PHEW!!!

So it's been a while, but a few things have happened that i'd like to share. First, I got into the program at school that I wanted to. So, starting 3/1/2010, I will be a full time student working toward a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice. I am very proud to finally start this and look forward to getting thru this program. Second, the gym that Lindsay and I go to has personal Trainers that do 4 free sessions to assess and start a workout routine. Today was my 2nd Sesh, and we set my baseline for stratching and boy did it suck. I can only imagine what the workouts are going to be like! Here's the Website for Kinetic Bliss. Added some shit to the blog, some of my interests at the bottom. the usual stuff. I'll be back soon.

Cheers!!!

So it's been a while...

So I'm going to a college tomorrow for an open house. Lindsay thinks that I would make a good cop, and after talking about it, I think I would too. I mean, what a thing to train for, and what a payoff. IDK i really think it would be a good thing for me to shoot for and train toward and work for. who knows.

I do know that Ive been to the gym 4 times in three days and I'm loving it. Every time i go I want to stay longer. Hopefully i can.

I am also going to make it a goal starting Today... TUESDAY...to blog everyday and just put it out there and write. As it is know I am logging my my training exercise on The Daily Mile and it keeps me focus and proud and on track.

I told you it'd be epic.

Cheers!

Friday!

So having just watched Food, INC, A documentary about where our food comes from, it made me really not want to eat shit from the local supermarket. I know that this might sounds trite and difficult, but I honestly want to start living better. I am going to try and shop the local farmers market down here and see if I can buy local organic produce, and local poultry. At least this way I can help out a little bit. This documentary is absolutely moving and is availiable thru Netflix for those of you who have it. Kudos.

So I am walking to work today, after not going to the gym yesterday due to exhaustion, and soreness, I have caught up on my sleep and promising i'll go tonight. My goal is 60 - 90 minutes of cardio a day, or working up to that. My first night I did 30 minutes, so I figure that if I walk to work, thats 30 minutes, and do an hour at the gym, I'll have my 90 minutes in no problem. Lindsay and I are trying to just get in the habit of going everyday. Just fucking doing it so It becomes second nature. That'll be something i've never done before. So, onward and upward, working toward my 7lbs loss this week, gotta try harder, as of now I think i'm coming up short.

Cheers!

Boo Yeah!! I feel Great!

Greetings!

So, The wife and I decided that we are going to weigh in on tuesday nights, aka The Biggest Loser night, to keep in track with the show. Also, we decided that we were going to "play along". So here's what we decided. Since obviously we don't have the time commitment that the contestants do because we have jobs and shit, there's no way that we can match the numbers that the contestants are pulling. Also because they have the two best trainers in the world, a la Bob and Jillian. But there is a team on the show, husband and wife, that are very similar in weight to Lindsay and myself. The Red Team. The guy weighs in at 365 and he is 6'3". I am 381 at 6'2". The girl is 233 at 5'6". Lindsay is 213 at 5'5". So we figured that for every 3lbs that they lose, we have to lose 1lb. The girl was down 19lbs the first week, so Lindsay need to lose 6lbs. The guy was down 21lbs, so I need to lose 7lbs. These are both pretty steep goals however I really think it'll help keep us in line.

On another note. Lindsay and I went out and joined Anytime Fitness, a 24-hour fitness club that right around the corner from where we live. It is quaint and little but perfect for me and Lindsay to bust out some cardio and reps. We went tonight and I did 30 minutes on the elliptical, Squats, Chest Press, Tricep Extensions and I feel fantastic. I am really looking forward to going again tomorrow.

So, I ate my dinner earlier, and I'm going to try not to eat after 8pm. I might drink some more water and then I need to log everything into My Daily Plate. Hopefully I can keep myself on track and lose some serious poundage.

After that, some deadliest catch reruns then off to bed. Awww yeah boy!

Cheers.

So maybe I should get over myself...

Hey to all of my followers...

Sorry I haven't gotten back right away. This isn't how I wanted to start my new year. So recently I've started a day zero list. Inspired by my sister, it's a list that focuses on 101 tasks to do in 1001 days. I've only gotten up to 76 things to do, so I'm using as a starting point and trying to add things as I think of them. Here's my list... . I really do wanna do these things and better the person that I am today. As far as my weight is concerned. I've decided that Tuesday's are going to be my weigh in day. As Lindsay and I both watch the biggest loser, I think it'll be a way for us to connect to the show and keep us on track, now only if we could put up those kind of numbers! That is it for now as I must get ready for work, but I'll let you know if anything else comes up!

Cheers!

Day 1 - The first day...

So here I am, writing a blog about mostly losing my weight. Something I've never been very good at. I always seem to know how to get myself back to comfort food. I also am trying to just write more about life and see what I can make of it. I am hoping that this process will open up my eyes or enlighten me. Maybe it'll be an epiphany and I'll realize something new about myself. I don't know, all I do know is that I have a journey ahead of me, I have an idea of how to get there, but don't have any plan set in stone right now. I'm aware that I need to lose about 2 pounds a week. So balancing eating, exercise, married life, a job and housework, I need to find a way to have it all and lose weight, while not losing focus of who I am or my potential. Anyhow, I need to thank my beautiful wife Lindsay and my family, they give me a lot of strength. Well, off I go, talk to you tomorrow.

Good Night...

Nick
