#*$% pain!

sorry for not having an update yesterday, to make up for it i've got a small announcement. i ordered the Insanity workout set, for those of you who don't know it's a workout program similar to P90X except it takes no equipment and only 60 days.
so what does this have to do with my blog? well i'll still have my normal updates full of random usefulness, but i'll also be including updates on how Insanity is going. statistically you are more likely to follow through with a diet or workout plan if you tell people about it, so i figure if i tell the whole internet i might actually follow through.

and now, a helpful fact.
you just fell down and scraped your knee. what's your first reaction?
"FUCK!"
that's right! most of us swear, but there is actually a good reason for this. swearing substantially increases pain tolerance. people who swear are able to withstand worse pain at longer intervals than people who do not. so the next time you stub your toe and you don't have any aspirin, just start cursing everything.

  1. I can relate to that, but I did it in reverse. I yelled fuck and then punched the most solid piece of wall I've ever seen (fuck concrete, eh?). I broke my hand but it didn't hurt!

  3. Swearing increases pain tolerance? No wonder my ex complained about my swearing too much...

  4. I think swearing just distracts you from the pain..which works out perfectly anyway. Is your workout/program a HIIT? program.. I've been using tabata..and it is very effective, but very tiring and painful in a short time. my lower back has been sore for 2 days now from my last run..and I have to workout again tonight.. dreading it. Anyway keep the updates coming.

  5. yes it is HIIT, the reason i'm out of shape is because a few months ago i tore a ligament in my knee. it's doing much better, i'll see how well it goes, i'm not supposed to jump on it... which might be a problem.

  6. Getting in shape really sucks, I wish i had more motivation to work out. Im tired of my lifestyle seems like I eat because I'm depressed and then that makes me eat more, endless vicious cycle :(
