some cool stuff here. i definitely want to get lifting again. i've decided this summer i'm getting back into shape. well, it'll probably take more than this summer to get where i ultimately want to be, but i've pushed myself into getting a lot better.

i'm probably not eating perfect. i should be eating more, i usually eat about 3x/day, sometimes some snacks in between. but, i am eating MUCH healthier than i have been.

although i am curious, how important is it to hit your target calorie/fat intake per day? i have no idea how many calories i'm eating, but fat wise i'm probably right now around 15g/day, roughly. and, is starchy stuff really that bad for you? i've been eating a lot of rice and pastas.

for excercise, i got out jogging/walking at least once a day, for a little over a mile. sometimes i go 2x/day, but i've only been doing this for a couple weeks, so i don't want to overdo it yet. but, i have started to see some good results already. and i'm more driven now when i started. it's also an excellent mind-clearer and stress reliever. it's amazing what it can do for the mind. sometimes lately i've been going bezerk, then i go out for a run and i come back considerably more calm and clear-headed than when i left.

i want to get back into the gym, but i think i'll wait until i get closer to my target wieght. i think it will be better to get my diet properly adjusted and lost the weight before putting it back on - wether it's muscle or not.
