DID IT EVER GET YOU FAR?
NEVER SEEN YOU FALL SO HARD – DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE?
Thus concludes the second of my pointless lyric three-part-break-in-wakamoto-delights titles. So, nothing too exciting in this post – I’ll admit, I’m mostly using it as a way to remind myself of various things. So hah.
Kingdoms of Amalur is looking pretty decent. I think I will pick up the demo, and if that turns out well, I’ll get the full game when it comes out early Feb. I still haven’t bought Skyrim, hilariously. The combat in Elder Scrolls games is just so mind-boggingly bad that it puts me off playing. You can disagree with me, but you would be wrong. Bethesda can’t even into ladders, how can they hope to make decent combat? Sheesh.
Also, my plan of gaining 50lbs (gradually increasing the amount/duration by a little bit a week):
- 40 push-ups in the morning and evening – 80 a day.
- 100 crunches in the morning and evening – 200 a day.
- 40 squats in the morning and evening – 80 a day.
- 10 minutes of chest-expander thing, morning and evening.
- 5 minutes on exercise bike… thing, morning and evening.
- Nom loads of rice/pasta/fish + extra portions + adding slices of brown bread to meals.
I know that’s not really the best plan and I should probably be something some spastic alternation of pull/push and resistance/cardio and all that stuff, but right now, I’m content to be doing this, and we’ll see how it works out. Obviously, I would assume the main thing for putting on weight is just that I need to eat a crap load more calories (around 2100 a day) but that is… quite frankly, the hardest part. Spreading out six smallish meals throughout the day is a pain in the ass. So I’ll just take it in small steps and eat bigger portions and so forth.
Realistically speaking, I’m not hoping nor wanting to become some disgusting body-builder looking thing, but since I stopped doing martial arts, I need to find some way to keep my body in relatively good shape. I’m not the sort of person who assumes they are in good shape simply because they aren’t fat, either. Ideally, I could take up swimming and some weight training too, but I am determined not to swim in public places. Weight training though? Hell, I can find a way to do that without going to the gym. The only thing that I can’t really do at home, so to speak, is pull-ups. For some reason there is nothing and nowhere in my house that would work for that – I might have to drill a bar into an external wall somewhere and start hurling myself onto that.
Yeah.
In any case, I am determined not to become some obsessive health freak. Ideally, I could reach 175lbs and have all that gain be muscle, but I’ll be happy if I put on 10lbs, let alone 50lbs. Spoilers: 175lbs would require me to put on rather more than 50lbs.
Oh right, there’s an Eureka Seven anime sequel anddddd I find myself indifferent. Odd.
