2011-12-29, Weekly Stats — Week 2 (again)
First things first… No, you’re not hallucinating, I’m doing “week 2” twice. Yes, you heard me right. LOL
I realized that my progress photos were one week off from my weekly stats. That’s because a full week went by after I had renewed my fitness efforts before I took my first set of progress photos. So, I’m haveing two “week twos” to keep the week numbers in sync. No matter how you count it, my stats were basically flat, slow downward trend by very small decrease since I started. So enjoy my Week TWO Stats! 🙂 Confused yet?
On to the recap: I don’t know why I’m surprised, especially since I have been doing this huge “song and dance” production number about this here on my blog… BUT getting moving on the journey toward fitness takes time and effort!
The main thing that went on this week was:

Where is the ‘Me” in Health? — After all, it is all about ‘Moi’!
Let Others Define “Health” For You?
In my last post “What is Health?” I showed you, my dear readers, all four of you who are reading this, how to search the web to find out how other people define “health.” Many of those definitions are reliable and offered by experts in their fields. You could, of course chose your definition of “health and fitness” from among them.
Or, one could, I suppose, rely upon the reactions of others around you to let you know that you’re fit and healthy. Hmmmm… I can envision it now, months from now having finished my journey and living a lifestyle of health, I strut, *ahem*, stride down the streets of Oaklawn……
[ Cue the music for the fantasy sequence … ]
Being Fit and Healthy means having pecs of death. It means having biceps and triceps of steel that send shivers of desire up the spine of every red-blooded gay man who sees me. It means having a set of abs that will stop traffic. Gay men will look at me and drool. Straight men will look at me and feel insecure. Straight women will weep because they can only look but not touch. Butch biker lesbians will nod their heads in approval. Being fit and healthy means I will have a body like the guy in the photo to the left.
When people me see me they will…
. . . kinda grunt like they’ve just been punched and softly say “Mer-say!” while fanning their face with their palm.
Folks will…
. . . turn to their friends and whisper “There ought to be laws,” accompanied by a slight shake of the head and followed by a soft sigh of longing while craning their neck for another glimpse of my perfect physique…
And, some, sadly, will be envious of my success; those poor souls who have been starving themselves silly and have been sweating their ass off in a gym for weeks will glare and mumble…
. . . “Let’s tie the bitch down and stuff Twinkies down her throat! She’s obviously had work done.”

What is “Health”?
Health = Your body and mind operating smoothly.
There, we’re done. Hope you enjoyed the post.
What? Do I hear grumbling from the masses? Do I hear the stirrings of an “Occupy the Blog-o-sphere Movement?
Ok, ok, since you insist, I’ll elaborate; you guys should know by now that it doesn’t take much to get me to expand on any topic. LOL @ myself. 🙂
Let’s “Google” it!
So, what does “health” mean? I did a Google search for health and got this:
Over a billion hits. That is “Billion” with a “B!” — Aha! A chance to use my Librarian skills! Woo Hoo!
Take note: When doing a keyword search, adding more words in the search box, or the addition of suffixes, means fewer hits. So, let’s add a “y” and do a search for healthy:

The Importance of Making Your Bed
One corner of my room…the neat side. The other side would scare you! 🙂
One of the continuing themes that has developed in this blog is that switching from an “unhealthy” lifestyle to a “healthy” lifestyle is very very hard!
And what does “making your bed” have to do with “getting healthy?” Well to most people there may not be a connection, but for me there is.
Keep reading; all will be revealed.
Prepare yourselves, dear readers, all 7 of you who are reading this blog, because once again, we are about to enter the weird and wonderful world of “Tony’s Brain”….
cue the music please, hang onto the guide rope and if you get lost, well, the monster in the subconscious has to be fed somehow doesn’t he? heh heh heh…

2011-12-22, Weekly Stats — Week 2
This week I had a lot of drama involving my truck which absorbed all my energy. The good news is:
- I have a brand new truck! And I’m loving every bit the “newness” of it!!!!
- I don’t have to worry about breakdowns any more for 100,000 miles (bought an extended mechanical warranty) which means less stress and improved health.
- I don’t have to worry about new tires for the next 3 years (bought a tire warranty) which means less stress and improved health.
- I lost 1 pound from this week (Jenny Craig Weigh-in)
- Lost .51 % Body Fat
- Lost inches.
