Stress is continuing here. My mother is telling Dej loads of crap, in an attempt to break apart our friendship, it would seem. She keeps dragging Dej into all this nonsense that is happening to us here, when she's hundreds of miles away from it. My family can't seem to get over anything, they just insist on bringing up old events over and over again. I'd rather let the past be just that, the past. At any rate, the stress is wreaking havoc on my mental state, I've had panic attacks all day because of it. Why can't we all just get along? >.<

Puh-lease. Families aren't supposed to get along, otherwise Roseanne wouldn't have been such a hit.
Your mother is a jealous, psycho, passive-aggressive, vindictive bitch. Accept that, and a lot of the stress will go away when you realize she'll never change. Mark and I did the same thing about a certain member of this household and although the situation itself has not and will never change, we don't let it bother us anymore. So she bitches, the sun rises too but we can't do anything about that.
For some people, the past will never pass. And there's nothing you can do about that.

I am starting to develop a love-hate with my new job. I love it cause its good, solid, hard work. I enjoy grunt work and the physical aspect of it. After work I'm feeling tired and burned out but I also leave with a sense of accomplishment. At the same time its getting frustrating cause we are getting soooo much stock in and the valve assemblers aren't making enough valves to accommodate the amount of stock we get in. One giant valve they make consists of about twelve LARGE pieces. And each piece itself is massive. So as a stores attendant I need to find a place in our warehouse to keep all these items. But they only can make two giant valves a week and yet we have enough pieces to make about 30 of em. As a result we are running out of space to put the stock. All of our shelves are packed to the brim with shit so we are starting to stack crates on the floor. We are basically creating one jenga tower after another on our stores floor and its becoming a safety concern. Nevermind that its frustrating as hell. But honestly, with the amount of valves they make per week, and the amount of stock we have, where do they expect us to put it all? What do they expect us to do with it? They need to stop ordering in parts, let assembly pump out as many valves as they can, then, when stock is starting to run out they can bring more in. Seems logical but it doesn't look like they will be doing that.
Oh well. Like I said, I enjoy working hard all day, and lifting heavy shit but I can't stand all the shuffling and stacking of crates and skids. Its getting tedious.

Whur the HELL is everbuddy?! Super busy here. Granny keeps me moving all day long, I'm the go-fetcher of the home. Go fetch all day long. But, I love her so I really don't mind it too much. What I do mind is "STEEEPH GO GET- ...NEVERMIND I FOUND IT!" I gotta go back on a diet. Eating healthy sucks. I miss my soda.

There is really nothing going on in my life right now. I work all day, go to the Y and workout, come home and read till bed time. Weekends have been kind of mundane recently. I'm thinking of picking up a second job at the Keg for weekends during the winter months. Just for something to do, really. If I'm going to be bored on weekends I might as well be making some extra money doing it. Eating healthy really sucks at first. And it can kick your ass if you're not used to it. But once your body gets used to it and your taste buds start getting accustomed to not eating salty, sugary stuff, you really start to crave healthy foods and life style. I love my healthy life style. I go to work (almost everyday) in a fantastic mood and full of energy. If its a slow day at work I actually get impatient cause I have all this energy and no way to spend it. So I usually find some menial task to do, like sweeping floors, or I'll even find a empty part of the warehouse with no people and do squats. Just for something to do. ;D

My god, I envy you. I wish I had energy. I don't. Each day, I drag around and have to force myself to do anything at all. XD

This is why a healthy life style is great. YES. it will kick your ass at first. But as you keep it up and the more accustomed you are to it the more you start to notice it. And it can make you happy too. Cardio activity helps your body release serotonin in the brain which makes you happy and full of life.

Ive been going to the gym lately. I feel amazing after a good workout. Last time I dieted I lost 80 pounds. We stopped in October to give ourselves a break. I ended up putting about 20 back on, which isn't bad. So we started Phase 2 now and I have lost the 20 I gained, plus another 6 now. The gym is helping a lot.
In October I will be going to days. 7am - 3:30pm. Its going to be a huge adjustment. Last time we were on days was when we started gaining the most weight. After work its easy to go eat out when everything is open. I am going to have to be strong and not give in to temptation.
In other news, I have been incredibly depressed lately. Maybe thats why the diet is going so well. I don't know whats wrong, but I do know on Thursday I almost punched my manager. I don't even know why I wanted to but I was in such a rage I had no control over anything. It was scary. I think I am better now, but its probably good he was off last night and will be tonight. I do know that here lately a lot of old wounds have been reopening. Things are very stressful and having all these thoughts from so long ago is not helping me. I don't know what to do.

I'm at the Y everyday after work. I love going! I do 30 minutes of treadmill (cardio) and 30 minutes of weight training. Everyday except weekends, although I still try and get some cardio in on the weekends. Its been great. I'm not trying to become a ripped, body building, muscle headed guy but I do want to have a nicely toned body. Looking good can make you feel good and I look (and feel) the best now than I ever have in my life. I still have some weight I need to shed (and some to put on). I currently am at 186 and when I started I was 260. I've lost a fuck ton and I love it. I should see if I can find some before and after shots of me. Cause it is definitely something I am proud of. Sorry you're so stressed, Kik. Damn that sucks. Maybe its time for a vacation? That helps. EDIT>> Okie dokie. This first pic was during the Mexico trip. I was already losing weight but I still had a few extra pounds. I was about 230 I think? My man boobs were sweating. It was fucking HOT that day. s11.photobucket.com/albums/a162/norfenstein/mexico/?action=view¤t=P9300155.jpg...and this next one was taken not long ago when we had the trip to BC to visit family. We saw a road side viewing area and snapped a few pics. I was about 190. i11.photobucket.com/albums/a162/norfenstein/P7220024.jpg;D

Yeah I had to think about the hair... I still think I prefer the Bald Norfy, but the hair looks good too. Still sexy as hell. You need to come to Oklahoma. We should have a party!

Kik and I are gonna fight over ya. Great job on the weight loss. You look terrific! ;D I am, unfortunately, still a lard ass. I weighed in at 350ish a few weeks ago, which is frankly, absolutely terrifying. So I'm cutting out the soda and drinking water again, and cutting back on my portion size and food intake in general. I have to figure out some way to exercise as well. Walking is sort of a no-go, my back pain prevents me from walking any length of time. Gotta do something inside. Need to eat, and Ryan says, "real food". Cut out the synthetic stuff the best I can. Just praying that when I lose weight, I don't end up looking like a sack of flesh. That will take extensive plastic surgery to fix. And I need a breast reduction, badly. Yes boys, less titties are a good thing.

Keeping the head shaved is a pain in the ass. I don't even shave my face all that often. Just on Sundays.
