I have fallen from the wagon this week into a big pile of cow mess.
I haven’t done any serious exercising since Monday, and even Monday is debatable.
There’s no good reason. No crushing demands on my time. No excuse for me to cling to. But in the interest of learning something from the experience, I will [...]
Weekly Weigh-Ins
Over the last two weeks my weight has formed something that looks a bit like a letter “W” written by a dying man.
I can’t really explain the wild dips. It may be that I’m not weighing myself at the same time every day (I’m not), or it may be that sometimes I weigh myself [...]
The second week has been punched in the mouth and is now lying whimpering and bruised across the curb. Let’s talk about how it went.
Fitness Benchmarks
As I mentioned at the beginning of the week, I was going to add some real world fitness benchmarks to the moon numbers that Wii Fit and Wii Sports hand [...]
While playing Wii Fit today, I noticed that during some of the activities I was getting a strange tingling sensation in my right forearm. At first I just dismissed it as fleas or some creeping fungus, but then while playing Rhythm Boxing it switched for a tingle to something that felt like a line of [...]
Today’s recap is brought to you by: OUTER SPACE!
I’ve been feeling weird today. Spacey. I’ve had trouble remembering things. What I’m doing, passwords, names, etc. It’s not uncommon for me to walk into a room and have no idea what I came in for. But today it’s been like that across just about everything. I’ve [...]
The Pope, a Rabbi, and an otter walk into a bar. The Pope says to the Otter, “I know a man with a wooden leg named smith.” The bartender says, “Get out of my bar.”
I woke up today feeling sore in my neck, shoulders, and thighs. I guess the fitness test and yesterdays, albeit light, [...]
Today marked a wholehearted embrace of water. I had been estranged from this noble liquid for too long. But today I experienced its intoxicating brand of hydration no fewer than 12 times!
The downside of all the water is the need to pee frequently. I’m used to my body giving me a gentle nudge to go [...]
I may as well confess, I’ve got a problem.
Starbucks, I can’t quit you.
I don’t particularly love coffee, in fact I don’t really like the taste at all. As strained bean runoff goes, it’s alright I guess. But for the most part I find the first few sips okay to pleasurable, the middle tolerable, and the [...]
Now that we’re into the second week, we should set up some sort of framework for the next seven days? Right? Come on, whose with me? Baahhh, to hell with you Stanley. On with the planning!
Fitness Benchmarks
Wii Sports and Wii Fit both assign you an “age” that is meant to represent your overall health, lower [...]
Bang Bang! Two shots rang out as the butler scrambled over the upturned end tables toward the maid’s cupboard. Her corset torn on the nail of the false crucifix, a crimson trickle of blood wended its way between her alabaster bosoms, braving the dark crevasse. “Calgon, take me away!” She cried into the night. Before [...]
