Small Steps Lead to BIG GAINS

I am Sick of the TrashTalk from PaintedGrrl

wallyj — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 05:59:21 +0000

OK.. so you all know about the BATTLE of the SEXES SMACKDOWN… but what I cannot believe is the amount of trash-talking crap coming out of PaintedGrrl.

I mean, I put up THE BUCKLE, and she put up NOTHING..only a bunch of empty words.

So I decided enough is enough.

WHEN I WIN…

I WANT…..

PAintedGrrl to SHINE MY BUCKLE while I am wearing it.

PAINTEDGRRL… if you are so confident… you should quickly accept… otherwise the world will know your true colors.

BUCKLE & “D”, Bringing BUCKLE back in Kissimmee Florida

wallyj — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 05:50:17 +0000

So I am winding through the ORlando area with my kids… and of course wherever i go..so goes the BUCKLE. So I walk into a Blockbuster Video to pick soemthing up for the boys and as I am paying the dude says…”Hey man, I like your BUCKLE”. I thanked the young man and then looked to my family and said..”you hear what my man “D” just said? HE SAID NICE BUCKLE!”

Long story short, I explain to “D” about the BUCKLE tour, BodySpace, www.bFit247.com and such and he says let’s take a picture. Here it is… you know what "D"?…. dang nice BUCKLE yourself.

This ain’t the end of the story…and I believe things happen for a reason… just then "D" says, "I am down over 200 pounds". So I of course shake his hand, give him the lowdown on the BUCKLE and tell him to post up his story…

Now , I ask you, what are the odds that the BUCKLE walks into a video store in a strange town and has this thing unfold? There are no odds… it was meant to happen..because the BUCKLE is on a mission… I am delivering a message… so listen up.

Have a nice day.

Can PaintedGrrl beat The BUCKLE? The Battle of the Sexes IS ON!

wallyj — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 18:00:40 +0000

Not since September 20, 1973 , when Bobby Riggs Played Billy Jean King has there been such an epic battle of the sexes.

The BUCKLE threw down the challenge to PaintedGrrl at Gold’s gym in Lynchburg, VA on October 30, 2007. PaintedGrrl immediately accepted and witnesses said she needed to be restrained after the photo shoot of the face-off pictured here.

The challenge is for the largest drop in Body Fat % over 8 weeks. Both PaintedGrrl and BUCKLE are using the same undisclosed Fat Burner, and the winner will get…. THE BUCKLE!

When asked why he put up such a valuable prize for this Battle of the Sexes, BUCKLE responded, ” I am so confident in the outcome of this SMACKDOWN that I could have offered up all my BUCKLES and my home… I mean come on….she’s a Grrl”. This is where PaintedGrrl needed to be restrained.

Once PaintedGrrl was calmed by her trainer NicoleD she was quoted as saying, “I’m gonna bitch slap this dumb-ass”.

This battle is sure to have BodySpacers tuning in and taking sides over the next few weeks.

Cast your vote here on who will win the bodyfat battle of the sexes. Or better yet…someone start a thread.. because I don’t do the thread thing.

BUCKLE reveals his training secret to the WORLD!

wallyj — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 21:00:02 +0000

So I figured i would give my trainer Gary Schulman props here. I started working with GAry 2.5 years ago and we went from trainer/client to friends. GAry has worked with me to craft a multi year game plan that has progressed to to where I am today and i must thank him for that. Gary also publishes his newsletter through my www.bFit247.com sites newsletter campaign.

Gary is 47 years old and in damned good shape.. look at those abs..and he just ate an ice-cream sundae! Gary specializes in weight loss, private & group instruction (on and off-site training). Anyway, we agree on most things and share the same vision for fitness and how to deliver to the people that need it.

So PROPS to GARY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!

The Cowboy Code of Honor

wallyj — Sat, 13 Oct 2007 19:27:06 +0000

I was reminded this morning by a question from another member here.. she asked if I was a cowboy. I have this hanging on my wall in the office..it is probably in the background of some of my pics. Probably not a bad set of rules to stick to…. I WOULD ONLY ADD that a BUCKLE should be worn. please print and hang this code somewhere you’ll see it often.

COWBOY CODE OF HONOR (GENE AUTRY’S version)

A cowboy never takes unfair advantage — even of an enemy.

A cowboy never betrays a trust. He never goes back on his word.

A cowboy always tells the truth.

A cowboy is kind and gentle to small children, old folks, and animals.

A cowboy is free from racial and religious intolerance’s

A cowboy is always helpful when someone is in trouble.

A cowboy is always a good worker.

A cowboy respects womanhood, his parents and his nation’s laws.

A cowboy is clean about his person in thought, word, and deed.

A Cowboy is a Patriot.

BUCKLE is Cooking it up again! Oatmeal/ProteinPlus Pancakes Kids LOVE ‘em

wallyj — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 19:05:11 +0000

OK, many people ask me what to eat for breakfast. When I respond I almost always eat egg whites or oatmeal I get the eye roll and a response that goes something like, “I HATE egg whites” or ” I cannot eat oatmeal”…when I ask why they cannot eat oatmeal the response comes back, “because I HATE OATMEAL”. I just kid, sort of, but the truth is these are important staple foods anyone truly interested in fitness and health should use. I believe people need to make a serious effort in working these foods into their diets. The reality is that , in the beginning, it may be difficult for people to start making the right nutritional adjustments… in fact, it is difficult because it is a learning process that takes time. So I decided to experiment with some new ideas and I came up with this recipe. The good news is it tasted REALLY good, to my wife, myself and most importantly my little one who loves sugar and spice and everything nice. Once it passed the KIDS test I figured I should pass it along to our bFit247.com subscribers and members.

In the recipe I use instant oatmeal because in the morning most of use are in a hurry (this could be a dessert also), and I prefer Kashi Go-lean as it has a higher protein value and flax seeds in it already, for the Omega-3 fatty acids. If you have another variety of oatmeal you can add flax seeds or oil.

OATMEAL-PROTEIN PANCAKES (made 4 medium pancakes)

1 Package Instant oatmeal

1 scoop Vanilla Protein(your choice)… I guess you could use chocolate if you prefer

2 tbls flax seeds or oil

2 tbls FiberSure ( I added this because most people do not get enough fiber and this product is great…blends right in and has no flavor)

3 tbls raisins

3-4 egg whites.

Cook the oatmeal as per the package Instructions. Then add in all the other ingredients except egg whites. Add the egg whites until it is the proper consitency for a batter. In a hot skillet ( I sprayed Canola oil for non stick) drop the batter and cook approx. 2 minuets per side. The oats are cooked already and egg whites cook quickly so watch carefully.

We enjoyed these with nothing else.. not even sugar free syrup.

You get your fiber, your protein and your carbs… NOW THERE IS SOMETHING NEW FOR BREAKFAST OTHER THAN EGG WHITES OR OATMEAL…sort of!

THANK YOU FITnFIRM!!!

BUCKLE is cooking Wheat Berries here

wallyj — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 19:00:55 +0000

Ok.. so I was on the road for a LONG TRIP and you get to think alot on the road. I also had people asking me what I eat in general, but mostly concerned with breakfast. I can eat egg whites and oatmeal until the cows come home(speaking of cows…I can eat steak until they come home also), most people roll their eyes a bit and say something like, “I HATE egg whites”, or “I cannot eat oatmeal becaue I HATE IT”. I guess maybe I felt the same way at one point, but no more. So I decide to play around with some other breakfast ideas. Boiling up some wheat berries here and my plan is to try them in a few things. Maybe a wheatberry/fruited salad for breakfast, or I’ll try adding them to my oatmeal/protein pancakes. I’ll put the recipe and nutition info in the www.bFit247.com food database and community library once I fine tune it.

Good news is my little Billy just scarfed down the oatmeal/protein pancake fortified with fiber, flax and raisins.. absolutely amazing because he’s been eating tons of BAD breakfast and I hope this points him into a new direction. If it passes the kid test you know it’ll pass the adult test!

cooking wheat berries is easy and you do not need to soak overnight

2 cups red wheat berries (has more protein than the blonde variety)

7 cups water

optional- 1 tsp salt(i left it out)

bring to a boil, reduce to simmer and cover. cooks in 1 to 1.5 hours, water is absorbed. you can store in fridge..maybe a week.

NUTRITION INFORMATION: Per 1/2 cup: 151 calories; 1 g fat (0 g sat, 0 g mono); 0 mg cholesterol; 29 g carbohydrate; 6 g protein; 4 g fiber; 263 mg sodium; 0 mg potassium.

Add me to your friend list please during the "BUCKLE 300" campaign!

All the Best!

Keeping it together on the road

wallyj — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 16:52:07 +0000

Some of you know I was on the road all week, in fact I’ll begin my return trip soon and it will be 5 days hard driving when all is said and done. Trying to stick with my routine (week 6 of 16 weeks) was virtually impossible, but I think I was able to keep some forward momentum. I was able to get a workout in at Gold’s Gym in Lynchburg… I’ll be looking to do the same on the return trip. I hope to get 3 workouts in during the trip(including 1 body weight type workout because I was living in a WalMart Parking lot).

Nutrition is another difficult thing on the road. On the first leg nutrition was not so bad as I was in an RV and stocked the fridge with egg whites, organic PB, oatmeal, flax oil, protein drinks, etc… I probably had a better diet that being at home. The return trip, in a car, will be quite different. So I’ll use the modified trucker diet of Jerky(great protein and almost no fat..but dang that sodium), and I’ll drink plenty of water to offset that jerky sodium, protein bars and fiber bars… oh yeah.. lots of COFFEE.

I want to thank all the bodyspace people that checked in on me while I travelled and hope I get to see some of you along the way! ALL OF YOU THANKS!

the BUCKLE is looking to workout with BodySpace people whileon the road.. drop me a line here and we’ll make it happen!

All the Best!
