A DIFFERENT kind of burn……
Calories! That’s what I burned. Instead of lifting with high reps for muscle burns this morning, I took a trip to Cardio City, with a detour through Sweat Town. I indulged in some sweets last night with another movie night, this time with my daughters, while my wife had a ladies night out with some friends. We watched Nanny McPhee. It’s a good thing I’m a gym rat. With 3 ladies at home, I don’t get to watch too many guy movies. If I’m gonna shed tears, it needs to be The Dirty Dozen and the like. Like when Jim Brown makes that sprint at the end of the movie. Now we’re talking…….. 
WORKOUT THIS MORNING: Cardio!
- 30 min’s of varying sprint intervals on the elliptical. Heartrate 165-170.
- 4 sets of crunches with 25 lb wt.
- 30 min’s of varying sprint intervals on the stationary bike. Heartrate 150-160.
- 4 sets of situps with 10 lb wt.
Today is the 4th day in a row I was wide sometime between 3:30-4:30am. Glad to have endorphins carrying me through the morning. It’ll be java this afternoon…..
Just getting to the gym IS a successful workout!

We (the wife and our daughter) started watching "Flyboys" last night. Our daughter is 10 and the movie is PG-13 because of war violence, but we’ll see how it goes. No snacks. How are you coming on breaking that habit?
Good cardio work afterward

Well I guess the envy phase of you having three beyond adorable daughters officially ends with this post.
As much as I am mister anti-sweets for all genders, I’m an especially staunch advocate that men, real men, should never, ever under any circumstance eat sweets…And watching "Nanny McPhee"? I had trouble just typing that.
What ever happened to Kirk Douglas, remember him? Do you think Spartacus ate sweets? Hermanicus sure doesn’t. Charles Bronson? You think John Wayne ate Creme brulee?
Okay, I’ll grant you that Telly Savalas had his weakness for Tootsie Pops, but he had a doll, A LITTLE GIRL’S FRIGGEN’ TALKING DOLL totally make him her BITCH in an episode of the twilight zone, so he’s out of the mix.
You know how yoga (Ugh! The penultimate testosterone killer) "people’ sit there chanting "OOOoohhhmmmm".
My RX for you, my man (If I can still call you the "M" word in this day and age) Is to sit in a lotus position and chant "Rare Bloody Steaks, William Holden, Football, rare bloody steaks, William Holden, Football." Doing a little Bill Holden style drinking wouldn’t hurt, either; that is if you can refrain from banging your head on a coffee table and bleeding to death on the floor (But a manly way to go, if you ask me. Stupid, but manly).
That’s all.

I take that back. I’m still envious over your adorable daughters!
But, gosh darnit, "real men" don’t eat sweets! Uncover those abs bay!
That’s all.
