"You can run and tell dat, run and tell dat... home, home, home boy!"

Holy hell everybody needs to see this! First watch the news clip and then the parody video.



Enter the music video...

"Coming through... Denny Crane... Coming through please"

Today's weight is 361.5 pounds. For the week, I have actually gained just under one tenth of a pound, but I am not worried one bit.

So I've been picking up extra shifts at FedEx so this Saturday I went in to help load trucks. I was working with this lady, who I'll admit was a little worse for wear, and we were sorting freight and loading it into baggage carts. She was having trouble remembering which cart was for which city so I explained to her how I was remembering. "It's really pretty easy. Just think A, B, C, and D. The first airport code has an A in it, the second code has a B in it, the third cart has a C in it, and the forth a D. Everything else goes in this cart over here."

"Nope! Not going to work. I'm not a young one like you. I'll never remember that. Besides I've got the "mad cow.""

"Haha! That's funny, like Denny Crane right?"

"Who?"

"You know, Denny Crane, from Boston Legal."

"That doesn't surprise me your friend from Boston has it too. People have been exposed to it for years and the government doesn't want to do anything about it because it makes us easier to control!"

I guess the world take all kinds...

What do pilots drive home?

365 pounds. I'm clearly not losing any weight, but my job and my MMA cardio workout is becoming easier and making me less sore so I'd call it progress of a different sort.

On a side note (side bar), If I were a pilot, I'd own a Honda Pilot so that the back windshield would read, "Airline pilot's Pilot."

This MMA (mixed martial arts) style workout I found in the June, 2010 issue of Muscle & Fitness magazine is incredible! It's pretty hardcore though so I've adapted it slightly and I have recently added a weight lifting component. With the whole program in place I didn't anticipate gaining 7 or 8 pounds! It still baffles me when I notice my body getting smaller and more cut while my weight is moving in the opposite direction...

I have been getting overheated and nauseous at work so I've been making a point to be more mindful of my electrolytes. On the days that I'm working out and later going to work I have been drinking 2 20-oz Powerades. Most of the time I drink the Powerade zero so that I don't blow my wad calorie-wise, but when I can afford it I'll go with the high octane (200 calorie) Powerade fruit punch. I prefer Powerade over Gatorade because Powerade has a zero calorie option instead of Gatorade's G2 and I think the full calorie Powerade just taste better.. Then again, that is what works for me. Every body and every program is different.

The reason I'm even bringing this up is because all of those beneficial salts in sports drinks, just like naproxen sodium (Alieve) that I have mentioned earlier, when taken in consistent doses will lead to water retention. Don't worry though, as long as you are drinking enough plain old H2O your body will find a healthy balance and you'll find yourself in pretty good shape. Don't be surprised though if your body finds that balance by waking you up 6 or 7 times in the middle of the night for some marathon pee sessions, but I drink a gallon of water a day!
