Hi.
So...I'll try to go in order. I fasted for a few days to get the gas issue out my system. I had a headache yesterday so I skipped gym and broke my fast. I'm at 243, so that's good. I finished my homework for the week and my new meal is pretty tasty. I'm also excited to be adding weight next week. Strength!!
Fast forward to today. I'm currently at work (took an extra shift, more money right) and ran, again, into this dumpster fire garbage that is the thought process of my kids. Long story short, had to postpone this blog because 2 of them decided to want to sleep outside. So fast forwarding, got them inside, and yeah...I'll just leave it at that. I can't wait until nursing is dun!!!
Looking forward to paycheck. AND, looking forward to my new project for 28 days of black cosplay. I'll go into detail later.
Weight: 243
Meal: Vegan Stir Fry--> jackfruit, chickpeas, veggies, potatoes, bbq, wing hot sauce, and seasonings
with a side of apples and lays chips
Exercise: lower body/leg day, mountain climbers, jogged 3 minutes, biked, elliptical, squats, high knees, jump rope, and leg machines
Oh, by the way, COMPLETED 30 DAYS OF VEGANISM!!!!! Boom. I do believe that, while I was able to not have an issue with ignoring stuff with meat and by products, I would like to eat eggs and cheese. Okay, I can figure out around the cheese, but would like eggs every once in a while. I figure that for the Superbowl I might do some type of meat, however, I don't feel pressed because I like the vegan stir fry I made so much, so that's that, HOWEVER, for katsucon I might eat meat if I can't figure out a vegan restaurant nearby...but we'll see. Well, gonna keep my motivation going. This is the way. I have spoken. Good night!!

Day 999
Hi.
Funny how day 999 is my day 1 of a completed fast. But anywho. I am happy right now. I drank almond milk with my Purely Inspired Organic Greens before and after working out, I've had all of my aloe juice from last night and am currently drinking water mixed with a bit of orange juice.
My day went pretty well. Had some stuff happen today that was not okay, but overall, I had a decent day. Awesome thing, I switched my gym time to morning so I could sleep more. Laid down from 6 to 10, didn't sleep all the way thru but it was MY 4 hours, so i'm happy about that. The gym was pretty good as well.
Steps: over 5000
Fasting: day 1 done
Exercise: leg lifts, leg curls, squats, bicycle, elliptical, seated leg raises, calf raise on machine, yoga stretching, leg pushes, back presses
It's pretty chill at work right now, so ima start my homework and then watch BATWOMEN!!! Shizz has gotten real on that show, but more on that later. Also, gas is now controlled. So happy about that. After this 7 days, if I feel up for a few more, I might do more. But as of now, I plan to do intermittent fasting which would include oatmeal with fruit and a salad with veggies, probably mixed bbq. Also been looking at the body I want. Got to stay motivated. This is the way. I have spoken. Get some rest.

days 995-998
Hi.
So I'm done with disappointing myself. At this point I'm going on a 7 day fast challenge. I would like to be able to just reach my damn goal and I know I'm better than this. Let's back up first...
So I'm done with disappointing myself. At this point I'm going on a 7 day fast challenge. I would like to be able to just reach my damn goal and I know I'm better than this. Let's back up first...
Veganism? No a problem.
Liquids? Not a problem (also getting in apple cider vinegar)
Exercising? Not a problem. I've gotten stronger and added weight today. Going awesome!
Eating? My main issue. Which means my weight is not going down.
So starting today i'll be fast for a week and I'll weight myself in 2 days I guess. I know it's not great but I just can't stand it anymore. 7 days then intermittent fasting until I reach 220 lbs. This is getting ridiculous and I can't do this anymore, plus, to be honest, I'm sick of this gas bit, so once I go back to meals I'll be cutting the bean intake in half and adding more fruits and veggies. I LOVE beans but the gas is bothering me everyday now. You also have bad gas if you eat too much.

So, with that all said, here's to flushing myself out and hopefully never seeing the 240s again and I think once I hit 220, I'll use my 2 free talks with the personal trainer at the gym. I need some guidance early unfortunately. Very sorry guys, I know I'm suppose to be learning along the way but I'm also trying to set an example. But I'm not perfect and I'm sick of this. Here's to me getting it together, because as I've said multiple times, this is the way. I have spoken. Please get some rest!!

Day 994
Hi.
Currently in Kingdom Hearts 3 mode. About to do the DLC.
I ate kinda twice this afternoon. However, I was able to follow thru with what I set out. I had a bottle of water with a cap of apple cider vinegar. I ate a spoon or two of my bbq bean mix before going to the gym. Since it's liquid like, I knew it hit my system quicker than the banana or apple (I will start using apples as well as my bananas for workout food). I did some extra machines for upper body and felt pretty good. I look forward to upping the weight.
Weight: 250 (yeah)
Steps: over 5000
Exercise: A lot of machines I don't remember, did do 25 pushups, 20 dips, and yeah
Lunch: 2 servings of bean mix, had 2 servings of spinach and lettuce mix, 2 servings of crackers, and 2 servings of oreos...maybe more (did you know oreos are vegan and made with soy instead of milk?)
After workout: 1/2 med cup serving of purely inspired organic greens in almond milk and water
As I said, in Kingdom Hearts mode. Cleaned up a bit, did some chores, and checked on school stuffs (GOT A 98, YEAH BOI) and worked out and bathed just so I could chillax with this DLC. If you play Kingdom Hearts or even playing the DLC, let me know how you feel. Oh yeah, my love story the manga is like my thing now, I want to know beyond the anime...so yeah there's that. So much going through my mind, refocus on blog tomorrow. Stay motivated. This is the way. I have spoken. GN!

Days 992-993
Hi.
So, yesterday I took a lax bc I felt backed up. That was a bit brutal. Mind you I took one and I had to eat like two pieces of bread. After that my body calmed down and after using the bathroom at work I was much better. Why lie about this lol, trying to be as honest as possible.
Speaking of honesty, I said I would not eat French toast sticks. Looked up the ingredients and found they were not made with milk, so I had some at work along with fries and a hash brown this morning. I ate my wrap this evening without the apple and after getting my nephew to my mom, I was able to go to sleep.
Also, my knee has been sassing me so I decided to change up my routine for tonight by doing all leg machines in the women's section of the gym, except for the inner-outer thigh machine. Did 20 reps twice on all of them, except for the leg push machine (the reason my knee got messed up in college in the first place).
Not gonna put the juicy bits down tonight. I don't deserve to. Will put them down tomorrow. Do know I got over 6000 steps. I was 247 on the 21st and did not weight myself this morning due to eating breakfast. I bought apple cider vinegar (containing orange, ginger, and turmeric) and "purely inspired Organic Greens" to aid in getting all my nutrients. It's vegan, I checked, and has probiotics in it as well. Trying to put myself in a position where it's all mechanic. I have pat down the urge to continue to go to the gym to get strong. It's just the food. I've got pat down the vegan bit, but just controlling is all I need to get down. Even now, I may eat a wrap. I had my banana prior to the gym but just have the urge to get the wrap. Also, and lastly, I think I'm going back to salad bowls, I miss using lettuce, it's a great filler. Well, please stay motivated. This is the way. I have spoken. GN!

Day 991
Hi.
Today would be my last day eating my job's wheat French toast sticks. I feel they may have milk in them due to the fact that eggo waffles have milk in them. I will just have to make my own and that's fine. Today I went to the gym and told myself I need to freaking get it together with the time. I want to be able to do 2 sets of everything and then add weight each week. So the rest of this week will be normal with the set weights at 50 lbs and then adding 5 lbs as close to 5 lbs as possible while keeping the same reps. Also I used the glute machine for the first time today and got a set of 10 per leg for 20 total reps. Pretty dope. Today I did 1 set of each exercise and it went pretty well. Did 30 mountain climbers while mostly maintaining my breathing. I can honestly say, even with all the bs eating I've messed up with, being vegan has increased stamina and I'm overjoyed with that. I'm ready to give all I got this week so I can add weight each week to progress my strength. Before I know it, I'll be doing my first pull up. Also finished this week's homework, so I'm ecstatic.
Steps: About 4,000
Weight: checking tomorrow
Breakfast: Wheat French toast sticks
Lunch: bean burger with spinach and apples and veggie chips
Snack: bean burger sandwhich with ketchup
Dinner: banana
Snack: pb sandwhich and the last of veggie chips
Exercise: 25 squats, 50 calories on elliptical, 20 leg curls, 20 leg raises, 20 leg lifts, 20 glute lifts, 30 mountain climbers
Gonna work on story writing at work and watch some more Batwoman. It's coming great. Also, going to switch up my eating to do wraps and burritos so I fill up and start going to the gym hopefully around 5 to 530 so I can start sleeping by 7 to 7:30. Need to be getting them sleep hours. Here's to getting my shit together. This is the way. I have spoken. Get that sleep people.

Days 988-990
Hi.
So I overate my calories a few days ago and that threw me off my game. Still vegan tho. Haven't broken it, just a little too many calories. I did not go to the gym Friday nor Saturday, I did go today and had an interesting "upper body" day. I did not count calories and did eat 3 times today...although not in a normal way. However, I want to keep going. Still need to teach myself giving up is not an option and I'm not setting an example on this blog or my one on tumblr, so here's my stuffs:
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner: Ate wheat French toast overnight at work and 4 black bean chick pea burgers with spinach, veggie chips, and vinaigrette for lunch before napping and 2 black bean chick pea burgers after working out
Weight: Will not weigh myself until Tuesday morning. Just know it will probably possibly be higher than 245 but not giving up, still got until the end of the month and then 2 weeks for katsu. I'm trying to get to the 220s by Valentine's day at least.
Steps: Over 6000, been doing great with this.
Exercise: So, I jogged 3 minutes as usual. My breathing is normal while jogging, so I'm extremely happy about that. Did my Australian pulls up (body rows), push ups, 55lbs on lats (different machine), did 30 on bench press instead of 20, improvised rows because someone did not put back the dumbells, ended up using the mini deadlift dumbell thingy @ 20lbs per arm lift (don't judge me, I don't know what it's called), I used a seated dip machine to do 125 lbs (pretty dope, I can actually do 205 lbs, so pretty psyched about that), did yoga cool down, and I skipped situps, didn't have time.
Goals: My goal is to reach 230s by the end of this month and 220s by mid February for Katsu. Maintain an A grade for Eng 112, get 84 hours average a paycheck, and maintain my regimen for 7 days straight before messing up again. On to homework. This is the way. I have spoken. Rest up folks!
