Not only did I not go on a diet. . .

I tried to grow a beard. . .

So I was thinking I should have went on a diet, but instead I just ate a lot of sweets this weekend. So that diet went very well. But I did have another great weekend ^_^. 2009 has been one of the best years to date! I am actually living up to my New Years resolution, although I can't say I honestly remember what all my resolution entailed since I was pretty drunk when I made it, but I am living up to the parts I do remember quite nicely. The parts I do remember were being more "outgoing", as well to try and stop over analyzing things, and just let what happens, happen. At first I started off very reserved and I was thinking this year was going to be just like last year. 

Like when I was talking to Jazzy for those few weeks I was pretty reserved, and I was thinking oh great I am going to blow this. And guess what I did ^_^. I should have been bummed about it, but I wasn't! I tried it was good for awhile then it was all over, had to move on, no use dwelling on anything beyond my control. But I did learn a little bit from that situation, and what I learned was to just try my luck in situations more than I usually do. And since then I would say some great things have come about! I hope my good luck will continue when I go to Tokyo. 

In other news I tried to grow a beard but ended up giving up on the whole thing. Some things will never change (sigh). Maybe one day I will have that full beard I dream of.

Should I go on a diet!?!

Note: picture taken when I weighed 140 lbs.

So a lot has been going on since my last post not because I have been living some crazy acidic lifestyle, but rather because my last post was awhile ago. So on Thursday my bike was built up enough to ride so I went for a ride with a few friends both of which were exhausted to the point of throwing up, but I was just fine I might have been breathing slightly harder but I was completely fine. I want to say two factors caused my friends to be so out of breath A.) They were on freewheel bikes which are a bitch to ride (heavy, unresponsive, just all out crappy) and B.) One of my friends hadn't ridden a bike in awhile. Well going into Thursday night there was a cycling party most of the bikes were fixed gear bikes my friend was on his mountain bike so that is why I say "cycling" party instead of a fixed gear party plus there could have been a few a freewheels in there as well. I have NEVER seen soo many fixed gear bikes in one house it was lovely. And to make the night even better the keg was Bosco's beer I haven't mentioned this before but I absolutely loveeeee Bosco's beer you have to come down here to get it though since it's brewed in the restaurant/bar and it's super fresh and tasty! So the fact there was bikes and Bosco's overshadow the fact it was largely a sausage fest haha. But I mean I don't even know too many girls outside of Japanese girls who ride bikes so yea. 

Going into friday I was still partying pretty hard so hard in fact that I lost my phone. Then I kept on partying hard on saturday. So I am taking a hiatus for the rest of this month because I also got my credit card bill and I have been partying a bit to hard I spent like $400 or something going out eating and drinking. Yea it isn't pretty :(

So I have been trying to step up my workouts and get ready for my return to Japan! But I weighed myself yesterday after working out and the scale read 144 to my knowledge this is the heaviest I have ever been in my life (although when I was on that chocolate almond binge I could have weighed more). But then I also like to think I am in the best shape of my life so I am not sure if I should scale back on my eating or not. I mean it's not like I am sitting around eating cheeseburgers everyday. I eat healthy about 80% of the time I will eat the occasional muffin or cookie (hey I got a sweet tooth).  So I went here to calculate my Body Mass Index (BMI) and for my height (5'10") and my weight (144 lbs.) I came out with 20.7 . Average for that height and weight is 18.5 - 24.9 so I am average so that is good. But BMI isn't the best measurement of general health so I want to go to the doctor to get my Body fat percentage test, an STD test, and possibly find out my blood type (so I will know when asked this question in Japan). So what do you guys think should I go on a diet and work out more or am being obsessively healthy.
