Gettin' Fit should not have all the fun..(an SoF post)
So EP we meet again. And this time you are allowing me to surf and check up on my friends? Wow, did you just throw a tantrum and not let pages load until enough of us got angry with you? Hopefully this lasts, as there are at least 2 blogs that I like to read on a regular basis, and then lurk...I mean surf, yeah surf around to see If I can help.
Song of the post: I am putting this at the top now, so you, the savvy reader, can play it while you read the post. Here we go, something other than dance, yeah I know, I am surprised too. http://www.last.fm/music/Editors/The+Back+Room/Lights
The band has great tunes, so go out and pick it up if you are interested. I do have more dance for future posts. Speaking of which, I am throughly disappointed in the biggest loser workout cd. It is nothing more than crappy house versions of top 10 songs. Lets take anything that was popular enough to have a dance remix and throw it all together. yeah, then lets market this "dance" album to people. Yeah, it makes people want to move, why not call it a workout CD? /end rant. If you want Dance Music to workout to, go threw my old posts, or send me a private message, I will fill your ipod (or whatever you are using) with music of quality.
Triathalon training - Today was day one of full training. I lifted upper body, then I went to bike, then I walked on the treadmilll (stupid deal or no deal on TV), then I went swimming. I was out at the gym from 11 and I left after a nap in the sauna and showering about 2. So, I just have to go out and buy more food for the house, and I will be set.
For gettin' fit: My gym offers a 545 spin class. This means that I would arrive at the gym at 5 to lift, spin for an hour, then swim. This is going to be my M, W, F, mornings. Which also happens to be my school days, though I will have to skip the nap in the sauna. Happy 5 am to everyone. (it is really not that hard, it just takes practice, and less TV).
For Stardust: Please drop by and send her some love, She is out having back surgery, and will not be able workout or post for a while.
Appearantly it is october, which means halloween. I like to celebrate, though everyone else that I work with, this is there biggest holiday of the year. Or at least october. This means that I will have to dress up to go to work. Which means no fun costumes. I have a friend who does special effects, and she offered to help me dress up as Marv from Sin City.
that is a big no, as wearing silver paint/latex while making drinks in about 85 degrees not very appealing. Maybe next year, this one, I will just go normal, and wait for a costume party.
Which means that Nov and Dec are coming up as well, that time of year when the families all get together, and drive each other crazy only to realize why they do it once a year. Sigh. Jan is weeks away, though it is my new goal to arrive there in one piece.
Speaking of New goals. I am 28 percent body fat. Which is a far cry from 41 percent. So, I am planning out to lose about 10% during this next challange. That puts me at a health 18%, and is not too far off course. I will set the goal to lose the last 8-10 percent next year. Oh lets see, I will be looking forward to accomplishing more in the lifting catagory as well. Appearantly, I had not tried to bench press in a while. As it turns out, I only added 50lbs. since the last time that I did that exercise. Which puts me about body weight, and I am no small man. Also, I am in love with my calves right now. I have no fat on them, and there are great lines in them as well. I guess, I am working from the bottom up. That and do something small like a triathalon.
Wow, I am getting long winded here.
Vegan Recipe of the Post: Again for kate who ate, though for everyone here. This week Pasta. yep, pasta. Though a little differenly than you are used to seeing. Take and organic Zucchani and a potato peeler. Peel back small layers of the zucchani, and then roll them up. It is that easy, and you can eat it late at night and it will not throw off you carbohydrate intake. It makes a great snack, and it is easy to make. I am also about less processed foods (I get enough processed stuff with my suppliments).
Funny story of the post: I love my coworkers, they provide most of the funny stories, and I occasionally do as well. My co-worker was telling me about halloween, and how I could dress up as a power ranger from the Jungle Fever series. I tell her that I do not think of jungle fever in that way. What a gaff on their part. She then remembered the right name. (this is the same co-worker who said That don't make sentence, which I have not let her forget thusfar).
SoF Interactive: What is your favorite exercise? Why? I will take any here, though I love leg press and cable crossover. I never miss these so I save them. They are my reward for doing all the things that of which I am not a big fan. I love seeing how much I can put on leg press, moving over 500 lbs is a great thrill. Cable crossover, is my favorite on upper body days. I do a lot at this station, upper, fly, lower and reverse. I would stay longer,though there is always someone who wants in. I am becoming a big fan of pullups, mostly because I can do them. Again, I am not a small man.
Enjoy everyone, I will be around to check up on you because EP likes me again. Take care and thanks for reading
