(no subject)
I don't update this nearly enough. I'll try to get on that. Anyway.
So it's May 18th. Basically a month and a half since I last left Ithaca. Prior to the visit in the middle of March, I started counting calories - recording them in a book - and I was really, really good about it. I felt a lot healthier and much more efficient when I kept track of what I was eating and making sure it was under 2000 calories a day. The visit came and went, as did the next visit the last weekend of March/first weekend of April. Both visits I indulged myself in Wings Over Ithaca, which would surely be the death of me if I ever lived near to one.
Ever since I've been back, it's like, to hell with my health. I've been to the gym once. I haven't written down a single thing I've eaten, and gotten take out a large majority of the time. I've bought something once a day to eat, whether it be from Starbucks, 7-11, Walgreens, Fresh Choice/Nabo's, Peking Chinese Food, or Pie Hole Pizza. The latter of the two know my order by name, which is pretty sad considering how common "Chris" is. Anyway, I've just been so busy and stressed with everything going on with school that the furthest thing from my mind has been health. Do I care how I look still? Yes, but I'm not as aware of it. And to be honest, it feels REALLY GOOD. I think it rubbeed off after my last Ithaca visit. I still feel that I should be healthier and working out and everything, but it was nice just to go back to being an idle slob for a good month and a half. It felt good not to give two shits about anything like that, or worry about how many calories it had, and despite pudging up slightly, I was still really happy with things.
As I said, I have pudged up a little bit - not much, and nobody else seems to notice, but I think it's time to get back on track. I do have some stressful stuff with school wrapping up (my last class/final is June 2nd), but I think I can manage to at the very least watch my caloric intake, which really isn't that hard. I doubt I'll have much time to go to the gym beforehand, but I'm planning on hitting that pretty hard this summer. Even though I'm happy not caring, I know that in the long run it'll benefit me mentally to get in the swing of things, establish a solid routine over the summer, and then when school starts up in the fall, I can work my classes into my routine instead of vice versa and it will be easier to maintain consistency. Plus! Everyone knows that I'm a sucker for summer make-overs.. haha. Last summer I got work done, the summer before that I lost weight, so hey, can't break tradition.
So, tomorrow starts the recording of calories again, and I'm cool with it. I've got a ton of stuff going on right now, but much more than I plan on dealing with right now. Maybe later.
As Rosie O'Donnell so eloquently said in her bound-to-be-Emmy role as a tone-deficient retard, "Well you'll have to excoose me because I haf to use the bathroom!"
