What a weekend

It was a little bit of a depressing weekend. I hit up a good cardio session on Saturday morning. I pretty much lounged throughout the day. The weekend is my time to take a couple of short naps and catch up on some good rest. I was glad that I didn't cheat, considering that I was going to eat like a maniac for Easter. I went to sleep at a good time, since the gym would be only open until 1pm on Easter. I wanted to get there and get my workout in.

I went to the gym Easter Sunday around 10am. The gym was very packed! I couldn't believe it. I was still able to get some cardio in and hit up my chest/shoulders. Since it was packed, I was in there for like 90 minutes, which is not a typical work out for me. I couldn't do certain machines that I'm used to because these SOB's were hanging out there for like 45 minutes. INCONSIDERATE BASTARDS!!! Anyways, I ate pretty well until dinner time. I pigged out and now I feel awful. I had some baked ziti, sausage, chicken parm, and some garlic bread. I ended up sleeping for an hour after that meal, which isn't good. I should've walked it off. Then I ended up having ice cream and some cake after. I felt like a slob. The Yankee game was on, so I obviously stayed up to watch it. Not a wise decision. I didn't get a good night's sleep.

I woke up this morning and checked the scale outta curiousity. I ended up gaining one pound since last Monday's results, all because of last night. I'm not going to lie. I felt disgusted. My back was a little sore because I slept bad and all of that hard work was wasted. I'm so glad that there are no major eating holidays until Thanksgiving. I will NEVER eat like that again. So, it's time once again to refocus and burn this weight off.

My short term goal is simple: check my weight on April 8th. I want to lose 20 lbs less than that weight for my bday. Simple. Always make short term goals first. Long term goals can discourage you. When my bday arrives, I'll check the weight again. From that date, I want to lose another 20lbs for August 7, which is my friend Manny's wedding. As far as I know, I don't remember my weight when I was younger. The lowest weight I remember being was 260, and that was in 2005. I'll easily break that for my birthday. I'm not looking at this as a temporary solution. Only as the beginning of a new "me". I'm not going to be that lazy fat guy sitting on the couch, stuffing my face with Oreo's. I've only been lifting consistently for over a month and I seen a difference. Imagine what 4 months of hard work can bring. Possibilities are endless.

Anyways, today is back day. I'll be taking an off day Tuesday to recharge my batteries. I'm off to work to bust my ass.

God is great and keep fighting the good fight!
