The No-Shave November Logs, Day 11: Creative Problem Solving

Well, now that my hand is well and truly better, it's time to stop slacking and get back to playing video games! Of course, this being the official Month of Manliness, I've got to find a way to incorporate one of my manly goals into my gaming. Fortunately, I know how to think on my feet, or - in this case - my ass.

First, I moved my exercycle in front of my TV watching chair, which (for the painfully unobservant among you) is the chair I watch TV in. Then, I locked it in place by shoving the rear legs under the chair. I removed the handles - as they were not only unnecessary, but also blocked the TV from where I was sitting - and lowered the seat so I'd have somewhere to rest my controller if, for example, I got a phone call (which always happens when I'm playing video games, usually right in the middle of a boss battle). Ta-da! Suddenly I'm not only playing video games, but also getting manly exercise on my new recumbent exercycle!

As you can no doubt tell from these pictures, the setup is pretty much perfect. I put in 1:45 on the thing today and didn't even notice. Sure, it's not as good as a serious workout, but I got a good sweat going, and if I'm going to sit on my butt in front of the TV, I can at least pedal a few miles while I'm at it.



Achievement unlocked: Con Artist - Figure out a way to make gaming look productive.

The No-Shave November Logs, Day 9: Fight Through The Pain

So, the whole "exercise" thing didn't really work out like I planned. Turns out my forearm muscles aren't ready to lift a 240lb fat man. Maybe I should work up to it by repeatedly lifting two 40lb fat men for a couple of weeks.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that I think I strained a muscle in my forearm. It hurt all day yesterday and today, and I'm worried that my career as a professional arm wrestler may be over. I'm resting it now, which means no typing or video games all weekend, so as you can probably guess, for the first time in my life I wish it was Monday.

You might be asking yourself right now, "If you can't type, how are you writing this blog?" To that, I must respond, "You're really nosy, aren't you? You think you can just ask any question about my personal life that pops into your head, and I'm automatically obliged to answer? Well I got news for you, buddy! This is my blog, and I'll write whatever the heck I please, even if I do have to have my wonderful son type it all up for me because my arm is crippled!"

I just want to say now that my son did a great job typing this for me. He's also really smart and handsome, so if you're a hot babe you should think about going out with him. I told him to write this part. He didn't write while I was in the bathroom and he was supposed to be posting this. Seriously. I'm not joking.

My son.

The No-Shave November Logs, Day 4: Rinse, Repeat

"I don't know how to put this, but I'm kind of a big deal"
-Ron Burgundy

Well, you've probably heard by now that I'm exercising. Yeah, I put in a couple of miles on the exercycle, then did some push-ups and sit-ups. No big deal.

Aw, who am I kidding? It's a huge deal (at least for me)! Huger still, I did it again today! Yeah, that's right! Two days in a row! Sure, when I was done I huffed and puffed for fourty-five minutes before runnels of crotch-sweat finally stopped pooling in my shoes, but I did it! I'm a man!

Well, that's the plan, anyway. We'll have to see if I can keep it up for the rest of the month, but the fact that I did it on Sunday is quite a victory on my part. It's sooooo hard just to get motivated to do anything on a Sunday, let alone something you hate. It's even harder when you're in agonizing pain from exercising on Saturday, but I soldiered through, because I'm a man!

Tomorrow: I take No-Shave November up a notch and stop shaving my legs and armpits!

The No-Shave November Logs, Day 3: Lift With Your Legs

I have to wonder, just how out of shape am I that hauling a box of groceries from the car to the house leaves me winded and massaging my lower back like I spent the whole day loading cinderblocks onto a truck? Granted, it was a box of groceries from Costco, where each pack of whatever you may be buying is guaranteed to feed a small Somalian village for six days when properly refrigerated. Still, I feel like I shouldn't need to buy a lifting belt just to bring in the groceries.

Today's manly act: Start exercising. Now, I will grant you that I haven't actually started yet, but I'm not going to let that stop me. I'm going to get on that exercise bike as soon as I've finished posting this, and I'm gonna pedal until my butt feels like Rocky used it as a speed bag. Granted, that will probably be about 1.5 miles, but it's a start, and if I throw in some sit-ups and push-ups, it'll be about fifty times more exercise that I've gotten on any given day in the last six years. Yay me!

Now, if I can just stick with it for more than one day. Maybe that'll be tomorrow's manly act.

UPDATE: I did 2 miles on the exercycle, 15 push-ups, and 25 crunches. Not a lot, I know, but I feel like I just did a triathlon.
