Yeah, my laptop crashed. So here I am trying gto type on a phone. It is not like I cannot just use my brother's computer. I can, I used it to check ESPN earlier and then I had to play moshi monsters "for" my niece. I am not even sure why I am doing this, I do not update regularly. Noone is expecting me to. blah blah blah meaningless rambling <!- legitimate thoughts on interesting conversations ->
That pretty much sums all it up right there. The only thing left is for me to do is fall asleep. Good night, talk to you again very soon.

Bleurgh
It has been a while I know. I was contemplating writing something the other day, after I found out (facebook) my brother's dog died. Easily one of my top favorite dogs of all time. He liked getting his ears rubbed and he would also sit on my feet and I would rub his neck with my toes. He also liked to sit beside me while I watched TV. It is really difficult to believe he is actually gone. I haven't seen him in so long; my brother lives in Iowa. Last time I visited, it did not even occur to me that he might not be around the next time I came to visit. However, he was getting pretty old; even if I still imagine him as a puppy sometimes. Obviously, for those avid readers that check my blog for new posts daily (there are thousands of you, I know) I did not write anything. Instead I stayed up all night listening to music on youtube. That is not an exaggeration I turned my alarm off about 3 seconds after it went off and after the song I was listening to finished, I got out of bed and started my day. I was tired. I am still somewhat tired. I took a 5 hour energy today and that is pretty stupid, because I know those things are questionable about making me less tired immediately, but they do keep me up at night. I am not even kidding; if I want to stay up late, I can take one at 8 am and I won't be able to go to sleep until 3 am that night. Like right now, I am not tired, but my alarm will be going off in about 5 hours.
Well anyhow. One day soon, I'll write again. I need to get some sleep, wish me luck.

It's a New Day (Eleventh)
In my post from yesterday, Conquering a Cottage Cheese Bagel, I shared that I had started working out ten days ago. I thought today was as good a day as any to talk about how I am feeling, probably should have done this more often; but maybe I will more in the future.
Right now I am making breakfast just got back from about 45 minute workout followed by roughly an hour playing basketball (by the end of the hour I was only playing every other play)! I played terrible; could not find my shot. I also got a blister on my ankle, these low cut socks are too low for my new work out shoes. I will either have to bring taller socks or bring my other pair of shoes to play ball in. I grabbed a bagel for breakfast this morning, that means I am doing the cottage cheese thing again today, I have not even double checked the nutrition guide yet! As far as my method goes: I am not really counting my calories, I will get into that later; right now if I just start eating better, not stopping at McDonald's for an Egg McMuffin and two breakfast burritos, it will be a massive improvement. Anyway on the menu: One whole grain bagel, one egg (no salt or pepper -- I don't own any haha), lowfat pineapple cottage cheese, small cup of orange juice, and small cup of milk. Cutting the bread out of the inside of one half the bagel to fill it with the cottage cheese. Probably could make a better/healthier breakfast, but like I said yesterday I just went to the store two mornings after reading the nutrition guide and I never made any plan (also on a tight budget).
My legs are weak; I feel like curling up in a ball and getting a few more hours of sleep. It is getting harder to wake up at 4:30-5:00 am; of course, last night I was staying up too late playing this moshi monster's game to level my nieces monster pets and get them extra spending points (Rox). They spend way too many rox for my liking, but yet I keep earning them more. My throat has a little discomfort from running up and down the basketball court, leaving me with the feeling of being winded. My arms are sore, but if my legs felt like my arms I would be a very happy person. Before I ate breakfast my stomach was feeling queasy, almost like I was going to lose all the water I drank this morning. As much as this all sounds like whining, I feel better. After the first week, I never really felt a lot of soreness. I think that has a lot to do with the amount of work I am able to put in, it is increasing. My form is improving. Even after the first day, I did not feel sore and I went as hard as I could: I did not really understand the work out then and I was trying to keep up with the pace without taking a break. Now that I have seen a few more videos, I know when you get tired and your form gets sloppy take a break and get back into it. On the first day I was throwing up stomach acid, I know it is disgusting. At this point, it is starting to become more effective, I am doing more and not feeling anywhere near as bad.
Well I actually finished breakfast a while ago, the cottage cheese was easier on me this morning. I opened my mouth wide and chomped the bagel with my tongue retracted. At one point I chewed it normally and it did get me a little bit, but as with everything else. I am definitely seeing some progress.
Tomorrow is on me. Nobody to workout with at 5am. Will I dig deep and get up on my own? Maybe I will just do it after I wake up at a normal time. Thanks for listening, I have got to go now. Take care, until next time.
