I am Mr Self Destruct

Well a weekend of excess seems to have undone anything from the previous week, but I am no looking at it this way. Before it would have been a week of excess followed by a weekend of excess. Maybe that was excessive, IDK.

Treadmill stayed on for the full 25 minutes this morning. Tried not to use the heart rate hand grips, the last few trips to 18.5 degrees I had to, poor shins felt like they were going to explode. It was an entirely different workout alking with no holding on, not sure it is was better, but it was different.

On a different note, not sure which is worse, no sun in the morning or no sun at night... ugh

Mr Self Destruct 5 days in a row

Was at Gold's at 6:15 this morning. I swear if that effing treadmill just stops onemore time in the middle of a work out I am going to freak, today it was in the middle of my 19 degree assent, that was fun to start back up on. Next goal, to not use the hand holds on the elevation climbs. so this week, sweated 4 times, brought my lunch 3 times, and only had 2 diet soda, and a few beers. better than a case of coke, 12 pitchers of beer, and 10 large pizzas... Oh what will the weekend hold in store?

I think running is a bad idea for me. jogging, or yogging I believe it is a soft "J", may be a little closer but I am really getting close to the old guy run walk ass out thing. I had a coach in high school that did that. Looked funny at the time, now it seems quite sensible. Was back at the club this morning, already had a couple glasses of water, was in bed by 11:15 last night, was out of bed by 6:15, made my lunch again, eating lots of fruit, it still seems that veggies are what I am missing, I think I'll have to start working them into dinner.

I will say that Gold's was strangely quite this morning, not that is matters to me. Must remember to get my i-pod charged up and in working order. Things seems to go faster and easier with music in your ears. IMO.

Not sure how many days you have to do something to make it a habit, but now playing WoW until 2AM most nights seems to be a healthy thing for me, and probably my wrists.

hmmm working out, sensible lunch, then beer and pretzels at Bowling League. Then up way too late playing Warcraft. Then up late for work. It is a strange cycle, but I do see it and see the reasons for it. I think once bowling is over in a month and a half the threat of a Tuesday night blowout will be greatly reduced. Tomorrow, back up at 6AM and to Gold's a a workout. I have to think that 1 day like that a week, has to be better than 5 of them for me. And heck only had 4 beers instead of 4 pitchers :) Must get more water in me must put less beer in...

Not sure what I am attempting to do with this place. I guess maybe it will make an easy reference to see where things went off the tracks or maybe stayed on them. Maybe a place that maybe someone else can see that if he can do I can too. I am just not sure, so I think i will just play it by ear.

My 35th birthday is coming up and maybe for the first time since I am making an attempt to be smaller than I was the previous year. Seems odd to write, but I think it is a fair goal.
Was at Gold's again this morning. I had an epiphany, or at least a change in philosophy. Maybe stacking Creatine, protein, glutamine, GABAs and repping weight isn't the greatest and easiest way to weight loss. Maybe just maybe striving to press out 315 isn't all that helpful really. So for the next few weeks I am going to focus on cardio, specifically the incline treadmill and elliptical runners. Two days in, and things are going good.

Food intake I have changed too. No pop, man do I really have a liking for sodas of all kinds. But after reading the labels they have to be poison for you. Fruit for breakfast. Fruit and a sandwich for lunch. and it is looking like vegetables are what is missing the most right now. I think I will need to come up with a creative way to get the veggies into the diet. Water throughout the day. For dinner? I guess what would be called sensible dinner. No need to stuff one's self to the point of being miserable.

I'd like to give this a month and see what the outcome of this little experiment is. Polly should get my weight and blood pressure reading. I think those, the second on in particular, will be good barometers of the effects of this attempt.

Big changes. Big Changes indeed! A few things that I am going to get accomplished.
1) Be in bed by 11 at the latest if at all possible.
2) work out before work at 6:15
3) be into work by 7:45
4) Make and bring in my lunch at least 3 times each week.
5) no more soda. Diet or regular. Just Water.

So far so good. It isn't like I haven't been working out. I used up 24 training sessions at Gold's over the last 3 months and Just took a week off and am now ready to hit it.

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday mornings. I think this should be a successful plan for me.

No more cheese burgers, no more soda pop breaks in the afternoons, no more trips to vendo-land.

So far 1 day in and already I like it :) At work hours earlier than I have been and getting lots done.... See you are reading the fruits of my labors...

This should result in: Less weight, More Energy, Less Money spend, More productive time.

Don't cry for me, I'm already dead

I am Mr Self Destruct-

So I went to Gold's Gym today, they have a great special running right now for joining.
I met with Justin a trainer.
I talked with hime for 30 minutes.
I worked out for 25 minutes with him.
He is nice.
He is strong.
He is in shape.
I am in shape, round is a shape.
I am weak, metally and physically.
I am nice too.

I hope I will be able to wash myself in the shower in the morning.
I am already sore all over.
Some honest soul searching will need to go on.
I have seen the future, and it is not good.
