This was last night (or early this morning depending on how you look at it).
Did more weight lifting, same stuff as day two, except upped it to two sets of 9 reps.
As soon as she is here for the boys, going for a run tonight in the cold. I cannot wait…
I have not given up. Thursday I was…indisposed. I was going to run yesterday, but I have the boys and Mom was not home. Going to hit the weights tonight after bedtime and run after she gets the boys tomorrow.
First day of weight lifting, more running tomorrow, and it, well, hurts, but definitely in a good way. Now, look, I know you are supposed to do 3 sets of so many reps, and I will start doing that, but I just need to start by getting a feel for the whole weight lifting thing again, because I have not done it in a very very long time.
Wading through the queue to connect to EVE SiSi for supercap weekend, its a long wait, so I decided to hit the mall and get Demon’s Souls. Definitely a worthwhile trip for three reasons:
1. I got carded for a video game. Anyone who looks under 30? Must be the Dragonball Z t-shirt.
2. As I was heading to the exit, I saw a 10 year old kid with the beer pong game. I guess it is always good to start young so you are prepared for college.
3. Getting ready to pull out of the parking space, a van parks next to me, the trunk pops open, and kids pour out of the back off the floor boards. There was a full second row seat, but no third row seating.
Always a good idea to remain aware of what’s going on around you, because you never know what you will miss otherwise.
It is past time. 31 years old, and definitely not in the best shape of my life, but I need to do something about it. What that means is, regular exercise, hence the new blog on my site.
This will be for nothing more than tracking my progress on an exercise regimen which will include running and weight training. I have had the weights for far too long, they have been sitting around on my weight bench collecting dust, and today I purchased Nike+ running shoes, the little iPod+Nike sensor, and a new iPod Nano so I can track my running progress.
The picture above is Running Day 1.
On the weight lifting days, I am going to keep track of what type of exercise, the weight, and reps.
That means this will be a pretty boring blog, but despite that, I ask that any of my Twitter or FB friends who see this, please help motivate me. Comment in any way you want, I don’t care what it is, but I know I have a bit of a social network out here and hope you can provide some assistance to poor old me.
I quit smoking a week ago, and this time it is for good. Now it is time to do something about the rest.
Me, post exercise, day 1. Fuck.
Today, my sister posted this image on her Facebook page:
After seeing it, I felt so inclined to express my thoughts. What follows is the full conversation I had on this topic with one of my cousin’s (by marriage) and one of my sister’s coworkers. I have removed all of the names, except mine (because I’m all egotistical that way) since they did not consent to having their names put up here.
I spent the weekend out of town with a friend I had not seen in a few months. He lives in Columbus, OH, a couple hours away from me, and we decided to spend the night bar hopping in the Short North. Since I have not really been to bars as a single man in quite some time, I naturally spent the majority of my evening looking at eye candy and realizing that I was way too old. But, during all of this, I happened to notice something.
