Gnivil ot Eid

starting on Monday, I've been eating more protein and going to the gym every day:
Every other day I lift weights.
Every day I dont lift weights I run and do some sort of cardio.
The workouts are all short and intense.

As a result i've already lost around 5 lbs, I'm lifting about 20 lbs more than I was a while ago. Sergey is doing the same thing as I am. We plan on doing this throughout the summer so we are in shape for next year.

I did this a year ago, and lost 40+ lbs doing it -- and I've managed to keep it all off and continue to shape up. So it is an efficient way to get yourself in shape.

Schools almost out. I have the rest of this week + next monday and tuesday followed by some half days. The week after school lets out I am going to Dane's lakehouse near Anderson for a week with some buddies of mine. There is a big lake, a house, and a boat there so hopefully i'll be relaxed and brown by the time I come back (I tan really easily because of the portuguese in my blood).

My stress levels are dropping, I only have a couple exams I have to worry about and I realized yesterday that I will most likely do fine on them If I dont get anxiety and forget stuff like I normally do. I've been taking life easy and just enjoying things. When I drive-- I always have a window open and just drive slow enjoying the beautiful scenery. People never smile anymore or slow down enough to enjoy their surroundings; until I started slowing down recently I never realized how beautiful everything is. For once I think i'm glad to be alive.

I'm really exhausted right now though. This workout schedule does have its flaws, it is very taxing on you physically. I am going to rest for tomorrow.
