Day 11 of my 30 day challenge 900N30

Today went OK.  Damn rain is keeping me from filming outdoors, thus my downhill bike films are not happening.  Just to wet.  I went out for an evening ride anyways though, even though It was damp.
     My eating habits have changed a little bit on advice of a friend.  He says to switch up your eating scedual from three times a day to 5 times a day to four times a day.  This way you trick your body into not getting used to a regiment of a steady diet and therefor won't store as much fat.  not sure if it will work, but I'm trying it out anyways.  I've also increased my protein.  I'll get some whey protein powder later on.
     My Beta testing also didn't go so well today.  I logged in and tried to make a new character, but it wouldn't let me complete.  Then I tried to log in and, no go there either.  I think the servers are going through updates or something.  I'll try again later on.
     My exercising is going well, and I had a photo shot today with my good buddy Ken.  He's trying to make me an award winning website with some cool things going on there.  We will see what he can come up with.  I look forward to it.
     Anyways, that's about it for today guys.  I'll update again in the morning.

Day 10 of my 30 day challenge 900N30

     ACK!  I'm back up to 272 pounds.  I'm not sure how that is even possible, other than I'm gaining muscle mass now faster than I'm losing water/fat weight.  I feel less fat, and look less fat!  My diet hasn't really changed and I'm doing more cardio/working out.  Hmmmm  Maybe my body is storing for some reason.  Oh well, will ponder this more today with Google and a work out friend.
      My bike ride was pretty good today.  I just kind of rode around today rather than look for hills.  That's because it was pouring out, and the camera does not like rain.  Hopefully we will have better weather in the morning. :)
      I think I did a great job at editing my shaving video today.  I went a little bit crazy with some of the things that where bouncing around in my head, but I think people really liked it.  They got to see my funny side.  I've got a lot more in store and the funny stuff will trickle out.
     Today at the grocery store I must have been really hungry.  I  waited for the wife to travel down an isle, and then I dug into a cooked chicken with my fingers.  Just as I was knuckle deep in this chickens thigh a short Asian dude walked around the corner and gave me a dirty look.  This only made me savor the flesh even more as I liked my lips in front of him. Then I gave him a little smile.  Ha. He wishes he was me!

Day 9 of my 30 day challenge 900N30

     Today I've just been exhausted!  Not sure if it's my food intake or just being creative and working my mind 24/7.  I'm starting to think I should have implemented a day off a week or even two.  Oh well to late now.  I think more than anything, I'm just not getting enough rest as I had a one hour nap today.   I could tell that it was much needed.
     Once I got my bike ride video in, I felt a tonne better.  I also got my head shave done, but I have some further footage to take in the morning before I release it to youtube.  It's going to be epic!
     Still chugging along with the rest of my challenges.  some of them are harder than others, and some are pretty easy.  my exercising is going well.  I'm now getting into more than 30 sit ups and squats.  I had to modify my squats though and not come down so close to the ground as my left knee has really turned into a bugger.
     My art a day is going well.  I just wish I had more time in a day to do something really neat.  Maybe I'll do something that takes a few days to complete.
     Anyways.  I'll post more in tomorrow.

Day 8 of my 30 day challenge 900N30

Off to an eventful day!  I've exercised way more than my program called for.  I'm also trying to lose as much weight as I can in this 30 days as healthy as I can.  I went to a pharmacist yesterday and I asked what else I could be doing to lose weight, just for in case I plateau.  Pretty much other than the things I'm doing, she said to take Hydroxycut.  Well, that stuff has sodium, which is salt, and caffeine which they just don't call caffeine.  They call it Tea extract.  I'm not drinking caffeine for my challenge so this stuff is out.  And sodium puts water weight on, not what I'm looking for.
     I gotta speed through my challenges today as It's Date night tonight.  Gonna go and watch Mastermind.   Should be good as it's a cartoon and Will Farrel and Brad Pitt are in it!
     My bike ride today was Awesome!  Just saying if you haven't checked out Day #8 bridge ride then you are gonna miss out.  It wasn't raining so I got to take my cam with me outside, so I took full advantage of it.  :)
     My head is getting pretty cut up from Speed shaving, but whatever.  I'm a Self appointed WORLD RECORD holder in whole head speed shaving!  And I have Challenged YouTube to try and do better!  So now I gotta bring my A-GAME!  35.86 seconds isn't good enough.  I wanna be down to 10 seconds from the time the razor hits the head till it drops.  I'm not sure what to do once I achieve my goal, but I have some ideas kicken around up there in the old bald noggin.
     So I got my artwork done for the day.  With a little help from my buddy Tux and my wife I was able to set up an artistic photo of my cat taking a dump on the toilet.  I also did the graphic work on the bubble, and on the book cover.
     So almost time to edit today's footage and then out to the mall! yay

Day 7 of my 30 day challenge 900N30

     So today I spent most of it working on my truck.  Cleaning every nook and cranny and door jamb.  It took most of my day because I had to go to the hundred dollar store. (Wal-Mart)  I call it the hundred dollar store because every time we go there, it's a hundred bucks! lol  The truck is spick and span, running great, and i took video and pictures of it so I can post some adds. :)
     Exercising is getting better. and I lost more weight yet again.  I didn't think I would due to the Vodka consumption last night.  I like a few sips here and there once every 5-6 months.  But I think vodka turns straight, into sugar in the blood.  Tomorrow may not be so good.  I worked out extra hard today though to make up for it.
     My painting today is AWESOME yet again.  today I painted a mushroom for my wife as a gift.  She likes my mushrooms! :)
     Short post today. watch my youtube video for more info about how my week went overall.

Day 6 of my 30 day challenge 900N30

     Yay.  I lost more weight.  Grand total. drum roll please.....11.5 pounds in 5 days.  o.m.g. I'm loving it and myself today!  Now it's almost time to work out.  So for my artwork today I painted my tv wall mount board with the Digital ZERO productions name and logo.  I think it looks cool.
      I made some awesome meals today, but most of my day was spent filming my cat getting a bath, and then the clean up after wards.  I cleaned the kitchen/dishes/floors and the bathroom tub/walls/toilet/sink/floor.  This was so that I could prep for later.
      I made my wife dinner, and ran her a bubble bath.  The tub was lined with candles, and a gift bag with a card in it for my sweety.  She loved it all.  And I did it all just because!
      So I'm trying to get my website up and running and it's causing me nothing but hassles.  The page I had was an old page, and my hosting companies web site is so convoluted with adds and gimmicks to get you to spend more money that their web site is impossible to navigate.   I'm using go daddy!  Would it be so hard for them to just put up a video that is actually useful?  I just want to upload my damn page that's already made in dreamweaver and ready to go.  Is it so hard to ask for a "upload your website" button.  If I have to read a 2 million page essay on how to do it, I'm not! lol why is stuff like this made so hard.
     Anyways, I made some sweet vids today, and apologized to an old friend today.  It really felt good to get it off my chest.
      My wife kicked my ass out the door today.  We'll she put things into perspective for me.  So even though it snowed 10 inches of ice and slush, I went out and filmed the downhill ride today!  It was well worth it I think.

Day 5 of my 30 day challenge 900N30

 So I lost ANOTHER 2 pounds! No pop/salt is probably taking a lot of the water weight off.  I've also been taking a few vitamins every day like vitamin B, D, a multi-vitamin and something else.  I've also got a secret weapon that I'm taking and you'd be surprised to find out what it is.  Mix that in with some key exercises and a bunch of mountain biking and the pounds are just dropping off.
     I went for a drive today and got another shot of a fire hydrant.  I'm not sure why I like to take pictures of them other than I think they look funny.  I also doctored one up today in photo shop so I hope you guys like it.  I'll take an interesting pic of my food today as well.  Check out my twitpic account for those pictures.  http://twitpic.com/photos/uxcDigitalZERO 3-4 new pics every day!
     On a side note, I'm still trying to find out whats going on with a local comic book store.  The owner passed away and I'd really like to get a hold of some of the inventory.  I'm a big comic book fan if you didn't already know.  The only thing that I know is that the building has been unopened for over a month and probably closer to two months.  The inventory is just sitting there and the lawyers and accountants are working on it.  So I guess we will see.  Rumor is that the kids don't want to do anything with the store.......so I'm thinking liquidation sale! :)
     Jenns going running tonight, So I'm going along on my bike, and we'll see if I can get some ass shots.......of me riding my bike.  Dirty monkeys, you thought I'd take ass shots of my wife......well I probably will but that's for my own use!  Don't even ask, It won't happen, not in a million years, not for a million dollars........OK a million would be fine but the cloths stay on! HA!
     I'm really enjoying myself with this project.  I'm editing videos now, and slicing and dicing music to go along with them.  I'm also adding captions to my new videos that I think are pretty funny.  So if you haven't checked them out yet.  www.youtube.com/user/DIGITAL3ERO  Have fun and leave me a comment on other things I should be doing!   My grandma says "go and subscribe or I'll send you pictures of mikes ass"
