Crepe burp

I ate nutella whipcream crepe one hour before exercising. I felt kind of nauseous but when breathing hard, it tasted like crepes. TOTALLY AWESOME.

Sleep is the most important component of exercise

After much experimenting, varying diets, time lag between eating and exercise, sleep schedules, number of hours, naps, etc.... I have concluded that the MOST important part of being able to have a good workout IS....

SLEEP.

Without proper sleep it is VERY difficult to exercise.

Confessions of a dangerous taco

I am addicted to tacos. I ate it for dinner AGAIN. Seven tacos. I still went to the gym. I still felt like puking after weight training and could NOT do cardio. I am addicted to tacos.

this is the twelve steps for alcoholics anonymous. I've replaced the word "alcohol" with "tacos"

1. We admitted we were powerless over tacos—that our lives had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His Will for us and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to taco addicts, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

on a separate note, there was a guy at the gym who kept lifting his shirt up in front of the mirror to check out his own abs.
an old indian dude was standing in front of the mirror doing upper cuts. FUCKING COOL.

fell off

It's been a week and I'm trying to get back on the weightloss wagon. as HARDCORE as i once was. this is proving to be rather difficult. I'm back up to 199 from a low of 189. I am blaming the tacos, but I should be blaming the taco eater.

tacos can weight. weightloss now!

the challenge now is to get back on the bandwagon. I will take advice from the old me and bring back a brand new "No list" a do-not-fucking-eat list. on it so far is tacos. no more tacos.

Drunken Taco Puke

I've been eating tacos and more tacos. I only ran three miles one day this past week. I gained 10 pounds.

Today I had five tacos for lunch and seven tacos for dinner. Typical taco experiment week. But this time, I went to the gym. I feel so nauseous I want to puke. I'm breathing out taco fumes. FUCKING TACO FUMES from three hours ago.

This is the same as being DRUNK. I can't walk straight, I couldn't even jog at all. my breath smells like tacos and I want to puke but can't. I am drunk on tacos. don't taco and exercise folks.

oh yeah, and i only slept for four a half hours last night. that might be contributing.

food money and dates

My date last thursday, we'll call her "free-sushi girl", orders a bunch of beer, including one for the chef, sake, and sushi. The bill came and she didn't even look at it, no flinching, nothing. This was a girl that's done it before. Checks are not a reality for her. It's like the toothfairy, it may not exist, but it leaves some money behind. I paid. it was $90. This has nothing to do with losing weight, but having shopped at supermarkets during this weight lost endeavour, ninety bucks can get you a month's worth of fruits! exotic fruits. not like grapes.
