Real Estate Career!!

I passed my exam back on the 9th of August and now I am just waiting for the Department of Real Estate... DRE to send me the packet so that I can apply for my license!  I HATE WAITING!!! I really want to start working Real Estate! There is so much potential for me there but I can not tap into it until I start, part of me is frustrated because a clerical error pushed me back by over a month.  Century 21 wants me to attend a class 12-5 for 1 week.  There is only one problem with that, I work 230-8 and obviously can not be in 2 places at once.  I do not get anymore vacation time until after 9/25 but then it does not matter because the rest of the year is either full or blacked out for vacations.  That means if they do not let me start without taking that class then I can not start until next year. That would totally suck because I originally planned on starting in July.  Then due to clerical error that changed to September, and now it might be pushed back to January!!! I want to start!!  Well I am expecting a phone call from Century 21 today, so I will find out for sure if I can start as soon as I officially get my license! Wish me luck!!

Start Over

Well Im going to have to start P90x over, I want to go full 90 days exercising, and I have pretty much not done phase 2.  So now I have  to decide when to start over.  If I start over now, I will have to somehow figure out how to workout on vacation, where as if I start over July 25th there are no interruptions. I want to get my body to look like the trainer from Extreme Makeover Weight Loss Edition.  If anyone has any advice on how to get this done please let me know. I know im not as bad as some people weight wise but for me im over being this way. As of right now I am 181.2 lbs and my stomach is 34 inches.  My BMI is 25.37 and 27.2lbs are body fat.  My goal for my birthday is to hit 179.9, I should be able to do it its 1.3lbs in 2 weeks.

LIfe cont....

I dont know if im going to be able to finish P90x on schedule, I missed 1 week due to injuring a muscle, then I came back for 1 day then missed 4 days because I have had the most horrible tension headache.  I wanted to finish before my anniversary vacation which is july 18th, but I have now missed 3 weeks due to illness/injury.  Now I can either put the past weeks aside and continue at 110% or I can start over and I would have to do my exercises through my anniversasry vacation.  I don't what to do...I want to continue and see what my final stats are, but at the same time I could get a better phase 1 workout now that I have actual weights to use...help me decide!

Frustration

Phase 2 Im doing horrible, I am back to 183lbs and up to 15% body fat.  I only did 2 execises this week. MONDAY AND TUESDAY.  I missed Wed-Thurs because I had a horrible pain in my chest like I strained a muscle.  It hurt to breath so I didnt want to push myself.  I have to get back on track though.  I think I am going to do some Kenpo and maybe some Ab Ripper X today then get back onto my schedule of what I am suppose to do daily. Its hard forcing myself to workout by myself.  I have made a few bad choices recently nutrition wise and that is going to have to stop.  Starting Monday NO MORE SODA AT ALL FOR ME!  Also I need to make sure NO JUNK FOOD gets in this house at all!!!!  Phase 2 ends  June 12th so i have time to turn this phase around.

Wish me LUCK!!

Weight Loss

Yay I have lost 3 lbs and am currently 183! Only 3 more pounds and Im in the heathly weight range but 23 more to my goal!

Weight Watchers for Men

Ok in an effort to eat more healthy I am signing up with weight watchers for men.  I understand that this alone will not make me lose weight, but what I am trying to accomplish with this is to eat healthier and eliminate the foods that are not good.  I know some people will probably think im crazy for this because I have eliminated soda completely and I have now decided to eliminate POWERADE, mainly due to the fact that it is very high in sodium.  I have a jug that holds 2.3 liters of water and that is all I will be drinking from now on, just good old water... Now I would be able to exercise more if I had someone to do it with, seeing it as I dont I am trying to find ways to exercise on my own, wish me luck!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Im so mad!!

Im so mad I could break something! I don't know why my weight goes up so much. Its driving me crazy.  I just want to say sorry to everyone who I always made fun of for not being able to lose weight. I am also sorry for teasing people about how I was so skinny.  I miss my 155 days.  Damn this epilepsy!!! Since I was diagnosed with it my weight has gone up 30 lbs.  For the first time ever I think I might hit 190 and I dont want to.  I know I use to say that I really wanted to gain weight, well I changed my mind I dont....I want my 155 cant gain or lose life back. F*** this epilepsy!!!! Stupid medication makes me want to eat more and I DONT LIKE IT!!!!!! I just want to scream!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

My weight is up!!!

No longer 12 weeks

Well its been a very long time since I posted last, and I feel that has part to do with the fact that I will not be hitting my 12 week goal.  It saddens me very much.  In the month of February I gained 7lbs and so far in March I havent really lost any.  This is my weight chart http://www.weightchart.com/member.aspx?u=bancell5

This will be my new chart that I will be sharing with everyone....If I can get comments back to know that someone cares about me getting heathly it would really help me alot.  Oh and my new goal is to be 165 by 7/2/2011

Jan 31 and Feb 1

Ok so I have been horrible, all I have done these 2 days is count my calories....I need to get back into exercising and posting every day.  I just seem to be so busy that I cant find the time, I dont excercise in the morning because I am not fully awake, but then I don't have time in the day to do it.  I need to do something aerobic, something to make me sweat...alot....any ideas other than walking my dog then let me know.  Hopefully until tomorrow.. =)

Jan 29 and Jan 30

Ok so exercising is tough I try to stay up with it but im on my own with this and I dont know what to do...my body is getting tired from doing it so its hard...I notice that my stomach is getting firm but I still have the layers of fat over it...I dont know what I can do to get rid of that fat, doing the crunches is just going to make the stomach more firm but it wont get rid of the fat over the muscles...IDK I guess Ill surf the web to see what I can find.

Jan 28

Man I did not do good yesterday at all, I went to Chili's for lunch which calories wise I probably shouldnt have done.  I did enjoy going to lunch with my wife but it cost me.  My lunch was over 2000 calories which is just shy of the 2100 that I have set for my daily intake.  I counted my calories again, which I ended up getting close to 4000 which wouldnt have been so bad but all the excersise that I did was my 300 crunches.  I told myself that today I would be extra good and get alot of exercise done today.  Wish me luck

Jan 27

All I did was my calorie count and 300 crunches....I need to get back into doing more exercises!!

Jan 26

Did my 300 crunches, but that was it didnt do any other workouts....I did however count my calories yesterday and I was able to keep it about 2000.  Calorie counting has become very easy, now I just need to find some exercises that I enjoy doing, and also find some time to do them.

Jan 25

I did  300 crunches, weighed myself and I have lost some weight YAY!! I am now 178....just 13 lbs away from my goal...I have until APRIL 12 to get there so we will see....Im not going to do the dancing exercises right now because I am burned out on listening to the same songs everyday.  So I am going to do exercises on wii fit, and maybe more on my biggest loser game.  This is hard to do when you have little to no support, hopefully that will change, I know by getting my health back in line I will feel better so thats enough support for me.  Well wish me luck as I continue to attempt to get to 165 and get rid of my stomach fat.

Jan 24

Ok so today I was a little better than NFL SUNDAY.  I did 200 crunches and did dance exercises for 30 mins.  I think im going to have to switch out the dancing for something else because doing dancing 5 days a week I have kind of burned myself out of listening to the songs that it provided.  I think Im going to do a little more work with wii fit or biggest loser workout we will see..until tomorrow

Jan 23 NFL Playoffs

Ok I was horrible, didnt do any exercises, no crunches, didnt do any calorie count, nothing, hopefully it doesnt hurt want im going for.  I think if I had someone to go on my journey with me it would make it easier for me to work on it.  Unfortunately I dont, so i have to make this journey on my own.

Jan 22

Yesterday I kept track of my calories did great, I also did 40 minutes of full body workout then 40 minutes of my dance workout.  I only did about 150 crunches though.  With football being today I have not been good but maybe that will change......

Jan 21- Temptations!

I just realized that keeping my calories in check is going to be harder then I thought.  Yesterday I went to Wal Mart to return a few things and then on my way back home Karissa wanted donuts for breakfast so I went and got them.  Of course seeing my favorite donuts there I ended up getting 2 because I love the taste of them so much.  Well having those donuts ended up making me go 400 calories over what I was suppose to be for the day.  Well I learned that if im going to get to the weight that I want Im not going to be able to eat what I want when I want.  I did keep up on my days exercises though, 300 crunches and 40 minutes of Just Dance 2, well today I have more exercises to do, I havent noticed any results yet but hopefully the next time that I weight in I notice a change....

Jan 20

Day 2: I went on wii fit to get my "starting weight" and it is 181.  I need to lose 16 lbs.  I set up my Biggest Loser wii game so that I can keep track of my daily calorie intake as well as do workouts and challenges.  I also spent 40 mins doing Just Sweat on JUST DANCE 2.  I also did 450 crunches today.  I just need to make sure that I keep up with this because this is just the beginning.

Jan 19

All that I was able to do yesterday was 300 crunches.  I know by just doing crunches I wont lose all the weight that I am trying to so in the days to come I will do more.

Starts 1-19-2011

A few years ago I was diagnosed with epilepsy and that has changed my life.  Every day I have to take medication to ensure that I do not have any seizures.  OK so before I get the the details of my challenge I'll give you some info about myself.  I am 5'11" and before I was diagnosed with epilepsy I weighed 150 and it was very easy for me to control my weight, the only down side is I was able to eat what ever I wanted when ever I wanted.  So I know some people would think what are you complaining about, I cant lie I use to love it, but I was not heathly at all and since my diagnosis I have gained 35 pounds and I cant seem to stop.  I have made a few changes that seem to have slowed down my weight gain but I still keep gaining weight. As of 1/19 I am going to do what ever I can for the next 12 weeks to see if I can change my life around.  I will post picture updates once a week showing the progress that I make.  My dad even told me that if I can make my goal he will take me out to dinner to celebrate.  I will also post what exercising I was able to do daily so at the end I can see what I did.  Wish me luck on my journey!
