It seems someone is making a movie about my wordpress blog name. Or something like that.
I’m starting to get search engine hits from people searching for the Run Fat Boy, Run movie. I’m not even sure I really want to see this flick, but it has my name in it, so I may.
If you’re wondering, I’m not planning on running any marathons anytime soon.
And yes, it seems I had this name first. Although, it seems even older than me is a pay for exercise plan at runfatboy.net I can’t speak for how their program works, but it looks sort of neat.
Hope they don’t mind terribly that I seem to come up with the same domain as them. Ah well, I’ll be nice. It’s not like I’m trying to pass myself off as them – I’m just a dude going to the gym. They’re more like – here’s how to get fit! Give us money and motivation and we’ll give you lean sculpted bod! I wish I had motivation. Then I could give them shiny gold rocks and get some muscles in return.
Hmm..wonder what’s at runfatboyrun.com Just went and looked – it’s being held by some sort of spyware scammy site. Sucky, I could have bought it and redirected it here.
Just thoughts for tonight, after I totally broke down and had a ice-cream and peanut butter bar. After pizza and wings. Cause today was a good food day….not. (I haven’t heard not used like that since about 1992. It should stay that way.)

A quote I remember from growing up:
Starla:
Hey Mr. – wanna pickle for a nickle?
‘How bout two cents?
I think it was from show with kids and eating pickles, but I can’t be sure. ;)
Last night’s workout. January 18, 2008

Wasn’t at the gym.
It was in my driveway, shoveling snow. We’ve just recently got a dump of snow about 4 inches, and I hadn’t shovelled the previous few times, so we’ve got some good buildup on the driveway.
The snowbanks are now over 3, someplaces 5, feet on my driveway. My driveway is probably about 375 sq. feet or so. It’s not huge, but it’s a good 30-40 minutes of shovelling on a good day. Yesterday wasn’t so.
First of all, I had to shovel the paths as well, to the door, barbecue (yes, it gets used in winter…) and blaze a trail to the shed. The shed has the crib and stuff in it, and we’ll need to unpack some of that this weekend as we’re setting up the nursery.
Then, I had to clean the drive entrance. When it snows and I shovel, I usually have to do this area twice, so sometimes it gets forgotten the second time. What happens is that the city comes by and plows the road into the sidewalk, creating a berm. I have to shovel that out when I do the driveway, otherwise cars can’t get into my driveway – our pilot can, but it’s an SUV.
Then, the city comes by two days later with the bobcat plowing the sidewalk. This creates a second berm – the one that sometimes doesn’t get shovelled.
Long story short, as of yesterday there was an 8 inch step up onto my driveway, so I had to get out some tools (that weren’t meant for the job, or nice to my back) and chip away at it to create a slope that a car can traverse.
An hour later, and with my heartrate a lot higher than when it started, a car can get into my driveway.
I didn’t quite even make it to they Rec Center to use the steam sauna, though it would have been nice. But I did get a solid cardio workout, even if it was outside rather than in. Sort of better in a way.
That was my workout. What did you do yesterday to be physically active? No, for real – not snarky at all. Feel free to post in the comments about what you did yesterday, or even this week, to stay active.

Added a friend’s blog to my blogroll, should appear on the sidebar now. Starla has been a friend of mine for many years, and is a very active mother of 3. She’s working now to stay in shape, and along the way providing some motivation for me.
Keep on swimming… January 15, 2008

Gym last night was good, except I didn’t go. I decided to do my cardio in the water instead and did 6 laps. that only works out to three lengths, and I’m sore today.
Also hit the new steam sauna we have for about 40 minutes – heavenly. I have yet another reason to get my but to the gym, just to sit in that awesome steam sauna.
Sam mentioned that she’d read that cardio swimming isn’t as efficient as running etc, because either your temperature doesn’t rise or because you don’t sweat. I’d heard it was good cardio, because your whole body was involved and your heartrate tended to stay higher – anyone reading this have any input on this?
My diet yesterday was bad. No breaky, chinese for lunch (lots of veggies, but lots of crap too) and salad (good) with caeser dressing (bad) and wings (bad). Also a bowl of ice cream (bad) and berries (good). Didn’t drink enough water, but did manage a few glasses.

from the holidays.
+12lbs.
That makes a total of 196. It’s a good thing the gym is open again after their annual maintenance. I also got some good exercise stuff as Christmas gifts, so I’ll be putting those towards shedding the excess.
Time to get to work.
