't really feel all that relaxed at all... I did get to read a lot though.
I worked out a few times, started to increase the intensity of the work out, still lifting weights regularly.
Eating goes up & down. However I have been very good about not eating chocolate covered pretzels :)
OK... enough stalling... the weigh in.
Today I weigh... 188.8 Lbs
Well at least I'm not gaining right?
And if I'm building muscle that adds a little weight right?
Focus James. Focus.
Hope everything is going well with you!

Friday Post WOOT!
Well, this week was stressful. I have a slew of teachers who give us a sylabus with all the assignments on it at the beginning of the semester and don't remind us of assignments. Unfortunately I forget, and don't look at the sylabi and in turn don't do the work! Its piling up and I feel like I took on more than I should have (class wise.) I keep telling myself it will pay off, but in the meantime I feel like no break is sufficient.
In other news, I have been reading and practicing a lot more steadily. I think I use both to justify not doing other type of work. It was interesting, in my Orchestral Management class (this class is not a stresser) we were asked to list things we enjoyed doing and at the very top of my list I put reading! I used to HATE, DETEST, ABHOR reading and now its the first things that comes to my mind! Crazy world. I still hate asparagus and brussell sprouts.
I also have recently written two short stories. One that might remind a reader of the movie The Waitress (and I'll admit the main character in my mind was the main character in The Waitress,) but all in all it is a different story I hope. The other... well its a little darker, a cynical, almost pessimistic view on some of society... I think... I will probably post them onto my poetry/prose site: amante.deviantart.com if you are interested in reading them or any of my other writing.
As for exercise and diet, well its a crap shoot, really. When I decide to exercise I do. If there is anything else at hand, I don't. I have uped the poundage on the weights and hope to see some growth in strength. As for diet, I have not failed on my anti-chocolate pretzels, although me and the lady took a late night trip to Baskin Robbins, and that was anti-loose weight if there ever was such a thing.
The lady is wonderful as always, and just about the only thing that keeps me motivated.
On that note, I will end with a quote that I have put out in the lounge from a source I just discovered, which is wikipedia's quote(s) of the day. This quote was Feb. 6th's I believe and its by the great Babe Ruth, "Its hard to beat a person who never gives up."
Thanks Babe, but what if the person beats themselves?

4th Weigh in!
Ok, I weighed myself at noon, wrote it down, but didn't have time to write about it at the time. So I am posting now!
Official weigh in...>>>> 186.0!!!
I saw my sister on sunday and one of the first thing she says to me is, "You've lost some weight."
:) Coming from her that means something.
As far as eating habits, I haven't been eating a lot, but I also haven't been particularly picky about what I've been eating. I fight this temptation in the cafeteria: chocolate covered pretzels! SO I am giving them up for lent.
I had one really good work out this week, I need to get myself to do that atleast 3 times a week though. Its really hard to accomplish everything I want to do though. I get on these motivated boosts but only about one thing at a time. Recently its been dropping working out and homework.
I have used the elevator very little :) and Lindsay and I took a lovely walk to hopkins today to enjoy the nice weather. Speaking of Lindsay, we are doing wonderfully and I couldn't ask for a more supportful partner.
Ok I hope all is well for everyone else. I WILL POST ON FRIDAY!
I WILL!
Love and laughter
