It’s amazing how time flies. I meant to write this post 4 days ago and it totally passed me. Hope nobody’s been waiting. ::Nervous laugh::
As I mentioned in my last post, there’s a reason why I cannot and will not eat pizza for a while. It’s nothing against pizzas in general, I don’t hate them or anything. In fact some of my best friends are pizzas. It’s just that they’re so good but so fattening! And fat is a No-No for the next few weeks. Here’s the thing: I have made an oath to get healthy and fit in the next 12 weeks with some of my buddies. Actually it’s more than an oath, it’s a competition and you know how I like to win!
So here’s my gameplan. Work out everyday day and rest on the 7th day. Eat six healthy meals a day, small portions of course, and avoid junk foods and sodas. Water is the way to go. My meals consist of a protein source, a carbohydrate source, and a vegetable or two. It’s not one of these dramatic “chicken and pineapple” diets or the ever infamous “popcorn diet”. That stuff will probably kill ya. No, I am embarking on the road of healthy eating and living. This road is long and hard but I’ve already written out my goals and my deadline and I’ve got people cheering me on. So come the final week of October I should be the healtiest dude in the world! Or at least in my… room.
As far as my workouts I will most likely restrict it to insane aerobic workouts inside and outside of my gym/dojo. I know my coach knows some sick routines of sit-ups, push-ups, lunges, shadow-boxing, squats and many more excercises that will push my body to the limit. Ideally I would be doing some weight-training as well but we don’t have many dumbbells here at the house. No worries, I’ll find a way.
Three cheers for health!
Well it’s time to talk about Summer Camp at Fort Myers with The Movement. It was a blast. We did the usual awesome activities: wave running, banana boating, parasailing, scavenger hunting, fine dining, team forming, water splashing and of course sun-tanning. As you can tell from my current picture, I’m blacker than ever. That sun was just pulsing against my back and front and face. As is the annual custom, I had a bad case of Racoon Face at camp. That’s what I get for not wearing enough sunblock on my face while rockin’ my shades. Speaking of shades, I lost my 3 year old Bolle sunglasses in the water while waverunning with Higor. I thought it would be a gas to have him fly off while riding, so I did a deep turn at full speed while we were both standing up and before I knew it we were both floating like a pair of wounded clownfish and flapping towards the jetski, which was about a good 20 feet away. Yeah, we flew.
I decided not to take many pictures this year, seeing how everyone else had a camera and I could enjoy my time there without having to keep track of my equipment. The only pictures I took were incriminating ones of all my bunk mates sleeping like the half-awake, lazy monkey butts they are. Embarrassing.
There were plenty of fun games to play and before you ask which team won, I’ll have to remind you of who wins every year at summer camp. If you said Kenny, you are incorrect. If you said Milky, you are way off. If you said me, then you’re really really correct. I tend not to brag about many things, but they all expect me to this year so I will. Na-Na-Ne-Boo-Boo. Alright that’s enough of that.
Besides fun and games and food, there were lots of great conversations going on. I got pulled aside on a few occasions by some really sincere dudes with questions. Fortunately a lot of the things we discussed are issues I have had to deal with myself. It really is a blessing to help the highschool kids when they ask for it. I hope I can continue to be available to them for advice or help. Others have done that for me and it has really changed my perspective on life and people. Thank you guys.
Right now there’s a pizza box in the kitchen with my name on it, but I refuse to answer her call. I’ll explain tomorrow. Goodnite all you marsupials.
