Day 154 and 155

So mother nature picked a fine time for me to hit allergy season. That post nasal drip shit happened again and eventually messed up my throat. However, it's not too bad and I should be okay for the convention. I weighed myself this morning as 255. Since I ate near midnight, can't really sleep yet. However, since my nephew JUST went to sleep, I think i'll work out at 2am (you know, get my metabolism going) so i can be in bed at 3. Need to drink like 3 bottles of water, already took sinus meds, and see what homework all needs to be done for this week, because I'm not doing it while at the con. 

I hope to make half a mile in 6 minutes. That means jogging at a simple pace and just breathing. 

Lastly, I came upon a new anime last night when I got home. Kiss him, not me is stupid hilarious and funny and bought me back to my Ouran high school (fav anime btw) and chobits. Those high school days...but anyway, check it out. Only saw 1 episode and gonna watch the rest come the weekend during down town. If any of you are going to blerdcon, hit me up on my tumblr (https://www.tumblr.com/blog/kawastrong/). Wish me luck on exercise and good night!!

Day 153 Part B

If someone could like limit my period to 5 days, I'd be much happy about it...moving on to my day, I found out I can be done paying off my credit card by the end of the summer, which is awesome. Also, pushing forward watching Naruto Shippuden and about to exercise at 12:30. Gonna jog, do jump squats (maybe in box form), try to do some sit ups, and 100 jumping jacks. Gonna finish up some youtube vids, see about connecting with people to learn spanish in less than a month (goals) and then do some documentation for work and call it a night. So if I don't message back, til next post...

Day 152 and 153 Part A

Sooo, yesterday i almost didn't work out. But I told myself to get off my ass and I went outside. I did an actual jog around the driveway. My time was 7:29 and I jogged 0.32 of a mile. I'm static because after pushing through the 3 minute time, my body was accustomed to the jog and it made me feel like I could jog for another hour...clearly could not...but the feeling is amazing. Can't wait to do it today...shit I might do it when me and my mom come back from downtown. I could feel my buns. It was awesome.

I also did 10 regular squats, 30 jump squats, 100 jumping jacks, and now that i now the proper way to do a push up (did 6 on steps i think, i could feel my chest), I'm easing myself on the steps to do them. It was just exciting. Well gotta go...will post when i get back.

P.S. Yesterday i was 258, i'm now 257.

Day 151 Part B

Trying to watch Mickey and the Three Musketeers so I can continue Dream Drop Distance. While waiting for the movie to load in between times, listening to John Oliver and defending myself from my nephew messing with my moles. 3 year olds...

Have a good night!! BTW, gonna try one more time to fast from sunday to Friday morning...Wish me luck!

Day 150 and 151 Part A

So listen to this bullshit. I finally planned today to go outside and time myself for whatever amount of time I run/jog. Starting with taking my mom out, my review mirror fell off, gotta get glue for that shit. Then, I go out front, do a warm up fast run around the yard so I can stretch my legs. I hear the neighbor's dog across the street barking. I look over, he not in the backyard. I'm looking like "FUCK" why the hell is he loose. My sister and brother in law telling me that mom said the dog is old, fuck that I'm not taking no chances on that shit. So I angrily jog in the backyard, which is not flat nor applicable to how I want to do my run. How is it that when I want to do something, good for me, especially if it helps me get this job I want, that shit blows up in my face. Either I run in the backyard or take a chance catching rabies. I don't know our neighbors like that and am not putting my health in danger like that.

On to a sort of positive (sorry I had to vent that out), I ran 0.14 of a mile in 2:36. Now, mind you, I only need to do 0.5 miles in 6.5 minutes or less. I might try again later after I go to Auto Zone to see about this glue. Friday not coming quick enough.

Day 149

Watching John Oliver's video on Puerto Rico. It's rough. The U.S. is rough. On my side of life, I'm about to exercise at 12:30am. 200 jumping jacks, 100 squats, and I believe 40 actual push ups. We shall see. Also, I have not made my 8 bottles of water but have definitely made 5 or 6 a day, which I'm proud of and weighed at 256.2 last I checked. And, I start the motivational exercise tomorrow morning to see how I fair...if that's the right wording. Wish me luck!

Did I mention my hair is awesome. So fluffy and thick. Can't wait to see how long it gets by my bday. Until next post, be safe, and good night!!

Day 148 Part B

So gonna exercise at 4am, do about 100 jumping jacks or 100 squats...if I can't find my exercise bra. Drink 3 more bottles of water, do my homework, and i'll be done. Here's to getting it together. I will however, not weigh myself until friday morning. Want to get 8 bottles in before midnight tomorrow. Toodles!!

Day 146, 147, and 148 Part A

So...a few things have happened. For one, I have been given the opportunity to do an agility test for a chance at a job. I have to be able to do push ups, sit ups, and run a certain distance. That's all fine and dandy, as I can use it as motivation for training. Afterwards, after an interview, I will found out if I get the job.

I told my family and there was not as much excitement as I wanted. You'd think it's like I'm working for 7.25 an hour. I just would like for people to be damn happy for me. Call me a baby, but it hurts my feelings. When my dad gets home, I'll tell him.

Another thing, I blew the fasting deal. It usually takes me 3 days to prepare for it. I did, however, decided to drink 8 bottles of water a day. So far have had 3 bottles and on my 4th. I know i can make the water intake. Also, taking niacin and b6 and b12 with chromium in the morning. Going to try to exercise twice a day. During the day for the motivation job training and at night for the 200 jumping jacks...yes i need to do 200. I've been behind on my shit.

I've decided that i'll stick with Deidara and add a cosplay once I get to Blerdcon. Also, my period is getting on my damn nerve. When I weighed myself this morning, just to see how much I've messed up, the scale couldn't make up it's mine between 255 and 259. Well then...till I post again tonight...

Day 144 and 145

So it's been rough these pass few days. Yesterday I took a break and today I think I'll take a break again, but I'm going to fast until the con. Water, apple cider, and of course lemon juice. Since I'm just going to run with my period this week, I figure fasting won't be too bad. Love you guys, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, and be safe!!

P.S. Pray I get a job this week. Did an assessment for HCA yesterday and I hope I get in. As one of my friends said, CLAIM IT!! Good night!!

Day 142 and 143

So i'm definitely on my period, and it's throwing off my weight regimen, but it's okay. I know I'm going to be at least 240 when i leave here. I just have to. Also, tonight, since i ate food from a benefit our family friend was having to raise money, i'll be exercising quite late. I can't NOT workout. Also, going do a app or two tonight and pray like hell that something pulls through tomorrow. I want to put in my two weeks tomorrow, but i gots to have something. Might also watch a movie while waiting on 3:30 to get here. Until then, night night!

Day 141 Part B

Well, I've given up on my pride of searching for particular jobs. I'm apply to a few places tonight and calling in the morning. I can't stand my store any more. I'm sick of the fitting room and ready to just be somewhere else where i'm not 2nd rate. . .

On the positive, the last time I ate was 5ish so after I drink my stuff, I'll exercise and call it a night. Looking forward to weighing less than 255 in the morning. Till then be safe and good night...see ya!!

Day 140 and 141 Part A

Hello citizens in the Kingdom of Lot, I have awesome awesome news. So, yesterday morning i weighed myself and to my destructive surprise, i went back to 258. I was in denial and irritated and so I decided, it's time to step it up a notch again. I had planned out my day and my last meal was at 5. I planned to eat my dried blueberries at work but they never gave me a break. It's cool. Took it eventually as a positive. After buying some apple cider vinegar from walmart, made my way home, did some Dream Drop Distance (figured out some stuff), and made my drink before exercising.

My drink consisted of water, apple cider vinegar, cayenne pepper, and lemon juice. I also took a 250 mg niacin. I told yall i mean to get this weight down. I did my 120 jumping jacks and 60 squats. I drunk the other half of bottle water to follow the drink i had while exercising. Plus it's good to get rid of the acid on your teeth. After getting a bottle of water for the night in my room, I went to sleep.

I wake up this morning, use the bathroom (always before weighing myself), and prayed as I got on the scale. I now weigh 255.2 pounds. A whopping 2. 8 pounds. So excited. I tried to tell my sister that is also working to lose weight, but she was in a foul mood and made no expression whatsoever. I didn't tell my mom since she's happy when i tell her i lose .1 pounds, and my other sister gave me a high five. So now, i'm telling you guys while I listen to Infinite. Love those guys.

Lastly, I worked my ass of applying for jobs yesterday. Because of that, I didn't get to vote. If you voted, I applaud you and give you internet high fives and internet hugs. I also know i can't complain about the outcomes. Well, until next post!!!!

Day 139

So I figure over the weekend, the weight gain had to be between chicken and gravy or the beginning of my period. Either way, I looked at my calendar this morning and refused to give in to anger. I exercises last night now adding an extra set to my routine, resulting in 120 jumping jacks and 60 squats, and I weighed 256 this morning. Meaning i lost 1.2 pounds since yesterday. Not giving up.

By the way, i'm working hard to find a job to get away from my retail job. I think it's between the hotel or this counseling place. Seems promising. Look forward to it. Wish me luck! Good night!

Day 138

So this morning when I got up, i weighed like 257. I was in total disbelief. It wasn't until I went to work that i realized I hadn't had a bm. I was a little mad, but I will just check tomorrow morning. About to workout within teh next hour and hope for the best tomorrow. Hopefully 254 or less. Also, the Tron legacy workout was AWESOME!!! Tonight I may listen to Monster Mode Epic Badass Workout!! More about it later. Til tomorrow morning!! Good night citizens!!

Day 137 Part B

Just got back about an hour ago from poetry. Was really good. Watching some exercise videos, gonna do some stuff online, exercise, and by 1:45, I'm going to sleep. Here's to 253 pounds!!


By the way, I watch Tron Legacy and the ending had me in my feelings. I need a mother fucking part 3 man!!!! But for now, I'll settle for daft punk soundtrack...maybe I'll listen while exercising. Anywho, good night and here's to 253 pounds lol...

Day 137 Part A

So I weigh 254.6...I am on a roll and found clothes I forgot were in my closet and some I was looking for. I'm debating Scar from Fullmetal Alchemist. My only issue with Scar is my hair. While I can strike my hair back with gel, the top part needs to be white and I'm trying to figure that part out. Might have to do white spray again (which I hate) but I know I can pull off. I can wash my hair and then braid it the next day for Deidara. Then Sunday, take my hair out and go as Iron Heart a.k. Iron Man (Woman) a.k.a. Riri Williams. Gots to be in the 220s for this, I swear I have to.

Other than this, I see myself in the 230s at teh end of the month...it's just having the patience and time...Also, I'm wearing my Sigma Alpha Pi shirt for the first time and will probably post a pic later. After I order my books for school, gonna call about the Loss Prevention job I want and play catch up on the following shows: Arrow, Naruto Shippuden, Attack on Titan season 2, Flash, and Tron Legacy the movie. Might catch up on Scandal next week. And need to start Fairy Tale again. Til next post!

Day 136 Part B

So I have seen enough of my retail job to last me forever. On a positive note, I'm at home and in a few I'll exercise. I'll just do the jumping jacks and call it a night because I am seriously tired. I want to be 254 tomorrow...Good night, and be safe!!

Day 135 and 136 Part A

HELLO KINGDOM OF LOT CITIZENS!!

     I am so excited. So you guys know that I've been doing my jumping jacks, squats, and I feel the need to remove burpees and replace them with something else, but more on that later, I now weigh 255.2 pounds and I am ecstatic and my Deidara cosplay is perfect on me. I still need the contacts AND i don't know if I had posted it, but I found these jumbo marshmallows for his bombs. AHH!

     I tried on a few things this morning and am happy I'm slimming down. I've been drinking apple cider, water, no cow milk, trying to stay away from cheese, and of course I love the dried blueberries. They are just divine. Anyway, I'm still debating the two other cosplays. I'm at the point that I could do scar from fullmetal alchemist, but also still on the brinks of Garnet and the new Iron Man (Woman). At 248 pounds I'll make a final decision.

     Also, I should mention that from doing the diet thing with my sister, we had these pills that I like taking: they consist of b6, b12, zinc, chromium, and vanadium. Not going to research these right now for yall, but they aid in metabolism, increase lean body mass, and I believe breaking down fat in the body...more on that later as well (and I'll cite it).

     I'm still working toward wearing my soul eater death the kid shirt, which is an XL. I'm am so gonna be in that shirt on the 30th. If I'm less than 230 on the 30th I will post a video of me screaming.

Day 134

Tonight is the second night with a full moon. Awesome feels. Last night I exercised and weighed 257.6 this morning. Finally. Ready to be less than this tomorrow. Wish me luck...

Btw, last night i did 100 jumping jacks, 50 squats, and 10 half burpees. Working on making those whole burpees, but I'm happy. Also, went to a job fair today, and I received so much awesome information. I can go to a program in the fall and become a Clinical Medical Assistant that also certifies in Phlebotomy and EKG (electrocardiogram). I talked to the Marriot Recruiter and found out I could apply for Loss Prevention. It was suggested after I told her I wanted to use my criminal education to work with kids in the justice system. I'm hella excited. Gonna try to apply after I workout. Goals now: be 252 or lower this weekend AND get hired by the Marriot within the following two weeks. Bye retail...

Day 133

Last night i did not exercise due to headache. I'm about to exercise tonight and shooting for 200 jumping jacks, 100 squats, and possibly 10 burpees, we'll see. Also, I had a revelation tonight while at work. This coworker i had didn't want to put away clothes on her watch of the fitting room teh few minutes while i was doing a training video. That's cool, last straw. I had took all those clothes and put them aside until I made my decision: if I put these away, I want another job within 2 weeks and I'll be out of here. I give myself until the 21st to get the hell away. I can definitely say I did 2 years, and this is enough with the bullshit. Sick of those customers, sick of pettiness, just sick of the place. I rather deal with the crap 5 minutes away from home with less gas with lower pay, then be 20 minutes away from home spending more gas and higher pay, at least for right now until i start and complete phlebotomy training. I hope I get a job by the end of the freaking week, hell maybe tomorrow at the job fair. We shall see.

Hope everyone else's day was great. Wish me luck on exercise, I'm taking control.

Day 132

So today has been an okay day. Got to drive me and my nephew out for a long travel errand, wrote an awesome poem today just out the random, didn't have to go to work because my client wasn't feeling well, my dad's health will be taken care of by surgery at the end of the month (and he gets to rest for a few days so we can keep an eye on him) and I just found out that one of the counties of my city has a facility that trains pharmacy tech, medical billing and coding, phlebotomy, ekg, ekg-phlebotomy (WHAT???), and medical assistant. I was blown I tell you!! Hoping on calling them tomorrow. For right now, phlebotomy is the plan...unless medical assistant is available for my area.

Also, I'm at the part of dream drop distance where I'm in The Grid, which is an area in Tron's world. I liked Tron in Kingdom Hearts 2. Since I didn't see the movie Tron: Legacy, I'll be watching tonight so i can continue playing the game. Refuse to play until then.

Last night I did 100 jumping jacks and 50 squats. I was happy. Hoping to be less than 259 tomorrow. Wish me luck. Good night!! (listening to Roundabout by Yes; Jojo's bizzarre adventure ending)

Day 130 and 131

so last night i did not work out. I was up til 3 updating my paper and i had to be at work by 9:30 so i let it go. About to work out, watch an episode of arrow after I braid or twist my hair, and call it a day...er, night rather. Feels something, this weekend. Tomorrow, my dad will be everyone's concern as he goes to his doctor appointments and I'll be searching for a job I can deal with should my job decided to get rid of me. The manager decided to deny my request the weekend of Blerdcon. I'm still going. I also have a second job, so I won't be outback. However, this job is wrecking me a bit and I'm ready to either be in the medical field or just get another job. What yall think? Anyone got any info on phlebotomy courses in Richmond, lol, I'm serious, let me know. Good night!!

Day 128 and 129

So for the past two nights I've been working out. After the exhausting day I've had (family depression stuffs) and almost crying at work I decided to give my body a break for the night. I have not eaten since 10pm and 2am marks 4 hours, so i can go to sleep. Trying to level up no dream drop distance and then I'll lay down. Was gonna drink apple cider vinegar but I can definitely just do water. Today was pay day so bought a case of 32. Well, I am really tired. Head falling off and crap. Good night citizens in the Kingdom of Lot, and for those working out, please keep going, you got this!!
