Banging Thursdays

Lately, i've been waking up unusually early, like around 10-11 ish. On a regular day, i usually wake up at 12 or sometimes 1. I don't know. I've kinda been excited to wake up lately. I guess i don't feel like wasting the remaining of my summer vacation in bed. Another unusual thing is that i am actually excited for school to start. I'm usually dreading the first day of school, but i feel different about it now. I feel passing that Mechanical class kind of gave me some energy or remotivated me to do well in school. It's kind of weird. I actually want to study and do homework and be a good student.
I worked out today. I think i like working out around 1-2pm because its not too early and its not too busy at the gym. I ran a mile in 8 minutes and some change. I jumped rope about 600 times. I did some ab workouts. I did the perfect pushup workout. It feels really good to get back into exercising. I know i've only worked out a couple of days but i felt more explosive and light when playing volleyball tonight. Maybe it's just in my head. A problem i'm having with this "getting back into shape" thing is the diet part. I don't know what to eat and i feel like i'm always hungry. I also feel tempted to eat really fatty foods, but i must resist. I have this cruise in february and i want to be looking good. That should be fun. Something to look forward to.

Tuesdays with Kris

I am bored here at home. I think i'll go workout. Man, i am so out of shape. I'll never let it get this bad again, unless, being fat suddenly becomes the "in" thing. Hmmm, what should i do today?? Run then lift or lift then run. I heard somewhere on the radio that it's better to do cardio before you lift because it improves your metabolism. I think i might do that. But i hate lifting weights all sweaty. Maybe i'll just bring an extra T-shirt or some towels to wipe me down. I'm trying to grow my hair and i'm already hating it. I can't wait to shave it off. Tine wants me to do something different with my hair, but i warned her that i don't look as sexy with long hair. haha. I think i'm going to track my weight and exercises on this blog. So... as of today, i weigh a whopping 228.6 lbs. Hmmm, the scale must be off or broken or something. haha. That's not ballin.

[228.6 lbs]
Today, I will attempt to...
-Run 1 mile
-Jump rope at least 400 times
-Perfect Push up workout
-Biceps

I think that's good enough for my first day. Going to 24. Will be back.

Behr Share stare with Zoe in the cage

So I recently scored this sweet laptop at $225 under its regular selling price at BB. For sure a "Slick Deal." Thank you slickdeals for the heads up. And, thank you Tine for coming along and being patient as I went on my laptop hunt. I think it's pretty cool, and i can't wait to start using it and all its capabilities. Although, it may be a little difficult just because I am not as Computer savvy as other people such as Kristine. I'm sure she'll help me out. One thing that's cool is the webcam chat. It's crazy how we've progressed technologically. But anyways,I successfully completed summer school 2 weeks ago. I was taking a mechanical engineering class that i have been having probelms with these past 2 quarters. On average at CPP, students take this class about 3-4 times. After my second midterm, i was worried of failing again which would lead to taking it again next quarter for my 3rd time. Hell no!! I was not going to take this stupid class again. So instead of studying for the final like i usually do, a night or two nights before, i started about a week early. I guess it paid off. I got a C+. This "studying way early before the exam" does work. I should consistently do that from now on. My old studying habits have surprisingly brought me this far, but classes are getting more difficult and more intense and i dont thing my old studying habits will help me progress further.
My close friend, Dirty, is going through some rough times right now. He has been at the hospital almost every day and occasionally spending the night. I don't pray much, but i did recently pray for him and his family because he's a good friend and a good guy and i really like his family and i hate to see people i care about sad and hurt.
Brennan, you can get any girl you want. I'm just upset with the "other person" and how she treated you. You deserve better and it will come. Don't stop being a nice guy like i had suggested. It's not that you're too nice to them, you've just had bad luck these past relationships. Man, you're almost finished with school and on your way to make big bucks. Lucky stupid shit. haha. Soon, they'll just fall on youre lap =).
Dj, thanks for helping me keep my head straight. When you talk about what you want and your work ethic, it just makes me want to work even harder.
And to YOU, we get into our little arguments, but i still love you. thanks for all you do. Whatever you want to be or do, i believe that you can do it. There's something special that you have in you that makes me envious. I rarely see it in people, and I'm glad you're on my side =).
