My new schedule...
Summer has made me WAY too lazy! I hate waiting to go to the gym until 9pm. It makes me feel like butt.
Starting tomorrow, awake by 8am at the latest. Small breakfast. Gym. Shower. Get on with my life!
I really need to do it this way so I feel awesome all day.
I love you summertime but I think we need to start seeing other people.

100 Day Burpee Challenge...
STARTS TOMORROW!!!
Weirdest thing...
Felt so incredibly sick after the gym today. Guess I didn’t drink enough water or something. So odd though. Almost made it through my whole workout except I didn’t get to jog at the end. Went home and napped it off.
Don’t want that to happen again! Haha

Have you ever heard of the....
100 day Burpee challenge?
I read about this a few years ago and was like “Cool!” then forgot it because I was too lazy to do it.
HOWEVER. Burpees is both a kinda gross sounding word and an awesome exercise!!
Would anyone be interested in doing the 100 day burpee challenge with me?
Basically on day 1 you do 1 burpee, day 2 you do 2 burpees…. day 100 you do 100 burpees!

Found a blog about rugby...
And now all I am is incredibly sad and missing it so hardcore.
I used to play rugby before my motorcycle accident and haven’t been able to play since March 14th, 2010. Yeah I do remember the exact date.
I was a lock which meant I was a total badass if I do say so myself. I once spent a season playing on a broken foot before we realized what was wrong with it.
I miss rucking, mauling,...
Haha WHOOPS
Bad start to my day! In the form of the second half of my burrito and a maple leaf cookie (really what in the world was my brain thinking??). Oh well! For the rest of the day I have a long day of exercise, food shopping, and moving boxes!
I just need to pick up some fresh vegetables and I will be good :)
I was standing in the kitchen
bendoeslife:
and I looked to my right and saw Frosted Mini Wheats. Then I looked to my left and I saw a can of cream cheese icing. Then I had a moment of clarity and thought, “don’t do it, Ben.” Then I lol’d and did it anyway.
Oh, dear.
Must leave the apartment now.
Happens to all of us!

My workout today...
SO SORE!!!!! Man those squats and deadlifts yesterday killed my legs enough to where today I was jogging and was like Ow Ow Ow Ow. So I took it a little easy on myself. Mostly power walked for 20 minutes for a cool 130 calories. Then did 50 trunk twists with a 10 lb weight, 40 toe touch crunches, and 10 pushups. Light day! I will hit hard tomorrow.
Intake for the day:
Breakfast: Scrambled...

Put 30 Day Shred on my Netflix queue a few months ago when I first started working out. Today I opened the envelope and there it was! Didn’t even know it was coming!
Its like a sign that I need to keep it up :) Thanks Netflix gods!
How to get rid of belly fat. →
A combination of strength training and aerobic exercise along with the right nutrition plan is the best way to get rid of that stubborn stomach fat. Muscles burn extra calories. The more muscle you carry on your frame, the more calories you burn in a 24 hour period which translates into extra fat burning power.
Sit-ups and other abdominal exercises will allow you to tone your belly and give...

In all, I would rate this day an A-. I could go for a little more...

Spagetti Squash? It's what's for dinner!
Take a spagetti squash and chop that sucker in half! Scrape out the pulp and seeds. If you want, save the seeds and roast them! I didn’t.. :(
When all scraped out, place in a preheated over at 350 degrees. I sprayed a light coat of Pam on mine. Not necessary. Let cook for around 40 minutes until you can scrape the insides into little threads with a fork.
This is how that will look:

Back from swimming already haha...
Treaded water for 5 minutes, jogged underwater for 5 minutes. My legs feel like noodles! Water jogging is so intense!!!
See you never, 100 calories ;)
Time to go.. Swimming!
Even though its starting to get dark out because its 7:30pm.
Hope its not too cold! I just wanna go tread some water for a bit.

I found out that my body is about 20.3% fat with this strange little hand thing that sends a shock through your body and looks at conductivity (muscle conducts electricity, fat does not). She said this is a very healthy range for my age/height (19 yo and 5’11”)...
