Open Wide Lament

Okay, so here's a brief intro.

Today's weigh-in looks like:


Food at the moment looks like:

(I ate more than this, but these are the last items I've eaten that appear on the screen shot. The POINTS(c) are correct) [tangent: version 2.2 of the iPhone firmware totally killed the kick-ass WW application that Park East had to pull. I downloaded iLog It [iTunes] and it's almost just as sweet]

I didn't exercise today, although I logged three points for two hours worth of shopping/standing-in-line-at-little-Tijuana-also-known-as-Wal-Mart-and-Costco.

Right now, I'm in an okay place. [Tangent:]I'm one frenetic motherfucker, which is why I prefer drinking over smoking. Drinking brings me down. I'm high strung and weed, for whatever reason, always fucks up my head and I always feel like I have lost control with being high on top of me being high strung.

Anyways, I'm in an okay place but I am worried. This stupid grad school application... I'm almost done with it... probably putting in 8 more hours of work and I'm done. For better or for worse, this is going to fuck up my life for the next few years. For better, if I get in it's an opportunity for me to grow in my career and eventually settle for the pay that I want and deserve. For worse, I'm putting all my eggs in one basket and if I don't get in, it's going to mess with me. One good thing about getting rejected will be that I have other schools to consider next year.

A few months back, I applied for this position and I totally got railroaded and feel as if I was not being giving a fair opportunity to be considered for the job. I took that rejection pretty hard and I really don't want to be feeling like that if I get a negative response from applying. 

I'm worried about moving in with my girlfriend. It's going to happen this year. The last time I moved in with a girl I loved, it did not go well. Not. One. Bit. (Thank you, Joker). So anyways, what better way to solidify this whole "Marriage Trial Run" thing than to do it in the midst of an intensive graduate school program. I mention that wretched M-word because I see a future with my girl.

Anyways, that's one of many things on my mind. How this relates to this blog is because I'm lightly stressed. Thankfully, I'm not stress eating, which is surprising. I'm gonna go get a starbucks before they close to perk up... yeah, that sounds about right.

Rejuvination

Today is the day I restart everything... again... for (it seems like) the 10th time since I went astray.

But it's okay.

Yesterday, I was checking out this 99 cent app for my iPhone called WeightBot [iTunes] and I decided to play around with it.

In my complacency of checking my weight every day or so, somehow it all went by the wayside. So when I got on the scale, this is the number that I saw:


Today's "weigh in" was a pound less, but still... I'm not freaking out but I am determined to do something about it. [Editor's note: This is not a New Year's resolution... I hate being cliche. ]

So thankfully, I have some Smartones and frozen vegetables in the freezer and nothing too sabotage-y in my fridge right now. Today, Friday, I am going to start counting my POINTS(c) again. I need to get down to 3 hundo because this is fucking lame.

On the positive side, I haven't drank beer in a while, although I got all kinds of crunk for New Year's Eve... So yeah, eating and exercising... we'll see how it goes. So long as I get my eating down, I'll be okay. I am not going to go apeshit and go all out on the exercising - I know it'll burn me out.

I just gotta decide what my first meal is going to be.
