School

So I went through all the motions of starting culinary school at the Art Institute of Portland and even officially got accepted which was very exciting but at this time I can not start. Though disappointing I need to get other things in my life in order before taking on even more. At this point I plan to start fall 2010, that's my goal. I know that doing it on my own will make it all the more worth it when it happens.

Been a while

Hello non-readers, been a while! I think the last time I updated I said I would try and keep the blog up better. Well.....that didnt happen as non of you can see : ).

So whats up with me you ask? Well I started PCC again and dropped out again. I have figured out that I want to go to cooking school. Ive always liked cooking and food is always on my brain so I think its a perfect fit. Other than that work is a little better but I really need to get into a real restaurant, hope some jobs open up soon....


Theres tons more to talk about but ill save that for later.

Some things to eat and not eat when on a diet....

Don't Eat....

Chips or Crackers- Even ones that are supposedly healthy. Once you start on these crunchy snacks is really hard to stop. By the time your done you'll have eaten way more calories then you should have, and they are not to filling anyway.

Cookies- Duh, they are soooo delicious but most cookies are 200+ calories EACH!!! So not worth 15min on the optical

Ice Cream- Really adds up the calories quickly, if you have to buy some light ice cream and keep it to a minimum.

Soda- I was a complete soda addict for many many years, which is prob one of the big reasons I am so overweight. A single can of Coke contains at least 150cal. I could drink a whole liter a day for a while which I don't even want to know how much that was.

95% of Fast Food- Last year when I started really looking at what I was eating I found out really quickly that almost no fast food is good for you, even if you think its a better choice. Even places like Quizno's and Panera bread which have the appeal of being better for you are sadly not. Most subs at both these places contain more than half the daily calories and fat you supposed to have in the entire day. The only fast food choices that I have found so far that aren't to bad are as listed

Sub Way- Usually I get a foot long Turkey and Ham with extra tomato, spinach, cheddar cheese and very light Honey Mustard on 9 grain honey oat bread. ~600cal

Wendy's- Ultimate Chicken Grill Sandwich- ~370cal

Ruby Tuesdays- Top Sirloin with green beans instead of broccoli (broc doesn't sit well with me) and the mashed potatoes. Kinda a pricey meal but only has bout 600cal altogether or so they say.


Good Choices......

Eggs- I love eggs and eat more than I should. Egg lands best eggs are only 70cal each and keep me full longer than most breakfast items. I heard somewhere that if you eat a protein at the start of your day you end up burning more fat, so cant hurt right?

Instead of normal cold cereal for breakfast I find that oatmeal with skim milk or water is much more filling and satisfying. I always have more then one bowl of cold cereal and the servings are so small I end up consuming way more calories then I should.

Leona Lewis- Happy

So what if it hurts me?
So what if i break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge
My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place
I wanna hear myself
Don't care about all the pain in front of me
Cause i'm just trying to be happy, yeah
Just wanna be happy, yeah

Dream

So had a really crazy dream last night. So I cant remember all the parts of it but for some reason Kasey and I were at a Rumor Willis concert (she doesnt sing). In my dream Kasey was a really big fan and after the concert was able to meet her. Another part there was this wierd accicent where someone dies under a big place like the rose garden that kept relplaying over and over throught my dream.
The best part of the was I got to meet Zac Efron. He was in town and he and I hit it off at a concert we were both at. He then baught a house for his small stay in portland and my friends and I got to stay there.
For some reason my dream ended at this wierd outdoors bar and Ron Howard was there. He was dieing but we were all celebrating his life. Sooooo Wierd.

13 O' Clock

So was watching my new favorite show, L.A Ink and this one lady really got my attention. She wanted a tattoo of a pocket watch with 13 O'clock on it. Her inspiration behind it was she was always waiting for this imaginary time to begin living her life. She said she wouldn't do things like go dancing, or wear lingerie because she was overweight or other reasons and she was waiting till she was in shape to do anything, always waiting. Then one day an alarm went of in her head and said stop letting her life pass her by and stop being so passive.

It really hit home because that's exactly what I do. I don't go to clubs or go dancing because I'm waiting till I loose weight. I'm afraid to try a new job because I'm afraid I will be horrible at it. I can work really well but it takes me a little longer to learn in the beginning. Hearing her story just makes me really reconsider a lot of things and want to be a better person and more importantly start living my life and stop being afraid.

Work out!!

So I finally got back in the gym yesterday and I felt so good after my workout. Just gotta get myself in there and then im fine. Today I actually work up early (8:15 Am) which in not used to just to get a workout in before work, which is a 10 hour shift I might add.



Well gots to go...


P.S- For anyone who might read, Try and think possitive thought bout the gym, I used to hate the idea of going (sometimes still do) but it will be totaly worth it.. I know one day I will look like this......

Brand New Shoes : )


So the other day at work this really cute guy came in. He was prob in his mid twenties,dressed really nice and had a baby ( it's wierd but I think young dads are hot). But the thing I noticed was he was wearing a pair of yellow Sneakers. Anyone who knows me knows I'm not the biggest fan of yellow anything, but on this guy they looked really good. So of course I really wanted a pair so I made it a goal to find a cool pair this weekend. Well I found a pair and can't wait to break them in(lll post a picture when I get to my computer)

T.G.I.F

Yes, T.G.I.F, Thank God Its Friday!!! (well Saturday now but oh well). Work was okay today, my coworker pissed me of, but what would a day at the Quiz be without that happening : ). Got paid today, wasn't as much as I anticipated but that's what I get for leaving early for being sick one day.
So after work went with my bro to get my dads birthday gift. Its a wireless subwoffer surround sound with a DVD player combined, pretty cool if you ask me. Then as it would only be fitting to do today went to Fridays for dinner. Got the Petite sirloin and they were not joking bout that, were talking tiny. Came with some five cheese mac and cheese, everything tasted real good but could have been more there. Blizzard at DQ for dessert and then saw District 9. Was interesting but wouldn't see it again.
Oh yeah, so at dinner tonight I joked to the waitress that my friend and I were the 5Th and 6Th wheals of our group. She then said that she'll be my friends date to witch I said I needed a cute waiter for me. When she came back she brought one of the waiters over, it was pretty funny and I prob blushed a little.
Well, that was my night. It was a good time had by all especially after having a few Mango Mai Tai's.
Till next time homos......peace!

My Husband #Atthispointimgonnastopkeepingtrack- Jamie Dornan (Warning- Scorching Hotness)







Todays Food

Breakfast- Apple Sauce- 100cal
Lunch- Ham and Swiss on Wheat ~400cal
Snack- Turkey and Cheddar at work (just turk, cheese and toms)- ~500cal
Dinner- Sml Black Angus- ~400cal
Stuff I Shouldnt Have Ate After Work- Two Ribs and a cornbread roll from Famous Daves- I have no clue, just tried to look it up but you can barely find any nutritional information for Famous Dave's. So lets assume the worst. Though I find it hard to believe, one site said just one of their cornbread rolls contains 600cal!!! So add the ribs which lets just say was also 600.....that brings my daily total toooo 2,600 for the day.

Not good but not the worst ever. The ribs and roll are what killed me which reminds me that I need to check before I eat any fast food or I will regret it.
On another note, work sucked...it was super busy and in the haste of chopping tomatoes I sliced a chunk of my thumb which proceeded to bleed for an annoyingly long time. Oh well, at least I got a workout running around the store for 5 hours trying to keep up.
Well Till tomorrow my loyal non-readers, I'm gonna chill and watch "The Devil Wears Prada", good night.

Weight Loss and such

So as I said in an earlier post, I got to get back in the grove of working out. Ive got my diet almost back on track which im proud of, still a huge struggle but at least I'm sticking with it and not giving up if I have a bad day here and there.
So I'm hoping that maybe if I keep a little journal on my blog maybe it will help me keep on track. Today was a really good day. I started my day with a lean cuisine breakfast pannini which I have decieded I dont like. I would rather just have three scambled eggs for less calories and sodium and I find them more filling.
Work was supper busy and I was running around like a mad man trying to keep the line moving. You see, I work the possition that two poeple usually do and I do it just as fast. So basically I got my workout just by doing my job. So when it was finally time for my break I had a ham sub with just ham tomato and two triangles of swiss (no dressing).
When I got home I had a Lean Cuisine dinner which was pretty good. It had mashed sweet potatoe which I love. Afterwords I crashed and fell asleep for a couple hours which was awsome, gotta love naps. Woke up, did a little yardwork and then had some cereal. So good day all around and just gotta keep it going. Im at around 258lbs right now so lets see if I can get to 245 by my San Francisco trip.

Movies you should see...

Here are some movies that I really love and you should see (Yeah, im tellin u what to do, deal)

Brick- Really cool murder mystery that takes place in high school

The Last Holiday- Kinda a silly movie but it always cheers me up

I Love You Man- Really funny Bromantic comedy, you will be quoting it all the time (plus Paul Rudd is hot)

Dazed and Confused- One of my all time favorates of all time, go rent it.

Songs I'm listening to.....

P!nk- I Dont Believe You

Michael Jackson- They dont care about us (Cant wait for the concert film in october)

The Temper Trap- Sweet Disposition

VAST - You're too young

Work

So works been sucky lately. My Boss has been talking shit about me for a while now which is completly unprofessional. I do my stupid sub making job well and better than anyone else that works there and I'm being treated like crap. I heard he was saying that he was sick of all my drama and that I was a spoiled kid who works for nothing in my life.
So I set up a meeting with him to sort stuff out and I guess it went well. He was really truthful and told me all the stuff I heard he was saying about me is true, not that made me feel better in any way. He appologized for sayin the stuff about me being spoiled. And when I ask him what drama he was talking about he said it was about me coming in on my days off here and there where I would buy food and talk to my co-workers for a little while. I honestly dont think this was a big deal and he was blowing it way out of porportion. So we sorted out a few other things and I hope he actually listened to me when I corrected him on things he thought was going on which were false.
Again, I feel a little better and hope this shit with him stops. He is a horrible boss (He didnt use to be) and I need to start looking for a new job. Good luck me.

R.I.P Michael Jackson

My first memory of him was back in El Paso, Texas. I was at my best friend Abbys house playing in the backyard when her parents yelled "Its on! Its on!" I didnt know what was going on but Abby seemed to be clued in. When we got inside her parents we sitting there glued to the tv as the music video for Thriller played. I watched it and thought it was pretty cool, but at the time I really didnt get what the big deal was.

For years I have loved his music and all the videos that went with them. I still watch MJ's "Ghosts" mini movie every Halloween (always accompanied by pizza hut), a tradition I started a few years back. Words cannot describe what a loss this is, im just glad I had the privalage to grow up with all the things he created.

Everyday Queer!

Welcome to Everyday Queer! This is gonna be a space for me to talk about stuff going on in my life and cool things in music movies and tv. A little about me. Name is Justin, but you can call me J-Fresh or J-Nasty, depending on how you feel ; ) Im 23 years old and still live at he with the parents. I work at Quiznos Sub shop and being there for a few years has taught me a few things, people love their sandwhiches and can be compleate dicks over nothing. I came out in December of '07 and that's when I feel my life finally began. There's tons more about me that I'll share in future posts, but now you know a little about me.
