A Couple Announcements....

Hello Ladies and Gents!

Suffice it to say, I've been gone from the blogosphere for awhile now...about 45 days, actually. It's also been over a month since I've uploaded anything on YouTube.

Yeah...I'm a slacker.

I'm back though, and while I would love to stay awhile and chat, I've only got enough time to make a couple announcements.

First of all, while I've been a little lax in my blogging and videography efforts, I haven't fallen off the proverbial wagon. Indeed, eating has been (as it has always been) a challenge for me. It seems the more active I am, the more I crave sustinance. Unfortunately though, the sustinance I usually indulge with is that of the junk food variety, be it cookies, cake, chips, or ice cream. In fact, I've got 1.5 quarts of Egg Nog flavored ice cream sitting in my freezer as we speak, and a bag of Hot Cocoa Creme flavored Hershey's Kisses sitting on the counter. For the most part however, I am pleased to say that my eating isn't all that bad. I'm eating 5 meals per day, less if I choose the not so healthy foods. My body water has been decreased exponentially, so I've had to start drinking water on a more frequent basis. I know that water consumption should be second nature for an ugly bag of water such as myself, but for whatever reason I find it unappealing. Whenever I feel the need to intake fluids, I always go for alternatives like coffee, Gatorade, vitamin waters, or bottled teas. Despite what they may say about water being water, I truly don't believe that there is any adequate substitute for the real thing.

Drink water, people!

On the exercise front, I am most certainly pumping out quite a bit of sweat each day. As though my job wasn't laborious enough, I'm taking on more traditional exercises nearly every day. My treadmill is receiving quite the pounding (my knees share its pain), and in addition to my weekly hikes, I'm also performing select exercises in the P90X program.

What's that? Select exercises? Yes, I have been performing the P90X series of workouts selectively. While I do feel as though I'm gaining ground as far as strength and flexibility are concerned, I don't feel as though I'm actually doing the program itself. Since P90X is based on a strict period of time focusing on a strict selection of targeted workouts, if I don't follow the routine as I'm supposed to, it's as though I'm not following any program at all. To that effect, while I will continue to workout through the remainder of the year, I am restarting P90X on the 1st of Januray with a buddy of mine...and I have no doubt that the two of us will be more commited than ever before.

Now, onto the second matter at hand....

I will be doing only one more YouTube video for the duration of 2008. On Tuesday, December 23, I will be uploading a video of the Christmas variety. The title will be this: "'Twas the Night Before Christmas -- Do not open 'til Christmas Eve!" If you wouldn't mind, I would highly appreciate it if all y'all visited YouTube on Christmas Eve and shared this video with me, by either visiting my channel, clicking on the video on your homepage, or searching for the video title.

Though I will only be doing one more video for the year, you can rest assured that I'll pop out at least three more blog entries.

I hope the lot of you enjoy this weekend, and make good use of the time you have with your friends and family...or by yourself for a change. Happy happy, good people!

Much Love!
