Awesome New Weight Loss Tool

Head over to G-map to find a neat tool.  The G-map tool will allow you to map your run or walk using Google maps (at street level) to figure out the exact distance you travel on your morning run/walk.  It even has a calories burned tool added on.  I found out that the morning walk I take, which I thought was 1 mile long, was actually 1.56 miles.  And here I was thinking I was running 20 minute miles.

Day 12 of the Two Week Total Transformation Challenge…

I wrote twelve days ago:

I am starting this week (today) at 171.4 lbs, and 34 3/4 inches of waist. I am shooting for 168.5 lbs and 34 1/2 inches by the end of the week.

Well here I am at day 12.  What can I report?

This morning I weighed in at 167.4 lbs!   Beating my goal TWO DAYS early by OVER a pound.  And that is despite eating a cup of my delicious Sweet Perfection Ice cream- or maybe because of it.  Maybe having that much fiber in my ice cream helps move that one bad ingredient (the whipping cream) through my system all the faster.

An Awesome Workout Video on Youtube…

This is pure hardcore stuff.  Compared to this the “300” Spartan workout looks like sissy stuff…

Crazy Coincidence in the Death of Nancy Benoit…

Well by now anyone who watches the news has seen the latest strange twist in the Chris Benoit murder-suicide saga. Fox reported in an “Exclusive Story” that someone had posted news of Nancy Benoit’s death to Benoit’s Wikipedia entry some 13 hours before the bodies of Chris, Nancy, and Daniel were found by local authorities. Crazy huh?

The Double F Workout…

Here is a workout that is both fun and free.  It won’t cost you a penny and you will smile more than you ever have on a bow-flex, solo-flex, or weight bench.  What is it?

Well first a few clues.  Almost anywhere you go in this great nation you probably won’t have to go to far to find this free gym.  It is open all day and only closes when the sun goes down- but it opens again at sunrise.

Have you guessed yet?  Well if you haven’t here is the answer…

Coming Tomorrow…

Working out or playing around?

Tomorrow’s post will show you where to find ABSOLUTELY FREE fitness equipment, that you can use for MULTIPLE exercises, while enjoying HIGH-QUALITY family time.  Trust me, you will never find a Solo-flex or Bow-flex that you will enjoy as much as the workout equipment I will show you tomorrow.

IT might even feature video- assuming my digital camera is working properly.

DEAL-ISH-EE-O-SO!!! (SWEET PERFECTION ROCKS!!!)

I just had my first bite of vanilla chocolate chip and blueberry ice cream made with sweet perfection sugar substitute. It was delicious. It tasted just like sugar ice creams. Here is what I dropped inside my ice cream maker tonight…

A Huge Coincidence Related to Chris Benoit’s Murder-Suicide…

It has already been revealed that Chris Benoit’s son Daniel had a disorder known as “fragile X.”  That disorder is the leading cause of mental retardation (and “the most common genetic cause of autism” [See]).  That disability may have played a role in Benoit’s choice to kill his son.  If Benoit felt that his son, in his current state, couldn’t handle losing his father and mother, or that no one else could understand or take care of his son, it might have played a role in his decision to kill Daniel.

So here we are, several days later, and scientists have announced a major breakthrough:

US researchers have reversed the symptoms of mental retardation and autism in mice by inhibiting an enzyme that affects the connections between brain cells, researchers said Wednesday.

In a series of experiments on mice, the MIT investigators showed that they could undo the brain damage seen in a condition called Fragile X syndrome by inhibiting a key brain chemical called PAK. [1]

My Immitation All Natural Sugar Came Today…

I am giddy like a school girl. My wife and I just got back from the play ground with Sasha- a great workout by the way- to see the package hanging from our mailbox. Well I couldn’t wait to taste it so I ran inside and tore open the box and the bag inside. I licked my finger, dipped it into the open bag and tasted…

Benoit Update…

In what will hopefully be my last post on this depressing and horrific event, there have been some interest developments over the night in the Chris Benoit story.

1. A timeline of calls and text messages Benoit sent friends and coworkers in the WWE.
2. Benoit’s son Daniel had Fragile X syndrome, a syndrome that causes a form of mental retardation.
3. Benoit has been linked to at least one illegal steroid broker.
4. And weirdest yet, Benoit was giving his son shots of HGH (Human Growth Hormone) because he thought the boy was undersized.
5. Vince McMahon (sort of) apologized on Tuesday night’s ECW program (on SciFi) for highlighting Benoit’s career the previous night and stated that we would not hear about Benoit for the rest of the night.  [WWE has already pulled ALL Chris Benoit merchandise].

While some of this seems to provide a bit more explanation for some his actions, most of this just makes the whole matter more confusing and just plan strange.The media is all over linking this to steroids.  But, I for one, will wait a week or two for the toxicology reports to reveal the truth of that matter.
