Periodical Workout Thread ...

Okay. I'm going to do this.

If several of you are swearing by "Burn the Fat" then BTF it is. I will scour the information to try to get things down to an exact science (right down to the 5 or 6 daily meals and planning the correct number of calories for me...my biggest dread. Who the hell wants to plan a meal around a measuring cup???)

I will spend the next couple of days getting ready in the ways I need to get ready to mentally prepare myself for the work that lay ahead and target Monday, March 3rd as Day 1. (Also, it gives me one last hurrah type weekend to have some cold drafts and BBQ tri tip.) Ahem. But I'm gonna do this.

I'll get my notepad going and document my progress, or lack of progress, frustrations and whatever else I feel I need to jot down. I'll get a vision board and pin a big fat calendar on it where I can X the days I went to the gym so I can visually see my day to day commitment to the unveiling of ‘mantini day’. I will title this board “Man Boobs be Damned!” I will even cut out pictures of men in speedos with physiques with which I aspire and tack them on the board. Not that there’s anything wrong with it. I will figure out my Body Mass Index. I will even figure out to the very last calorie how many I should consume daily to be on the fast track to losing weight. Yeah, fast track. I said it. So, to all of you fitness pundits who swear by the creedo “heyyyy, you shouldn’t lose more than ½ to 1 pound a week…it’s the healthy way to gooo” save it. I ain’t listening. I am well prepared to do intensive ultra sacrificial work. That should entitle me to at LEAST 3-4 pounds a week at bare minimum. I want the tits gone by Easter.

Heck, I might even swallow my pride and take a ghost white Rosemary Clooney-like picture of myself in all my glorious man-boobness holding the day’s newspaper. Hell, it’s for a good cause. Summer is a comin’.

I'm committing to this publicly via this thread to use it as supreme motivation. I keep telling myself "I need to do this" but now it’s out there. And so it must be done.

Now if you’ll excuse me I need to go and get myself an ice cold corona. Go time is on its way…

Hey Rick, I'd be more than happy to help you out with your fitness goals. I've been into this stuff for close to 20 years now, so I think I know what I'm doing... :cheesy:

If I wasn't an actor/director, I'd definitely be a personal trainer... :thumbsup:
 
my bike got jacked off my front porch 2 months ago (sheds a single tear)

but I'm getting a new one friday, so I'll be back on that sucker and peddlin the extra winter pounds off

biking + boxing + kettlebell training = in shape for the spring/summer, ready to be unleashed on the ladies

by ladies I mean my gf who is glaring at me right now as I type this :-(
 
yeah pretty much.

our house is kinda small, so no matter where I'm at.... she's always watching.. glaring.. plotting..








I think she has also planted some sort of "hidden camera" in our dog somewhere

he always seems to be learing at me from a cubby hole

Yes! It's the science I am most focused on!!! I can't wait to add science to getting in shape.

As an avid on again off again gym goer, I have always started a routine with 1/2 of intense cardio followed by another 1-1and1/2 hours weights. So, I'm good there. That transition will be very smooth for me. Its the attention to detail with my diet I am really anxious to get started.

The whole 5-6 meal a day thing and precise calorie counting...I'm intrigued by the possibilities. Growing up, I've always been in decent shape. But, the past 4ish years I've put on stupid pounds. I know how to work out. I don't know how to lose weight. At 36, this is completely foreign to me. So, I appreciate the input. That goes for everybody. This thread has struck a chord with me.

It feels good to get amped up about the gym again. It ain't no community Mud Run. But, its my Mud Run...

I am so on and off again

I go through about 2 serious periods a year in physical goals

Usually Jan (After Holiday) until about May

Then chill for Summer

Then start up again around September until November

Chill for Holiday

But ...

I always play tennis and/or basketball (year round mostly) and always eat well (At least during the weekdays so I can become a Carne eating Whino on the weekends)

:evil:

Thanks Tom. I appreciate it. And, will probably be taking you up on this offer. We should set DVXUSER up with a red hot Commissioner style Bat Phone in case of emergencies.

'Tom. Its Rick. I was just offered a plate of Corned Beef and Cabbage and a pint of Harps! Come get me the hell outta here?"
 
I've been avoiding this thread, simply because the day I started hitting the gym (I think it was Monday), I was going to start eating healthier...and I did, but I also drank every night this week too! I've worked out everyday and drank every night. It's counter-productive and it's strange that it's happened, because I don't normally drink every night. It just has come up...well no more!

Drinking will ONLY commence on weekends from now on. That is my solemn oath.

Good ol' bench press today! Had lots of power, man I love it!

Stayed 2 hours at the gym, little bit too long, but it was really fun :) I am really tired, but it feels so great.

And once again. Try to find a trainingspartner, that is so motivating.
 
Operated Steadicam on some car commercials (including an infomercial). Ate Mexican food. I think they offset each other. :undecided
 
Awesome workout today !

My mile was no where near 8:36 today due to yesterdays lower body slam (Today was a 9:15 Mile with a total of 1.82), but still ran my Intervals

But

The upper body workout was rad ! Whew ...............

And I ollied today like 6" off the ground ! LOL LOL
 
Serious restraint and dedication there John. I was debating skipping the gym today due to bad weather and road conditions. Now, I'll just jog to the gym haha.

Tick tock. Tick tock...the countdown continues. Operation BTF starts Monday. I plan to read more but I'll be good to go by then. First day is always the hardest...but thats what sucking it up is for.
 
Rick

I swear, if you do this; in 6 - 8 weeks you're gonna be like WTF ?!

Proud of all of you ! = )

My run today was hard; quads and thighs just worked

But when I was done; bliss.

Would definately give a dollar to see this :shocked:

Today is a day off. Yesterday was a short, but hard training again. Love doing deadlifts, comes right after benchpress. It is such a strain for the whole body, just feels great :love4: Then some shrugs and shoulders afterwards.

Tomorrow will be running again :)
