31 Days Project – Day 4

December 5th, 2009 5 comments

I’m starting to notice that in the morning I’ll have a very high amount of energy because I now can motivate myself with ease to go to the gym and do other things, but when the day starts winding down, I’ll have a very low amount of energy, and just start to become grouchy, and sometimes it’s accompanied by some stomach pains. I usually drink about 3 – 4 glasses of water and the pains will go away, but to keep the grouchiness in check, I just really have to watch my emotions.

I haven’t noticed any other changes.

Today I made a xbox live account and my gamertag is TheSamoanNinja, haha. So, I’ll be on Modern Warfare 2 pretty soon. Oh, and I jokingly came up with a clan name and it’s starting to stick, it’s called The UCEstapo. Get it?

I got two awesome articles in the works right now for My 2 Cents. I’m not going to say what they’re about but just keep checking back cause I know they’ll be an enjoyable read.

Here are your pictures for the 31 days project:

31 Days Project – Day 3

December 4th, 2009 No comments

My dreams are becoming more vivid, more real-like, and more about food :) .

Seriously, my first dream I was somewhere in the Bay Area walking up a steep ass street and came across someones house. I don’t know who owns it but I walk in and the only way to get around inside is to climb through those tube tunnels like at Chuck-E-Cheese. Anyways, as I make my way outside of the house there’s a family relative (I forgot who), gives me a giant almond. It’s so big that I need two hands to carry it and it’s in the shape of a spade (playing card suit). I take a bite, and wake up.

In my other dream I’m at a tailgate party with almost all of my family. There’s a lot of us and we’re taking up most of the grass area. We have 4 huge yellow tents set up, and inside of them are tables and on top of the tables are the food that’s cooked in those deep aluminum pans. Anyways, a gust of wind came by and picked up the tents and blew them somewhere far away, and only the table and food was exposed. It was then everyone said they might as well start eating, and I opened one foil pan and inside was an awesome mix of nachos with different cheeses, shredded beef, chicken, sour cream, guacamole, and other things. I made one plate of the nachos and another full of everything else that was made, then sat down and started to demolish the nachos. As soon as I woke up, I thought for reals that I broke my fast cause I ate the nachos and I had to convince myself it was a dream.

I also have another dream but it involves me not finding my camera. It’s a totally weird dream by different far away places being tied together like they’re right next to each other. It starts off that I’m in the Bay Area at the Church Hall, there are a bunch of parties going on, all in the halls, in the parking lot, in the church, in the streets, and even at the all the neighbors houses. I’m talking to Shooter and J-Miah and I realize that I can’t find my camera. We start looking for it and can’t find it at the Church Hall, so I say to them keep looking for it there while I backtrack to the other places Ive been, so I hop on a bus, and get off like a block later and I’m at the UNLV stadium, I’m searching for it there and no luck, so I enter one of the employee only area and somehow I’m back at the Sears garage I used to work for. Then when walking through my old boss tells me to stop messing around and get to work, but I tell him that I lost my camera, he doesn’t care and says there’s a bunch of cars in line waiting for be worked on. So in my dream since there’s no convincing my boss about finding my camera (and the logic of I don’t work their any more), I go to the locker room and change out into my Sears uniform, and meet up with the rest of my co-workers and start working on cars, as soon as I finish with my second car, I tell like 2 of my co-workers to cover for me cause I’m looking for my camera, I then clock out for lunch and leave on another bus, and now I’m in a house. I think I start dreaming that I’m in Samoa, I meet a girl, and we start doin the mess around, and then she starts crying and completely ignores me, I don’t know why, and then someone says that I’ve been playing around with her emotions and that I’m not for reals about being with her. At this point I don’t care, I leave and don’t talk to her again, and then I exit the house and wake up. I guess I don’t find my camera.

Aside from the dreams, I’m not drooling as much (Eww, I know). My energy level has been okay and stable, nothing jumping up or sliding down, which is good. The appetite is still there and the dreams aren’t helping, lol. I know they’ll fade away in the next upcoming days so that’s good. Ha, actually when I started fasting my dad offered to go to Buffet At Asia, and that kind of got me mad, but I told myself no, and I’m going to see this through until I hit my goal weight. Oh, and I think my body is done with burning all the carbs cause my I’m starting to taste “metal”.

I’d like to check out this lady’s youtube channel. She has completed a 40 days fast, three times! Daayum! I didn’t go through all of her videos just day 1 and her day 40 of her 1st fast and she started at 200lbs, and then weighed in at 150lbs. That’s amazing, 50 pounds in 40 days or a little over one month. I think I found a new inspiration.

Oh and I forgot to tell you my starting weight and it’s at 336, and I weighed myself today and came in at 330. Also, I’m sorry for no pictures for this post. No excuses. Next post there will be pictures for reals.

31 Days Project – Day 2

Did anybody catch Glee?

-Spoiler Alert-

I was thinking that they would expose Terri’s fake pregnancy for the season finale or do it early/middle of season 2. Well, close enough, I mean the season is wrapping up in the next episode, and we’ll have to wait for rest of the dominoes to fall next season, such as the dilemma between Finn, Quinn, Puck, and the baby.

The confrontation scene between Will and Terri was moving. I was wondering  how Will would react and how emotional he would get when he found out this wife wasn’t pregnant, and when it happened last night, everything played out just right. So is this where everything starts to fall into it’s correct place? Are the mismatched couples soon to be corrected? If so, what other pitfalls can take place in the world of Glee because as I see it this is already dramatic enough, what else could top this storyline?

Well, enough about Glee.

I have another important announcement to make. I’m currently fasting. I decided that since I’ll be updating everyday that I might as well start fasting and start updating my health status everyday as well. I’ll be telling you how I’m feeling, my energy levels, and anything else that may occur during this fast.

I’m thinking I might end the fast when the 31 days project end, or I might extend it until I start feeling hungry again. I know the science behind fasting and losing weight, that’s why I’m doing it. Anyways, here are the pictures that I took.

31 Days Project – Day 1

December 2nd, 2009 No comments

Ugh, I’m now on a abnormal sleeping schedule. I woke up too early, which led me to sleeping too early, and now I’m going to be doing the nocturnal thing again, until I can get my hours straight.

But anyways, as promised, here’s what I did today, even though I managed to sleep through most of it.

First off, I woke up around 3AM and started to watch TV. Then time flew by and I noticed my parents not getting up and ready for work which was about 8AM. As soon as my dad came downstairs I was wondering what was going on and found out that my dad doesn’t have work this week, and that my mom is skipping work for an eye-appointment.

After hearing that I randomly got the idea of going walking. Which I did and got 2 laps in around the block (About 1 mile). Afterwards, I decided to tag along my parents while they ran around town. We hit the eye-appointment, McDonalds, and acouple of other places. When we hit McDonalds, I got pretty sick, and just wanted to go home.

As soon as we got home, I fell asleep. Now it’s barely wednesday, and here I am uploading everything. There’s not a lot of pictures because as soon as I felt sick, I stopped, and just wanted to rest. I feel better now, and yeah it’s only day 1, many many many more pictures are to come.
