Purgation

Purgation is described as the act of getting rid of something disagreable, or unsatisfactory. In that meaning, I need to start working out more. While my weight is down from the alcoholic bloat I had as little as a year ago, I am not satisfied. I see to many people of any age that have to be just too heavy. While my dad seems to think that working hard on the farm gets him enough excercise, I don't know to many skinny farmers, including my dad. I am seriously considering starting that p90x program after we get the crops in this fall. Until we get everything done, I am going to be working outside everyday as long as there is daylight. That may sound like an excuse, but around here we get busy and stay busy when we can. I will have little available time to hide in the house and do that. I am pretty excited about getting active and getting some results. My diet will have to change also. Currently I am not very active and don't eat much more than once a day. My appetite stays low. I may only eat in the evening once or twice a week. If I go out to eat, I will eat then, but usually stay satisfied by drinking fluids all day long. I may drink three gallons of milk, a gallon of orange juice, and two pitchers of kool aid a week. I am not to sure that all the sugar in those drinks is doing me any favors, but I really just need more activity. 

I would also like to talk about the progress upstairs in my house. I am now able to paint one of the walls in the first room at the top of the stairs. My uncle came over the other day and was able to investigate some of the electrical work. I am wanting to fix the one room so I can move my bedroom and closet upstairs. The other finished room upstairs has wood paneling walls. I am not to keen on that design, but am going to let it go for now. I think I may just put some rails up in there and make a big walk in closet out of it. Currently most of my clothes are hanging up in my bathroom closet, which is not the most appealing place to have clean clothes. I have an armoire that I keep all my dress shirts and ties for subbing in. I also have to many shoes laying around downstairs and need a place to keep them out of sight. I have about 15 different pairs of shoes, but I don't wear some of them very often at all. My newest pair is a pair of pumas that are scarlet and grey. They are not quite as grey as ohio states colors, but close enough for me. 

My birthday is coming up august 10th, so I thought I would make a wish list for my 27th birthday. This will also function as my christmas wish list since everything on here is an unlikely gift. 
- a 35 ton log splitter from tractor supply company
- a leaf vaccum type of thing from tsc so I don't have to rake leaves
- wii sports resort and a 2nd wii motion plus accessory
- a borders gift card
- p90x
- a new armoire
-a pair of osu football tickets to any game, home or away

That should suffice for now.

  1. I have been walking, eating better, and taking vitamins and so far I've lost 5 pounds. I would like to lose about 10 more, but I am working on it. I also just got put on a waitlist for the Wii fit, so once I get that, I will be using that as well.
