Top of a mountain

Day 6 in my 180 or bust. It has been a long week especially for someone who has not had a job. I have been to the gym every other day this week and plan on going to the gym tomorrow and Sunday and having my weigh in on Sunday. I have been busy working on something I can not discuss yet do not worry nothing illegal, and may be something that changes my life , or it may not but at least it was fun and it was a shot worth taking.


Throughout this whole week I have been trying to find motivation. I think yeah my health but being relatively young that has not set in yet. I think of women , but then I think to myself would I really want to be with someone who would not like the overweight version of myself. I have musings of how great it would be to be 180 , finish my degree and have a family. Then something crosses my mind and I think what happens when I get there. Is there really a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Is it going to really be everything I wanted or just replaced with another set of goals, and turn into a viscous cycle of looking for things that I do not have and feeling inadequate for not having these things? To me this is an interesting question is this part of the natural human condition. I would like to think that unmotivated people still have things they want to do and want to better themselves. Is it just me because I am stuck in a situation that I am that I am desperate to get out of?

Is this the path to true happiness fitting in a medium t shirt having paper that can get me things and having a "mate". Will these things make me find enlightenment. Few people find true happiness and I tend to think that the most happy people on Earth are the ones who lead simpler lives.

Enough philosophy babble. I am doing good killing it at the gym. I did well with my eating save one day when I had Chinese take out which I still feel bad about. I should not let it get to me it is just one meal in a long journy

  2. AC... seriously. Do you REALLY think you won't eat chinese food for the rest of your life? That's not very realistic. I think you need to stop beating yourself up about it. Good job at the gym! I've basically been going every other day, too. :)
    What all do you do when you go to the gym?
