Crank That

So everyone has probably heard the song "Crank That" from Soulja Boy. Well, anyways I remember being told one of the meanings of the lyrics in the song. Basically, the phrase "Superman that ho". What the hell does it mean? Some time ago, I was told the meaning, but it seemed so ridiculous and unbelievable I discounted it.

Lo and behold, she was right. The meaning can be found here.

Heh, its like this blog became 14A for this post and the last one.

OMG WHY!?

This is probably a blog worth skipping. However, if you are curious...

Think of the worst possible pain/injury that could happen. Now if you're a guy, did it involve your penis? Because I couldn't possibly think of worst anatomic structure to f***ing fracture! If you are brave enough, check out the story...

Update on Target

Regarding Larry on the target weight loss thing, he gets an extra two weeks to finish. So it'd be April 16th . Reason being is he is a bit under the weather and has a bit more weight to lose than me. As for me, the first week has been a big failure. I had actually gained weight thanks to Chinese New Year and deciding that having a Spicy Perogy pizza won't set me back. Time to get on track and schedule a simple routine.

Man, I really hate the treadmill. However, I'm not going to complain about it anymore than that otherwise I'll never want to step on the thing again. Also, our friggin pulse reader doesn't even work. I was going to use it to estimate what speed I should be going. I was going to use the Karvonen (spelling?) formula of 220-age (an alternative apparently is 208-0.7 X age = heart rate max) and start off by going 60-70% of it, depending on comfort level. I figured this formula should work because everytime I've done that heartrate test thing at a pharmacy I always end up somewhere from 55-60 for a resting heart rate, which is about normal. Alas, I have no way of knowing because the treadmill can't keep track. For me, its kind of a big deal because I'm not motivated enough to use a treadmill and use "comfort" as a guide. An electronic heartrate monitor watch starts at about $60 or so. I guess this is time to use that Chinese New Year money...

Also, I need to remake my resume. I resolve to finish that over the weekend. Its probably a good thing that I can't find my current one, as it'll force me to remake one. Just putting this out there so I'll actually go do it. Thats all for now...

The Official Weight Target Post

Starting Feb 2, the official weight target challenge begins. Here are the terms.

The deadline weigh in is on Wednesday, Apr 2, 2008. Larry and I are entering an agreement to lose 10% of our current weight by then. If we both succeed, we pay for our respective share of our season tickets. If one of us fails, he pays for the other's season tickets. If we both fail, we will donate the tickets to friends/charities. According to my kitchen scale, I am 190 lbs. So, I must lose 19 pounds.

I have approximately 8.7 weeks to do this. If I can shed 2.5 pounds per week for 8 weeks I can reach this goal....

The plan? Increase activity and decrease junk food consumption. No fried stuff, no chips, no pop, and definitely no needless late night snacking. I think that in itself will be huge. Increase in use of home gym, primarily the treadmill (shudder). I should probably draft up something more specific but I have a rough outline in my head. I'll aim to run for at least 20 min and hit the bag for a few rounds.

Anyways, if you want a shot at the Esk tickets, give a comment and help keep me accountable.
