Day 2 (and Day 1, I guess)

I guess technically, if we're going by Japanese time, this would be the third day. But because I'd rather make it look like I've only missed one day instead of three, and because it is still Day 2 in this time zone, I've labeled it as such.

Also, I'm throwing in a Little about Day 1.

Anyway, a little about me. I'm an 18 year old (soon to be 19) high-school graduate. I've taken the past year off to get myself together and in the fall I'm starting college. Community College. Kind of a bummer but I suppose that's what I get for screwing around all through high-school. My plan is to grind through the courses there as fast and as well as possible and then transfer, hopefully abroad, where I can study and master as many foreign languages as possible. Right now I know English and very poor Russian. Eventually I hope to master Russian, along with Portuguese, Mandarin, Arabic, French, Italian, Czech, German, and Greek - all this with the hopes of being a translator at the end of it.

I dunno, I guess that's all there really is to know about me. Other things I like are video games, sci-fi shit, most other classic nerd things, and humor. I also love philosophy. For me the term "philosophy" is very very large, and I take the meaning of the word literal, "the love of knowledge". To give you some perspective on what I mean, I often debate philosophy of mind with my friends and right now i'm listening to a lot of Terence McKenna talks. And this post is getting too long. I never really like describing myself because being the narcissist that I am I always get wrapped up in the subject, and at the end I always feel like there is so much I left out. So I guess these are the basics.

On to the actual project. Since I'm such a skinny bastard, Patrick recommended that I do a 3/4 diet instead of 1/2. I guess you can say I've been doing somewhere in between for a couple reasons. One because It occcured to me that I do in fact have really large portions. And two because my portion size and how much and when I eat is usually erratic, so It makes getting anywhere close to 3/4 of what I eat kind of hard. 1/2 is a bit easier and I guess as long as I'm hungry. Aside from trying to be exact, cutting back my food has been real easy.

For the exercise, everything has been a breeze, except for the jump ropes. For the past year I've had a particularly bad habit where I just happen to inhale a certian kind of smoke for recreation with friends and then play xbox 360. And while my memory is fine (probably actually sharper, ironically) my lungs have definitely suffered. And this is even more apparent. As for the other exercises, they were easy. I remember a few years ago I could bang out 30 push ups in one set, and right after that do 40 sit ups. The squats and lunges were a breeze too because for all of May I've been riding my bike around and it has had an obvious effect.

I look at day seven's exercise and I can hear my lungs sobbing.

Well, that's it. Day 1 and 2 kind of combined. I'd go more into my motivations, more of who I am, and my impressions of my fellow PCPers (don't worry, they're all positive), but this post is already too long, and there's always tomorrow.
