Fatblogging? How about Lean & In Shape Blogging
Folks around the blogosphere have taken Jason Calacanis’ lead and have started posting about their struggle to lose weight. The movement is call fatblogging.
I want to get involved since I need to lose some weight and get in shape but I like to focus on the goal or final outcome. So instead of calling it “Fatblogging” I am going to call it “Lean & In Shape Blogging.” Sorry Jason. I’ll follow the same rules as you set forth for fatblogging.
My goal is to get in shape. What does that entail? I’m not really sure. I know I need to lose weight and build strength. Since I am still in the National Guard, I’m shooting towards the military standard (without getting taped) which is 205 for my height. That means I have to lose about 30 pounds. Yeah its that bad…
I also want to increase my APFT score, which is probably horrible and not even high enough to pass the APFT right now. Basically that involves Pushups, Situps, and a 2 mile run. Since I am going to be focusing on overall strength my gains with pushups and situps will be slower then if I just focused solely on them.
In order to help me stay focused I will be posting updates here, I’m shooting for every night, on my blog under the category “Lean & In Shape.” Each post will include my current weight, what workout I did that day, and may include my diet activities also. I’m still putting together my “plan” but I will post that soon.
Cool Math
I just saw this in my email, thought it was pretty cool.
UNBELIEVABLE MATH PROBLEM
Here is a math trick so unbelievable that it will stump you. Grab a calculator. (you won’t be able to do this one in your Head)
1. Key in the first three digits of your phone number (NOT the Area code)
2. Multiply by 80
3. Add 1
4. Multiply by 250
5. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number
6. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number again.
7. Subtract 250
8. Divide number by 2Do you recognize the answer ??
I wish I was smart enough to figure out why things like that work…
