So this week was really crappy for resolutions. It also was my busiest and most emotional week, but those are still excuses.
January is pretty much over and this is the point where most people stop having fuel to do their resolutions. While my week was extremely terrible and i think i forgot to post in my blog last week (im not sure my weeks are a bit of a blurr) I did realize one thing: We're all going to mess up sometimes, the key is to not give up when you mess up. The key is to regather everything, get back up, and start going again.
I was going to give a count by count how my progress on resolutions went but that would be a long and boring post.
I have a really hard time coming up with topics to talk about so if you have ideas or want my thoughts on something please comment or message me.
I'll try to come up with a topic and post more about it later.

Stuck in a plateau.
I was going to justify why i didn't post exactly during "the week" but it doesn't really matter. I did try once tho but i felt like my life was to boring to post about and that it would be boring to write about. I could also make the excuse of how i've been working on other resolutions but really excuses are just excuses. they don't make progress they hold you back from things.
This past week I managed to workout 8 times plus additional "sports" time. I though i ate reasonably healthy. But when it all came down to it I gained a pound. I know weight is just a number and that it really shouldn't affect how i feel but it does. I'm not bothered by the number. I'm bothered by the fact i've put in so much effort and didn't see results on the scale. I know if it were to actually do measurements I'm sure i probably lost inches and i know my Biceps grew a noticeable amount this week. Quite a few people told me they've been proud of my dedication. Seriously it's awesome people are proud of me, but what if I'm not proud of myself? I've been in the same 10 pound fluctuation since i came to school in september. This is probably just a plateau but when you loose 50+ pounds in 3 months then stay at the same weight for 3 you just get tired of being there and want to go back to losing the weight.
I guess that's all i have for now guys. Until next time i guess i'll just keep eating healthy and working out and hoping it works out better next week.

New Year, New Promises
Okay, So i completely failed to continue my blog once I got to school. Somehow i think we all saw that coming. But this is a new year and with the new year comes resolutions. I'm pretty sure the only resolution i made last year was to loose 25 pounds. I'm happy to say I almost tripled that number by loosing 70 pounds in 2011. Those are 70 lbs I will never see again.
I believe there's some form of accountability in writing things out and putting it on the internet. Like once you put it out there people see it and ask you about it and so you have to keep yourself accountable to do it because people might ask you how it is going and you don't want to say well actually i haven't been keeping up with my new year resolution.
So here is my list of New Year's Resolution to complete in 2012:
1. Loose another 50 pounds.
2. Work out three times a week and eat healthy (no matter what).
3. Write a blog post once a week.
4. Learn how to play 6 new songs on guitar.
5. Take a Risk (do something i normally wouldn't do)
6. Tell people more when I love and appreciate them
7. Say Yes more than I say No
8. Procrastinate less
9. Get 8 hours of sleep at least 4 nights a week.
10. Clean my room and do laundry once a week
11. Run a 5k (even if it's on the treadmill and not an actual race)
12. Travel somewhere i've never been before.
I figured 12 was a good number. there's 12 months in a year. it's the year 2012 (twenty-twelve). So i plan on keeping you updated and hope if you read this you will keep me accountable. So don't be afraid to ask me about my New Year resolutions when you see me and don't be afraid to call me out when i don't follow them. Wishing everyone a healthy and prosperous New Year.
