Vols tix

We gave our tickets for the game tonight to a friend. He is taking his daughter to her first vols game. Pretty awesome!

Operation get healthy - day 5

Been doing shin workouts throughout the day yesterday. This morning I tried the insanity warm up but my shins starting to hurt. So I rode the bike 5 miles again. The weight seems to be falling off though. 30 pounds to go, ha!

Mya Rawlings!

Our good friends Clif and Molly had their beautiful little girl last night! They had a full day of labor but everyone is good and healthy. I look forward to meeting her!

It has arrived!

This is the last official picture taken with my iPhone 4.

Nice day for me today! Went to Nama for lunch, headed home after lunch to wait for my packages. Only shady moment of the day was that as I approached our road the FedEx dude was driving by. I thought, "Damn it! I missed it." Assuming I had to sign for it. Then the question arose. Should I be that nutty guy that follows the FedEx dude to get a item that just can't wait (even though I had been for 3 weeks)? Well I decided against it. Pulled into the driveway and BAM! There she was sitting at the front door, my brand new iPhone 4S!

I also had a package coming UPS the same day. I thought it'd be funny for them both to show up at the same time and pull an old western style shooting out to get me my package first. But alias, they were about 2 hours apart.

I also had a delivery from USPS, the trifecta!

Insanity - day 4 no insanity

So during yerterday's Insanity workout I started getting pretty bad shin splints. They bothered me the rest of the day unfortunately. Insanity is pretty high impact so it looks like I'll need to work my way into it. Sets me back a little but its ok. I need the work out anyways.


I really need to work on these and get rid of them. So to help with them I have ordered 2 on these compression sleeves. I have read quite a bit online about people saying they really help, so fingers crossed.



Today I rode the stationary bike for 5 miles split it with pushups and squats.

Insane insanity.

Dropping the pounds but shin splints getting worse.

Started working out.... for real this time!

Started Insanity yesterday. It truly is insane. I started at 238 pounds. That's a day after eating and drinking horribly. Today I was already down 2 pounds! I'm working out in the mornings, seems to work better for me and it's great to have it over with for the day. I'm really looking forward to the outcome and definitely looking forward to fitting in all my clothes I can't quite rock right now.

RIP Marco Simoncelli

Marco passed away yesterday after a horrible wreck involving Colin Edwards and Rossi. When we went to the GP race at Indy in 08 I took that picture above as we passed him walking into the pits. He was on a 250 at the time and made that jump up to Moto GP soon after. So sad.

Fixing the sunroof

So yesterday I won't to take a few pics of the Evo with the new lip after the sun settled behind the trees. While backing out of the garage I hit the tilt on the sunroof, got nothing. I messed with it a bit and got it to open but it popped and cracked like popcorn. I never got it to shut. Today I was up and working on it around 9am.

I followed some ideas I found on the forum but they didn't work. But 2 of the 3 screws holding in the motor where missing. So I decided to remove the headliner and check things out.

I ended up having to hand crank it shut. I removed all the screws and added loctite. Everything works great now. Hope it stays that way. Man was it a pain removing and reinstalling the headliner. Never again!

New lip in place

While pulling her out of the garage for these pics the sunroof proceed to break. Now I have to pull the headliner and fix the motor as its a pretty common tread according to evom. Apparently 2 of the 3 screws just fall out over time, neat!

Icebears game 1

Dad and I went to game 1 of the Icebears season. Jimmy gave me some tickets and even showed up. Dad and I had a great time and had time to talk and catch up. We stayed in our box/seats until 5mins left in the game!

Bears won too!!

My Saturday - Vols and Sat sessions

LFA spotted in Knoxville

A friend of mine spotted a Lexus LFA yesterday and was nice enough to share. I love this car. Looks, power and tech, tips the scales all around

Busy Saturday!

Got up with intentions to put my new rexpeed carbon fiber lip on but as you can see its cracked. Strange because the bubble wrap and box weren't damaged so it leads me to believe it was damaged before shipment. I have an email I to them for a replacement.

After we headed over to the Greene's to see my little cousin and her huge and awesome little son Cooper.

After we went to lunch then the store. Once home and unpacked Mary headed off to the UT game and I started rearranging the living room. Didn't like it at first but it's growing on me. We'll see what Mary says.

Next is my beginnings of healthy eating. Carrots and broccoli but non lowfat ranch, but with a sprite zero and vodka. WAY less calories than beer! Next is sirloin steak and spinach leafs with lowfat honey mustard.

iPhone 4S...preoredered!

Travis and I met up with Ben today to put in our order for the latest and greatest iphone. I opted for a white one this time. Really looking forward to it. Can't wait to have Siri in my life!

Started Complete Nutrition!

We had a little lunch and learn a few weeks ago at DMGx with Ethan from Complete Nutrition. I usually don't buy into "gimmicky" pitches with lines like "lose 20 pounds in 2 months." But this was different. Ethan ran through the products and was very informative and nice. He knew all the answers and wasn't a cut around the corners type, which I liked.

The thing that sold me in is that complete nutrition as a company has almost doubled in the last year and their advertising costs were cut in half once their products saturated the market. To me that's their best selling point. Proves the products work! Most obviously due to the repeat customers.

I believe that says more than enough for the products. Especially since they are pretty pricey. Travis and I both started this yesterday. We both already feel awesome and look

Also taking this. A complete vitamin

Also doing a herbal cleanse.

It's a 10 day program 10 pills a day. No it's not a make up run to the bathroom type cleanse. "Detoxification is the removal of potentially toxic substances from the body. HERBAL CLEANSE is a 10-day total detox plan to cleanse your system and allow vital nutrients to be better absorbed."

Evo's new wing!

Football Sunday!

Titans v. Browns and Lions v. Cowboys!

Titans killed it again! 31-13 over the browns in Cleveland.

Wedding at crescent bend

Mary and I went to a wedding at crescent bend lastnight and it was sort of strange since they basically did everything the way we did. It was pretty cool to watch.
