I know my role in life is to make others happy and laugh. It is a role that I freely accept, and thoroughly enjoy. Not much gets to me. And if it does it is really for a short period of time. But today I am having issues.<br /><br />Every Friday night I am drained from a hard week of teaching, night class, working out, and Xander (We're so close now). I try not to let it all get to me, but I am bothered most Saturdays. I CAN'T SLEEP ON FRIDAY NIGHTS!!! I have no idea why...some even suggest maybe I'm over exhausted. Well if I am I do not realize it. But on Saturday I really hate myself. EVERYTHING gets on my nerves. EVERYTHING.<br /><br />I'm sure no one realizes how hard I try to hold it together, but I try really hard. I can't figure it out, but I know one thing...it really effects my mindset for working out. Right now I should want to go the gym. But I just finished vacuuming, cleaning, taking out garbage, and in a few minutes my father-in-law (Thank GOD for him!!!) is coming over to help me hang a ceiling fan in my bedroom. Who in their right mind does all of these chores instead of going to the gym?<br /><br />ANSWER: Most people. Me included until January 1st. Most people will do ANYTHING to put off going to the gym. But not me...not now. I just have to realize that life is hard for everyone. Not just me. Poor Steve. I'm being a pompous ass!! I'm sorry. Especially to those I love, Especially to Dawn and Xander. Expect a mood change next Saturday morning.<br /><br />PS...I'm drinking NyQuil on Friday nights from now on.<br /><br /><strong>I WILL LOSE THIS WEIGHT!!!</strong><br /><br />Cheers!!!<br /><br />Steve<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5366634938643576730-7805937361755694022?l=stevesweightlossjourney.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Stevehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15301507008382296041noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5366634938643576730.post-26138518635503844982009-04-09T18:21:00.000-07:002009-04-09T18:24:48.226-07:00I DID IT!!! There were many times that I didn't think I could do it....but I've done it. <strong>I lost 4.6 pounds this week</strong>, and I have officially hit the 50 pound mark. I am so proud of myself.<br /><br />It feels great to be able to reach a goal that you set. I wanted to lose 50 pounds by the time Carter got here, and I beat him to the punch by four weeks. While sitting at the meeting tonight I started to think about what the next goal would be. I wanted the goal to be attainable, but not easy.<br /><br /><strong>I will lose another 50 pounds by the time I step foot on Hilton Head Island on August 1st!!!!</strong> That will be 100 pounds lost, and I MIGHT (big MIGHT) take my shirt off on the beach. This has always been an issue for me. Even in college.<br /><br />I had such a nice time at my WW meeting tonight because there were so many successes. Congratulations to all of those that have continued to succeed towards their goals. It is a pleasure being in the meetings with you.<br /><br /><strong>I WILL LOSE THE WEIGHT!!!</strong><br /><br />Cheers!!!<br /><br />Steve<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5366634938643576730-2613851863550384498?l=stevesweightlossjourney.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Stevehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15301507008382296041noreply@blogger.com2
