I've been trying to make a new diet work for several weeks now. Its ~1800 calories a day, and very regimented. However, I'd been fucking off pretty bad on the weekends. The diet was good enough that I had gained weight though! And that was being totally out of the gym trying to get my explorer running again. So as of last week I'm back in the gym, AND sticking to this diet 7 days a week instead of 5. Last Monday I weighed myself at 231 and FREAKED THE FUCK OUT! I then went back in on Tuesday, tried several different scales, and read 225 which makes a lot more sense. As of yesterday 8/11/10 I am 223. Considering the all day beer binge that took place on the river this past weekend (oops!) losing 2 lbs shows that this diet flat out fucking WORKS. Here's hoping I can actually stick to it. In all honesty, its not that bad. Everything is pretty edible except my lunches of relatively flavorless chicken breast and raw spinach. As an added bonus my friend and I have a wager: first person to see their abs gets a pit bitch for 5 trackdays. Considering I'm at ~30% BF and he's at ~ 18%..............I've got my work cut out for me!

Youtube channel was launched, but meh

I've posted several videos now as I've been able, and sadly still the one with the most views is a very short clip I did before truly "launching" the channel.  It's obvious to me now that computer related videos do WAY better than any other content, and especially short ones that demonstrate how to do a specific thing.  I'll keep doing all the videos I think of as, if anything, the practice for filming and editing which should make the videos that actually do well of a better quality. As to other things going on in life: I've finally SBR'ed my 4th and final registered lower.  I went with a 12.5" 5.56 wylde barrel from criterion.  Criterion claims their chrome lining process is more consistent than everyone elses so they are more accurate, but since I currently (and probably always) will have a red dot on it...I'm not sure I'll ever know for sure.  The real reason I went with criterion is that they seemed to be one of the only manufacture...

7 Mostly worthless comments about sucking at crossfit as a beginner

I've been doing crossfit for about a month and a half at the suggestion of my girlfriend.  I was pretty bored with my normal gym routine, was pretty stagnant so I should..sure, babe, I'll humor you and try this for 6 months.  Below are some of the points worth mentioning. 1. It might be better training for what you're really trying to do I'll get this one out of the way first because it probably applies to the fewest people that would read this.  My "primary" hobby is sportbike racing.  I'm pretty awful at it for one major reason: take me and any other racer, give us the exact same amount of practice time, and because I can't stay on the bike long enough...he'll get 2x the amount of practice and be faster in short order.  For YEARS I kept trying to build leg strength by doing high weight squats and deadlifts.  It didn't work, I STILL can't survive a 6 lap race at 100% of my best pace. Then I tried crossfit.  Turns out: moving somew...
