Interesting Web Site
August 21, 2008
First and foremost, I am not claiming what that image says. In fact, I had some trepidation about doing this post, but after the initial shock (and laugh) its a serious site. Recently, on the open source WordPress forum plugin that I help develop, we had a support request from a site called I Married A Fat Bitch.
My first instinct, on seeing the support request, was that is was spam and it should be deleted. But, I went and checked out their issue (which is real, but not likely related to our plugin). I was still very curious about this site. A quick check of their About Page will give you a good laugh, despite the seriousness of the site.
Like I said, this is indeed a real site. And as an overweight husband, its my wife who would have the right to make a similar statement (weight wise anyways – not the bitch part) about me, I have to admit I found myself laughing out loud and reading more. I may have to check it out further.
Personally, I would be a bit more politically correct (and my friends would laugh at that) to present the info, but the site name is certain to draw visitors and might actually end up keeping a few visitors around to follow developments.
Working Out
June 6, 2007
I have been doing pretty good lately at my workouts. I have been hitting the elliptical trainer pretty hard. I am using it about 5 days a week for 30 minutes. Each workout burns between 300 and 400 calories, so I am pretty pleased with my efforts. I have been doing this regime for a month now.
However, as usual when I engage in fairly serious workouts, my weight is going the opposite direction. Since I started the efforts about a month ago, I have gained about 15 pounds. My eating habits and calorie intake haven’t really changed. I am not really that concerned with the weight as long as I slim down and am healthier. This happens every time I undertake a workout program. Again, it’s the overall results to be watching, but you wish the weight adjusted down also as a motivation factor. Once, in my younger days, I gained 40 pounds in a workout regime that included a lot of weight training, but dropped two pant sizes and a shirt size.
My clothes certainly haven’t gotten tighter like one would associate with an extra 15 pounds. If anything, they are slightly looser, but nothing has a dropped a size. I certainly feel in better shape. I really like the elliptical trainer vs the treadmill or a weight training program.
Clearly, I will continue these activities and continue to monitor my progress.
