Day Two of Get Fit or Die Tryin’

July 19th, 2009

Second day in and it’s really not going so well! – My motivation seems to have gone walkabout’s and the temptation to eat crap is worsening. The beginning of this goal has to be the hardest part and I’m really feeling it.

I think why I’m eating unhealthy snacks is because I’m not starting the day with breakfast and I should really be eating more smaller meals to make me less hungry throughout the day so I won’t want to snack as much. If I keep going the way I am, I should quit right now I know!

Anywho, here are my stats for today.

Statistics for Today
Water Food Exercised Snacks
1.5 litres consumed 1 Mandarin, Chicken Kiev with Veg, potato croquettes & 2 Yorkshire puds. Punch bag / 25 minutes, 30 minute walk McDonald’s McMuffin’ breakfast, A large slice of apple pie with low fat cream, some dairy milk chocs, 1 glass of coke, 1 glass of finches, 4 custard cream biscuits.

Day One of trying to get into shape – A few notes

July 18th, 2009

So yesterday was supposed to be my first day trying to get into shape, yeah didn’t quite happen. Not a great start eh? Oh well, today I did and it wasn’t too bad. I did eat some cheeky snacks but did manage to workout. I bought a new heavy punch bag to replace my older one and went about 20 minutes on it, which was ok (slow and steady and all that).

Well, to push myself on a bit, here are some current pics of myself that I can hopefully look back on in a year from now:

Statistics for Today
Water Food Exercised Snacks
1 litre consumed Spaghetti Bolognese Punch bag / 20 minutes 6 Pink wafer biscuits, a handful of sweets, 3 small snack chocolate bars, 2 glasses of coke.

Get Fit or Die Tryin’

July 16th, 2009

last-supper

I have been trying to get into shape for the last few months and it’s been the same. 2 or 3 days eating healthy, going to the GYM and feeling good about myself, then I fall of the wagon and starting eating crap (like the gorgeous curry posted) and not exercising. This has got to change before I wake up when I’m 40 and realise ‘Oh Shit!’.

So from tomorrow I will be starting fresh and keeping a log of my diet and exercise schedule and to see if I can get into shape within one year from now. Wish me luck!

United Airlines – Don’t break my guitar

July 9th, 2009

Once a upon a time if you had a bad experience with a company, you would voice your anger to your family and friends and then they might tell a few more people and that was that. Today you have an audience of a few million at your disposal, all thanks to the Internet.

In 2008, Sons of Maxwell were making their way to Nebraska for a tour when Dave Carroll’s Taylor guitar was seen being thrown by United Airlines baggage handlers. Later on when the $3500 guitar was inspected, it was severely damaged. United Airlines gave no compensation to Dave, so what did he do in his frustration? He promised to write 3 songs and make 3 accompanying videos for the whole world to see what United Airlines did!

One of those videos is on Youtube right now with a five star rating and 473,552 views as of this post (It’s also a pretty great song!). I wonder what that will cost United Airlines compared to the $3,500 they should have paid?

The game is most definetly changing.
