Hello everyone. Sorry
there was no post last week. I am
completely swamped with work and school.
This post will be mostly a recap of the things that have happened in the
past couple weeks. I won’t weigh
officially until October 1st but I had to weigh for an insurance
screening at work and I was up several pounds.
I’m exercising like crazy. I’ve
got an A+ 100% average as far as exercise goes and I have had that average for
a long time now. As I’ve stated before,
my problem is food. Since Monday, the 9th,
I’ve been at about a D average as far as calorie intake. That’s terrible. I have to do better than that. I’m so tired and frustrated all of the time
and I’m turning to food on the weekends.
I am doing well today and I’ll face many challenges this week/weekend. The biggest challenge will be my first
football game on Saturday. What’s
frustrating is the rate at which I can gain weight. It’s just ridiculous. I honestly feel a bit overwhelmed with stress
and the added frustration of gaining weight is a bit much for me to handle
right now. I’m trying to maintain a
balance. I feel like I will struggle for
this for a while so that’s what I’m dealing with. It’s tough, y’all. I won’t lie.
I’m not giving up though.
I don’t have a recipe this week but I wanted to share some
photographs that I’ve been taking while on my morning runs in the cemetery near
my apartment. I don’t get a whole lot of
time to myself. That’s fine because that’s
the life I choose. I like to stay
busy. However, it’s important to have
some alone time to gather your thoughts and take a deep breath. I have been immensely enjoying my runs in
the mornings because the weather is cool, the sunrise is stunning and I can
clear my head. It’s not easy to force myself to get up but
once I do, it’s meditative and almost spiritual and I desperately need
this. I encourage all of you to take
time for yourselves without anyone there or anything that can cause a
distraction.
I’ve been going and going for a few weeks with little
indication that I will slow down any time soon.
The above picture/link is to the Mumford & Sons concert I went to in
Birmingham. They were awesome.
I was also able to see Fun in Tuscaloosa last week. They were also great.
Lastly, my brother, Cassandra and I went to Atlanta for
Music Midtown. We got to see Journey,
the Red Hot Chlii Peppers, Imagine Dragons and others. It rained for hours on Saturday so it was a
muddy mess. It was quite an
experience. There were some miserable
moments but for the most part, it was fun and I’m glad I got to spend the
weekend with my brother.
I also hung out at my friend’s brewery. It’s a place called Druid City Brewing
Company and if you’re ever in Tuscaloosa and you like beer, please consider
stopping by.
Lastly, my parent’s dog, Greyson likes to pretend she’s a
lap dog. Clearly, she is not.
That’s all folks.
Pray that I can get my act together!
Roll Tide!
Bye!
“And I never thought that I’d be in these places on this day
And now I don’t know how much more that I can take
I’m breaking at the cracks
And everything goes black
It’s another heart attack
And I can’t handle that…” Breakin’ At The Cracks – Colbie Caillat
