Easy Exercising for Lazy People

Less traditional exercising and more slowly introducing more action into your day.

These days no one really wants to wok for anything. They want stuff to 'just happen' with the least amount of work.  An unfortunate conundrum but one that is a real problem in this day and age. But that's not what you want to hear.

To get started lets look at push-ups. This is an easy way to get yourself ready to do real push-ups. Basically your going to be doing knuckle push-ups while leaning onto the wall. Find a open section of wall in a carpeted room when you do this so you won't slip. These are very easy and if you are out of shape you can hurt your self if you do too many at once. This is a great way to get used to doing something active.

Yes these are baby steps.

Walking up stairs instead of taking the elevator. Emphasis on the walk as you don't have to be at a fast pace at all. This lets you stretch your leg mussels out. If you get winded easily doing this then start out going down the stairs while using the elevator to go up.

On this same note if you go for a stroll on your breaks this will also help you out. It's also a great way to catchup on the local gossip if you don't feel like listing to your radio or iPod.





I have a mix on my iPod for running around, driving, driving in traffic, ect.









Another bit of advice would be to have a good sized glass of water in the morning. I find that I wake up really dehydrated and that this actually helped me. Just doing this helps me loose 1lb every 2 weeks. I can't say that it will help everyone, but for me it works.















Last this, if it feels like you have stopped sweating then you need to drink some water ASAP. Dehydration can be very bad if not noticed. I think a lot of weight gain is helped by people either not drinking enough or drinking too much water.

Uhg...

I just found out that someone I thought was a friend and that like to hang out feel otherwise. Abit I should have realized sooner but the fact that they kept hangging out with me threw me off.

But now I know.

On the phone today when I called to see if they still wanted to go to a new restaurant and said I would pay if money was tight for them. I hadn't seen them in a while and I have done this before. They claimed that they didn't know and that we hadn't made plans last weekend. They then made an off hand comment that caught my attention. They said why can't my dad go with me and that it was pretty sad if they were my only friend to do things with. I didn't have and answer for this as I was pretty shocked that they would say that while making plans with me. I asked if they wanted to go and they said not really. I asked why not and they aid they didn't like that kind of food.

Why they didn't tell me this the first time I asked I have no idea. Not liking the food at all is kind of an important thing to let the other person know about in advance. Mostly this is what has me so pissed because I wasted most of a day last weekend waiting for them to wake up and get ready to go out.

The other thing that pissed me off is if I did do something with out mentioning to them they would get pissy because they were not invited. Needless to say I will not be going out of my way to contact them unless I have to. Holy god in glory why could I not have known this back in high school? At least I know it now.

Updates

I'm actually impressed with how many updates i have done this month. It's still a sad number but I still find it amazing. Heck, I even got one of my web comics up and running.

Stroke of Boredom

Which is all kinds of cool. :3 Yes I'm a dork and yes this is my hobby. It's little snips of what I think about and the random ideas I come up with when I have too much time to think.

And... that is all.

Customer Road Rage

Dear sweet, loving customer of mine...

Thank you for being angry at us because of company policies that are out of your/our hands because your company needs to OK additional payments so you can get to the skid of stuff they shipped here. This should not be a shock as it was dropped here three weeks ago and we have been trying to settle this with your company. Again we understand that you need the items for your job but a skid does require additional fees and yes this was explained to your company.

Which brings us to three days later... AKA last night.

Please note that your SUV is larger then my little beetle and so I was already watching you as you turned into our parking lot. I saw you had not stopped but continued towards me and at the last minuet make a U-turn and head back down the street. Thank god I didn't assume you were parking and thus didn't get hit by you. I wish the owner of the company could have seen the dirty look you gave me as you drove by. He was the one crossing the street with our HR guy as you did your crazy driving.

It was also noted in your file in case you do that to other employees in which I will look into reporting you to the police for aggressive/neglectful driving. Cars are not toys. That being said, rest assured that if you do try that again and hit me I will try and sue you.

I am so not payed enough for this.

Atkins Diet pt2

So, when deciding that you are going to try the Atkins Diet plan your meals before you start. Look up recipes and fill your fridge with enough for the week and so that when you go poking around looking for a snake you won't get tempted to grab something carb filled and pre-made.

And... That didn't last long. I had Swiss cheese and ham for lunch and I suddenly felt ill. This was my first warrning flag. My second came later that night after I got home from work. We had bacon, an assortment of cheese and the ham&cheese that I had had for lunch.

I thought about it and every time my stomach would lurch at the thought of eating more meat & cheese. Then the thought of having to do this for the next god knows how long made me almost cry.

So I made some garlic-y death ceaser salad dressing and was happy.

Oh, also? Telling my dad that I only agreed to the Atkins Diet to 'shut my mom up' was not a good idea. In my defense this happened before I finished making my salad.

Now, I understand that this would only have been for a few weeks and such but it just isn't for me. I know it works for my mom and other people though so it is worth a try.

Personally I hate diets. I'm happy with how I look because I know that my lack of exercise if the problem. Which is easy for me to fix when it stops snowing. I also have the tools to work indoors but I get board with this. I'm going to be getting a collapsible bike when I get my taxes back. Mostly because it'll fit in my car and I can ride it after work. Also to bring it to NYC when I visit my sister.

Atkins Diet

I'm going to give it a try Monday. My mom has been nagging me but I also want to try it. Which sucks because I just got some Cinnamon Toast Crunch and other tasty carb filled goodies.

Also, my will power is not so good.

but if it works then I can go down a pant size and be all happy. I hope I don't loose anything in the top department but alas I hear that is the first to go. How ever getting to snack on bacon any time I want and not have to feel guilty? Total win.


Lets see how long I'll stick with this.

Yee Old Diet

Yeah... It's not pretty and it doesn't really work if your not running around like a little kid. I would love to know when I got so shy that I wouldn't even go out side and ride my bike. True my bike is bright neon pink, but still.... If I could ride it al la goth then I should be fine on it now right?

Yeah... next I should sell that bridge in Brooklyn that I have a share in...

I'm not on a diet per say. I watch what I eat but I still enjoy my self. My parents seem to think that they need to intervene on my behalf on almost a daily biases. I'm 28 and they act as if I'm an infant. I am to the point that I might just start swearing a blue streak at them each time they ask to see if they will just stop bothering. I don't think it will work though, I already rant at them for an hour after they nag me.

But the diet...

Two small pieces of bread with peanut butter, a slice of pizza/small sandwich/ cup of soup/sushi for lunch, a small snack, scrambled eggs/steak/something for dinner and then bed. it's defiantly not all that interesting but it seems to be working. my weight actually stayed stable during the holiday food fest so that made me happy.

I just hope that when I do add more activities to my day my hunger won't skyrocket like it usually does. Because that is such a pain. :-(
