The Way of the Warrior

So I love food, a lot.

I have been thinking about what I am going to do about a diet for the next 3 months. The problem is that I just can’t think of anything that will keep me happy and achieve the results I need.

Also, doing this alone is gonna be hard. Oh but size 38 pants you feel so close… 2 pant sizes is not asking for much.

Class this week

Class this week was interesting. We worked more with the breath although this time things where a little more hands-on.

I can;t remember the name of what we did, but basically the climax of the class this week was when we partnered up with other people in class and did this thing. We all placed our right hands back-to-back and then kinda rotated in a counter-clock-wise motion. It was a weird meditative rhythmic (semi-sexual, not in a literal sense but ugh, I can’t explain it :x) experience.

Generally I don’t like to be touched or in close-quarters to anyone I don’t know/know well. This was a challenge for me for that very reason, I just wanted to get it over-with LOL.

I (and some others in the class) noticed a few differences mostly between genders. Guys where a little more “lets do this” while the girls got into the “dance” more, generally I felt they where more relaxed.

I have not settled on a specific wording for my goals/quality although I think i am changing my quality to “Humble” rather than dedicated. Also, I have decided to go by pant size rather than actual measurements around my waist.

More to come :)

For real sitting totals

Sitting in class right now, grand total sitting is:

Awake: 97 hours this week

Sitting: 74.75 this week

I have literally been sitting all day. Thankfully I can blame work/school for this sudden but inevitable burst of laziness.

I’ll post an update after class… I have no clue what crazy thing we’re gonna have to do tonight.

Sitting totals

Tomorrow is the big day, so these numbers are more or less final, lets see how big a fat ass I am:

For Sunday:

Awake: 17 hours

Sitting: 13 hours

Today:

Awake: 12 hours (so far)

Sitting: 6 hours (so far)

Grand Totals

Awake: 84 hours this week

Sitting: 61.75 this week

SO, since these numbers are more or less final, let’s do some stats then I can go shoot myself.

I spent 73% of my waking hours sitting down.

I can guess that about 6 hours (7%) was driving, 9 hours was School (11%), and about 12 hours (14%) was from school.

That means that 27 of those hours (44% of sitting time, 32% of time awake) where spent sitting doing things I had to do.

So 34.75 of those hours (43%) where me sitting just because.

Just for funzies, I can estimate that 20ish of those hours where spent on tumblr (2 to 4 hours a night). Wow that’s unhealthy.

I am going to be honest that 27% that I am out and about is not that active, I’ve fallin into something of a slump I suppose. Can’t wait to see what the teacher wants us to do with this information tomorrow.

Well time for me to go and type up my proposal for my semester long project.

I’m not quite ready to measure everything

But I do have the little tape, I just need the courage to use it D:.

I was thinking on going ahead and narrowing the type of warrior down to Samurai Warroir, I just feel they are the most spiritually connected thus the most appropriate for this project… Thoughts?

Sitting totals for today

Lets see, got up at 8:45, stayed in bed until 10 (1.25) then ran an errand, went to work, did not sit until the last hour and a half, ended up staying at the store until 5 (3) got home, chilled (2) then was out and about (3) so…

Total time awake today: 14 hours

Total time today sitting: 9 hours

WTD Total Awake: 55 Hours

WTD Total Sitting: 42.75 hours

This monitoring your sitting time exercise is really interesting to me, and I'm wondering if I should try it too. Maybe we can start chronicling that together and decide to do something about it? Because I know I spend WAAAYY too much time on my butt.

Feel free! Then we can both be depressed D:

My Prof. said that anything in class can and should be done with others outside of class just as long as it’s done right. So if you do it, you have to pick a day and monitor yourself from that day to that day (like for me its tues. to tues).

I have a feeling this exorcise is going to come to a head an be something awful… My Professor has already warned us we will be healthier before the semester is over with. Alas! I was growing fond of being a slob.

This was a cool picture. Oh yeah, and I’m gonna be flooding you guys with warrior pictures. Huzzah!

Researching each continent and everything in-between

OK, maybe not that thorough but I need to start somewhere. The definition of warrior seems to mean a lot to different cultures. I think I will start in the east, and work my way through Europe then into the Americas.

This who deal is as much about the spirit as it is the body. I have a feeling I will be using eastern philosophy to define warrior because lets face it its the best (at least to my limited understanding). But we will see.
