315.4

So it's been a while...

To be completely honest, I went off the diet a few days. I had In-and-Out, Taco Bell and was really stupid. I was so embarrassed to post things on this blog about how I was "cheating" on the diet, but I realized that I need to come clean and be true to why I'm doing this. Its for me to keep track of myself and what I do, regardless if its detrimental to my weight loss journey. I feel dumb for doing that. I had fun with my friends, but it was working against what I've been working hard to achieve. It was a waste of money and time.

I'm now at 315.4 which is 13 pounds lost from when I started the blog. That's pretty good, but I can do better. If I had not had those tacos or the burger, I would have been that much closer to my goal.

Since summer school has ended (thank God), I've been relaaaaaaxing. The reason I put so many "a's" in relaxing is because I have been relaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaing. I'll stay up really late, get up really late then go to work. I feel well rested and more energetic which is a good thing.

I've been catching up with my friends and trying to stay in the loop. I'm glad I have been because summer is drawing to a close. ALREADY!!! I can't believe it. The older and older I get, the faster and faster life seems to go. As I look back on this summer, I feel like I could have done more. I did work and catch up with my amazing friends, but I wish I did more with music. I didn't have any gigs and I didn't write as much as I wanted to. I said at the end of last year I was going to come back with a book full of new songs. I have maybe 2. That's not a book...That's a pamphlet.

I'm hoping to break the 300 pound mark before going back to Boston at the end of this month. I need to buckle down and work hard to get there. It'll be hard, but it's what needs to happen.

I haven't taken a part of my blog to thank my readers (friends). Thank you all from the bottom of my heart! I didn't think that people would really be into this, but I've gotten a great response so far. All of the feedback I've received has really motivated me to keep going and I can't thank all of you enough. Thank you, thank you very much.

Musically Yours,

Mario
