I've been learning over the past few months that if you start with the bad, the dirty, the awful or whatever else and end with something positive nothing seems that bad in the end.
So, without blah blah blah.
Sports Betting:
I start out sucking which really proves to me that I shouldn't be putting real money on games.
So, some positive with my negative I guess.
Pats vs Cards - 48.5 OVER - Actual 38 points..... 0-1
Vikings vs Colts - 45.5 UNDER - Actual 43 points ... 1-1
Saints -2.5 vs Panthers - Panthers won - 1-2
Cowboys -3 vs Seahakws - Seahawks won - 1-3
49ers -7 vs Lions .... Lions lost by 8.... 1-4
Chargers -6.5 vs Titans.... Chargers Covered ... 2-4
Total 2-4 and would have definitely lost money this week! Score one for being a tight-ass with my money and refusing to sports bet!
Football:
Steelers won and looked very dominant after the 1st quarter.
Ravens Lost and that's always good.
Strat - Scumdogs:
Antonio Brown had 7 receptions.
C.J. Spiller ran wild again averaging over 8 yards per carry in the game and over 10 for the season thus far!
Push-Ups:
I set out a goal of doing 50 today and decided upon doing random sets of 10 throughout the day.
For my morning shift I did 3 sets of 10. In the afternoon I did 2 sets of 10 and felt myself wearing down.
In the evening I did another 2 sets and finished at 70 push-ups for the day!!!
I'm hoping to do 100 next Sunday as my stretch goal. I want to try for one more set for the night but I don't want to push it too hard so I'm ending at 70!
For the rest of this week I'm going to keep doing sets of 10 and then next week I'll up to to 11 or 12 or whatever I feel comfortable with. Either way, I'm getting in some exercise and muscle building as well so this has to be a win-win for the fat man right?

TGIF
While TGIF has been used for millions of years and almost everyone says it come a certain day of the week, I'm just going to pretend that I stole it from Josie today as I watched her grab a $109 token to on BCP.
However, for me TGIF stands for Thank Gawd I'm Funny because 1) Friday's mean nothing to me and 2) I'd never pick up chicks with my looks. :)
Friday was good to me mainly because it was the first day this week where I had a normal pace at work and didn't have more work than I could feasibly accomplish in my 8 hour shift.
Today was also payday and it's nice to know that, temporarily, there is actual money in my bank account. I have one more day of work before my weekend begins and I'm really looking forward to it.
I started playing Tales of the Abyss on my 3ds and while it's fun so far it makes me realize that I really like JRPG's more than I like ARPG's. Something about that turn based system that I really like and while I can have fun with action combat it just feels like the game becomes a button mashing experience (same reason why I've never been into fighters).
I think this is going to be my new hobby for Lunch Hour at work until the game is beat. While I do have a bunch of other books on my Kindle that I could start reading I kind of want to be side tracked a bit.
While reading over comments from my last blog, Waffles pointed out that he has done the same push-up routine that I am currently attempting and gave the advice to take it slowly and go at my own pace because the routine, as laid out online or wherever, accelerates much faster than it probably should.
So, being physically inept I am going to heed that advice and just go at my own pace. Today I repeated Week 1 Day 1 and my last set was 6 non-girl pushups, I feel like that is minor improvement for my 1st week. Monday will be another Week 1 Day 1 and Wednesday will be my first attempt at Day 2.
For those of you who follow Splitter's Blog, his book The Reluctant has once again surged into the top 100 of Amazon.com's rankings. Last I knew it was #68 in Fiction and #4 in Action/Adventure.
I believe this is a direct correlation to his "Blog Tour" that he is doing, getting the word out there to a bunch of people who would not have previously given him a chance.
For those that do read (not just blogs, but books with words, lots and lots of words) I really cannot recommend his books enough. They mix a great deal of action and adventure with well timed and placed humor. And, right now, The Reluctant is on sale for FREE while The Willing is on sale for 99 cents. That's all you can eat for under a buck people.
And finally, whatever I was coming down with appears to be going away. Hopefully the scratch in my throat will be gone by Tomorrow and my weekend will be sick-free. I found out that 5 of 6 of the people who I played poker with on Sunday also had the same issues, so I'm going to blame it on the big group orgy that we had after the game (winner chooses how to celebrate - never let an 80 year old woman win is my suggestion to you all).

Weak
Man, I am weak. Like, couldn't win an arm wrestling match against a twelve year old girl weak.
I've had my office job for a bit over a year now which means that I really haven't had any physical activity to help keep any type of muscle mass. Before coming into the office I worked with Doors and Windows and I also worked with Flooring. Both of those departmetns helped to at least keep me in some type of physical fitness as it involved moving around heavy product on an almost daily basis.
So, being that I'm getting sick and have issues doing cardio when I am sick (with sickness comes shortness of breath which generally is very pleasant for an asthmatic) I decided to at least do a bit of exercise at home. This exercise is coming in the way of push-ups and eventually sit ups. I was not prepared for how weak I have actually become.
Being that my sourse of information is the internet I did a google search and looked up a bunch of web pages and settled on one of them. This site basically tries to train the weak, like me, to slowly increase their strength and until you can eventually do 100 consecutive push-ups. I'll be frank and say right off the bat that doing 100 consecutive anything is not my goal. I just liked the looks of the program so that I could build up my strength and help to get into better shape. Muscles are better than flab I have been told.
So, with my initial test, on Monday, I was able to do 6 push-ups. Very weak and very pathetic.
I didn't fall into the worst category so I'm mildly happy about that, however still not a very big accomplishment.
This week I will be doing the first day of the program on both Wednesday and Friday and then next Monday I will hopefully be able to do the entire 1st week of the program.
So, Wednesday (doing Week 1 Day 1) I did 5 reps; 6, 6, 4, 4 and then 7 (for my - do as many as possible set). However, I was struggling with the last 4 and as such I did the 7 as "girl push-ups" where my knees stayed on the floor instead doing them the real way.
Tomorrow, Friday, I will repeat the 6, 6, 4, 4 and then hopefully be able to do at least 7 max reps from the normal push-up position and then take the weekend off to rest so that I can start Monday fresh and ready.
This is going to be a fun addition to my cardio (once I'm done with whatever bug crawled up my arse) so that I can build up my lungs and some strength. After a few weeks I'll start adding in the sit-up program to help work other muscles that are hidden under years of fat, neglect, abuse and Ice Cream!
As I have been told, it takes 21 days to make or break a habit - Yesterday was day 2 of this so hopefully I can make it to day 21 before giving up completely!
I'm so weak ..... I couldn't bend a credit card without breaking a sweat.
I'm so weak ..... I couldn't bench press the bar with no weights on it.
I'm so weak ......I break quicker than 1 ply toilet paper
I'm so weak ......I got winded just typing this crap up
