Pants Lie

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

I came to a harsh and startling realization the other day:  my pants have been lying to me.  I know it’s hard to believe, but pants are liars. Big fat liars. I suspect dresses are liars too, but I have no first hand experience with dresses (why? what did you hear?)

Someone should have clued Hammer in,
his pants were lying to him for years…

No long ago when I started my one of my 6 Week Body Transformation programs, I asked all of the participants to take measurements.  For they guys, it was the waist I was interested in, for the women it was waist and hips.  So after one guy didn’t email me with his measurements I asked him during the session.

Not by the Hair of My Chinny Chin Chin

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

About 2 weeks ago I turned 38.

No biggy, it ain’t 40.  And I actually weathered the birthday storm much better than last year.  But as usual I took stock of my life and all things considered I’m a pretty healthy and happy dude.  I have a great family, a roof over my head and a job I absolutely love.  So yeah, I’m cool.

Then today, after letting my scruff go for a few days longer than usual, a certain sparkle caught my eye.  A subtle,  faint glimmer emanating from my chin area.

It was an f’ing grey hair.

My Adorable Kids

Monday, September 14th, 2009

Last night my son Gabe was having some trouble getting to sleep. And as it turns out staying asleep.  Even when I went to bed at 11pm he was still tossing about.

Then around 4:30am I heard some rustling, I actually thought one of my boys was having a nightmare.  No, as it turns out Gabe and his 3 year old brother Nate were having breakfast on the floor of Gabe’s room. And it was of course spilled all over.

As you can imagine I was not pleased.  I warned them both that their new foster parents would not look kindly on such behavior.

The Unstoppable Force and the Immovable Object

Friday, July 31st, 2009

 

I’m sure you have heard the term “paradox”.  The dictionary defines paradox as “a statement or proposition that seems self-contradictory or absurd but in reality expresses a possible truth.”

They are basically clever sayings that screw with your head.  Like can God create a stone that was so heavy even he could not pick it up? Sure he could, oh wait….

One semi- famous paradox is called the Unstoppable Force paradox.   It caught my attention the other day and started my gears turning.  It goes like this:

What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?

Tabata – 4 Minutes of Fat Burning Hell

Tuesday, July 17th, 2007

I had heard of this Tabata thing for a while – mentioned here and there – but I never gave it much thought. Then I tried it.

tabata
The name says it all. Wait, no it doesn’t.

The Tabata Protocol was named after Japanese research er Dr. Izumi Tabata. The workout was developed to increase the performance of Japanese speed skaters. The beauty of the protocol is its simplicity- 20 seconds of all out effort followed by 10 seconds of rest or moderate movement. Repeat that 8 times for a total of 4 minutes. Sounds easy right?
