Weekly Get in Shape Tips

Hey Team,

Are you ready for another week of grueling workouts and punishing exercises, I know you don't want to do it, but we all know that you have to! Now wake your ass up and get running, that is right folks it is time to start running.

Get in Shape Tip #1:
I recommend running at least 1 mile every weekend, to start off. To maintain and increase that distance is the goal, so every other day walk 1/2 a mile or a full mile, few times around the block should suffice, after dinner, or in the morning are the best times.

Get in Shape Tip #2:
Do not eat junk food!! Especially after you have already had your dinner. One way to loose a few lbs to is make sure that you make dinner your LAST meal of the day. Or just do not eat 2 hours before you are planning on going to sleep. Your body needs at least 2 hours to break down all of the foods properly, before going to sleep, or else you could have night mares. Haha just kidding, but your food won't be getting broken down properly, and will all get stored as fat. This is a very easy way to gain weight, eat a lot right when you are going to bed.

Get in Shape Tip #3:
Exercise at least 3 times a week folks! I can not STRESS this enough, this is essential to achieving your work out goals! You have to make sure you are working out your body every other day of the week, do not double up, or work out the same body part two days in a row, you are more than likely to strain the muscle, and could further injure your self if you do not allow at least 1 if not 2 days of rest, depending on the severity of the work out performed. Obviously if you do a hard work out give your body 2 days of rest, if an easier one give it 1 day of rest.

Good luck team! Now get out there and kick some ass!

You owe me 13G's

Kicked ass at work today. Found out how the Accounting Department had failed to charge 13,325 dollars to 10 of our SEO projects. Once that gets around I am sure they won't lay me off, YAHOO!! To lasting another year at an Office Space replica company, YAY!

Haha, anyway, came home and decided to kick it up a notch and work out till I saw sweating bullets. Think I did pretty good job, let's see how I did.

Out with the old in with the new

"A friend is just a potential enemy." - rap song lyric

This quote has become more apparently true to me than any other song lyric I have ever heard in my life. Now in the year 2008 my "friends" have become my enemies and vise versa, jealousy, greed, admiration, and disrespect all emotions demonstrated by every single one of my "friends" So as part of my New Years Resolution it is time for out with the old and in with the new. I am done with friends that use you, lie to your face, and are fake as hell. Fuck Them.

The year 2008 my life is changing quite rapidly right before my very eyes. With my beautiful, sexy, attractive, and lovable girlfriend by my side I know that I can conquer the world! Together we are completely unstoppable, nothing will get in the way of our success and happiness.

But onto my daily toll of getting in to shape. I think loosing my friends is the biggest piece of fat that I could ever cut out of my life!

Today I ate:
Oatmeal for breakfast - 200 calories
Bagel with butter for snack - 300 calories
Peanut butter and jelly for lunch - 400 calories
Ellios slice of pizza for dinner - 300 calories

Total of 1300 calories.

Today I did not work out.
I was extremely tired all day today from running for a mile yesterday and working out. I even felt the need to take a nap during my lunch break, and just felt so tired, and my muscles were aching all day. So I took a day off from working out to let my body heal up. Tomorrow I am going double up and do a big work out.

Today I weight 260lbs and 35% body fat. No changes as of yet but I'd say I wont see any real changes for at least two weeks.

Stay tuned for tomorrows update of my daily web log and New Years Resolution progress!
