A Spring Time Roast

I went to a celebrity-style roast last friday, where comedian Cole Osborne was burned huge. Cole and his girlfriend Julie Dumais were leaving the city for a few months to go work on a cruise ship. So naturally, all of his friends wanted to spend the last night just slinging huge burns at him.

All the comics on the stage were pros. They could all take it as well as they could give it, and man could they give it. As absolutely hilarious as it was, it also made me cringe through 80% of it. I couldn’t get really comfortable for the whole show. Read the rest of this entry »

Road to Fitness – First Stop

14 Mar

West End YMCA

I’m really glad I came up with this idea of visiting a bunch of gyms, and take advantage of their free one week trial to help myself get back into shape. My fist stop was The West End YMCA. If you have never been, you should go. They are currently offering a free 2 week trial, which is the best!

I think I may have screwed up by going to this gym first, it was so much fun that I feel like I am not going to enjoy the next ones as much. They have great facilities here, you can really make a day of it. Some of the things they have to offer are a pool, weight room, lots of cardio machines (there are some with TVs, and if you go at the right time, you can climb hills and watch Cosby!) Yoga, Fitness classes, steam room, sauna, jacuzzi, a change room full of naked men, Cyclefit, snack bar and so on. It’s completely pimped out.

Time to get Fit!

26 Feb

This guy loves to train. Serious.

This is it! This is the year I finally get serious about being healthy, lose some weight, and get fit. I have the worst time trying to get motivated to exercise consistently. So I figured if I publicly announced it here on my blog, that I would feel obligated to commit. Basically, I’m my own little science experiment. I’ll be updating my stats weekly.

I’ve given myself a challenge, I have signed up for what looks like to be a super fun/tough marathon on July 9th, 2011. I figure that with the shape I’m in today, I can get through that course. I may not look it, but I have pretty good cardio. I’m basically built like a donkey, my body just loves to work, and this wouldn’t be the first crazy marathon I have been a part of. But I don’t want to just get through it, I want to destroy it. I want to run through that thing with a big smile on my face, and just feel like a grown up kid. I’m also going back to Portugal in August, and the idea of not being embarrassed to be shirtless at the beach sounds fantastic!

Ok, so now for the facts. Read the rest of this entry »
