So I just found out that one of my friends competes in bodybuilding.  For all of you who ask whether or not I’m serious about getting fit, the answer is.. NO.  THAT FRIEND is serious.  I’m just messing around.

I’ve done the math and I’ve realized getting too big and too lean isn’t sustainable.  Therefore, I’m just going to keep lifting the weights I lift, and try to maintain this size.  I’m pretty happy with where I am right now.  A little more fat loss and a little more muscle gain would be great, but if I stay pat I’m not gonna cry about it.

Most my “serious” friends tell me to just measure my food before meals.  That doesn’t sound like too much fun.  How do I measure chicken joy?  How do you measure the joy!?

Apparently, I need to be consuming upwards of 150g of protein daily.  Unfortunately, my daily intake runs at about 100g.  That’s two extra whey shakes I need to take in.

Some good news though, I’ve figured out a way around my triceps-chest imbalance.  Just need to pre-exhaust the pectorals with dumbbell flyes before I start pressing.  I haven’t decided yet whether I’m going to be lifting tonight or tomorrow.  I guess it all depends on how much I eat for dinner.

If I feel good about what I eat, I’ll take the night off.  Maybe put on some bell tv and see if there’s a game on.

Sounds like a barok iPod.  I think Steve’s pushing the envelope a bit on this one.  Still, Apple stock rose right after he announced it, so he must know what he’s doing on some level.  Been scouring the forums and it seems that people are actually interested in buying the thing.

I’m not one of those people.

I can’t even buy a new Mac because I don’t like how they redesigned the track pad.  It’s a good thing these Macs last a long time, because I think I’m sticking with this one for a long time.

I need to figure out some things with the business.  Suffice it to say that the economy is being difficult and couldn’t leave me well enough alone!  I need ideas!  I want my head to light up like it’s being flooded by Dolan lighting!

I do have a few things up my sleeve, but I’m pretty dubious about the whole thing.  The operation just seems a little too good to be true.  Will have to do more work to cover all my bases.  Of course, it’s nothing big, but hey, money’s money.

5 Step Program

1. Calculate how many grams of protein you need.  Go to bodybuilding.com for the calculators.
2. Calculate your daily calorie requirements.  Eat less than that amount.
3. Figure out how many calories grams of protein are there in your staple foods.  Read the labels, use sparkpeople.
4. Consume the amount of protein you need, avoid all other stuff.  Vegetables are okay.
5. Be Ripped!
6. If this doesn’t work, I will post GF’s diyeta tips!!! SUREBALL!!!

Here’s how *MY* “diet” looks like:

The New Orleans Saints are going to face the Indianapolis Colts in two weeks after beating Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings in OT, 28-31! Up next, Peyton Manning!  Yeah!

Actually, I was rooting for the Vikings being that I’m an Adrian Peterson fan, but hey.  Top two seeds meeting in the Super Bowl.  Can’t complain with a match up like that.

Makes me wish I actually knew how to play football.  I played a little back in grade school but that was more of just tackling people left and right with no purpose.

Been researching on how to lean up for the upcoming Century Tuna Superbods competition (YES, I WILL be joining) and I tell you this thing is complicated.  There are more figures involved than when getting an insurance quote.  I tell you, you need an accountant when you try to figure out just how much protein you’re supposed to eat every few hours, and a chemist to tell you what foods have the macro nutrients you need.

The worst thing?  It’s not sustainable.  You can be lean permanently, but to keep the six pack on?  Impossible.  Live for the moment, eh?

For some reason, people really like Barney Stintson from the series How I Met Your Mother.  I don’t get it.  In real life, the guy is what women would call a jerk, and what guys would call.. well, let’s not go there.  For some reason though, Neil Patrick Harris pulls it all off.  The cigars, the cheap tricks, he makes it all work.

That series should be called Doogie Howser is awesome.  Because he really is.

Anyway, when I get home, I am going to lift weights!  I’ve told my GF often enough today, so now I’ve got to follow through with it.

With the earthquake rocking Haiti, the place is a mess right now.  If you guys have any money to spare, find it in your heart to send it to Haiti.  I hear PayPal is waiving their customary fee for money transfers if you give to a Haiti Earthquake relief operation.

If everybody does their part, it’ll really mean a lot.  Of course, don’t give if you don’t want to.  We don’t want to be communists here.

Business is doing okay.  Could be doing better, could be doing a lot worse.  Considering the economy, could be doing MUCH worse.  I’m not satisfied, though.  The GF insists I’m a hard-worker but I disagree.  I haven’t really sat down and thought through how to make the business better.

In any case, I know that I’ve got to get people who can push the products better.  So if there are people interested in jobs in sales, just let me know.  Maybe we can work something out.

Actually, if I really sat down and streamlined things, a lot of people are going to lose their jobs.
