My morning routine is usually exercise for half an hour and then it usually takes me half an hour to get ready for work.

Who's the best teacher you ever had?
My family. Even younger cousins, siblings, etc. Learning happens all the time from all different directions if you'll just keep an open mind and listen (not hear; LISTEN).

Rabbit in Hotel Parking Lot
This rather large rabbit (though it doesn't really look like it in this picture) was hanging out in the hotel parking lot.

Are Sheep Smart?

After raising sheep for over twenty years I can tell you that sheep will figure out just about anything involving feed. But they will also eat until they die (Enterotoxemia). Also, rams are good buddies until it comes time to compete for the ladies.

Do you have any pets? What are they and what are their names?
One dog named Patches. He must think he's a cat, because he keeps using up lives.

Ab Quest 2011: Day Four
Yesterday was a rest day and that was a good thing. My sinuses have been wreaking havoc all winter so far, and yesterday was one of the rougher days. Plus, my legs were (and still are) so sore from lifting on Tuesday that it’s hard to even walk, much get into and out of a chair.
This morning’s treadmill session was pretty good. I am the owner of a heart rate monitor now. I’m not sure how much help it’s going to be, but it’s fun to play with and keeps me distracted while running. Being distracted is the key for me to have a good run. As long as I’m not thinking about it and can go further and harder.
Going to try and head to the gym a bit earlier to avoid the noon crowd. I’m curious to see how long the crowd lasts before they break their new year’s resolutions. Hopefully most of them will stick with it.
I’m following the meal plans pretty well. Made an adjustment last night because it was late when I got home, but still stayed within my allowed range.

Ab Quest 2011: Day Two
I was surprised at how easily I followed the meal plan for the first day. Cardio yesterday morning went well also. I decided after visiting the gym yesterday afternoon that I need to change the time that I go there. I did all but two of the planned exercises. I did those before starting today’s exercises, which were legs. Holy cow! It’s like being back in high school after the first basketball practice. I fully expect to fall down just while walking. Tonight will probably be a cheat meal. Otherwise, I’ve been following as planned. I didn’t do so well on the treadmill this morning. All of my joints were griping. I decided just to walk it so that I’d at least get something accomplished.

Ab Quest 2011: The Beginning
In September of 2010, I made it to 13.75% body fat. It was the slimmest and fittest I have ever been. In 2011, I’m giving myself six months to get to 13% body fat and show abdominal muscle definition. Here are my starting goals (goals should be constantly re-evaluated and adjusted):
DAILY GOALS
SIX MONTH GOALS
LONG TERM GOALS
My current measurements are thus:
- weight: 138.2
- body fat %: 18.1
- hips: 39
- waist: 32
- body fat weight: 25.01
- lean body mass: 113.19
