Yes of course the blog was about Nancy and more importantly it was about her Kool-Aid drinkers…..I was on this site about 18 months ago found it to be an interesting place……reading about Nancy’s everday movements and her followers everyday movements has turned it into a boring site…….your assessment was correct I am a jerk for spending and hour and half on my writing my blog yesterday…..don’t know what it says for the people that spend 3 hours a day, seven days a week blogging about thier everyday movemnts……so best of luck to all………..

My quest to be top blogger…..

Does anyone know how much the top blogging postion pays?……please read my previous blog……”A day in the life of Lance”…….I have spent the last 90 minutes trying to be the most popular blog of the day…..I reached that spot want to see if I could hold unto it…..I woke up at 0500 today and posted right away……I wanted to get the number one spot…..and at 0500 there is no one on this site……but damn someone beat me to it……next week I might set my alarm for 0259…..and at 0301 hit the enter button that might just work…..

so you people in the know……is the first spot of the day Eastern Daylight time or Pacific Coast time?……..I did figure out if you hold a conversation on your own blog it counts as comments……how clever……

So to all Nebwies……you are not that important to the Buddy Slim community…….if you stick around awhile you might be able to understand the blogs……since they are so personal in nature…..you will learn the names of spouses, dogs and mother in laws…..hang in there until you are welcomed into these social clicks……

I guess the new people love reading blogs about herculin work outs efforts……I know when I feeling really down on my body image…..and barely in shape that I can even type I want to know about exotic work outs and someone being braggadocious…….

Anyway you top bloggers the number of comments to beat today is 20…….I am sure I didnt set the bar high enough…….you can do it ladies……I might have a shot it is a holiday weekend and I know the winners on this site those who have lost weight will be out enjoying their new bodies and energy……..time for me to enjoy mine…….have a gret day…..

A day in the life of Lance…….

Two weeks of weight gain……..weekend and alcohol issues……I have decided to take it easy and try not to be perfect……I allowed myself to eat off plan on the weekend……and during the week I strayed……I am happy where I am right now…..so as long as I can maintain…..it would be a good thing……

I must have tricked my system……I lost 4lbs this week…….

I love my pacemaker………

This morning I went out for my walk/jog……its been a great week for exercise….my legs are coming back…..the last 3 days in a row I have been able to jog 2 or miles without any walking…..this morning I started my walk/jog the legs felt tired….so I decided to walk an extra block before I started to jog….I started to jog my legs were sluggish…so I went back to walking….”Okay George lots of walking today”….started to jog again…and that’s when by best friend chipped in and gave me a hand….

A few years ago…..I had a healt condition…..he was called FLU….Fat, Lazy and Unhealthy…..my doctor ordered me to get a pacemaker…..the pace maker is my IPOD……it is the classic IPOD….it has 80K of memory….in my pacemaker….I have over 6,000 songs….classical, punk rock, blues….etc and etc…..I also have the bible…..many books….it is the heart of my exercise program…..

so I’m trodding along……and the pacemaker…..which I play on shuffle…love to be surprised…..me and my pacemaker are in sync most times….and days like today….my pacemaker sensed what I needed to hear….as I was struggling with my body and mind…..a meditation came on my pacemaker….it was to cleanse my Root Chakra….normally I would skip over this and get back to music…I said to myself maybe you need to hear this…..by the time the track was over my mind was totally clear and my legs felt fine……I continued my jog…..just I started back to the house….my pacemaker played Bruce Springsteen’s “The Rising”….it is such a good song…it starts slow and the tempo gets faster and faster….before I even realized it….Im basked in sunlight chugging at a fast clip…..and then bam……..AC/DC live…..and the heart is racing and the sweat was pouring off the body…..my battery is extra charged today…..the weather is great….and I am looking at a 5 day weekend….

Where is Spring?

It was 41 friggin degrees out this morning went I went out for my jog………I am so happy that the adminstration and 65 percent of the population are willing to bankrupt the nation to combat “Global Warming…….btw if you havent been paying attention…….they changed the name “Climate Change”….and they also changed the name of “Green Economy”…..it is know known as “Clean Economy”……..the whole nation should be required to read George Orwells classic 1984………its happening 25 years after his prediction…….We have a new language its called “NEWSPEAK”.

Just a little ranting………this morning had a great jog…….I just started wogging…….a combination of walking and jogging……I am trying to get my running legs back……it is a process……even though I have cardio strength…..my legs have not been up to the task…….I have stop weight training on my legs……and it is paying off…….today I had my first 2 1/2 mile jog……….with no walking involved……like Leonard DiCaprio said “I am on top of the world”………

Mind and Body Connection

Friday was a killer for me…..no exercise…..and a 15 hour drive….I have a problem with my right hamstring….had to drive with cruise control…and when I wasn’t able to use the cruise….my leg would be in pain….not as young as I used to be…..so the drive took its toll

Saturday morning I was feeling really tight…..after 2 cups of coffee and prescription strength ibuprofen…..I was slightly ready to go out for my walk/jog…..I needed to pay attention to my body and not my mind….my body was telling me….you need to take it easy…..more walking less jogging….the mind is saying today is your long day…..plus you missed yesterday…..start my walk….and at the second stop sign I usually start my jog….my body said not ready…..so I continued walking….normally by the 1/2 mile my body is feeling good and the mind is cleared of the cob webs….not happening…this continued throught my work out session….

you really need to listen what your body is telling you…..like when you body is tired….your mind takes over convinces you can push yourself and ignore getting rest….eventually the body speaks louder and there are consequences to pay….

when you are eating correctly…..the body is telling you it likes it…you’re peaceful and energetic….but the mind tells you it wants more food or food that is not healthy…..the body then tells you its going to get fatter and sluggish…..

When I went to the gym yesterday I did light weights and light cardio….I felt pretty good taking it easier yesterday….the light workouts is what the body needed yesterday……and today I feel stronger and will most likely have stronger workouts….

You really need to listen to both your mind and your body….you need to realize which one is telling the truth…..somedays the body is doing good and the mind is telling lies….you can’t work out today you have too many things to do….go ahead eat that donut nothing will happen to you….

It is important that you exercise the mind…..I read every day,meditate and do yoga twice a week…..I find that if I ignore the mind……my thinking gets out of whack…..and the body follows….

Drove 15 hours with out my energy pills……

Yesterday was in the car for 15 hours…….and the secret to any long drive is in the snacking…..did pretty good no chips…..some energy bars…..3 big cups of coffee instead of 5…….only one greasy meal…….and the biggest accomplishment did not get a large bag of M & M with peanuts……on the way home I usally eat the whole bag…..about 10 servings worth…..it really helps with the boredom…..so the trip was a success so I only feel slightly crappy this morning instead of feeling really crappy……

If you exercise you lose weight…….

I have put on 6lbs in the past 2 weeks……”summer is here and there is dancing in the streets”…….I have partied the last 2 weekends away…….and have followed my eating plan haphazardly during the week…..that is why I am where I am…….

In the news lately there have been many stories about how exercise alone will not cure our obesity problem and lack of exercise is not the cause of obesity…….I have come to figure this out……

Here is a typical week of exercise for me…………I work out 7 days a week……I do on average 300-42o minutes on the eliptical machine………180 - 240 minutes of jog/walking……200 - 250 minutes of weight lifting and take at leasst 2 hours of yoga……in the past 2 weeks I haven’t missed any workouts and still managed to gain 6 lbs……

I need to make a decision to make and that is to party or not to party……..if I continue at the rate that I started the summer off……..come fall I might have to knock off 20 lbs…..

I hit a milestone 2 weeks ago……for the first time in at least 25 years I weighed under 200 lbs….I hit the 199 mark……..and it been all down hill since……so going on the physco babble side of things…..I guess I sub consiously set myself up for failure……

I want to get back into the 190’s and stay there for the summer…….

Monday….Monday

“Tell me why I don’t like Mondays….I will shoot the whole day”……..para phrasing from a song from years ago……the girl who didn’t like Monday’s that shot up a school yard…..

I don’t like Mondays becasue of the good time I have on the weekend…..this weekend was my second weekend in a row……where I just completely went off my eating plan……and alcohol involved since Friday……

On a good note……I did lots of exercise…….and was good with eating most of the day……but lost control by the end of the day…….touched all 3 bases……ice cream, french fries and pizza……..and plenty apple crumb pie….

Last week I had a gain…….and most likely will have a gain for the upcoming week……the winter is so easy for me……I do nothing on the weekends except read……not the case once the weather breaks and it is broken……

feeling a little spent this morning from abusing my self with eating and drinking…….going out for my morning walk/jog……the good news is on Saturday probably jogged for a mile and half without stopping….

everybody a good day…..
