Sweet summer time.

Tue, 07 May 2013 21:46:30 -0400

Got my grades back from this semester, and you know what? The Lord is so good - and he always be. I have never been faced with a semester as difficult as this. I completed my first research project, I survived two seminar style classes. I wrote over 12 papers this semester. 5 of those the week of finals. I worked more than I ever have before. I lost a lot of sleep. I ran a half marathon, but lost all my motivation to work out and be healthy. Those are the bad things. But the number or wonderful things that came out of it were so worth it. The most important thing though is that I’m constantly reminded why being challenged is essential. The reason being is that we can experience growth.

Here’s to Summer 2013, y’all! Take it and do amazing things!

Some new fitness knowledge!

I get e-mails from bodybuilding.com every once in awhile, and very rarely do I ever pay attention to them because they are usually trying to get me to buy more protein. Last night, I opened an e-mail which showed me some good ab work-outs, and I was like “hey, why not look at it?” One of the articles I read is incredibly interesting. (Here is the link: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/hd-abs-the-ab-etching-diet.html?mcid=abs_content_031713-male&rmid=abs_content_031713&rrid=14596871) Apparently, you can lose 15 lbs in 4 weeks. That’s INSANE. Not that I want to lose 15 lbs, but I wouldn’t mind it either. I learned that daily caloric intake is set at 11 calories per pound. I weigh 140 so I get to eat 1,540 calories a day! And 30% of those calories need to be protein. At some points, carbs then to be cut down to 40-60 grams a day. For me, this is the hardest part and probably why I don’t see great results in my abs. But on days I work out, I can eat more carbs than usual. A lot of this stuff I really already knew, but seeing the numbers just helps me mentally prepare for what I should and should not eat which is super helpful. I’m going to try to follow this as best as I can to see if I get any results, so we shall see!

And that’s when I saw her, we locked eyes and for a moment an entire life flashed before my eyes. Summer evenings locked hand in hand, autumn mornings sharing breakfasts, long walks, first kisses, a blast of what could have been. And then, like two ships passing in the night, she was gone. Arf arf bark bark I’m a dog.
