I feel like quitting this darn program. The Drop be damned. I feel like a fake. I feel like a fraud. My weight is going nowhere. I am fit. I have all but cut out sugar pop. I love my movie runs. My weight is staying the same.

On my run today I watched In the Bedroom. It was what I call a 4 star drama with a both serious and cute Marisa Tomei. The movie was perfect for another successful movie run.

However, if you peak at my stats I have had no change in a while…even after getting sick. I am straight frustrated and my pants are not getting any looser. Think of a blow fish getting bigger while getting madder at the same time.

In addition to adding a crunch routine, I am going to do something I always said I would do. You see, I love fish (and I love to fish). But I just don’t know how to cook fish properly. I am going to go to the store and talk to the person behind the fish counter to get some fish cooking tips. I am going to research some simple fish recipes online. I am going to be a great cooker of fish!

We can discuss the benefits of fish in a diet later. For now I am asking for some simple recipes to cook fish properly. I plan to start cooking in the oven because it will provide the best temperature control. I am also going to buy all the fish spices necessary. I will buy any type of fish at any cost. Go ahead and leave me a fish recipe Mr. or Mrs. Fish Eater…I sure need it!

Run Sicko Run

I was feeling pretty sick which is rare because I have the best immune system I have ever seen. I just don’t get sick that often. Anyways, it was nice to sweat a little and it made me feel better. My weight must be really firm because even though I was sick and ate like a bird, I still maintained 222. As an effort to reduce my waist line (if I am not going to lose weight), I am going to start doing some crunches and bicycle exercises to supplement my running. Nothing big…I just want to work a little from the inside out.

I had the sweetest set up for my run tonight. I had my Netflix account ready, my big screen projector and a pretty cool documentary called King of Kong. It was about video games…old school video games to be exact. To be even more exact it was about the World Champion of Donkey Kong Steve Weibe.

One cool thing to note when streaming my Netflix from my laptop to a projector. Naturally, the sound on my cheap laptop is not strong enough for movie quality listening. I solved this by running a speaker wire form my laptop headphone jack right into the receiving / female speaker jack on my treadi. I just used an old wire from some computer speakers. It actually worked great and promoted a long and enjoyable run was movie long!

I play soccer tomorrow outside. I have not decided if I will try to get a run on top of that.
