"What does Marcellus Wallace look like?!" -- Jules "B.M.F." Winfield

If Marcellus Wallace is an out of shape, 30+ year old, 5'9", no neck having, flip, then that would be me. So sticking with the greatest movie of all time, "I had what alcoholics refer to as a moment of clarity" last night. The Maniac was getting food while I was parked in the car facing her and these two scrubs come in to the mexican joint and start hitting on her. Immediately, my adrenaline shoots through my bloodstream, and I start to do what I've always done in situations like these and go through the process of taking off my watch, putting my wallet in a safe place. Its like I'm doing all this subconsciously while measuring up these 2 guys; who I'm gonna hit first and how; what weapons are readily available; close quarter; what areas will I strike first; how much damage to an area will I do first, etc. But then I pull back to see how Maniac is doing and she's handling it and not even sweating these dudes. I start to tell myself once I see that these fuck sticks disrespect her then I get to "workout". But it never happens. Maniac gets the food and we leave.

It takes a good 10 mins for the adrenaline to wear off before I can internally calm down. But as I asked myself, "What the hell man? You have a hot ass lady and scrubs are gonna try, especially if I'm not around," I came to this moment of clarity, "I am just too high strung. I need to channel this aggression into something more positive." And so, over the course of last night I put a plan together with objectives and steps. Here it is in its documented form: 2008

Objectives:


  1. Walk around weight of 190 – 199 lbs
  2. Run a mile under 7 mins
  3. Benchpress 225 lbs 30 times
  4. Earn my Purple Belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu by July 2009

The Plan:

  1. Every morning when I wake up and before I go to sleep (20 pushups, 20 V-sit-ups, 20 air squats)
  2. Every day a meal at least every 3 hours (Breakfast -9am; shake - noon; lunch - 3pm; Dinner - 6pm; shake - 9pm)
  3. Every Monday & Wednesday (Striking: Bag work - Thai Drills w/ weight Vest set at 20 lbs - 45 mins + 5 mins of rope work; Cardio: 20 mins - rotate between Stairs, Treadmill, Elliptical, & Bike)
  4. Every Tuesday & Thursday (Cycling at least 7 miles each day, pulling at least 30 lbs)
    Weight lift every Tuesday & Thursday (Strength training - Circuit Training)
  5. Record for each meal (Total Calories, grams of Protein, grams of carbs)
  6. Keep caloric intake to 1600 cals
Rules:


  1. No alcohol
  2. No soda
  3. No Fried Foods
  4. No meals or snacks between 9pm - 8am daily!
  5. Every day/workout missed will be made up the next day in addition to the already scheduled workout

This is the start of a new day!

Today's food so far....

Sounds like the New Year's resolution of many. Probably would help motivate you if I told you that you couldn't do it. California Burritos > NoNeck. Just don't punch me in the face if I show up to your house with buffalo wings and some fries. Any cheat/mental health meals in your plans? In all honesty, I'd allow yourself Thanksgiving Day as a day off. You'll be sorry the following day if you don't grub that night. What happened to Atkin's, but with carbs diet?

Sounds pretty ambitious, but of course you'll succeed and, alas, you'll remain the hotter of the two of us in the relationship. Ugh, you're killing me.
