5 miles. Time was something like an hour 5 minutes, I took a few breaks.

I ran by the gym and did an hour of uphill jogging on the highest incline setting.

15 decline crunches, 5 decline situps.

I haven't eaten anything but a bowl of rice w/ some veggies and vinegar tossed in. I'm kinda depressed and no hungry.

[Leprechauns1021]

Depressed? Thats not good to hear..you gonna be ok? Just some rough stuff going on right now?

Thats a lot of cardio. How many times per week do you plan on running that much? I'm guessing the 3 activities you have lined out means cardio 3x a week? (or at least that kind of cardio)

My best friend of 6 years got my brother drunk and seduce him, thus cheating on her fiance. This is after she raped me last year in Jan. I can only let go of so much. The cardio was to burn it out of my system. I'll think about food sometime before I hit the sack.

5/21/09

2:30 am meal: brown rice, diced hot peppers, 2 tablespoons vinegar. Ranch.

[RekaW]

Wow, ambitious diet.

Sorry to hear about your depression, and hope you can let it go.
Make sure you're taking in plenty of multi-vit suppliments along with your diet.

You're depressed state right now probably has a bit to do with your diet.

I'll be following this thread. Just don't go overboard yeah.

[Hard Drive]

Today is a sparring day, kendo.

My diet is gonna be the same thing for a while. The reason I add the vinegar with high carb meals is because it increases the acidity of the stomach and thus lets you digest easier.

Oh and RekaW, welcome^_^

[Leprechauns1021]

Wow...sorry to hear that. Hope things work out for you though.

How long have you been fighting?

I haven't been out of a martial arts facility more than 3 months since I was 8 years old. I'm hardly any good, but it's really fun all the same.

5/21/09:

3 servings of rice noodles throughout the day with veggies.


1 mile run today.

Thats really cool. My brother recently started some MA recently when he went to college. He does BJJ and hes actually done pretty well. I might try it out next year as well..just dont know what I would want to get into.

[Hard Drive]

good news: sparring went well, left arm is jello.

bad news: i laid out my motorcycle. yeah some of you know I do that a lot. lucky this time it was only my ankle being sprained and a lot of scrapes. i'll be substituting running with copious amounts of caffeine for a week.

[Leprechauns1021]

Lol.

Crashing motorcycles... Mixed Martial Arts...Vegan

You like to live on the edge dont you?

you have no idea.

to be honest i'm scared to death after today's wreck. I'm so scared I wanna scream.

Oh yeah and this caffeine biz, crap is bad for your nerves>.<

Edit: it wasn't anxiety or post traumatic stress or shock. It was heat stroke. God I thought I was such a wuss for shaking all night. I have much to learn.

[Hard Drive]

5/23

rice, ramen, veggies and olive oil/vinegar. few servings.

threw it all up on this morning of 5/24, so i made high sodium really dry tofu chips to settle my stomach, apparently the crash the other day hit something in my organs... idk. elbow is getting worse, stiff, hard to move, leg is all bacl and blue and the knee is starting to creak a bit>.< i would give anything for a join, even though i haven't smoked for years i'd love a friggin goddam joint right now so i could just fall asleep and not wake up throwing up again.

the tofu chips are yummy though^_^ I wish I could share, they really ARE yummy nummy.

What about guys who prefer muscular people?

Just thought I'd point that out! Wishing you success in your goals.

How's the holiday treating you? I helped my training partner move some boxes, shelves, and schtufff to a storage unit on Saturday. Lifted after that. I have off today and tomorrow and am grateful for that.

Summer is almost here!

We pause now for this important message...

I'm on a long journey to well, become something I've been chasing after my entire life. I just want to get that done, then there's no question about it, I WILL get back to olympic lifting and maybe even bodybuilding, but this is just my personal battle right now. You already bore with me when I was trying to too many things at once, so this time it's just one thing at a time. It shouldn't be too long before I hit 100, I'm getting a lot better about splurging and REALLY limiting my calories and sodium, so I'm hoping by august, maybe october. It would be fun to hit my 21st birthday night at 100 pounds.
After that's done, I have every intention of getting some curves back(my boobs have already gone to a A cup>.>) and some powerful legs as well. I can still jump high but when I work out w/ one of my boyfriends just spotting him on bench leaves my biceps sore for days... but I like it, it's nice to NOT be strong for a change.

Summer IS here for me. I've been getting roasted a fine shade of red since friggin March, hehe. The holiday is great, I'm waaay hyper now that school is out. I got a promotion from CVS to Walgreens, a pay jump too, so I've had off for a few weeks and am enjoying being MYSELF, and not a model student/athlete/representative of some company I hate. I start back in a few days, but it's good. I'm gonna have to start running through my flash cards again soon to keep my mind sharp... or I could start reading some scifi novels, haven't been able to read for a WHILE cuz i study so much... any suggestions?

I am considering it. I seem to be more battered up than my old man is(he's 60) which is quite frankly: sad.

I'm a med student, so I have a decent idea of what's going on in my body(I hope).
Luckily I also have the leisure of writing out my own prescriptions, so I finally gave in and got some painkillers, cuz i can't stomach alcohol and I was already throwing up. Now I'm waaay buzzed and uber hyper. I wanna go run a marathon but I know I have to stay STILL and heal... it's so hard, I'm hyber and wanna bounce around... but I will heal... anyone got a sensu bean?

[Hard Drive]

kay so I'm starting my day with two cups of coffee, 200mg caffiene pill, and 3 cups of green tea and some situps. I want my ankle to heal.

Now that I'm on lortab, hopefully I'll stop throwing up everything I eat from the pain I'm looking forward to lots of tofu(I discovered a recipe for tofu chips this morning and they were DELICIOUS) and lots of crackers and lightly salted, slightly burnt grilled veggies so that they're dry and a little less flavorful and won't induce me to gag. Christ I feel like I have morning sickness, even though that's technically impossible... did I mention I switched up my hormones from a generic to brand name temporarily cuz I'm low on finances and had to go on my stash? So my unusual pregnant woman-like cravings are even WORSE, I have a desire to blend up steamed leeks with peanut butter and tobasco sauce and serve use it as a dip for dry, uncooked crunchy ramen. Dun worry I'm not gonna dream of doing that or I will become even more malnourished... main goal for today is just to keep at least a minor amount of food in my system! The tofu is staying down thus far and so I'm really excited about that^_^

Yaaay sunday!

My cat was just wrestling my 20lb. dumbell. She was cute Then she got stuck underneath>.>

[TKD]

It's not sad, I feel AMAZING, it's like everything is clean and i'm bouncy all the time!

MMA and Kendo, amongst other things. It's not something I take too seriously or have any desire to compete in and I couldn't anyways due to my weird gender screwup situation, but it's still a ton of fun, it REALLY is. There's a lot more interaction and team work than at the gym.

I was just messing with the "sad diet" comment
As long as you're getting all the nutrients you need thats the main thing!

Good to hear you're enjoying the martial arts!

Wishing you success and happiness in your journey, HD.

And congratulations on the promotion, pay jump, and especially the enjoying being yourself part!

I'm not much of a scifi buff so can't offer much by way of an intelligent or informed suggestion. Just purchased the newest Jack Reacher novel - "Gone Tomorrow" http://www.amazon.com/Gone-Tomorrow-.../dp/0385340575 by Lee Child and also picked up "Vampire Zero" http://www.amazon.com/Vampire-Zero-G.../dp/0307381722 by David Wellington. Neither are scifi. Reacher is a kickass ex Army military police officer and Wellington is a horror writer.

And I'm listening to "Echo Park" http://www.amazon.com/Echo-Harry-Bos.../dp/0316734950 during my commute or whenever I'm driving. Fun cop story by Michael Connelly.

Damn...sorry to hear about the sick feeling. Hopefully you heal up properly and theres nothing seriously wrong. Checking out a doc wont be the worst thing to do. The doc may be able to tell you something you couldnt tell on your own (internal injuries).


So what was it about Pharmacy that you didnt like?

I feel a ton better now that I've got like 2000mg of tylenol in my systemO_O swelling is all gone, and the hydrocodone is supposed to make you drowsy but cuz I'm ADHD it's got me crazy HYPER.

Pharmacy... medical field... it's all about money. Docs should tell people do quit being ****in fatasses and quit prescribing expensive meds and just tell em to tough it out. People are DUPED into believing they're, "broken" and "need" medicine to live, well there's proven cases over and over again of people dieting and just WALKING daily and getting healthy enough to get off all their medicine. Being in pharmacy has made me hate mankind, lazy, selfish, freeloaders. They watch CNN and believe whatever it says, they can only think about what the government owes them and whine about ever dime that they have to give up. It's not about what they can contribute to the USA, it's what the government, "owes" them. What they are, "owed" is a goddam treadmill. Ugh. I hate my country, I hate to say it, but I'm ashamed to be an American because we're just becoming so obsessed with drugs and sex. It's like that's all we live for, is drugs and sex.

Thanks for the support Curt and TDK, ginormahugenougernoughtly awesome, mmhmm!

[Hard Drive]

Kay, knee is feeling close to 100% again, the elbow is really jacked up. Ankle is the same as knee. I'm anxious to hit the pavement again.

I had another issue with spontaneous vomiting. Like an hour after I ate(usual rice and veggies) I just threw it all up, and was nauseated all night at the slightest smell of food. Didn't feel sick, just miserable cuz my stomach was clenched up like that. Someone suggested a stomach ulcer, possible internal damage from the wreck, or a subconscious case of bullemia lol. I think I'm ruling out all of them and going for malnutrition of protein and other stuffs, so I'm gonna eat tofu for breakfast every morning.

Sorry to hear that...if its not better by now though I hope you've gone to a doctor. I'm usually the last person to want to go to a doctor and just get better on my own..but with whats been happening, I would hope that you would at least get checked out if its not getting much better.

Bump for progress update!
