Staying up until four in the morning to watch The Rum Diary wasn't the most brilliant thing that I have ever done, but it's up there. I drank about four cups of coffee with my eggs today, hopefully I don't crash. I don't need the rush to last me all day, just the next six or seven hours, then I'll go to the gym, which, tired or not, I wake myself up from for damn sure.
 
14 hours without power and it's 10 below zero. Thank goodness I have a generator and two wood stoves. This is just way too cold!
 
Hello everyone!



Another day of 10 below zero weather. I think it's warmer in Alaska right now.

Seventeen minutes until I have to go to school, I am really getting tired of this routine. :P/>

Hope you got more than a few hours sleep last night.
 
What I day I've had. The fire alarms all went off in my house. I checked everything and there was no fire. The fire inspector just left and he has no clue why they went off. This is pretty scary not to have an answer.
 
Yesterday was nothing Jazzy as I had a late breakfast.

Today was a Brie and Cranberry baguette.
 
Nope, but drinking water throughout the day.





and OH MY GODS!!!!!!

I may have just landed a small time Public Relations job. Non-Paid, but it's with a band management company. It's only updating they're facebook and promoting gigs, but they think I'll be good at the job with my forum experience.



It's just a hobby but may lead to more in the future and if not i'll make new contacts!

Cheers!



My manager asked if I'd like to be the new Stationary Rep in our team today too. Ordering booklets/envelopes, keeping upto date on the stock in the cupboard and ordering more when we need it etc. All adds to me CV

More wonderful news. It's about time good things start happening to you! Congratulations!!!!
 
The workout was harsh today, we upped the ante this week, adding a fourth gym-day, and basically tripling our activities. I have to say though, I have lost eighteen pounds, or at least, that's what it said the last time that I checked. I usually weigh myself at 3:40 P.M. on Mondays, however, this time, I weighed myself at 7:30 P.M. on a Friday, so that doesn't necessarily tell me the amount that I weigh. Ultimately, at the very least, I should be heavier at 7:30 P.M. because I am fuller, and have filled myself up with at least half a gallon of water by that time. Whatever the case, things are going very well with the exercising thus far, I just finished my twenty-five minutes on the treadmill, and yeah, feeling good. I hope that by June or July, I will have lost a total of 35-45 pounds, which might be a little bit overzealous considering the reason I am shedding off so quickly right now is because I am a beginner, and I haven't hit my plateau yet. After I get down to my goal-size which is one-hundred and ninety pounds, (I am 6'2 and have a very broad frame, that will actually be me skinny) I'll begin trying to put on muscle.

Good for you Nicholas. I admire your commitment and hopefully you'll reach your goal.
