Bitter? Party of 1?

Catching up on the blogroll again, I see brettcajun has fallen victim to a drive by nasty gram. Lord knows, I’ve had my share so I feel for him. Sometimes, I think people do it just to get a rise out of him however, still doesn’t make it ok. Said folks, always anonymous, [1]or so they think are cowards in the simplest form. If you feel so strongly about something, have the balls to back it up with your name and/or email address. Leaving chicken shit comments w/o your name just makes you a pussy and invalidates anything you have to say.

I am reminded of a little sparring match Brett and I had via twitter about 2 weeks ago. We were discussing a philosophical difference in our approach to life. I got 3 different emails afterward asking if I was mad at Brett, kicking him off my blog, blah blah blah. Yes, it is true Brett and I sometimes disagree. Just as I have disagreed with other bloggers over the last few years. I am a grown man and if I can say it, I am willing to back it up. I can also strongly disagree with someone w/o resorting to name calling and other childish behaviors. If you read me with any regularity, you discover I speak my mind. That doesn’t change for people I know. And if your friendship hinges on my always agreeing with you, well I don’t wanna be your friend anyway.

My point is simple. Afford people the manners and common courtesy you would expect in return regardless of the communication medium.

Vid Bid 4

Just uploaded a quick vid. Nothing exciting. I was just bored and my fingers were greasy from pizza [1]yeah pizza. so figured it was a good a time as any to do a new vid.

This one is only about 6 megs. It does take a little bit for it to load once you hit play.

One of my twitter buddies pointed out my podcast link doesn’t work. Well, yeah that is pretty much true. I haven’t tweaked it since I lost the categories a while back so for now it is dead. I’ll get to it eventually.

Blog or Blog

I decided to switch from Windows Live Writer back to Post2blog. WLW is nice and functions well but, I don’t care for all the extraneous code it adds to the posts. As usual Microsoft screws up a great product with overkill.

Post2blog isn’t as polished as WLW however, it gets the job done and offers a few extra nifty editing functions. Best of all, it doesn’t add more html code than necessary. Simple, functional and best of all, free!

Ok, So Not A Heifer

Thanks everyone for the kind words on my "before" pic. It isn’t bad at all and the jock doesn’t hurt. hehehe.

I weighed myself today and I’m at 186.5 lbs (naked). My body fat is between 15-18%. [1]I did the old measurement style which is never accurate but close enough. I’m shooting for 8-12%. [2]Anything lower isn’t too healthy as you have no reserves for when you get sick. Your body immediately cannibalizes muscle for energy. Not a lot for a goal of 6 months so you can see I’m not really going overboard. lol However, I plan on focusing on building more muscle as well so the two goals together does present a bit of a challenge. I wanna get my muscle weight up to about 195 lbs. As soon as I do my measurements, I’ll list out the current vs the goal.

Today was my first day of cardio. I only did 3 miles. Not bad for first day. I get bored easily so I did 1 mile treadmill, 1 mile elliptical (spellling?) runner, 1 mile on the stationary bike. I plan on adding the stairmaster as well in a couple of weeks.

I’m not trying to be vain however, now that I’ve told everyone about my goal, it makes it harder for me to ignore it. I don’t like telling someone I’ll do something and then not do it. Just sticks in my craw when I do. I figure this way now I’m on the line and have to deliver. There is always a method to my madness.

Wish me luck!

Milk Does A Body Good

I’m starting a new workout routine. I’ve been meaning to do it for a while now but kept putting it off. I figure if I don’t, I’m never gonna adjust to my new schedule. I admit it, I’m a tad lazy when it comes to getting motivated in the mornings. It is the least productive part of my day. Ugh! I’m not overweight [1]Btw, my before shot. Be warned it might NSFW but I decided as one of my New Year’s resolutions to see how lean I could get. No time like the present to get crackin’. I got the dentist aka braces goal on track so time to move on to #2.

I figure it is time to use some of my own advice and put myself on a routine and a workout schedule. Writing down goals and tracking them greatly increases your success rate. Such a simple thing and yet so many don’t do it. I’m gonna try to get my BMI (body mass index) done this week. Then I’ll post my current stats vs my projected goals. I’m giving myself 6 months. A tad long for my lean goal however, on my schedule I am building in space for errors (aka laziness).

Anyone wanna join me? I’ll give you the steps.

  1. Start off with a before pic. [2]That means no clothes or clad enough to see all your flaws. Oh yes!
  2. Find or create a routine/schedule that works w/your goal and life. You should plan for at least 3 days a week. Try to be realistic.
  3. Post your current stats and your goal stats.
  4. Weekly or monthly updates on your progress.

See, that doesn’t sound so painful hard.
