5 ways to easily lose some weight
It’s not easy to lose weight. But I managed to lose over 20 lbs. If you’re trying to do the same thing, I have a few pointers for you:
1. Eat well, but not all the time. Everyone knows that in order to lose some weight, you’ll have to do one of two things, or both of them: eat better, and exercise. It’s really fucking boring if you eat the same boring healthy shit every day, so mix it up a bit! When I was really hardcore about losing weight, I remember eating well all week, and eating well on Sunday day. On Sunday nights though, I would lay back on the couch, eat a whole bag of Herr’s Ketchup Chips, drink a couple tall boys, and watch Monk. It was fucking awesome. Pathetic. But AWESOME. Try eating well 93% of the time, and do whatever you want with the last 7% of your time. Or 90/10 if that’s easier for you. Actually, let’s go with 90/10.
2. Find an exercise you like. Even if you’re just exercising for 20 minutes a day, if you’re getting off of your ass and exercising more than before, thats great. When some people decide to strap down and lose some weight, they try to go full out with exercising. I was one of them. I told myself (when I was really motivated) that I would go to the gym for an hour, five times a week. Guess what happened.. I went maybe three times the first week, once the second week, then I stopped going entirely.
When you decide to exercise, you have to ensure that the plan you make for yourself is sustainable, and that you’ll be doing it a few months from now. That’s why you need to find something you like. Don’t just get a gym membership. Try different shit - play some tennis, field hockey, squash, badminton, soccer, golf, hiking, biking, jogging, etc. Then pick the one you like the most. Doing something you like, that lets you lose weight, is an amazing thing. My thing is running. Read the rest of this entry »
RE: Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
I don’t understand Facebook. For years people have used user-names to keep a layer of anonymity to their online activities. Then Myspace and Facebook come along. Now people are posting their names, pictures, biography, age, politics, etc…
Tell a young person about National ID Cards and you’ll hear the line “Fuck that. I don’t need big brother.” For a brief moment they get it. Your personal information is sometimes best left guarded. Then they jump on twitter and tell the world what time they took a dump.
Anyone who values privacy shouldn’t be using these services. And yet there they are…
Stupid, fun little fact boxes
If you love facts as much as I do (you probably don’t), you’ll probably like these new little fact boxes I coded up. Just head on over to chrisisthebest.com/w for more, and for some code to place a fact box on your website.
I’ll be updating my homepage early next month, adding a link to the new fact box page, as well as a link to a new podcast I’m co-hosting named The World’s Shittiest Podcast. Stay tuned.
