Do as I say.....

I am realizing more and more as my life moves on. I am on this quest to make my life better. To improve my health, my family, and my well being. Some people have come up and asked me about the things I was doing to accomplish those goals. The words just rolled off my tongue!!! And when people close to me have some issues they must deal with, again, the solutions flow freely from my mind.

................so why can't I take my own advice???? I know all the things I have to do. But the main reason I think it is taking so long to accomplish what I want is that I just don't take my own advice. I don't listen to myself. It's easy to make excuses for myself, but if I hear an excuse from someone else, its just not acceptable. And sometimes, I do get mean. So for those who have felt that wrath, I do apologize. It is more difficult than I thought to break old habits. Case in point........

In the meantime, I'll be doing more research into a nighttime protein shake. Or maybe it'll be more beneficial (and cheaper) to eat a small piece of chicken or cheese before bed, like someone suggested in a comment a few posts ago.

Well, three days of hell coming up, so most likely I won't be posting. If I do it'll be short and sweet.
And if I seemed kinda short tempered over the last few posts, just know I have been very tired. I've only had a second job for 3 weeks now, and while I am almost adjusted to it, I'm still not there yet. Hopefully soon I'll be there this weekend so I can resume my Total Gym. Chuck Norris is getting angry. NOT a good thing..........

Um, yeah....

Ok, So I didn't realize..... AGAIN.... how out of shape I was......AGAIN!!!!! Seems as if the Total Gym kinda got the best of me. So, typical male, I think "I can conquer all!!!" So I jack that thing all the way up, nearly the most resistance. Then I try the first exercise. Epic fail. Can't even do one leg pull. So I lower it down, and here it was manageable. I did all 7 of the beginner exercises, 2 sets of 15 reps a piece. It only took about 25 minutes, so not too time consuming. Funny thing is, I feel grrrrrrrreat!!!! I remember this feeling, when I used to do some cardio at the Y. Problem was my schedule was always changing, so going was a problem, plus I was tired of paying $70 a month for me and wifey to go. I think this will work out better..... no pun intended...... if I stick with it.

Now mornings and me don't get along. Its kind of a hate-hate relationship. So I wont be getting blood work during the week. I'll have to wait for Saturday. No big whoop. But even though I hate them, mornings and I have to be on speaking terms. I am getting up wayyyyyy to late in the mornings, causing me to rush around and sometimes be late to work. So there's another thing I must improve upon. Especially when my start time changes from 8:30 am to 6:30 am, which should be in about a month, after I get that warehouse tightened up.

So thank you, Chuck Norris!!!!! I bought your product and feel like you just roundhouse kicked me in the berries. No worries..... the day shall be MINE!!!!!!!!

Another Sunday

Time to go at it, my weekly routine of facing my enemy, le scale. I was feeling a little bit nervous because although I ate relativley healthy, I did over eat on some occasions. Moment of truth.....

214.8!!!!

Just damn!! I was amazed this morning. I had all day to think about how I keep losing, and the only thing I can come up with is my new job. No more am I just sitting on my ass driving for hours on end, I'm moving, lifting, twisting, walking, and all kinds of other things. I think this change was timed perfectly, a kind of healthy perfect storm.

The one thing I can do without is this insomnia. In the last 48 hours, I maybe have slept.... 6??? I dunno what my deal is, but I am going to the doctor tomorrow for a check up, I'll tell him about it. Till then, its another meletonin night. So tonite I am posting from my bed. That's right, there's an app for that!!!

Finally, I got my Total Gym back from my father in law. I was going to set it up today, but got a little distracted from the playoffs. That and I've been nodding off half the day. The only thing I had the energy to do today was to make sure the couch didn't float away. By about 6 I helped wifey clean the living room, but that's about it. So its an early nite, relatively speaking, for me. More things happened this weekend for me, but I'm starting to nod off again. That and posting from this little phone is a bit annoying. So I'll post tomorrow to get all 7 of you caught up. Nite!!!!

P.S. BTW how can anyone throw something away when its endorsed by Chuck Norris???
