Well folks like many people I decided to try to lose weight this year. Purely for health reasons. I mean I am around 275 pounds, maybe more, don't know haven't done the weighing thing in a while and I should honestly be at 215. Problem is I haven't weighed that low since my senior year of high school. So I tried working out a little the last two days and I discovered a few things. For a fairly agile big man, I am too uncoordinated for exercize tapes. My mom recently got one with this ab-revolution piece of gym equipment and I last five minutes before I was tripping over my feet. Not a problem just means I gotta find a better way to do cardio workouts. So I tried doing this thing and man I forgot how much of a pain in the ass crunches are. I managed to do about thirty negative crunches in the 3 minute time frame it says to use it. Then I play around and did about 10 to 15 total crunches where I use the gizmo to pull my knees towards my chest and finish it off by raising the chest to meet my knees. God was that a little painful and definately reminded me how out of shape I am.
IN other news I'm kinda in limbo right now. My job with the radio station has stalled a bit. I check in weekly but being a fill-in guy I can only come in for special projects, vacations and when people are sick. Unfortunately none of those things are happening right now. At Starbucks I am in the process of changing stores and possibly getting promoted. I had the screening interview on Tuesday and I think it went well, but I do not know whether or not I am good to go through. If not I keep plugging away as a grunt worker, but if I do I start training asap. Right now I'm hoping I just haven't gotten a call but I'm going to check in on that in a while. The rest of my life has been pretty boring for the moment. I have been helping out around the house a lot, getting nearly half of our laundry done yesterday. I can't wait until mid February because its likely the next time I get to see Jenny and that always brings a lot of happiness to me. Since its going to be around Valentine's day I want to try to do something romantic, but I'm not sure what yet. Those of you who read this and have suggestions, IM me sometime and we can chat.
Other than that I may have a sports rant building up soon, but I'm going to let it sit for a while.
