00101010 Train of Thought

Woke up this morning and I actually gained a pound.  So I started day 2 at 271 pounds.  Felt good today, was hungry by the end of the day.  This is going to be an interesting week….

Well today turned out to be an interesting day.   It started with wanting to go see Captain America.   I haven’t seen a movie in the theater since May when Thor came out.   So I met up with Magnus at noon and saw Captain America.  Right after that was over we got in the car and drove to the dollar theater (well $2).  Got to our seats just as the movie started after the previews, perfect timing.  This movie was X-Men First Class.  After that was over we left the theater, got in line and got tickets for Thor.   3 great Marvel superhero movies.  it was a quite relaxing day out of the heat.  It was a good thing Green Lantern wasn’t playing anywhere right now otherwise I probably would have seen that too.

The other thing that happened today was that I started a week long cleanse.   At the end of last week I watched “Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead”.  The documentary had a guy who lost a bunch of weight by doing a 60 day juice fast.   While I didn’t want to go to that extreme right now I am going to try this for this week.  Nothing but juice.  Mostly to try to cleanse/reboot my system.  I’m hoping that I can keep up with it.   At the start of today i was 270 pounds.   Being in the theater all day long helped with the cravings.  I do want something to eat, but I’m going to try get through this.    Hopefully by the end of it I will have lost some weight and have more energy.    It seems like the first 3 days are the roughest to get through.    I think I can get through Monday ok, but Tuesday I’m going to want taco’s and Wednesday I might want wings, and Thursday is Rio day.   It is going to be an interesting week.

Work ended great.  Beer is cheap, but beer!  Woo woo woo

First post of my daily photo.  Hopefully they will be based on how the day went? Or ill just upload a good picture each day.

Trying to get ready for the Warrior’s Dash. This is going to be interesting, not sure how I thought it was a good idea. I ‘m still having trouble getting up in the morning to accomplish anything before work.

Progress:
Starting Weight: 5/8/2011 – 271 lbs.
Current Weight: 5/10/2011 – 266.4 lbs.

That looks good, but no way that pace is keeping up. I tried to walk/run last night. did almost 4 miles in an hour. Decent walking pace, but no where near being able to run that length yet. I’m going to have to start uploading some progress pictures.

After Free Comic Book Day I decided that I was going to try to make a giant Settlers of Catan board for Park Ave Fest.   I wonder if 12″ hexes are going to be big enough.  Thats going to be around a 5 foot diameter board + the water on the outside.    That will be pretty fun.  Then have to make all the settlements, cities, and roads.   Keep tuned for progress and pictures.

Signed up for the Warrior’s Dash on Friday.  I must be nuts.  I am completely out of shape and have 3 months to get ready for this.  I am going to upload pictures and status of my training progress along the way.  Hopefully I don’t kill myself.

I started off after work on Friday with a 7 mile walk,  decent 17 min/mile pace for a walk.  Good way to get back into the things.   Not sure the starting weight yet, will have to update later on.

2011, its a new year and I’ve got some stuff I want to do.

• Keep the blog updated/interesting.
• Get back into Photography.
• Complete the Rio Challenge.
• Run the Warriors Dash.
• Lose 40 Pounds.
• Visit the “Countries” of New York.
• Finish making a game.

2011 is time to make some money, accomplish some goals and take over the world.   No more sitting and doing nothing, no more not finishing things,  its time to make a difference!
