Okay, not messin’ around here this time. The workouts are shorter. Plus, I’m in need of a really good fat shredding.
So the wife and I picked up Insanity. 60 days of ridiculous plyometrics and cardio. It’s going to be a beautiful thing. That’s if I don’t crash from my 3X body falling to the terror of too much sweating of bullets!
Day 1: Fit Test 1 complete. Today marks weight X. It’s on…

A friend sent me this inspiring speech the other day. I’ve been passing it around only because it’s just so simple and meaningful, but the message is clear. There are certain things in the life balance that are just more important and delicate than others and they need to be valued.
30 second Speech by Bryan Dyson (CEO of Coca Cola)
“Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them – work, family, health, Friends and spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the Air.
You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.
But the other four Balls – Family, Health, Friends and Spirit – are made of glass. If you drop one of these; they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. “
2010: 20 lbs. 10 months. That was my resolution during New Years. What a ridiculous and crazy goal, but it’s doable. Totally doable… So, this Fat Tuesday, I’m dropping sweets and sugars. I’m thinking I’m already going to fail… but gotta give it a shot. Constant vigilance!
You know, I lived in California for a couple of years in the early 2000s and maybe experienced one or two very small earthquakes. Nothing “earth shattering”. So, imagine my surprise to be woken up this morning by an earthquake of a magnitude of 3.9 with an epicenter maybe 3 miles west of where I live. The sucker lasted a good 7 seconds. I really thought it was a snow plow from last night’s blizzard, but it felt more like the snow plow was scraping against the house. Wow! Snow in the west coast, earthquakes in the midwest. The world is turning upside down, huh?
The Chessmen gathered at White Bishop’s restaurant for some Superbowl. I couldn’t say I was rooting for either of the Saints or the Colts, but I’d have to say that the Saints had a well deserved win… We played some Texas Hold’em during halftime. I need to play poker more…
Last time I went through this blogging business, I tried as much as possible to change the names to protect the innocent. It’s not like people can’t figure out who is who, but just for ridiculous fun I’m going to codename 6 of my buddies as chess pieces. So for you fellas… White Bishop, White Knight, White Rook, Black Bishop, Black Knight, and Black Rook. This post is for you. Who is the King you ask? Well, me of course… duh.
Well here it is… after taking about a day to digest the 2 hour season premiere of Lost, I can only express how excited I am to have the show back on TV. And what a doozy of a start. I can’t really say much at present with risk to my friends who haven’t seen the episode yet, but I can say that I give it a thumbs up. Lots of questions still left to answered, but surprises are still coming. Wow!
In an attempt to try to keep with my writing, I’m testing out the wordpress site from my Blackberry. The interface looks different, and there’s only so much you can get out of the Blackberry Browser for now, but hey, this works…
Ready, click, publish…
Lost!
In anticipation for the final season of one of the best TV shows out there, I finally hunkered down last week and purchased the first 5 seasons of Lost on DVD to revisit some of the best the show had to offer already.
Here I am on the eve of the final season premiere, and I hope it’s gonna be a great kick-off to a homestretch for some of the most fascinating characters I’ve seen on TV. Can’t wait. I’ll chime in on my reviews this season.
