Weighing Your Pros and Cons

I was talking to my boy Colby Reese today at the YMCA about the obstacles our body types have to go through. I'm a big guy who has had to lose weight and also build muscle. In different ways it has been a fun journey and in others it obviously has not. Now for him, he's thin and it is hard for him to gain weight. I just want to say to those who don't have to work for their body I truly feel bad because you will always take for granted the gift you have had. But I can't be so tough on you because you can't help it. It is your genetics. But none the less I hate you. haha. I'm just playing. You fuel me.

Anyweigh... hahaha I'm lame. I am also gonna catch up on Biggest Loser. I've been so busy I didn't keep up. Oh well.

You know I've been thinking. I'm going to tell the truth.
Some of the main reasons why I lost weight.

1. I was afraid I was going to die from being overweight.
2. I thought losing weight was going help me get women deeper into that certain women.

Well let my tell you my friends and foes it doesn't work like that. I did get something better though and as poorly written and thought threw these next words are going to be I'm gonna say them. "I found myself." I'm a very passionate person when it comes to this health revolution. I want to help people be happy with themselves. I want people to feel what I feel. Breath that big gulp of fresh air. Run a mile as a warm up. go up stairs and not sweat. I'm honestly watching this episode of the Biggest Loser and its the "where are they now?" episode and it has brought me to tears. I was just talking about bringing someones life together and feeling what I feel and Sam (on the show *a past contestant*) just hit the spot where I feel. It's what I am feeling now. Though I am still going through my day to day life struggles it is the big picture I have my eyes on.

If you have time watch this episode; it's 2 hours but is real. These people are real. They feel what every big person feels. This is the change that we feel. It is a life style. it is true happiness.

It's not about money even though it is a game/reality show. It's not about that girl that never gave you a chance. cause face it if you were 300 lbs would you want to be with that person. Some people yes, but majority no. it's not healthy. Call me shallow. Call everyone else shallow but being overweight is depression. It's a dark life. It's lonely. It's a wall. It's a mindset. It's not right.

Anyway... Pros and Cons

Pros:
-A relationship with myself
-Confidence
-Happiness
-Passion
-Desire
-A close relationship with my brother

Cons:
-None

I have changed my life. I have started school full time and I am working to be a nutritionist/ personal trainer. I want to start my own fitness business and maybe a gym someday.

Well to take you into my day lest start with I was a lazy ass this morning. I skipped waking up to go shopping at 8 and slept till noon. Treat your body. sometimes ;)

So I woke up and felt over rested haha. That's what happens when you sleep too much and I think that is one of the big problems with people. Over sleeping or under sleeping. Find the right amount you need to function.

Breakfast:
another turkey breakfast burrito
ground turkey
3 large brown eggs
2 tortillas
1 Spike : D

I then headed straight to the gym. It's always tough to work out right when you wake up but it's even harder to not work out at all.

I did arms today:

warm up bar curls
3x12

warm up tri pull downs
3x12

Sitting Sit down curls
3x8

Standing over head Tris
3x8

Super Set
Bent Bar Curls
3x8
standing curls
3x8
(rotate)

Reverse Tri pull downs
3x10

4x4 curls
2sets 4x4 till burn out

Kick Backs
3x10

cable curls
3x10

cable Tri extensions
3x10

It wasn't a great work out but got the job done.

My mind state working out was positive. I'm looking good. I just need to lose more weight! I want it. Work i probably walk about 5-6 miles in 8 hours. So not bad.

Dinner i had left over Boston Market
green beans
corn
chicken
and cream spinach
all proportional

Now I bring to you my night snack
I had 2 PB and J's

not bad if you ask me. i'm working on it.
That's how it goes. You work on it.

Now it's 3 a.m. and I need to sleep. Let me send you off with this:

Say this out loud and to yourself... "I'm worth it."

Common Girls! Get IT! lmao!
