If I may coin a new word, I’d like to record my current disenchubbening efforts.
Disenchubbening, or the removal of one’s chub, is the act of trying to get my stationary butt into slightly better shape. I had this goal in mind pretty much from day one of my California adventure: one of the many perks offered by PBwiki is a membership at Gold’s Gym. When I first got here, I had trouble actually getting motivated as well as easy access to all sorts of new fast foods. No good!
About two months ago, Brian finally got me to start going to the gym. It’s good that he’s dragging me there, but I I hate, hate, hate working out. The whole gym environment is really weird to me — strange evidence of how different our modern environment is from what we evolved for. That being said, exercising fills me with an enormous sense of well-being, so I deal with it.
A huge thread on reddit about the hundred pushups training program led to an office challenge. We’re on week three, and things are getting hard. It’s sort of funny: the first day of day three was ridiculously difficult. Our wiki has a grid listing who did how many push-ups. Yesterday’s entry for Brian? A picture of the fail copter. Chris? Basically fail. Me? “83. Poorly.” It was insane!
Anyway, hopefully I’m getting in shape. I’ll post an update if I actually start to notice any benefit, other than feeling less gross about my lifestyle.

HAHAHAH!
I go to the gym 2-3 times a week. I find it makes me feel alot better. And if I do eat crap I dont feel as bad since I will work it off.

Well, its great that you’re exercising, but you should try to find something you like doing. Couldn’t your people come up with a team game you could play 2 - 3 times a week?Softball, badminton, even baseball? Also, to really disenchub, you should go to a Weight Watchers weigh-in as well.

You want to lose weight? Go to Kendo in 35 degree weather and wear all the 9kg of gear. Whew.

Yay for exercise Mr Christian, nice work. You know that you just have to play your wii though, and it can be called exercise, no strenuous stuff required
Alexa
You should get Wiifit! It would be perfect for your disenchubbining!
Victoria@Jeffrey-s house
I don’t have a Wii! Though Wiifit is supposedly very good!
=D

102 push-ups today. I feel like I am having a stroke.

Don’t over do it! You are young, but you are capable of hurting yourself. You too Steve!

One other thing, Joey is trying to sell his 10 year old truck F-150. He has kept immaculate care of it. He’ll sell it cheap - if anyone knows anyone interested. Let me know.

Hurt myself? I’m less concerned with the heat as I am the people attacking me with swords.
