Hey all,
I first know that I François Collins have been late in writing entries on this blog or any of my numerous blogs but I have been well busy. This has been a truly been a busy last 3 weeks. I never felt so busy in my life. I had a lot of things to do and now that I have time I can tell you that I am so glad that things are easier on me.
While the weather in Houston has been cool I have been dealing with crazy ass stomach sickness. I have felt that as if my stomach was attacking me. The stomach cramps have made me feel sick and woozy. So I have gone to bed at outrageous times like 5 pm and waking up at 4. Granted there isn't really anything to do during the morning mainly because every T.V. channel thats on my DISH airs infomercials. Talk about nothing on TV. I saw from 4 to 6 an Infomercial on Booty Boogie Ballet and Billy Banks Tae Bo TRUST ME. I am one of those people, who sees a scam but I am also in need of losing weight. But I am not going to shill out 53 dollars a month to get the DVDS or Videos unless they are free. Tae Bo seems to be the onlyone that seems normal. The Yoga Boogie Booty Ballet seems like I can lose my waist line just by doing YOGA.
Here is something that I find totally s trange about these fitness aerobic programs, its the men they have on the show. All of them have one thing in common, NO Chest Hair and Ripping Pecs and the Women with Sexy Tummies. I began to wonder if its true, You work out for hours and hours and you lose your chest hair. Hell since moving to my apartment I haven't lost my chest hair or developed great abs but I am still trying. I don't have much chest hair anyway, but If I am going to be a tough healthy man I am wondering where or why don't these guys have any.
Remember, in the 70s and 60s when Chest Hair was considered cool. Now when people think Chesthair, they are repulsed, Why couldn't we still praise men with some chesthair.
I am totally right on this one. OK granted that Chesthair can sometimes be refered to a guy as a Bear but those with a small amount still treated like crap.
I am afraid of taking off my shirt for the fear of people looking at me like OH MY GOD HE HAS CHEST HAIR. SO I am writing this to say BE PROUD OF YOUR CHEST HAIR.
OK THAT LAST PART OF THE CHEST HAIR was random and pointless but I still feel uncomfortable with myself. I have terrible self esteem issues that I need to work out. I mean I look good from the head up but I still feel fat. But I am on a new diet to help lose the weight I need to. So far I have lost 5lbs. Its the combo of Excerise with Maxine and eating non sweets.
I still have a long road before I am back to 160 but I am happy with being under 200 for once. I have enjoyed a lower fat diet and eating healthy.
I have been drinking soy milk rather than 2% and eating one meal a day. If I am hungry I'll eat some veggies. Plus I am limiting the starches I eat.
I have read numerous books on proper weight loss but none of them help. I want to become a tall muscular not tall and flabby.
Well, I know thats isn't going to happen if I am staying indoors all day with Max. I know I can make a workout fun. Every morning I can do 70 SITUPS but I also know I have to quit smoking.
Trust me, I have tried over a hundred times but I have no will power. So I am going to try other alternatives. I am also trying to find ways to lose the weight without getting myself even sicker.

Well, I am at home tonight with my parents and wai ting on Dad's friend Joel to discuss my book. I am going to ask him if he can help me get the book published. I am a bit nervous but heck I think I can ask him without feeling stressed or uncomfortable.
This weekend is Beer Bike Weekend at School and I am torn on whether or not I should go. I mean part of me wants to go but the other is scared something terrible is going to happen. So I have made the decision that if I go make sure Maxine is safe at my parents place. Well I am debating on what to do.
I'll let you all know how everything went with Joel when I write back. I promise it won't be in 3 weeks but soon.
