2 miles of smiles

I have been logging my workouts for two days. I am not gym bound this evening because I am working the three day split this week. My upper body is very soar. I hit the gym last night and today I hit a track in Long Island for a 2 mile walk. The last half a mile I did shirtless. Not because my body is awesome, but because I like the way the breeze feels and I also need a base tan. I have stayed covered up for years and I feel a little more secure with myself. There were other dudes jogging with no shirt and I wanted to be one of those dudes.

Veggie Burgers are working! Less calories but satisfying. I'm sending out email's on career advice and I am confident I will have a plan by year's end.

Tonight I am going to dinner with my mother and my aunt. That's a part of my better son business. Tomorrow I am taking Michelle to Yonkers Casino. That is part of my better significant other business. Yesterday I took a few hours to pick up Michael from school and take him to the sprinkler park. Happy child means happy daddy.

Food wise my protein is finally coming up. My workouts are great. I look forward to unceasing in strength over time to get back to my 275 bench press.

Overall I am doing better these days.

Walking thoughts

I went for a walk today at Victory field. I walked around the track 8 times, which totals 2 miles.

Before I get into my deep thoughts, I want to declare today a great start. I woke up at 8:45 and left the house at 9:22. That is a record breaking pace for me, well the summer time me. During the school year I get much more done in that same amount of time. I had some water and then a scoop of protein mixed in to iced coffee. I will go to the gym later today and I have a great feeling that I will be going for another walk later.

I enjoyed being out and seeing people. There were families and couples and people playing soccer. So many different people with the common purpose of getting out and moving around. Something that you can't do in the winter, or should I say not willing to do. With all of the things that we believe divide us, there are such simple and pure things that we have in common, so they should unite us. I don't know if it's an American thing or this is a global problem, but in a search for a personal identity we often look for ways to justify how we are better than others or how bad the other side is for being different.

The need to evolve jumped into my head. Relationships and communication needs to evolve. I think that is what we were supposed to do as adults, but as I told my cousin Samantha, it doesn't get more sophisticated as you get older.

My personal evolution has to do with my ability to serve, but this might be the blueprint for everybody. I need to serve my family better. I can always improve as a father, significant other and a son. I am 30 years old and I still want to be a better son. I also need to serve myself better. Better food, better rest, better free time activities and better faith.

I was also thinking about change and how difficult that is. I usually keep my keys in my right pocket and my wallet in my left. I was leaving the park and reached for my keys and they weren't there. I panicked for a second. They were in my left pocket. Something so simple can rock your world, imagine any other obstacle.

I also have to evolve with my teenage obsession with women. Especially in the boobies and butts department. Maybe I'm just addicted to round objects but I don't stare at balloons like a tiger on it's prey. I saw a girl with a blonde ponytail jog past me. I love watching a ponytail in motion, it's hypnotic. The romantic in me is always hypnotized by women. They are intoxicating to say the least.

It's breakfast time and my egg substitute and veggie sausage is getting cold.

Just being fat

I have been doing horrible for about 6 weeks. The name of my blog is just don't be fat, and I have been practicing being a fat bastard for a while.

I have the summer off and haven't had a plan to be productive. I have been lonely, and waiting for company from my friends and family is a real losers bet. This is a blessing in disguise. I can be productive with no interruptions.

Today I actually ate well, or I should say better than usual. I bought Boca burgers and am fully equipped to eat well this week and I pumped iron today and logged my workout.

I did win my political position. I look forward to diving in that in September.

As I did my first repetition today I said to myself attempt 500. I have failed 499 (just a guess) times at getting fit but I haven't quit. Isolation is good for progress. Wish me luck.
