Brand New Book

By Stephen Pugliese on January 11, 2012 in

Hey Y’all! It has been a few weeks/months since I wrote in here. For a while I thought I would bury this blog and stop but then I remembered that this is my own place to write my own feelings. A place where I set goals. A place where I just open up. I’m reading some of my blog posts and wonder where the fire I had went. Four months ago (Jan – August) I was at the gym 4 to 5 times a week. Last 4 months I have done jack shit. Why you ask? Well life got stressful and when life go stressful I went back to my stress eating. Pounding down Oreo’s, eating crap, not making myself lunch. I moved out, got a new job, and finishing my thesis. I thought maybe this would be good for me. In some ways it has and in some ways I have learned the hard way.

Lets Recap my life since Day 0 in February:

  1. Me and Melissa finally became more then friends. Rocky or not it happened. I have learned a lot from this relationship. A LOT!
  2. I ran a 5K and a 4 Miler
  3. At one point I drank 50 oz of water at the gym alone everyday. I know not the best way to get my water intake but I did it regardless.
  4. I lost 60 pounds.
  5. I gained back about 15.
  6. I realized enough was enough this past weekend.

Melissa always tells me I need to express my feelings because she says its part of what passion inside of me really is. Lately I’ve been just angry and depressed. I’ve realized I need to turn that anger and depression into power/fuel.

So lets set some new goals.

  1. Run 3 5K’s
  2. Run 1 10K
  3. 70 Minutes a day on the elliptical when it arrives. (Lets hope for Monday)
  4. Journal my life.
  5. Be a real team leader at bowling. (I have a 191 average and I’m truly amazed at the season I am having)
  6. Get pass the 300 mark….its the hump I feel down on last time.

I bought that plaque in this room for a reason. Don’t ever be afraid because there is nothing wrong with failing while giving everything you got.

I’m starting to grow up and its all starting to fall in place. To think I’d be where I am 1 year ago would have been called dreams for me. Now its reality. There is still things I need to work on but I will fix them all soon. One step at a time. Its back to why I started this blog. Today I start a new countdown to an important, an important day where I want to look my best. No more excuses. 58 Days to go. No more. Week 1 was stable but not perfect but I made it through. Now to keep following through.

Her

By Stephen Pugliese on December 1, 2011 in

She can’t be explained. She shines everyday. She smiles even when it’s the darkest of times. She is the reason that a perk up even when I don’t want to. I haven’t written in a while and I’ve been busy but I’m not missing this opportunity to write. Melissa you are on my mind everyday and there is not a moment that I don’t think about you. You somehow see the light in me even when I myself can’t believe it. You once told me a story about a friend and that her boyfriend came to the hospital to make sure she was ok. You were there that night for me in February. You were there telling me that I could do it no matter what. You don’t know how much that meant to me. They say behind every man stands an even stronger women. This has been dead on for you. Don’t mistaken her because she is a shining light. I am falling in love with you. I am writing this because I want everyone to know I love this girl!!!! Despite all the craziness that goes on in my life you are somehow standing there saying “You got this.” I feel blessed to have you. If this is what I’ve been waiting for my whole life, it was worth the wait.

6 months down….who knows to go :)
