Haven’t been getting enough sleep lately.  Really ought to load up on eye wrinkle creams with the way I’ve been going.  I mean, I know I need the sleep and I AM tired when I hit my bed, but I just can’t seem to just FALL ASLEEP.  I end up turning on the TV and watching National Geographic.  The TV goes to sleep before I do, for crying out loud.

I actually feel like it’s already negatively affecting my health!  I’m sleepy during the day, I’m not able to lift as much weight.. all those little things.  No energy.  Just totally sapped out.

You know what would make me fall asleep really fast?  Sitting in on my high school English teacher’s class!

That never gets old!  OK, it DOES get old sometimes, but it’s still fun rubbing it in to your friends from the Arneo.  Frankly, I think it was just luck that DLSU was able to pull that one out.  I really had my money on Ateneo crushing DLSU, but the Green Archers played some really scrappy basketball, and sometimes, scrappy is enough to win it all.

Either way, it’s always fun to see how emotional Ateneans get whenever they lose a basketball game.  Don’t worry about it, guys.  The DLSU people may be prettier and better at sports, but at least you’re smarter!  Isn’t that all that counts?  Or is that UP who says that?

OH MAN I had so much steak.  I am stuffed.  Got to love carbohydrate loading weekends.  You start eating and keep going until you can’t anymore.  Makes Mondays all the more refreshing when I have to restrict my carbohydrates once again.

I wish I had some fruit in the house, though.  Weekends are the only time I can have them, so I want to take advantage.  I only have.. ten hours left before I go back to the diet, so I better get started looking for them.  I want some jack fruit.  Maybe mangoes?  Problem is, it’s raining cats and dogs so I can’t really go out and buy anything.

Man, I am going to eat so much again for my next meal, I better start looking at some apidexin reviews.

I can’t wait until they get started building the new house.  I’m so going to make sure we actually have modern furniture.  Right now, our house has furniture that looks like it’s from the 1960s.  Seriously.  It’s time for a change, man.  Got to get with the now!

I guess besides new furniture, I don’t really want much from the new house.  Maybe a small place for my weights, and a basketball court.  If I can get those things, I’ll be very happy.  See?  I don’t ask for much!

Then again, knowing my family we will probably turn our brand new house into a MESS.  It’s going to be like the Bermuda Triangle where all things get lost for no reason whatsoever.  I mean, I’m thinking I’m going to break the curse, but I seriously doubt we can still change how the folks are.

Basketball was really great the other night!  I felt like a tank!  All that lifting is really paying off.  I feel like the guys guarding me when I go running on the fast break need term life insurance quotes.  I feel THAT strong, like they better get out of the way.

I felt pretty comfortable heading to the basket.  Taking contact wasn’t a problem, and I got to the line a few times, which was great!  Got to love having referees around!  They really add a whole different dimension to the game.  I was pretty happy with how the calls went; for once, the officials got it right!  At the end of the day though, all that matters is we won all the games.  You know what separates the winners from the losers?

The score.

I totally stuffed myself silly tonight.  I must have eaten almost eight thousand  calories’ worth of food.  I can’t say I regret it though; that was some tasty stuff!  I think it was probably the three cups of rice that got to me.  After that third cup hit the bottom of my stomach, I was done for the night.  Or at least that’s what I thought.

Except the guys ordered pizza and I’ve never been one to turn down a slice or four.  So I ended up eating about thrice for dinner, and I even had dessert!  Those cupcakes will be the death of me yet.  Maybe I should asking about where I can get some apidexin.  Feel like I gained 10 pounds tonight!

I realized I haven’t been listening to that much rap lately.  My iPod has been playing mostly Dave Matthews Band stuff these past few weeks.  I wonder why.  I mean, I used to love rap.  I used to be able to rap every Kanye West song from “Jesus Walks” to “Diamonds are Forever.”

Maybe I just need new material to listen to.  I mean, Kanye was cool.  Lupe was awesome.  Jay-Z was pretty heavy, and Killer Cam was smooth.  I need something new.  Then again, I could always get back to listening to some Tupac.  That never gets old.  

Either way, I no longer need rap to pump me up before basketball games.  I’ve learned that Michael Jackson works just fine for that.

It was pretty crazy last night, seeing the old guys all together again.  Everybody looks way different now.  I mean, Mike looks like he’s lost a ton of weight.  John is now a heck of a lot taller than I am, and I don’t think I would ever see Rich not having long hair.

They all had their stories to tell of course.  Mike’s been working out and taking diet pills like you wouldn’t believe.  Rich’s girlfriend likes clean cut guys.  John.. Well, he’s just lucky he’s got good genes.  Yeah, I’m jealous.

At the end of the day though, it was good to see everybody again.  We should really get together more often, but then again life always has other plans.  Either that or we’re just not as close as we think we are.

In the past month, I’ve lost an inch off of my stomach and 5 pounds.  I’m sure you’re all dying to just find out how I did it, and the answer might surprise you.

Here’s the secret: Just eat right.  I’m sure a room full of gym equipment and the best weight loss pills around will help, but nothing beats just simply eating right.  If you feel like you’re full, stop eating.  By now, you should know when you’ve had enough.

That’s probably not what you want to hear, but there’s no shortcut.  Sure there are things that could help, like pills and whatnot, but at the end of the day, it’s all about calories in versus calories out.

It’s been a really successful couple of weeks for my weight loss diet.  I know most of you guys read this blog for the quick weight loss tips, but let me tell you: weight loss isn’t supposed to be quick.  Ideally, you should only be losing maybe 2 pounds every week, at maximum.

By keeping your weight loss moderate, there is a greater chance that you are preserving lean body mass, more commonly known as muscle.  Nobody wants to be skinny.  Everybody wants to look ripped.  You don’t get that beach model look by starving yourself and dropping 20 pounds in a month.  That’s just not how it works.
