Day 1774 A busy day, up at 3 am, workout, show, work and work again Happy New Year!

The show was done solo but, did it go on the air?Did a great hour and burned 651 weighed in at a whopping 190! Not sure if my broadcast hit the air waves......

Day 1775 Happy New Year! a double? A triple ??

Day 1773 Workout ,church prepare for show.

 Does it mean you did a good job shoveling when your hands get numb? It does? Then I did a good job! Now, its off to the gym. As we wrap up another awesome work out. An a abbreviated one at that. I did an hour on the Cybex and burned as it said 650 calories in an hour? I stretched and headed out. I weighed in at 189.


I had a great workout before breakfast shoveled and did an hour of hard cardiovascular activity.  Now we go to church for the readings. From the book of Sirach and a letter from Saint Paul to the Colossians 

Day 1774 A busy day, up at 3 am, workout, show, work and work again Happy New Year!

 

Day 1772 will this new gym finally open its doors?

After a serious siesta.Now we get to find out...... We get it started with a bang as we do our 71ST double, I did a two hour plus workout. The new arc trainer is different from the 750 A I used yesterday. The Cybex 750 A. I am confident I will figure out how to raise my weight for the workout.

Either way, I found an assisted pull up machine, A room to do the planks and some crunches and stretches.

The goal now is to adjust to the new surroundings.As the snow continues to pile up.
I weighed in at 184 and it felt good to work so hard. I had a chance meeting with one of our guests for the show.

Day 1773 Workout ,church prepare for show.

Day 1771 We trek to the outskirts. The earlier we leave the more time we have to workout.

A good move as we ventured to the relatively unknown. What an place to workout except for no incline sit up bench. However there appears to be a machine that will replace it. I know "Dave" BOUGHT THE OLD ONE.So be it, I workout on a Cybex 750A. Very similar to any other arc trainer. I set the program to manual and my weight to 400 pounds for maximum resistance I set the timer to 60 minutes and the challenge to 100 and the incline to 20. All settings were set on the highest they would go. It was a great challenge. In sixty minutes I burned 1038.I left a puddle so I know I definitely had a good workout.

I weighed in at 189. My weight is a mystery because I do consume calories but it is not unhealthy or contains much fat. The only fat I really consume is olive oil and nuts.

If this new gym is similar to this one we should have no challenges.

Day 1772 will this new gym finally open its doors?

Day 1770 The last day of the old gym? Will there be any equipment left?

As we were  greeted by a wintry mix . Will that gym have a arc trainer for me to use?? Here I am ready to go at 439 am. The answer is?

Yes. Even though Rusty bought my machine that I worked on today, I still mannaged to do a 2259 calorie burn in 60 minutes and 50 pull ups with

5 minutes of plank sweating like crazy all three ways
    360 killers
   450 crunches
 620 q's
600 floors

Weighed in at 187.

Now it is done.That was my last workout in that gym. If I wish to workout tomorrow I will need to decide on going to another PF gym or workout at home. Although, the new gym is scheduled to open tomorrow, it is not expected to be open until 430 PM.So now the plan is to rise early and get to the gym closest to home base.

North Haven it is.

Day 1771 We trek to the outskirts. The earlier we leave the more time we have to workout.

Day 1769 A day off, do we dare doing a one hour of weights and one hour without?

We go one step further, we go two hours with the 2 1/2 pound weights on each ankle

As we do our 71ST DOUBLE HOW AWESOME !  Doing the workout with the weights on for two hours was so cool.We burned 4450 calories in 120 minutes and

did 60 pull ups pull ups
  5 minutes of plank sweating like crazy all three ways
    350 killers
   440 crunches

Weighed in at 186.

Its funny, there I was at two gatherings and I ate different food than everyone else. While the other guests enjoyed shrimp scallops with bacon and beef and cookies..
On Christmas Eve, I ate raw vegetables and a baked sweet potato and pretzels and almonds and peanuts.

On Christmas Day, I ate almonds and a big salad with raw vegetables rice and raw romaine and spinach.Their menu included Ham and turkey mashed potato with gravy stuffed breads and shrimp.Pies and cookies and who knows what else.

The new gym is scheduled to open on Friday December 28TH 2012.

Day 1770 The last day of the old gym? Will there be any equipment left?

Day 1768 MERRY CHRISTMAS!

As usual, it was tough to get a real tough work out in on Christmas. This year, year five I put on 2 1/2 ankle weights around my ankles and rode the life cycle for over an hour. I feel very blessed today as I attended church and arrived late. How ever despite my late arrival I was able to participate in the Christmas service. While I was at my seated in the last pew  I was asked to help with the collection.

Day 1769 A day off, do we dare doing a one hour of weights and one hour without?

Day 1767 Today, get up at 3 am do a workout at home with ankle weights.Then prepare for the show and do the show.

All that did not happen. As I found out at 9 pm that the show time was put on automation. So there was no sense doing a show.

I did get to the gym (what was left of it) at 445 am and did 2215 calorie burn in 60 minutes and did

did 42 pull ups pull up

The past four Christmas have fallen on Days that were a lot more comfortable. In 2009 Christmas was on a Friday,2010 Saturday, 2011 Sunday and now Christmas will be on a Tuesday.

Day 1764 When will, they announce the opening day for the next gym.

I heard indirectly and I did not confirm. Two weeks (Day 1777). So now we have a target date. Christmas' workout what will it consist of? All gyms will be closed my gym which is a broken life cycle or a walk is the only options I have set for now. The place I bought a tread mill at may still be in business and may have a spinning bike for sale. It will cost around 100 to 200. I would use it on Christmas but is it worth it?


I do not like the fan blowing on me while I work out. I wish I knew why. I need to ask simple questions to get the bigger answer.What is it about the fact that a breeze  blowing on me while I workout makes me feel unhappy?

Burned 2215 calories in the hour weighed in at 187. It is funny with no music my whole flow feels altered.Did 50 pull ups.Did a few minutes of 3 planks. Did 340 killers and 430 crunches and 640 quantum crunches with I do not know how many floor crunches.

Day 1764 When will, they announce the opening day for the next gym.

Day 1762 Who knows what will be missing

There is always something missing but we do it anyway. We need to stop looking at the hill from the bottom and think about the view from the top. As the days of the old place start to dwindle I noticed fewer people are showing up at the gym. Human nature is funny that way most people I have observed tend to not go gym if there is an obstacle or an excuse. I love it, since I have been all about showing up for last 1762 straight days. I really wish I had the power to get every one to want to work out every day as bad as I do. Question, can you do this? http://health.yahoo.net/experts/dayinhealth/weird-test-predicts-longevity.

Burned 2201 in sixty and shorten my circuit after I did 62 pull ups. I tested myself and scored 8 to 10 which is normal. Weight 186.

Day 1763 What is the eta on the new place?

Day 1761 Back to regular workout schedule.

I would not call it normal.The machine I have been working out on since January 27, 2010 has been removed from the gym as they are getting ready to close down the current gym and will be opening a new one.

I used a different arc trainer and burned 2215 calories in sixty minutes. It was a challenge to do that so I know I put in another great effort.

If you love LIFE you are blessed. If you show your appreciation for your blessing then you bless others and the one who blessed. Once you complete that circle your life is complete. You can do no more then to share what you have with all around you, and thank the one who has given it to you. Can I get an AMEN?

Burned 2329 calories in 60 minutes. That is an increase of 47 calories from yesterday's 60 minute battle. The back felt looser so I resumed most of my normal numbers

1756 Dig deep and see what you will find within yourself.

How bad do you want to do it? Simple, but that usually determines our destiny. Answer that question which is really a part question

Define bad
Define want
Define it
Our definitions also go a long way in determining our future.

Today, I battled and I beat yesterday. Stiff back and all. Oh it is fine once it gets loose. Now it feels fine.I am excited about moving forward through the day.

I burned 2282 calories in the hour
I did about 3 quarters of what I normally do on the circuit.
Weight 188. That weight will come down. As I have made a few adjustments. No peanuts and no concentrated orange juice.

Day 1757 Our strength is in our numbers!

Day 1755 because you are who you say you are

Getting ready to pop into the gym and do the 1755 + 69=1824TH 1 hour of hard cardio in the last 1755! days.

Boy! It is a good challenge with asore back. I beat yesterday 2279 I wore three heavy layers as the temperature dipped.

Did the circuit gingerly but felt looser as I went along. Weight 187. Today, I am cutting out concentrated orange juice and replacing it with cold orange slices. I will drink seltzer. The plan, seltzer and oranges to see if I lose weight and I have eaten the last of the unsalted peanuts in a shell until, I buy more. The plan, do not buy any more. I will eat the rest of the salted almonds. Then, eat only unsalted almonds or freshly roasted.

Let us change our eating and hopefully capture some different results.

1756 Dig deep and see what you will find within yourself.

Day 1754 It is beginning to feel a lot like Christmas.

A little reflection here. My body has been tested but is yet to be bested when comes to showing up for an hour of hard cardio. Yesterday, was a good test for my back. As was reported on Day 1744 some 10 days ago when I tweaked it after the day before shrink wrapping drills for 2 hours. Any one up for a pound of flesh? Today I came out of the rack ready to despite some soreness and stiffness. I did

2272 in 60 and it felt great!

I tempered my workout after that and went about half speed. I wanted to see how it felt. I did get looser as we went along but I did not test it too much.
My weight is on the rise. On May 20,2012 ( Day 1579) I weighed in at 174. today 205 days later I weighed in at my highest since March of 2008.

Reason? I have a big appetite after moving heavy objects all day and I have recently been eating a good amount of nuts. Mainly pea nuts and almonds.Our bodies crave by nature fat and salt.I eat mostly fruits, vegetables and whole grains I guess a nut is?


Day 1755 because you are who you say you are

Day 1753 Last show (25th) until 12/31/12; workout a, show and work.

A great work out! Burned 2340 again. I had a fantastic 30 minute pace then I waned and burn less in next 30. I decided yesterday  and today to wear a hood while doing the sixty minutes.

Off too the studio to do last show until after Christmas.

Weighed in at 186.

Day 1749 Wow 51 days to 1800 days and 76 days to 5 years!

How many of you would say I am

•  nuts
• not believable
• average and ordinary
• amazing
• blessed
• all of the above

For working out 1749 days without a day off. Raise your hand if you have ever worked out for 7 consecutive days, or more than 7 consecutive days.

Today, was colder I know I work out inside but I always wear 3 layers of clothes to do my 60 minutes of hard cardiovascular work out. It funny they have made a decision at the gym I work t in that they will no longer fix things that are broken. Their reason is since the place is to be torn down soon what is the value?

It also surprises me how many people need something to take their mind off of their activity they use to work their muscles. I see most with headsets or books or their I eyes clued to the TV's.When it comes to doing a lengthy workout I found out a few years back that I can do my hard cardio in a pitch black setting, with no sounds at all for an hour or more. The way I do it is I focus very hard on going as hard as I can for as long as I can.

Today, I burn 2302 in 60

Day 1748 the Louisiana Purchase?

Wrong. Oh well, day 848 of daily questions.Yes, for the last 848 days in a row I have been posting a daily question. Check out the blog... http://jspinato.blogspot.com/ Those were the early questions.

Today, I got back at it by burning 2317 in an hour. I realize these number are lower than before but the weather has been warmer and I am still wearing two haeavy sweat shirts over a t shirt while doing these 60 minute work outs. However, I need to loosen up and get moving quicker.

Day 1747 Will be better!

Well, I feel better. Thank you. My production was way off as I struggled in the warmer weather to burn calories. I did wear warm clothes as I put on a t shirt and 2 sweat shirts.It all comes down to getting loose. My back has been a little testy and my legs somewhat sore and tight. Yesterday, I did find myself sitting around a lot. Sitting is against my usual mode of operation.

As I burned a poultry 2294 calories in the hour. That machine is still broken with no time line of fixing as the gym I go to is about to close down. They have stated that they will open another gym but who knows.

The daily toil not in order today.


Day 1747 Will be better!

Day 1745 Do we do another double?

I felt I could have done a double but I also felt if I did another double I would not have enough left to do good circuit so I did an hour plus a good circuit. It felt awesome to burn 2349 in sixty and to do a strong circuit.

Day 1744 We have room for a double!

What phrase makes more sense in spite or despite? Any way disregarding a testy back that I got yesterday around 1130 am at the daily toil. I did do a double. Yep!Burned 4497 calories in 120 minutes that now makes it a total of 69 times within the 1744 day consecutive workout streak where I workout for 2 hours or more  instead of the one hour I do.
 Today, I weighed in at 181. Back was testy, but I was determined.
So the net  out in the last 1744 days is this 1675 one workouts and 68 two hour workouts 1 three hour work out. Now that three hour workout was probably about a year ago.

3 hour workout on December 24TH( day 1036)2010. So it was two years ago.
 A look back........

Day 1036- Merry Christmas! Lets workout for three hours!

God bless all at this wonderful Christmas time! Since we got no place to go, lets do a three hour cardiovascular workout and burn 3795 calories while doing it! Awesome! A marathon like none other I have done before.

I got on the machine at 441 am and no boys and girls no sign of Santa yet. As I looked outside to spot Santa all I could see was darkness. Some three hours later I looked up and it was 741 am and in was sunny outside. I burned more calories than I ever have in one cardiovascular workout.

Just for the record I have now done 1045 sixty minute cardiovascular workouts in the last 1036 days.

I will say I felt awesome, but to be honest, a little wobbly. But no matter, I feel tremendous now! That was an experience like none other.

Well, we all will watch for Santa now!

That was fun!

Day 1745 Do we do another double?
