Plans always change.

So my weight bench took a lot longer then I thought it would. Anyhow, I got it all put together yesterday after rearranging my garage, dumping a bunch of crap we have been storing for no reason, and lots of cleaning. Man, garages get muy chochino! Anyhow, tonight I will being exercising.

The bench we purchased is really cool. You can do lots of stuff on it and it didn't break the bank. Sears had a great sale on fitness stuff this weekend. Anyhow, the weight bench came with a cool exercise chart so I can work all those muscles that have been in hibernation since I was a preteen so this should be very interesting. My wife went to the store and bought lots of food yesterday. Most if it is green which scares me.

I also apoligize for not posting yesterday. On top of everything, I am having some computer issues but I think I have it all figured out now.

Weigh in at Brea Mall

So I just got back from the Brea mall weighing in and getting signed up for the challege. I made sure I went out and had the ritual "last supper" before the diet begins. It consisted of 2 chili rellenos, beans, rice, and flour torillas. Oh and don't forget the Diet Coke!

So my scale read 10 pounds lighter yesterday. I usually weigh in wearing my birthday suit before my shower so could i actually be wearing 10 pounds worth of clothes and Bling? Do chili rellenos pack that much lard to my ass? Who knows! so I threw a 10 pound weight on my scale when i got home and it started blinking and then died. I stepped on it and it basically said "screw you" and shut off so now I am going to have to make an emergency run to the Target (pronounced Tarz Jyay) for a new scale.

I am putting together my new weight bench tonight and will being my exercise regimen tomorrow. Sweet!

Welcome to the Slimmons Blog. Yes you read that correctly. I am going to post my trials and challenges as I begin an 8 week National Body Challenge that is being set up by the Discovery Health Channel. Me and 15 others, including my wife, are going to each throw some money into a pot and the biggest loser at the end of the challenge takes it all. I figure that is a small price to pay to motivate myself and others to get healthier this year.

I have already purchased some exercise equipment that is nothing major but enough to keep me busy and hopefully shed some LBS's.
