Update Season VI - "A New Day Dawning"

[Joe Biden 2020]

I have taken 5 fish pills so far and I've definitely had some fish breath and burping!  This could get interesting as I take more pills!

Or you could act like a normal 30-year-old, most of who are not on fish oil pills, and control your cholesterol.  But to do that, you'll have to stop stuffing your face with unhealthy food.  Imagine that - you'll be skinny, which means you'll be more attractive, and you won't stink like fish!  You'll practically be a normal human being by that point!

I hear that totally.  I've already laid the groundwork on massive changes.  I just have to remember that it's not going to happen overnight, just like these bad habits didn't happen overnight.  I've already been drinking a good amount of water in the past two weeks, usually around 4-5 glasses a day.  I'm going to up that to 7-8 a day and only allow myself a coke at dinner and only if I've had at least 4 glasses of water.  If I manage to pull off 8 glasses of water, I will allow myself 2 cokes.  Some studies suggest doubling the water intake versus the soda intake.  For a 12 oz can of coke that would be 3 glasses of water (24 oz).  I don't feel that's enough given my situation.  This is why I'm going to do 4 glasses of water to one can of coke.  When it comes to food, we've already been incorporating more fresh fruits, we've got apples, bananas, and oranges as our snacks.  We'll soon add grapes.  We're trying to cut down on the amount of meat we fix for dinner.  Mom is already limited to 6-8 oz of meat a day, so I can start limiting myself to maybe 10-12 oz.  My kidneys are not in as bad a shape as hers are, but I want to take steps now to prevent them from going that direction because kidney trouble runs in her side of the family.  Her brother has had a history of kidney stones and her grandpa (my great-grandpa) had kidney disease late in his life.  That's why the doctor has kicked me off taking Aleve or Ibuprofen.  Now, I'll just take one anti-inflammatory pill every morning, and maybe some Tylenol later on in the day if I'm stiff or sore.  The doctor got on to me about my weight.  This doctor is so much better than the last one I had because he understands how serious my weight issue really is.  He's given me tools and tips on how to get this weight down so now its up to me to put it into practice.

OK, you said you were going to make changes months ago, yet you're still obese, and haven't really improved that much.

Why are you basing your Coke intake off of your water intake?  That's not going to help much.  If you have 4 glasses of water and a Coke, yet you sit on the couch all day or you have 8 glasses of water and 2 Cokes, not much has changed.

Why not base your Coke intake off of how much you exercise?  Say, if you exercise by walking a mile (and that means going out expressly for walking, not including any walking you would have to do that day), you get 1 Coke, but if you walk 2 miles, you get 2 Cokes?

Oh, I definitely agree I need exercise.  I'll be honest, I've been lazy in that regard.  I get outside and walk maybe once or twice a year.  My mother and grandmother have talked about walking around our property, but we haven't done it, yet.  I'm seriously thinking about one of these days going down to the Harrah Park just a few miles away that has a nice walking trail.  Whatever it is, I need to get up off my lazy bum and get moving.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

OK - so agree to my proposition.  You can have as many Cokes as you walk in a day.  Trust me, man... that's not hard or extreme.  Ideally, I'd say limit it to Cokes per miles jogged, but we can work our way up to that.

Sounds like a plan.  I will walk Monday Morning while its still cool out, then while I'm watching Opening Day Monday afternoon and evening, I'll do some other conditioning such as triceps, hamstrings, biceps, and such.  I would start tomorrow, but I'll be leaving for church at 8:30 and will be busy with family through about 14:00 or 15:00.  While I'm watching Opening Night Baseball tomorrow night I can also do some triceps, hammys, etc.

I am going to make a pact with myself. I am never going to read this thread again. Period! (Unless there is a report perhaps, and then I might check the post.) Bushie doesn't even want to have a f'ing conversation. It is all about him, all the time, the fat narcissist. It is as if he is deaf. I'm done. Jeez! You are very lucky that  I'm not your parent, that is all I have to say (unless you have really severe mental problems that you are not fessing up to - like some form of psychosis, in which event you need to get back on your meds).

The Update is definitely not for everyone!

bushie walks once or twice a year?!?

thanks for reminding me again why red states suck...they arent pedestrian friendly.

That's not really their fault - the entire continent outside perhaps a few small 'dry zones' has a climate utterly hostile to pedestrianism.  Mostly it is too hot and humid, though also occasionally too cold.

It is also impossible to walk anywhere in Thailand because of the heat (100 degrees every day for a week or more now - its 'summertime' here) and humidity.  Few Thai people walk anywhere at all.

The weather does suck here most of the time, but my gym is fully air-conditioned of course. And I can park right in front. I've been going consistently for three months now. Down 8 lbs. And stronger too. There is hope for some of us stuck in affordable places. Please don't judge us all by Bushie. He's a very special guy anywhere.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I had a very nice Easter today.  I went to a wonderful church service this morning and had a great Easter feast with my parents, grandmother, and a family friend.  Ham, potato salad, baked beans, iced tea, and strawberry short cake.  Then, I had a nice Easter nap.  Now, I am finishing up Baseball Tonight on ESPN and about ready to watch Opening Night Baseball between the Texas Rangers vs. Houston Astros.  During the game tonight, I'll be doing some little exercises working out things like triceps, biceps, hammy's, etc.  I am not going to bed until April 2013 arrives in Oklahoma City.  Monday morning, I will get up earlier than normal and go out and walk about 30 minutes in the yard.  The cold front is not supposed to come through until the afternoon, so I'll have some nice conditions to take a walk.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Sounds like a heck of an Easter. I am jealous of everyone who got to celebrate today. I still have over a month to wait for Jesus to rise.

Jeff, do you have a smart phone?

[Joe Biden 2020]

Jeff, do you have a smart phone?

Yes, Android

Yes, Android

Alright - there's an app call Endomndo: http://www.endomondo.com/home ... you can track different kinds of workouts.  It wouldn't be a bad idea for you to start tracking your walks on there so you can know how you're doing.

Thank you.  I am currently in the process of clearing out space on my phone to store this app.  I will definitely be tracking my workouts.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Clearing space? Is your phone chalk full of porn?!

[Joe Biden 2020]

Clearing space? Is your phone chalk full of porn?!

Haha! No, it's full of a lot of Sports and Weather apps.

Weather apps?  Why do you need multiple ones?

Weather apps?  Why do you need multiple ones?

They're mostly Local News Channel Weather Apps.  I've got the Weather Channel, several Salt Lake City and Oklahoma City news stations.  I have the ones for Oklahoma so I can watch severe weather coverage live on my phone even if the Direct TV goes out due to the heavy rain.

So I can watch severe weather coverage from our local affiliates.

[Joe Biden 2020]

So, it is April 2013.  It is the beginning of the 2nd quarter of 2013.  It is also the beginning of my birth month.  4 weeks from right now, I will be celebrating my 31st birthday, the beginning of my 32nd year.

[Mr. Morden]

What's this about the weather being so awful in OK that it justifies only going out for a walk "a couple of times a year"?  Good grief, doesn't anyone there own dogs?  Don't they take them out for a walk year round?  In any case, I can understand the heat and humidity making it miserable in the summer, but how bad can the winter possibly be there?  Can't you just put on a jacket, hat, and gloves if it's cold?  If I could go for walks during the winter when I was living in WI and MN, then surely Bushie can survive it in the OK winter.
