So, as I said I would, I saw the rerelease of Monty Python And The Quest For The Holy Grail!
"Grrrrrrrrraail?!?!"
Shut up, you. Right.
So we went down to the Amherst Dipson Theatre, got tickets, and TWO PACKETS of Monty Python and The Quest For the Holy Grail Playing Card Game (Boosters Sets - 15 cards each), This game looks too funny (of course, it's based on Monty Python, so it'd have to be, right?) So I'll probably, when I have extra money, try to get me some more cards.. for collection purposes of course :)
GET ON WITH IT!
Right!
Anyways, the movie was as fun as it always was and it was cool to see it on a big screen. I enjoyed the movie totally (Knew I would, though.)

In other words, I learned an important lesson yesterday. If listening to music whilst working out, try to make it appropriate music. New Age music, whilst good to listen to now and then, is NOT appropriate work out (for me, at least) music.
On the other hand, rock and roll, techno and punk music (for me, again) are. So that's what i'll be listening to whilst working out.
I only worked out for about 13 minutes yesterday. It was my own fault., Part of it was music choice (Enya is relaxing. It's not the kind of music you want to run to, though. Cool down, maybe, but not run to). Part of it was I kept trying to fiddle with the programs on the treadmill instead of trying to stay more or less the same course I had two days ago. Then i tried to hit the abs machines. I plan to try again today.. perhaps "properly" (I think I was lifting too much weight. It hurt. It didn't feel right. I doubt, running the treadmill and stuff, I need to work on my legs much.. but my abs and stuff.. I should do..)

Ummm... not much else. Going back to the gym at 12:00. Gotta balance my mom's bank account AGAIN (because, somehow, she can't do it by herself :P ) then we're going to the Beach for DInner.

Tommorow is my first day of Graduate School. In one hand I'm excited. it should be a cool year. Totally different from any previous year. What with working out every day, with working as an RA, with driving to school, with being able to have Satudays off and go to SARPA (Role Playing Association at UB) if I so want to...
I feel like I did the first summer just before I started out as a freshman at RIT. The world is full of new possibilities I can explore. I can't explain it better than that, I guess.

Anyways, time to finally end this post. Ciao folks!

Well, a goal, at least.
I want to be 200 lbs.
I dunno if I can ever be 200 lbs. I've heard of plateauing at a certain weighjt. I don't recall ever weighing any less than 240 lbs.
Barring that, I would settle for just being a lot thinner. I don't at all mind if, over the year I develop more muscles. And I know that muscles are heavier than fat (which is why fat people float and the swim jocks have to struggler harder to keep afloat.)
All in all, I just want to be more thin.
Is it possible to lose 1 - 2 lbs. per week assuming yer eating well and exercising half an hour each week? I hope so. That's my goal. 2 lbs/week would be better as I'd be alot thinner within a year, but I can live with 1 lb per weeek.

I'm proud of myself. I worked really hard in the gym. No wimping out like yesterday. I must have burned 220 or 230 calories (I know I made it to just about 200 on the treadmill and then I went to work on my abs and arms some.) Kinda tired, kinda sore. Not as sore as I was the first time after getting out of the gym, though. That's an improvement.

It was good for me to see other people in there who didn't look muscular and thin. I felt like I fit in there a little more, just a bloke in there trying to work in. No one even laughed when I nearly killed myself on the machine that's supposed to help you do chin-ups. A few raised eyebrows, but no laughs.

I think I need to buy a bathroom scale. I used my mom's. I didn't like what I saw (about 300 lbs. How the HELL did that happens? Wait.. I know.) but I want something that's easier to see so that I can help chart my weight loss weekly or something, for my own interest.

Well, this is one tired pixie signing off.
Say Good Night Gracie!
