Football Day!

I started this morning by getting up and getting to the gym. I felt enormous today, like I'm gaining some thickness and muscle maturity. I went for a walk with cousin Alicia today and had some good social and political conversations. Today I'm watching both football games. I think the last few years have been less enjoyable because my dedication as a sports fan has fallen. To enjoy life I need enough time to watch all the sports, political news, and famous trials as I possibly can.

Powerade zero is really helping me keep myself hydrated.

Foods I wish I was eating: cupcakes, peanut butter cookies, turkey stuffing, and PIZZA.

Nott Exactly How I Planned It

So I'm at the Las Vegas Airport waiting for my 7am flight back to Seattle. My car has some fairly major repair work that needs to get done and rather than spend a week in Las Vegas, I am going to fly home until it's ready. It sucks because SoCalBodyFat has some work to be done but I can do a lot from hoome.

I haven't ventured from my diet at all since Jan 2nd and today I'm missing out on my favorite place to eat in an airport. Breakfast burritos at the LV airport are the bomb! I do feel like my body is deflating a little bit due to the lack of carbohydrates so I am going to reload in the next couple of days but it'll be healthy. Nervous to check my weight when I get home. Last thursday I was 205.5. I'm confident I haven't lost any muscle so the less it is the better I guess. Still, something about seeing myself under 200 pounds makes me uneasy. For the competition though I am going to have to weigh around 185 so I better get used to it if I'm really going to do it!

My First Post

And my launch to internet fame has started. I am in Las Vegas staying at the Palace Station hotel. It's not exactly the fanciest hotel ever but this trip was meant to be low key and actually the room is quite nice. In Tustin we don't have TV (anyone who has known me for any period of time would know how difficult this is for me!) so I've just been enjoying being able to watch Nancy Grace on TV.

Tomorrow will be more attempts at booking gyms and therefore creating an even more hectic schedule than I currently have. Anyway I want to keep my first post very light but look forward to ranting and raving in this space in the future.
