Ahhh here we are, the weekend. Its going to be a busy one. Taking in a play and then Superbowl Sunday where my Packers will no doubt find victory.
Also, today is the day I get my gym membership. I am considering the facility at what was once Keiser University. Its where I first taught graphic design and fed hungry minds (and a few who were beyond emaciated if ya catch my drift). Well, they went and tore it all down and paved it over. A fitting end I must say. Then they invested several millions to create a city center that no one seems to have more than a passing interest about. A debacle to say the least. It was supposed to house a theater and some restaurants but so far all I've seen is a farmers market and some arts and crafts. But there is a pretty decent gym there with raquet ball, basketball and a fooseball table. Money well spent for sure. But I'll take advantage of the fact that this 3 million dollar tax payer funded city center is such a well kept secret.
Believe me when I say that I'm done with the gyms where they've become what I call "good 'ol boys clubs". There's testosterone and posturing aplenty, and how these guys get these bodies is beyond me. What do they do, work out at home then come here to show it all off? Because I see little actual working out taking place.
A visit to my local GNC is also on today's roster. I plan to load up on all sorts of things from fish oil to protein powder and maybe a little papaya seed in case of emergency (I'm told by reliable sources that this is the miracle hangover cure). Not that I plan to misbehave, but hey- there is a big game tomorrow.
But first, I think I'll set the tone for the weekends activities by taking the dane for a once around the block to get our blood pumping. Stay tuned.....
Fratello! Start slow on the running - but increase your distance to at least 3 miles a run over time. Run every other day. Do some upper body or core exercises on the non-running days. Eat simple and easily digestable proteins like chicken, and complex carbohydrates like black beans and brown rice, and lots of fresh vegetables. I eat a ton of fresh salsa most days. Don't forget to eat fats - eat about 25% fat by calorie intake - you need it for your nerve synapses - but be smart - use olive oil whenever you can - no heavy cream - avocados are another good source of fat. People in Italy routinely live to be in their 80's and 90's pouring olive oil on everything they eat - but they eat lots of vegetables - and meat only in moderation.
