  • time for me...

    Well, treatment will be over tomorrow. Then starts the hard part. The part where I'm supposed to go out and do all of this by myself. I know I can do it.

    Part one of my plan to get better is to exercise more and eat right. Again, I know I can do it. I've done it before. It's amazing how much what I eat affects how I feel.

    This morning I'm running 6 miles. My weight today is 158.8lbs.

    Nothing much to say. Have a good one.

  • Healing...

    Hi, I've been gone for a while.

    I've been back in treatment for my depression, which returned with a vengeance a few months ago and I kept ignoring it, until it became clear to me that I needed help. So for the last 3 weeks I've been in treatment as an outpatient at a phsychiatric hospital. I'll be done with treatment next week. My doctor said that I will not be released to go back to work, which I'm absolutely ok with. I'm done with flying anyway.

    I didn't get the job that I had interviewed for at the foundation. They invited me for a second interview, but after that I didn't get it. It's ok. I'm going to take time to heal before I start thinking about working again.

    I'm still training for the marathon, which is probably the only thing that is keeping me sane right now. Only 85 days!!!! I can't believe it, time flies!

    I'm going to Philadelphia for the holiday weekend, my girl bought a condo and moved in last night, so I'm going to go help organize stuff. It will be fun. I haven't seen the new place yet.

    I'll do my best to post and comment more often.

    Enjoy the holiday weekend!

  • Day 1

    Starting weight: 155.6 lbs.

    Haven't left the house yet. Didn't sleep so well last night. Relationship drama. I think we are probably done. Things got so heated over the weekend and last night when we tried to talk things out again, that we decided to take time to think about things and talk again next week, on the 13th or 14th. Of course, before last night, I didn't want to talk to her or email her, because I was just drained, but now that she is not being clear on what she wants to do I want nothing but to talk to her and see how she's doing and know what she's thinking, I know, stupid. But I won't. I'll respect my need for space as well as hers. After all, I do need some time to think. It's been 9 months, but we are both going through some major changes individually. Me with the job thing and plans to go to school, and for her is other, very personal stuff that I won't discuss here. We are facing the fact that we are in a long distance relationship and that if I get this job and start going to school it will stay that way for over the next three years, so we don't know if that's something that we are willing to do. We'll see.

    So after waking up at 4 am, I fell asleep again at around 6:30 and just woke up a few minutes ago. I had yogurt with fruit and granola for breakfast and I'm now having some more coffee. The first one I brewed this morning wasn't strong at all! I think at around 9:30 or 10 I'll head over to the gym.

    It looks really beautiful outside, maybe I'll spend some time down at the park later with my book.

    Have a good one!

  • Starting over tomorrow

    ARGH!

    Yes, you've heard it before, and here it goes again. Starting over, yet again, tomorrow. I need to be good to myself. I need to stop this insanity.

    Here's the plan:

    1200 cals/day
    workout 6x/week
    1gallon of water/day
    wish me luck
