Today's News
I had an exceptionally good workout (back and biceps) yesterday morning. That was the first time I've lifted in the morning in a long, long time. I still think I prefer lifting in the afternoon, but it was nice for a bit of change.
The reason I lifted early yesterday was so I could go on a bike ride after work and check out my new wearable HD camcorder. The package arrived on schedule, but someone in the warehouse accidentally pulled the wrong camera! When I opened the box I was disappointed to find the Contour 1080p and not the GoPro HD Helmet HERO. Like I said on Facebook yesterday, I was briefly tempted to keep the Contour. The Contour is an exceptionally good looking piece of equipment--far sexier than the boxy GoPro HD:
I stopped drooling long enough to reminded myself that this is a marriage and not a one night stand; personality trumps appearance. I did a lot of research on these cameras, and I know the GoPro HD Helmet HERO is the right choice for me. So I called RPM and they took care of things with no hassle at all. They overnighted me the GoPro camera, and it will be here today.
So I'm going to lift early again today. I want to get the camera out on the road this afternoon after work so I can test it out and get familiar with it before hitting the trails this weekend. I'll probably post some photos of the unboxing, some test footage and my initial impressions in tomorrow morning's update.

Transformation Spotlight of the Month For the November 2009 TSM I've selected Dan Selden. Less than two years ago Dan was drinking too much alcohol, eating mostly junk food and not exercising. His unhealthy lifestyle resulted in weight gain, negativity and depression. Back in January 2008 Dan decided to drastically cut back on his drinking, improve his diet and begin a regular exercise program. The result? A totally changed man. Dan dropped almost 30 pounds of fat, reduced his waist size by 6 inches, added muscle and is now in great shape; he regained his drive, focus and determination, and is once again enjoying life with a healthy, positive attitude. Dan's situation a couple years ago is so very common, and I'm confident that his transformation will inspire many others to follow his impressive lead! |
My Before, During & Current Pictures
These two pictures were taken on the very first day of my transformation--January 6, 2003.
These two pictures were taken just a few short months later. I'd lost over 50 pounds of fat, and added muscle. Amazing changes are possible in a relatively short period of time if you are willing to work hard and dedicate yourself.
These pictures show how I look after over four years dedicated to a healthy lifestyle.
Skeptical? Please read this.
