Scared

2011-04-08T10:50:00.001-07:00

I hope I weigh in at 189ish on Sunday. I've been eating a lil more than normal and not the good stuff. Exercise has also taken a knee. I'm pushing the check in until Sunday am.

190.5 - Sunday morning @ Publix

Yesterday was most def a cheat day with a cuban, roast pork / beans / rice / corn for lunch + dinner... plus a 1.5 hour nap plus lots of sleep recently. Sick amounts of sleep. Going to bed early and waking up after 6pm... still getting brain spun up when I wake but its getting easier to spin it back down for Zzz.

A New Hope

Adipose Tissue Strikes Back

Man. Do you know who is a champ? King Pheenix. I think he's help reboot my fitness regime for the Scrub Club Gain HP game

This AM I rolled out of bed and hit the streets, then went for a cool down swim (trying to work the upper body) in a pool. NikePlus says Steven Rush ran 2.87 mi on 6/26/2010 at 8:27 AM. My previous effort in the hot, humid Florida MORNINGTIME was .51 miles. Thanks KPX!

if youze would like to be my Nike running buddy whatever or would like to see my running metrics, you need this link.

Breakfast was some cran juice and most of a banana. Last night was some carbo tots, black bean burger on wheat roll and salad.

Let me get real, fools. The easiest time in my life to lose weight and game muscle mass was when I had no girlfriend and poor self-esteem. I would hit the gym with angst. Sticking to eating a can of tuna for dinner (or some wheat crackers & salsa) was pretty easy. The second easiest time to be into fitness was when I had a girlfriend who was very much into fitness and who's 5K time was almost HALF of mine. This time in my life I have an awesome girlfriend who isn't much into working out/running/etc (but who is still incredibly supportive of me and will do yoga with me and go for walks) and have much better self-esteem. I have little hate and anger towards my body to harness in the gym. I guess that's a good thing. I still need some sort of Joseph Campbell-esque "talisman" to harness and to give me that mental edge. Perhaps the Gain HP game will do that?

Also, I was hesitent to post a shirtless picture of myself on the internet. Odd right? Especially since there is VIDEO of me dancing around on stage shirtless with Rappy McRapperson.

Metrics:
Weight = 202 lbs (gym yesterday)
Waist = 38 inches (exhaled, today)

205.8 lbs

This is depressing! After running x3 a week and hitting the gym x3 a week? Clearly I need to cut crap out of my diet. I feel a bit less fatty and more muscly but I'd like to be losing L-B's on the scale. I really need to start tracking body fat percentage because this is not encouraging stuff.

EDIT: 205.2 after peeing. meh.

friday weigh in

2009-11-20T09:07:00.001-08:00

after running 3 times this week and hitting the gym 3 times this week.

205.5lbs

unable to get a body fat measurement at the gym today. i think diet modification needs to come. i think i'm taking in too many calories? i do feel i'm losing fat (no change in waste) and feel i'm gaining muscle. i think shirts look better on me. let's just pretend i'm trading fat for muscle. next week is thanksgiving, turkey protein pig out?

the Bad News:
It's 2009 and I weigh around 205 pounds. That's 25 pounds of fat want to lose and gain back some muscle mass.

the Good News:
For Christmas I got a new iPod Nano and the Nike+ kit! This has gotten me starting to run again. The iPod Mini has trickled down to the girlfriend. I got an armband and have been running a few times. Apple & Nike really have a neato system with this.

iTunes8 is a LOT less annoying than whatever previous version I was using which frustrated me. I've even subscribed to a few podcasts. It's really awesome how automagically new stuff gets plopped on your iPod. As I keep on saying, Apple is pricy, but its also a bit like living in the future.

The rice was the worst part. The beef + refried beans were actually pretty good. It's a bit scary its sooo salty and is room temperature stable and all that. Yummy preservatives! It's like 600 calories for lunch and it was all garbage. Not happy Bob.

snack: fruit. hell yes.
snack2: handful of nuts
snack3: packet of oatmeal (plain) flavored/heated with coffee. please oatmeal... scrub away the filth i ate for lunch. this tastes like ass, so therefore, it must be great for me. UGH. okay, i had to tame the greatness with some hot cocoa powder.

today my mom dropped off some GirlScout cookies I paid for when I was over their house. I think I bought 3 boxes. Mom opened one up, ate some cookies and realized she needed to get the other boxes in my hands as soon as possible otherwise she'd eat them. I put them in the fridge and tried to forget about them. THIN MINTS ROCK!!!!1111!!!one!! Why are Girl Scouts allowed to deal drugs? I sense a double standard...

Can I blog from the toilet? A restauant? From a toilet inside a restaunt? We shall see. I had two number 2's today. Weee!

edit: I deleted my corporate Confidentiality Notice from the end of the post. I was able to email an address and post to the fitness blog. I can poop and post at the same time. That's synergy baby!

sleep

2008-02-20T10:15:00.000-08:00

it was almost 12am when i looked up from working on music and giving a hard few listens to a friend's new/magical piece. damn! i was wanting to watch the new Knight Rider.... should I stay up and sit in front of the tv... or read a few pages and go to bed? seeing how I worked out earlier that night... going to sleep/repair mode won out. sad sad... so responsible! i have a twinge of disgust.

wednesday

2008-02-20T06:07:00.000-08:00

bfast: had 3/5ths? 1/2? ... some Smart Start Anti-Oxidants Edition cereal, no milk when I got up. at work, i'm drinking 1/2 of the Naked protein drink (250 cal, 20g protein).

lunch: oat bran pita, spicy hummus, ham, sliced yellow peppers, 1/2 tomato = yum. if i wasn't in a hurry i would have added spinach for YELLOW+RED+GREEN vegetabley goodness. Today it was just yellow+red. I think all of my spinach is wilted and shit anyway.

dinner: studio night @ redvoid's hizzy. TASTY smoked turkey (salty!), jalapeno pepper jack cheese, bacon, guaca, roma tomato, russian dressing panini sandwich on olive oil basted french bread, 150cals of chips and a great, awesome, tasty chocolaty cookie, and 2 pickles. water. did i enjoy this? heck yes i did bitch!

music

2008-02-19T18:17:00.000-08:00

shit. i'm on a roll. might as well keep typing right? dumping songs to the ipod and making a playlist rocks. music while working out helps keep up the vibe. honestly, i just can't run/workout without music. it engages a certain part of my brain. it can make me dance.

if you work out. you need a mp3 player. or hint hard for one. or go to best buy. whatever you budget is, you'll find one. you don't need a candy ass model (my ipod mini was free tho!) just kick ass music.

and i recommend ear buds for working out। get that shit.

mon+tues food

2008-02-19T18:04:00.000-08:00

After a recent bout with gastroenteritis, i was more aware of the food i was putting into my body... basically because i had to only have a liquid diet (broth, pop-sick-les, apple juice, gatorade (it has electrolytes!) and then the BART diet (bananas, applesauce, rice, toast). I'll take this time to create a blog about the food and fitness I'm doing with my body so I can later abandon said blog. Or Not. We'll see how long this goes.

Monday: bfast: Banana. Rice & broth. lunch: 7-11 turkey&cheese sammich on 'cracked wheat'. 1/2 of a protein drink. a handful of Combos (a treat damnit!!!) dinner: 1/2 Kashi pizza, some prunes. Dinner was only an amazing 435+40=475 calories. I'm sure I ate a deficit.

Tuesday: bfast: 1/2 Kashi pizza, some prunes. lunch: smartstart cereal & water. can of soup (40 or 80 calories?) lunch#2: SBDiet PB cereal bar (140cal, 10g pro). workout=back+bicep+cardio(20mins) dinner: tuna (175cal) 1.5 HB Eggs 1oz low moisture part skim mozzarella cheese. applejuice+diet mt.dew (dessert bish!) - at the gym i weighed in at 196lbs with ipod (3.6oz)

I can see how planning out what you're going to eat helps prevent you from eating crap. Perhaps tomorrow I'll be up early enough to take some smart start cereal (ants ate my raisin bran, damnit) and HB eggs and microwavable meal to work.

edit: planning to eat also seems to save money... or at least, keeps you eating what you already bought rather than buying something with wallet money and letting things in the pantry expire (banana nut bread, Jiffy)
