Time to get in shape,etc.

My Fat Ass

With my new job and the winding down of the major home improvement projects I've decided to try to get back in shape. I realized that I've been ignoring my body for too long and it's going to bite back, since going from my moderately physical job at the Hospital to a totally sedentary job in front of a computer I've gained about 35 pounds.

I'd love to be able to fight in armor again and I really need to be in better shape for that, so to that end I have started dieting, began Oct. 18th and began exercising yesterday. Mostly I'm doing Cardio for now, one hour five days a week. My current plan is to get down to 220 by December 10th, that's seven weeks to lose 25 pounds. My eventual goal is to get to 205 by the summer, say June.

I also want to get back in to resistance training, for a while I was lifting weights five days a week, I never got huge, but I did get strong and had noticeable muscle growth in my shoulders, arms and legs. Once the main weight is off I plan on devoting at least 40 minutes a session to weight training.

Today's weight 245.

If you see me driving in to a Taco Bell feel free to rear end me.

Fun with Floor Polish

Thanks to the Skyngangor for sending me this link to a great page showing all the things modelers and miniature painters can do with Future acrylic floor polish.

The Complete Future

The rest of the site is also full of useful tips.

This stuff is really good, I've used it for adding a wash to miniature buildings with impressive results.
