So I’ve been sick ever since I had that dish yesterday. So I had to change my plans about the...

Cassandra said all along not to eat bean sprouts!!

got off track for about almost half a month now, though it feels like a month. now, i have to restart everything over again. WTH man. so not cool. it was going great then i hit a plateau and got injured. everything sucks when you’re in rehab for an injury. you can’t do the things you normally do and at high intensity/level. having to start small and low and gradually build up. it’s messing with my mentality. i feel like i’m not doing much.

the things you got to do when injured. i hate it. it’s so hard to cut down on the food i take too since i’m not moving much. :( i’ve gained weight, i now weigh more than i ever did! ‘cause i ate the same amount of food but with less exercise. let’s up that starting tomorrow it’ll slowly go back to the way it was before all of this happened.

small goals, one at a time (no particular order):
1) no eating after 8pm
2) eat when i get to school (tuesday)
3) exercise every other day (doesn’t have to be intense of long)
4) drink more water instead of munching 
5) mini workout when i wake up
6) detox once a week 

“It’s not the food in your life, it’s the life in your food.”

This is the shit I come home to.

But now, at least a decade after many of us have been using cell phones, the IARC comes out and says they're "possibly carcinogenic." Why did it take so long to come to this conclusion? And, perhaps more importantly, why wasn't this work done before we all started spending 19 minutes a day talking on our cell phones?:

The truth is that for most technologies, we don’t wait around to see what the long-term effects will be. We don’t put cell phones on the shelf for a decade or so while epidemiologists carry out controlled studies on their potential carcinogenicity. Most of us — Americans especially, as native early adopters— want the new, and we worry about the potential consequences later.

Why now, the article asks? Probably because it was a lot easier to sell the phones and associated (expensive!) services after diminishing the brouhaha of “paranoid” freaks who everyone knows are just “out to ruin the fun!” It flabbergasts me that the article does not suggest the financial angle a lot more than it does. Also flabbergasting is blaming the American consumer for wanting newer and better as if they pursue those wants in a vacuum.

So, we are moving next month (38 days from today). We just found out for sure that we were moving 6 days ago. I am a very stressed out person right now. We went to the new town last Wednesday to try to find a place to live. This meant we ate out for lunch and dinner so my diet wasn’t going to great for the day. Problem is, since then I can’t stop putting food in my mouth. It seems like I’ve lost all self control. I haven’t even been able to limit the diet soda I’m drinking. Usually I’m fine with one at dinner, lately I feel like I’m drinking one all day long. To be fair, I printed out a pre-made moving checklist and one of the items was “Start using up food you have stored so there is less to move”. Now I walk through the kitchen telling myself “Well, I don’t want to have to pack this”.

Tomorrow’s plan calls for lots of water, lots of veggies, and no junk.

Banana rolls and Superman/Banana are my BEST FRIEND! And so is core synergistics! My favorite position for sure is lunge-kickback-curl-press. I was rockin’ and rollin’ with my weights and sweatin’ more than Richard Simmons ever could in his short shorts.

Challenge: After this workout, attempt to sweep the floor swiftly with a broom. Tighten your core and obliques. You will feel the burn! :P

So I’ve been sick ever since I had that dish yesterday. So I had to change my plans about the whole diet. But I’m still trying to eat just healthy food, just cooked. I had an apple and a little banana though…Oh! I had watermelon as well :D teehee. The cooked food I had though was brown rice and some pinto beans. I ate the brown rice a couple of times when I was hungry. I told myself, screw my whole time limit about when I should eat and stop eating…I’m going to eat every time I feel hungry, even if it’s just a little until I’m not hungry anymore. I can’t suffer the way I did last night ever again. I was so weak and I couldn’t movie…I had a bad case of…”loose motions”…that’s how I’ll word it because I’m embarrassed about it. I also had a bad headache and felt dizzy…I even almost threw up a couple of times. I was dragging myself and I couldn’t breathe, I just felt so weak. It took me about 5 hours to feel a bit better. I still have a bit of the “loose motions” but I’m much better than yesterday. I don’t care if I have to gain weight to recover my skin and health in general.

I figured something. If my parents, well family, won’t help me with my journey and buy food I need to recover, I’m going to find a job so I can buy it myself. I think it’s the time to find a job at least until school starts again (That’s the only time my parents really give me any pocket money). At least it’ll keep me occupied and stuff for the summer and I won’t feel like a lazy butt. I thought I won’t ever get a job any time soon, not unless I finish my education…but I’m desperate to get better. I mean, finding a job is going to be quite hard these days…but I’ll try my best hunting for one.

vegans

Shannon: They don’t look healthy.  All of them look malnourished.  That isn’t a coincidence.

Chris:  I don’t care if you’re a vegan just don’t act like you’re better than people who are not.  And…stop saying you’re a vegan if you’re not really a vegan.  If you follow up the phrase “I’m a vegan” with “but I eat…” then you are not a fucking vegan.  Like people who say they are vegetarians but they will eat fish and chicken on occasion?  Okay then, you’re not a fucking vegetarian.  That’s like saying “I don’t smoke…unless I drink”…and since you drink every weekend you’re a fucking smoker!  

Hey Shannon you know I’ve never got a speeding ticket…except for the three times I got speeding tickets.

Shannon: One of my roommates is a vegan for the health benefits and then smokes cigarettes.  Makes no sense to me.

I was vegan for a minute and then I was like “oh wait, i miss cheese” so that ended real fast.

Chris:  I’m so glad you mentioned that smoking thing because there are a shit load of vegans out there who smoke weed and regular cigarettes all the time then have the nerve to turn around and preach healthy eating choices.   I don’t smoke but I don’t talk about how I don’t smoke all the time.  I don’t care if someone smokes but if they do all I ask is that they do that shit away from me because I don’t want to smell like smoke.  Also…I could never date a girl that smokes.  I don’t understand how people kiss smokers…fucking barf!

Shannon: Smoking is the greatest of deal breakers. yuck yuck yuck yuck yuck.  I have dated more than one pothead though.  They suck as well, but for different reasons.

Chris:  Good point about the weed. Although I don’t smoke it myself I probably would date someone who did but I would not date someone who smoked cigarettes?  I guess I’m a fucking hypocrite.
