88

I've got 88 days until this year is over. I've got an aggressive goal, but it could be hit with some sort of fucking discipline which I've been lacking since college. Time to hold myself accountable and with some people reading along, they can check up to see what I've been doing and set me straight if I need to. I'm going to log everything, that means if I eat a slice of pizza or 9 after I drank 39 beers then I'm logging it. I want to know where I need adjustments and I want to make them. My goal is to have one cheat day and it be a Sunday. It's football season and that's my favorite day to chill, drink and watch some games. If I work hard during the week then I earn that day on Sunday.

Here's today's log so far:

9:30am - Egg whites, turkey, swiss, hot sauce on whole wheat. Water.

11:00am - More water.

12:30pm - Mini can of tuna in water (2.7oz)

2:15pm - Grilled chicken, lettuce/tomato, honey mustard on whole wheat. Water.

This was yesterday so it's tough to remember....

6:00pm - Gym supps

7:30pm - PWO Shake

7:45pm - Starkist Tuna Creations (I don't know, tuna in a bag? But it's flavored and pretty good)

10:00pm - Bedtime shake (Whey, Skim, Tbsp. Peanut butter, Ice)

Let's Go

So I'm easily worse off now than I was back in March. I have a race November 19th that I'm determined to get myself into shape for. I joined a site to log my food and all that, help me with my nutrition so I'm going to just blog it here and all that. My goal is to lose anywhere between 20 and 30 pounds by the first day of 2012. I've felt extremely uncomfortable at the weight I'm at and I've been dying to get back to my playing weight. I bulked up a couple years back and when I came out of the gym my weight hovered there while muscle deteriorated as I didn't work out. Now I'm heavier than I want to be and need to cut the fuck down while I still can. I think this race will be a challenge for me since I've never done one, but got a ton of guys from work in on it also, as well as support from my friends. There's no reason I can't do this shit and I'm sick of just letting this bullshit continue. Here we go.

March 25th Whatever

Decided to get my ass back in the gym after a couple weeks off. Didn't intend on being out of the gym this long, but the CrossFit experiment looks like it's just about done. I wish I liked doing the workouts, but I fucking hate them, just no sugar coating it. My personal fitness goals are perfectly in line with CrossFit, but I just can't do these workouts - I don't know what it is, I just don't like them. I love lifting weights but don't want to get fat and jacked. Bottom line is I have to actually do cardio instead of pussing out like I normally do. I think living in Long Beach will help, because running on the boardwalk or around town when it gets warm would be legit. I wouldn't mind that. I'm also going to have to bring a stopwatch or something to time myself in between sets to keep the pace up, which in turn will burn calories. I usually just lift and take my time between sets, if I move quick there's no reason I wouldn't see better results. Might start tonight, if I can lift through the weekend that'd be big going into next week and staying consistent. I don't want to go out or drink at all so this could help me stay away from all that. We'll see.

I also was looking online yesterday at dogs. I want to talk to my landlord and get a dog already, been talking about it for almost 10 years about how badly I want a dog. There's a ton of shelters by me with the breed I'm looking for - American Staffordshire Terrier. Look at this thing are you serious:

I know right? Dog is unreal. If my landlord is cool with it - I'm going to have the best dog ever.

I Used "Bored and Tired" Already?

So March 19th is almost here.. We started planning for this day probably mid-January. Last year on the same weekend we were in Philly at Stemmy's place and straight killed it. It was 70 degrees and sunny, we got a keg and played drinking games in the sun all day and watched the NCAA tournament. Basically planned that for this year, but we're hosting it in Long Beach. Our place isn't that big, so we went ahead and invited everyone we know. We'll have about 20 people sleeping face first on hardwood floors, someone has to end up in the tub.. I don't know how it's going to turn out but it should be legit. Basically we're going to out do Philly and what they offered last year. The apartment might be a push, the keg will be a push, but we got T-shirts made up (game-over) with names and numbers (game, set, match) we have an iPod hook up to our surround sound (wtf? Game ova) and there's going to be pong, cornhole and flip cup. Basically an A+ version of a college party. Oh yeah and NCAA tournament on a 46" flatscreen. Boom! In Long Beach? Basically I've been praying for 65 and sunny - and people are telling me they've heard that's the forecast. I still see weather.com posting 48 and rain, but every other weather source on the internet is above 55 and sunny. So I'm going to go ahead and say weather.com has a bunch of assholes working for them who obviously need a vacation because they're depressed out of their minds. Think positive, idiots.

Obviously I'm back on here, bored and tired, because the people I'm e-mailing are doing an atrocious job getting back to me. Just taking way too long right now..

So I got into my office bracket pool today, I think my bracket looks fantastic. I also did one for the clowns coming to my house this Saturday. And I'm doing one with my friends Brian. And I'm doing an NIT bracket which I started 6-3 on last night. All in all that's $70 worth of brackets and I can't pay any of them - smart move.

Bored and Tired

Got a good night of sleep last night, only a coulpe days back to sleeping on a mattress after I spent the last year on a couch. I'm still tired as shit, though. Trying to sit here and do work and I keep bobbing my head trying to keep my eyes open.

We started this CrossFit thing again, last night was night one. We did "300" and it killed me. My lower back is in the most pain but I'm sure it will be all over in a couple hours. It was my first night at this new gym, it was pretty decent. When I went in there all I wanted to do was lift and throw weight around instead of do this damn CrossFit garbage, but I need to get in shape and this is the best option..

I want it to be May, right now. I'm sick of this shitty 8 degree weather. This morning the walk to the train was brutal, like it was yesterday. I want 65 and sunny for a couple weeks, then I want 78 and sunny so I can dominate the beach all summer. Our place is going to be sick in the summer, I can't wait. I have vacation days and some sick days that I definitely plan on using so I can sit on the beach and do a 9-5 out there. Most of my friends are teachers so it should be pretty legit being able to go mid week, oh yeah and walk there.

Walking directions to Boardwalk

1. Head south on Monroe Blvd toward E Market St

0.5 mi

Boardwalk.

Oh that's it? Sounds good.

Been A While

Haven't been on here in a while, not really on the diet kick as much lately. Took some time off from the gym, but starting CrossFit tonight with two of my friends.

Update on life since I last logged in here, I moved and got a place in Long Beach - I'm living with my friends Craig and Nick. The place is pretty sick, the set up we have is pretty sick, all around I'm really happy with it. I can walk to and from the train so my car hasn't moved from the driveway since I put it there Sunday. Still need a couple things to finally feel completely moved in, but that will come in time. The move cost some money so I'm hurting in the wallet a little bit, so I'll be laying low the next couple weeks.

I get so damn bored when I'm at work I have to come on here again and start blogging or whatever. Can I even call it blogging when no one reads it? This is like an online therapist - I just talk to and it just sits here and doesn't give me any feedback whatsoever, pretty similar. I'm going to be on here in and out today just babbling about nothing, it'll be like a shittier version of Seinfeld.
