I’m looking for more outdoor locations to try and keep my attention when I’m doing outdoor cardio.  I am located in Abingdon, MD which is in Harford County.  Anyone know of any places?

Hey everybody, I’ve been trying to find more ways to get out of the house and off of my ass other than going to the gym or walking around the neighborhood or the one hiking trail that I know of.  I don’t exactly have a good friend base to go out and do stuff with people and my only two good friends work as much as I do.  What are some ideas?  I like trying new things, I love to sing, dance, listen to music, do karaoke (yay I’m going on thursday this week), go to/rent movies, etc.  Thanks to anyone who responds, I need some more fun in my life.

It feels so good to be back in the gym, I waited the recommended time my doctor gave me and though I still have problems with getting dizzy, it is definitely a whole lot better than I was at the beginning of the week.  I got my depo shot today (goes in my thigh) so I couldn’t do too much cardio today, my leg feels like lead like after you get a tetanus shot.  I surprisingly only gained 2lbs after having no exercise for two weeks but now I’m back and can’t wait to kick ass at the gym. 

So I posted up a sample menu I want to say 2 days ago and pleaded for advice and got none.  What’s the point of even posting stuff in my blog if no one reads it, if it was gonna be for just me to read and think about then I would have never posted it.  I’ve gotten one person lately who’s been giving me advice but it seems like if I don’t hunt people down and send individual messages then I just get ignored.  I guess no matter whether your trying to loose weight on your own or apart of a community you’ll always feel like your by yourself in this.  What a way to start my morning

I went to my regular doctor today to follow-up after passing out at work a week ago because I was still feeling funky.  My doc told me that one of the meds that the ER doc prescribed me was probably keeping me ill and I should be good in 2-3 days after stopping the medicine.  He said I could try and start back exercising but it’d be best to wait 2-3 more days.  Which just sucks but after a couple more simple tests he had me convinced.  He shined a light in eyes and it irritated me so much I could barely keep my eyes open and turning my head from left to right made me dizzy and my heart rate shot up.  Grrr!  I can’t wait to get back into the gym hehe, who knew I’d miss working out.

So I’ve been trying to take it easy ever since I passed out on Tuesday (7/2/08), I’m making sure I eat every few hours as clean as can be on my very small budget.  Taking my meds and getting as much sleep as possible.  I worked 11 hours today at work and other than being tired I’m feeling fine.   Today I realized I missed being at the gym and can’t wait to get back in there.  Which is very surprising to me because normally I procrastinate about getting to the gym but I guess I’m still thrilled with my last cardio progress and what not, IDK!?  Well that’s enough chattin for tonight, ciao 4 now ppl!

So I’ve been sick since sunday, major sinus issues but took some otc meds seemed to be managing just fine.  Yesterday (Tuesday) I was at work feeling crappy but hey I’m sick.  My head felt funky but I figured I was getting another sinus headache.  I had just finished my lunch and I passed out falling out of my chair, it freaked me out and I just couldn’t come back from it.  An ambulance and a hospital trip later, I’m back home with some drugs and no explanation as to why I passed out, the only concerns were my high heart rate and funky breathing.  I forgot to ask the doctor when I was at the hospital because all I wanted to do was eat and sleep.  So I’m gonna ask you guys and hopefully someone will respond, when should I start back working out!?  I’ve worked out once this week out of the 4-5 planned workouts I had for this week, obviously health is more important but still.  Thanks to anyone who offers there advice.

I am melting down and freaking out cuz I just did my weigh in today and I’m now 193lbs and terrified.  I have gained like 6-7lbs since I started changing my diet and working out.  I know part of it is muscle but I still so scared.  I have been 230lbs before there is nothing attractive or healthy about it.  I’m losing inches, my body fat % is going down but the numbers on the scale just keep going up.  Maybe part of it is because I had such a junky food day yesteday.  Any advice I’d be so happy to hear it.  I changed the way I eat and I’m working out 4-5 times a week, lifting heavy when I weight train.  I just can’t get back to 200lbs, emotionally it will just kill me.

Things the past few days have just been devasting to loose my apt was one thing but to see my whole life packed away in a storage unit was just depressing.  I’ve had a couple bits of junk food here and there but I just feel so awful.  My job actually wrote me up for calling out because I was getting evicted and needed to move all my stuff so it wasn’t thrown out on the street and I called every available person who could cover for me.  My job and their lack of hours are the reason I lost my apt, they want me to give all I got but don’t want to give me a damn thing.  I haven’t been to the gym in the past 2 days between 36hrs of packing, lifting, and moving, going up and down 3 flights of stairs and what not I felt like one giant exhausted bruise. I am off work tomorrow so I am thinking of going to the salon to have my hair done, just something for me.  And hitting either the gym or dance studio, maybe even both.  I’m just in that place right now where I feel extremely depressed and stressed and I just feel like a huge fat blimp trying not to fall off the band wagon.  So if you are living in the abingdon/bel air, MD area which is where I am now and know of any better jobs or places for rent let me know.

I am so in the mood for some junk food so badly mostly because I am feeling so crappy about being evicted and more so being given less than 2 days by my landlord to move.  I’m thinking about ordering some asian take out food so I am getting some comfort food with out the large amount of calories like if I was ordering an order or cheese fries or going for ice cream which are like my junk food favorites.  IDK!?
