To be a much better parent then either of mine were.

have more sex

Thats a goal worth pursuing.

I swear to god I'm going to finish the sunroom that I started rebuilding in 2004.

Not a New Years resolution, but a starting tomorrow resolution. Diet, exercise, and weight loss, so I don't fucking die while hiking Yosemite in June. I've got six months.

:eek::hmmm::cuss::harumph:

I always hate going to the gym from January 1 to January 21st because of all the New Year's resolution people. They just come in for a few weeks, and when they find out they have to do actual work to not be a fat pile of shit, or a weakling they quit. The worst part is how they are always in the way and mosey around clueless. So please, when you go to the gym for your New Year's not to be so fat resolution, please just quit after one day instead of wasting your time for a few weeks.

My new years resolution is to be a nicer person, but the new year hasn't started yet so I'm going to be a bigger asshole than usual for the next week. I'll probably fail at it miserably and go back to being a prick again, but I'll give it a try.

We have a weight room where I work. I love to go in there after work, crank up the tunes (about the only time I listen to heavier music), and go through my routine. I usually switch off. One time I will do stuff like the treadmill, the bike, the stair stepper, and the row machine. Then, the next time, I will do lat pull, crunches, and stuff like that. I usually make my more aerobic exercises last longer.

I did this up until someone told me it wasn't good to work out later at night (I get off of work at 12:30AM). I miss it. Does anyone know if working out late really is bad? I'd go in before work, but the weight room is right next to the conference room. I couldn't turn my music up, and I probably wouldn't work out as long. There are showers in the bathrooms, but you have to literally walk through the conference room to get there.

I thought about trying the low carb diet. I don't think I'd last very long, though.

I'm closing in on my goal of 200 avg. 196 and moving up. I'm moving up a pin for every 50 over average. 200 pins to go and I'll be in the 20 club.


Also just picked up a Columbia Trooper off of Ebay. It should do the trick on our dry lanes.

Pass my classes, don't procrastinate, have fun.

resolution to not make resolutions and inform others to do the same.

It doesn't really matter. It's not "bad" to work out at night, it's just a little bit better to work out in the morning because

1) It helps you build a routine. It's alot harder for most people to work out after a long day of work, and easier to decide not to go. It would also be the first thing you do in the day, so if any shit comes up that day that you have to take care off..at least you already worked out.

2) Morning exercise is said to boost your metabolism helping you burn more calories throughout the day. It can boost your metabolism up to 24 hours.

3) Your levels of stored carbohydrates are normally very low when you wake up first thing in the morning. Wehn you have depleted glycogen and lower blood sugar, you get a better environment to burn fat instead of carbohydrates. Basically, your body has spent all night burning readily available carbs and sugars from the day before..if you start working out right away in the morning then your body has no choice but to burn stored body fat to keep you moving.

I think your human growth hormone level peaks in the middle of your sleep and is still elevated upon waking up. Which should enable you to maintain muscle and lose fat easier.

Personally, I don't notice any difference in what time I work out, but then again I'm not really trying to lose weight. Basically, it's not a big deal what time you work out, but it helps. It's like comparing the 10-6 2005 Chiefs to the 2006 Chiefs, one is just a little bit better.

I have all the equipment I need in my basement; it's just a matter of getting back in the habit of using it. I have no desire to go to a gym and be surrounded by a bunch of arrogant narcissistic assholes who think a defined sixpack somehow makes them better than everybody else, or somehow makes their money greener than everybody else's.

Well, I need to maintain or (even better) improve gradewise. I need to read more and have a better diet. Being nicer is always something to work on as well.

no more nude volleyball. d@mn sand.
