Mr. Self Destruct - Million Dollar Version

OOO-WEEE What Up with that? What up with that? Million Dollar Baby the super funny action comedy was on the screen this morning at Gold's. What's that? That wasn't a comedy? It wasn't meant to be funny? Next you are going to tell me Schindler's List wasn't funny either. What? It wasn't? hhmmmm well maybe at 6:30 movies on euthanasia seem a little more funny than they are meant to be. On a slightly related note, Morgan Freeman has a fantastic voice. It is mesmerizing.

Well Floyd says he is coming to the club in the morning. He couldn't make it today because of work, but he says Tuesday, Thursday and Friday he is going to try and make it. it'll be nice to have someone pump iron with each morning. My thought still is to do mostly cardio with a power body lift with little of no rest to keep the heart pump up. We shall see if this is a good plan or one for failure.

Mr. Self Destruct Movie Review

Man Devon was right, and I am glad I listened to her. Going into the Movie lounge while getting on the treadmill makes the time fly by. So this may make this blog take a turn (worse or better? IDK I guess for you to decide). I think I'll report on the the movie of the day and what the workout was.

Today was Charlie and the Chocolate factory. Too bad for me I caught the last scene, credits, and then the op end few scenes as the movie got restarted at the end. Even so time went by fairly fast. Depp is creepy as Willy Wanka, and I am not sure but I think Hit Girl from the up coming Kick Ass was in it too. Also I got to thinking on the number of times Depp and Marla Singer have been together in flicks. At least 3 with Charlie, Alice and Sweeny Todd. There may be more. I would put Willy Wanka at a "C" to work out to. it was fine but there are better.

Oh and I walked hills on the treadmill and jumped on the elliptical. I guess spin on the eliptical, jumping is for trampolines I think. It was kinda cold in there today, couldn't hardly break a sweat. May wear a sweatshirt next time.

There is also a rumor that Floyd the barber may start waking up int he morning and working out. That could mean, 30 mins of Cardio and them a 15 min total body pump with rest to spot the other only... That would be grand.

Mr Self Destruct Hooter's edition

Maybe the best thing in the world isn't eating wings and drinking beers at Hooters, but the chance to hang with the Troll, Russ, Jamie Lou, Sushi Mama, Zac and Dani, and Tommy and Ashley. I think all had a good time, I know I did.

On the good side though, I did drag my sorry ass out of bed and went to Gold's this morning. Actually tried the cinema room and "The Three Musketeers" was on the screen. It was entertaining enough I put an extra 10 minutes in on the elliptical after walking on the treadmill. Jack Bauer looked the same, strangely enough Charlie Harper did too....

Mr. Self Destruct

So I have been weighing myself every morning. Which is a little odd as I am a fan of "let your clothes tell you how much weight you have lost". Interesting to see how there can be huge ups and down from day to day and week to week. Almost more interesting to me, it that I can have a pig out day and then that seems to spur on a little more loss than before. I am thinking that is the key. Be sensible and keep the gluttonous days to a minimum.

Mr. Self destruct, week 3

SO I got an e-mail from my good friend Ty asking me to play footy with him and his buds. And my pathetic reply was this:

Footy- As much as this pains me to say and admit now to another person... I
can't run anymore Ty. I am too effing fat. I am down roughly 25 pounds from a
year ago to 275, I think I need to lose another 40 before my little legs can
take the pounding. This is a hard/embarrassing thing to admit to for me. I used
to be.. once could... Won championships in... played college... My shins hurt
after walking on a treadmill. I can't see myself being able to do it in any way.
Now on the flip side I am going to the gym 4 days a week and sweating 4 days a
week. I am hoping in 3 months to see if I cantt have a few more LBs off, but
right now footy is a no go for me.

Maybe this will be a goal for the next season, being able to play a sport with others again...... who knows..

Mr Self Destruct - feet

Well, I knew my shoes sucked but this has gotten a tad silly, I have now worn a hole in the bottom of my right foot. Right at the ball of the foot. That makes walking biking, running not fun at all. Took the last two days off. So easy to fall off the tracks but I hope a few more days and all will be good to hit it hard Monday morning.

Monday I hope to try the movie room while on the treadmill. Maybe that will take the boring away....

Mr Self Destruct

Up and at it again this morning.

I am thinking that 1 more month of strictly tread milling is the plan I am going to stick to. Running is out of the question as walking kills my shins. And now the education part of today. Don't go to gordman's and buy shoes to workout in, they will kill your feet. My other workout shoes were dieing and one day a while back I forgot them, so gordman's was next door so I got a pair. They seemed fine at first, but the longer I wear then the worse they seem. I see a new pair of Lawn mowing shoes in my future.

So mid April, I think I will mix back in a solid amount of weight training, right now once a week I do a weight blitz where I just do a quick pump to failure on like 10 exercises. Not sure it is helpful, but its my plan and I am sticking to it.
