Rants about the Butcher Shop. (aka the Dentist)

So today I went to the dentist and noticed a couple things that seemingly got on my nerves.

First, why is it that every time i go to the dentist, im always trying to friendly and yet the nurse will never speak to me until she has 8 different tools in my mouth. all the sudden my awesome jokes and one liners turn into a mix of, "uhhsdjhdskj" and "yehhes." i must say its kinda annoying. why dont you ask me important questions when my mouth isnt being turned into the sequel for "Hostel." Thanks.

Second, if your gonna have your hand all up in my mouth and face for the next hour, how about getting gloves that dont smell like condoms. no offense but as a man, i dont want to be smelling condoms while there is something in my mouth. its just wrong and when i leave im forced to feel violated. how about getting some mint or new car smell gloves. i could live with that.

thanks for taking the time to read. im gonna go try to band aid my gums now.

Work, School, and Other Updates You've Been Waiting For.

Hey blogger friends! Long time no talk.

So first and foremost, Work. I didnt get the management job i applied for. Which at the time, i was rather pissed about but now im pretty glad. I realized this is gods way of telling me that i dont need to be staying that the theater, its time for me to move on with my life and start growing up. Things have gotten pretty bad at the theater. a couple of managers have it in for me and are making sure they make my life a living hell, but they dont know me very well or else they would know to just give up. im better then them and i wont take their shit. SO... i started school at Columbus State. Its really easy and just not what college should be. As many of you know i visited my friends in Cincinnati and ive decided to transfer down there. Im taking my ACT in a couple weeks and will hopefully be a student at the University of Cincinnati starting in the winter. I will be going back down there this weekend and talking to them about loans and such so i can get some money to go there. if any of you wanna donate to the Jordans Future Fund just let me know. lol. In other news im down to a slim 182 pounds. which makes the new total of 76 pounds down now. Its an amazing feeling to be walking around in my 32x30 pants and medium shirts. lol

Thank you so much for still reading this. I know i suck at updates. lol.

Time To Answer Questions.

There have been a lot of questions from all you readers about my weight loss so i figured i would take a post to answer all of you. Being that im guessing most everyone has tried to diet you know how hard it is. The fact is DIETS DONT WORK. If you want to lose weight you must first realize that the reason youve gained weight is from a bad lifestyle. There for you dont need to diet, you need to change your lifestyle. The reason my "diet" works is because i changed my lifestyle. I used to eat just for the fun of eating. i would take in an average of 3000 to 4000 calories a day. if i was bored, i ate. if i was sad, i ate. I have no replaced eating with other things. If im bored, i play my guitar, or go see a movie. I even exercise now instead of sitting around on my ass. lol. and Believe me, if you think diets are hard, lifestyle changes are even harder. The fact is anytime you lose weight in a weeks time period, you want to reward yourself, the problem with rewards is however, one reward turns into two, and two to four and so on. until you now trying to work off your reward. The hardest part about my weight loss, is not giving up. There has been so many times where i just want to stop, Chipotle always sounds good. lol But i know how happy i am with my body, and how unhappy i was when i was that 258 pound animal that i dont even know anymore. I cant even explain to you how great of a feeling it is to get onto that scale every week and see a -2 or a -4 pounds. its single handedly the greatest feeling ever. Now i look forward to seeing that scale when a year ago you couldnt have paid me to get on it. I cant tell you the feeling of watching your pants size go down. or watching your shirt sizes going down. i started off wearing XL shirts and size 40 pants. im now a M shirt and a 34 pant and shrinking.

so, in order to try and help all of you i decided to let you in on my secret. If you have an iPhone of iPod Touch, get it out cause you will want to get this app. its called lose it. it tracks your calorie intake and also keeps a chart of your weight loss. its a free app, but remember, using the app is only half the battle. you still need to follow your calorie allowance, and remember to work out. even if its only for 30 minutes a day. just do it. you will thank me later.

Cause I Love to Copy My Mother.

For all you readers of my mothers blog you know she did a weight update with pictures, which i am rather proud of her for doing. so i figured i would do that same. just to show you the progress we are both making.

This is me at my heaviest. This was from last summer when i was weighing in at a handsome 258 Pounds. Holy shit. lol


Its a horrible picture but you can truly see just how big i was.

Well almost exactly a year later this is me.


Almost 60 Pounds lighter and weighing in at an amazing 198 pounds!

I hadnt really seen the change that other people saw in me until i started looking through old facebook photos of me. The change is amazing. Not only did i lose a lot of weight. But i gained a better taste in clothes. lol

Im hoping to shave off another 25 pounds to be exactly where i want to be. FIngers crossed.

Pictures From The Creek

Went for a walk at Creekside yesterday and i thought i would show you some of the pictures i took. Enjoy!

Weekend Update.

Hey guys its your favorite every now and then blogger. I wanted to post on here to let everyone know of 2 recent developments in the wonderful world of Jordan Nicholas.

First, i met my first weight goal almost a month ago. for the first time in many years i am under 200 pounds and loving it. Ive spent the past 3 weeks seeing if i could maintain it which after my weigh in today i can tell you that I CAN! So tomorrow i will be starting my diet again to hit my final goal weight, wish me luck.

Second, and this one is big. Im quiting smoking. Yes i know how horrible it is for you and all the reasons i need to quit, but i also know how hard this will be. Everyone in my life smokes for the most part so this will not be easy. I mean you dont get the addiction until you have it. and this is one i want rid of. So as i sit here typing this with my Nicotine gum at my side, i hope for the best.

Thanks for reading still. Sorry i suck at life and never post. Fred misses you all dearly!

Jordan.
