  • Day two

    Today, I didn't get near as much done as I expected. I expected to set up an appointment or call my mechanic at least but it didn't work out. I tried to fill out some forms and take a picture for my US passport to make the process go easier, but I don't have any color ink. I decided that I might as well wait till I get to my girlfriend's dorm, use her color ink, and go to hear post office to schedule an appointment.

    At least I tried...a little bit.

    I went for a run -- I ran further than I expected, but I was tired as shit. I recently found out that my neighborhood is almost a mile around, 0.8 miles according to Google maps, and I figured that I'd just count it as a mile since there's a big ass hill. According to that, I ran about 3/4 of a mile which is pretty amazing considering I haven't ran or did ANY physical exercise within the past year or so. I also lifted my lawn-mower a couple times and flipped a 100+ pound concrete staircase piece for about 10 minutes. I'm feeling pretty good, actually. It's very comforting to know that I'm doing something healthy for my body, and I won't be losing much more of my muscle as quickly since I'll be doing more upper-body work outs and what not. I'm not going to weigh myself or anything like that because I've always been a bulky kind of dude. 185...215...makes no difference to me.

    My diet is pretty much going to stay the same right now because I don't want to jump into everything at once. Take it slow, you know? No point in rushing because I won't see immediate results in a while anyways.

    I get to sleep in today, and I don't plan on being productive. I got work at 3, and I'm gonna wake up whenever the hell I feel like. Hell, I might not even set my alarm clock.

    I'm feeling pretty good.
