Jump Out of Your Skin

Make an appointment with the road.  Write it down on a notebook. Post it on a wall.  Pretend you are meeting a top athlete who you are paying $1000 an hour to jog with you. Visualise that this is the first step to you becoming fit and get a sense of anticipation.  See your self running gently at your ideal pace in your training clothes.  See your self happy at the end of the 30-40 minute work enjoying the post run feeling and enjoying a hot shower.

Or..

You can put off the jog, collapse in front TV,  mope around the house, eat some junk food and cough and sputter over the idea of getting fit.  Grad a beer from the fridge and play with your PC or laptop on the internet/

Funnily enough most people choose the second option – which do you choose?  Even more interestingly you can do both but now want to do the second after doing the first as your energy levels will be higher after exercise

No sooner was the Iphone released in Ireland on July 11th than it sold out immediately. there is no stock in the country and as far as I understand there are similar problems in the UK. Amazing !! Why build the hype when the person interested in the product (who also does not want to wait 3-4-5 weeks for it when it sells out) will just lose interest in it when they can’t get it.

Apple should have waited till they had stock to be honest. But who am I…. (I am still interested to see what they do with the tariff and prices though..)

I weighed myself today and I was 95 kilos. I do this on an industrial scales in work for packages (it is consistent and where I have being weighing myself over the past couple of years). My weight has fluctuated between 94 and 95 kilos for the past 6 months.

As I did this one of my work friends jokingly shouted over “You’ll never see a six pack again”…. I have several major problems with this statement.

• He only knows me for a few years (3) so for all he knows I had a six pack for every day of my life up to recently (which of course I haven’t as I have been the same weight give or take 4-6 pounds for the past 16-18 years
• It put me in a bucket – The Over 40 Boring Old Fart Buck”
• He assumed that it was impossible for me to have a six pack at my age (40 by the way).
• So f**k him I said to myself – the gloves are off I am going back to the goals I posted before on this blog and I am going to kick ass and go somewhere I have NEVER been before. I am going to become physically something I have not ever been. Lean, fit, and with a six pack.

I have a stack of books, magazines and work out clothes that are the materials. Now all I need is the focus. I am just finished some anti-biotics for a cold so have not been active for the past week or so here is the zero based marker for Wed July 23rd 2008.
