Well, didn't make the 190 goal......in fact I am still about the same weight. Long work days were my excuse......now unfortunately I am living with a MCL injury that is holding up my progress

Spinning the real deal.....

Well in my last entry I mentioned I was going to start spinning, now with 4 classes in my legs and a 5th one tomorrow I feel comfortable saying that spinning is great exercise and also an enjoyable way (finally) to do cardio.

On January 1, 2011 I weighed in at 222.5, yetserday I weighed in at 217.5 therefore a 5 pound lose. If I can continue to lose 5-7 pounds for the next few months I will meet my goal of being 190lbs by June 1, 2011.

Wish me luck!!

So it begins.......1 rEvolution at a time

Tomorrow I will be attending my first spin class ever.....hopefully I can last the 45minutes.

Why am I going you ask? Well I know that is rhetorical since no one reads this thing but hey, I will answer anyway. On January 1, 2011 I weighed in at 222.5 pounds this is not acceptable considering I plan to get back into cycling in the summer of 2011. So my goal is to lose 32.5 pounds by June 1, 2011 and get down to a maximum of 190 pounds. Now that may still sound heavy and for cycling it is but for my build at 190 pounds I will be in hopefully phenominal shape......so tomorrow begins the transformation, at some point after the class I will post an update.

Twitter

Well here I am in February 2010 and I have been convinced to join the world of Twitter.....I signed up last night but I am not overly convinced of its functionality for the average joe. Anyway I will stick with it for the next little while and see what comes of it. One good thing though is that I have added this blog web address to my profile so I will need to update the blog more often...I know no one reads this blog but if anyone finds it I can be followed here:

Cheers for now

Nightmare Dream

Well there I was during my evening commute stuck in traffic......so what else to do write a poem/song influenced by the Haiti earthquake.....so here it is but remember it was written very quick on my blackberry while in traffic.

That mid afternoon
My world came tumbling down
With any clue
I lost you
I dug and I searched
And listen for your scream
I need to awake from this
Nightmare dream
You've been taken away
To you, so much I have to say
I want you, I need you, I love you
The days go by
I'm empty inside
Each day and each night
I sit and cry
I need to awake from this
Nightmare dream
You've been taken away
To you, so much I have to say
I want you, I need you, I love you
As the sun rose
I looked to the sky
In the cloud I saw your face
The sun was a twinkle in your eye
Your gone but
Your still here
You are my angel
That is always near
I need to awake from this
Nightmare dream
You've been taken away
To you, so much I have to say
I want you, I need you, I love you
As we rebuild and start off new
Through my life I'll
Never forget you
We'll be together again
When I rise up my sun beam
I need to awake from this
Nightmare dream
You've been taken away
To you, so much I have to say
I want you, I need you, I love you
I want you, I need you, I love you

Not much to say......

Well here I am back again....I don't have much to say this time but I figured I would write something down to try and get into the swing of blogging.....I really want to write in this more often but really I am just to lazy or I forget.....mostly forget.

Well the holiday season is upon us and after the gift giving it will be time to once again make those damn New Year's resolutions that we all fail at. Usually I don't bother making them because in all honesty is is just another day but this year I am going to. In the year 2010 I am going to try and teach myself to play the quitar with the goal being to be able to play one complete popular song from either 2009 or 2010 by the end of the year.......wish me luck.

Anyway, that is it for now, I would say thanks for reading but I know noone actually read this.....

I want to be patient, I really do....

Very recently I was told by an old friend from high school that she wanted me to meet one of her friends since we were both single and thought we would be a good match. To avoid the uncomfortable situation of a blind date and or chance encounter orchestrated by our mutual friend I took the first step and contacted the girl via facebook....cheesy I know, but is that not what facebook is for, to network? Anyway, although I was nervous about that approach it seemed to work out well, I received a reply relatively quickly and it was pleasant...not the "piss off stalker" reply I was afraid of. Anyway since that facebook message leap of faith it has been about 2 weeks and things have been going well but unfortunately only through the use of technology. Due to the fact that we are both extremely busy people, (her more so than me at the moment) we are finding it very hard to find time to actually meet in person.....but to be quite honest after a few telephone conversations and 100's of text messages I do still feel like it is going well. The problem is, I really want to meet this girl and I firmly believe that she also wants to meet me but due to our busy lives and this being the busiest time of year for her profession I don't see it happening any time soon. Realistically we may have to wait another month and a half to actually meet. I believe we are both intrigued by the other but I fear that trying to get to know someone or dare I say start a relationship via text messages is trying to say the least. I want to be patient, I really do and I believe I am doing a pretty good job so far but what if I remain patient and then she decides that she is not willing to be patient? Or what if a text message is interpreted wrong due to the lack of voice tone or inability to see facial expression or body language? To be truthful there are a few discouraging things....I have offered numerous ways for us to meet but none seem to fit in her schedule, although she say and I believe her that she is not avoiding me or being conveniently unavailable there is still that part in the back of my mind that wonders. Secondly is the apparent lack of effort or maybe a better word is interest in simply meeting for a quick coffee or drink. We both understand that each other is busy but I know I am more than willing to find 30 minutes or an hour to meet her even if that means sacrifice some sleep time as I am doing right now.....again there is a part in the back of my mind that wonders why her effort or interest isn't equal to mine. I am not in anyway desperate to find a relationship, in fact I wasn't even actively looking before our mutual friend mentioned us to one another so I don't believe I am getting over anxious by any means, but again to be truthful I do worry that I may sometimes come across to forward and this may be part of the problem.

Anyway, I hope something comes up or maybe better yet gets cancelled in the very near future so I can actually meet this girl that has wholeheartedly peaked my interest. We'll have to just wait and see but until then I will just remind myself..

I WANT TO BE PATIENT, I REALLY DO...
