Working Away the Tummy of Doom!


Hello my readers!
Now, this may be a TMI (Too much information) post; however, I felt like this was the only place that I could safely do it.
For the past six weeks, I've been working my way up to running 5k straight, eating better (and more!), and all together living a healthier lifestyle. Since school let out, I have been able to lose about 15lbs! It's hard to say, since I didn't record before and after pictures, or before and after weights.
SO!
For the next six weeks, I'm upping the game by adding arm, core, and leg weights, as well as the possibly pushing myself up and over 5k and around 10k.
And I will post, here, my current stats so when I finish the six weeks, I can look back and see how far I got.
Weight: Right now I land in at a whopping 197lbs.
Figure: Here are my "Before" pictures!
 
As you can see, I'm not too terribly bad off. I can stand to get rid of those "lovely" love-handles.
Wish me luck!
Camp Nanowrimo starts in 5 minutes!!!! AHHHH!!!

 
  PS. Here is the link to the 6 week abs workout I'm doing. No crunches! Muahaha!

Camp Nanowrimo 2013

Hello my lovely readers!
It seems that I have fallen off the face of the earth, again!
However, I've made a rebound!
And not just any rebound!
A writing fueled rebound!
*Cue applause!
Now, I know what you are thinking, "But Thomas, you always get on here and apologies for not writing posts and promise to write more; but you don't!"
Well, this time something completely different will be happening!
I have decided to partake in Camp Nanowrimo this July (As in, tomorrow!) and the medium I've chosen for my summer "novel" is blogger!
The story is called, Memoirs of Escalation, and it is kind of like a day to day life with me; however, the story will be told from the point of view of my psychopathic alter-ego, giving the story an incredibly dark twist.
I wont be writing this story on this site. I have created a secondary blog for my story, and the link will be bellow.
A word of caution, I put a "Mature Audiences" block on this blog because I'm not entirely sure what actually is going to end up on there.
I feel obligated to share with you my reasons for pursuing such a dark path in my writing for the oncoming challenge. There are reasons!
1) I want to show you, the readers, the process of thinking that a psychopath actually operates on. And show that they are still "human" to some extent, but are so warped in their chemistry (because of their actions and decisions) that they cant function as humans any longer. These people actually exist.
2) To reinforce my theology that, it takes a certain amount of darkness to truly be able to appreciate the beauty of the light.
3) To make you think about yourself. I want this to be an incredibly awkward read. I want you to squirm in your seat and touch your face, rub the back of your neck and rub your arms in discomfort. I want you to look into your own heart and see if you can relate to my character. Soul Search!
Well that is all, my wonderful readers!
Here are the promised links, and if I cant post on here during the next month, you will find me at the twin site:
