Still no Lent challenge

I still don’t have any specific challenge.   I have attempted to challenge one of the Wonder Twins to quit smoking and I would quit something I like to do.   So far they haven’t agreed.   They are really trying to wuss out.   What are you giving up for LENT?

What should I give up for LENT?

Before you get disgusting or something, I am thinking something food related.   Last year, I think I gave up chocolate.   I could try that again.   I could also try giving up:

1. Pork

2. Potatoes

3. Pizza

4. Pop

Funny how all my ideas other than chocolate… they all start with “P”s.    One problem I have with this list is that I still have chocolate, potatoes, pop and pork in my house.   It maybe tough to give up that stuff when you still have some of it taking up space in your kitchen.   So do you have a different suggestion or do you think these options are good ones?

Broke a lot of “rules” this weekend

When I started this diet contest, I created a lot of rules for myself.   I broke a lot of them this weekend.   I ate after 9pm.   I over ate and I broke the cardinal rule, I had fast food.    Now mind you what I had, I always knew I was going to do it, it was just a matter of time.    I stopped at Mary Brown’s and had taters.   It was just a matter of time for them.    While I may have gained a little bit of weight, I am still doing great from a contest standpoint.

Failure

I failed in my “challenge” for last week.   I still believe I could have done it but I just didn’t get the time.   Actually technically I had the time yesterday but the problem was that I didn’t do enough of them during the week and so in an effort to catch-up, I did something like 70-100 on saturday.   So yesterday, my shoulders and arms were killing me.    I had the time but I wasn’t sure it would be in my body’s best interests to try and do a lot of them again.    I owe WIGSF a dinner or something now.

I hate ticketmaster

It seems like whenever I try to buy tickets from them some problem comes up.   Today I tried buying tickets to a concert at 9:59 am, the tickets go on sale at 10am.   I refresh and then the page comes up and I try buying the tickets.   Except the drop-down menus don’t work.   The site makes it seem like the tickets are sold out but I know they weren’t because when I went to sunrise 10 minutes later, they said there were some 5 minutes before that.    I also hate all the scalpers who try selling tickets for 4 times the cost.    Just looking at their prices makes me NOT want to buy from them.   It just seems wrong.

Blind Ultimate Fighting

My boss was talking about Ultimate Fighting at work today.   We came up with the idea of blind ultimate fighting.   We think it could be a very funny sport.   The only problem is that having a live crowd watching would hurt the sport since they need to use their ears.

New fitness challenge

I survived my vacation without gaining any weight although last night’s trip to the Keg and Dairy Queen might have been a step in the wrong direction.  

Last night I also got a new fitness challenge.   WIGSF made a comment about me and push-ups.   In an effort to prove him wrong I am going to do 250 push-ups in the next week.
