Monthly Challenge - INSANITY - Day 1

Hey everyone,

I know, I know... what is INSANITY?  Considering I was suppose to do a monthly challenge by being a vegetarian?!  I was a vegetarian for a good week, then I though I wanted to be in shape for the summer season... Which will require a lot of working out and a lot of protein, so... I will continue on the vegetarian challenge another month.

INSANITY work out is a 60 day challenge that is more or less bootcamp style workout that incorporates MIT (Maximum Interval Training).  

To read more about INSANITY... CLICK HERE...

Yup, I will be blogging about my experience with INSANITY over the next 60 days... giving you updates hopefully at least twice a week (I'll be posting a picture - once a week!).  If you're thinking about starting this program and have any questions - let me know!?

The first day is a Fit Test... Here are my results as well as a picture of me - taken about an hour ago.

The test itself wasn't very hard - but if you're not use to doing bootcamp style workouts - it will be painful. The Fit test utilizes a lot of quads (squats, burpees, etc.)

Well thanks for reading and wish me luck!

HI to FL - Equestrian Weekend

Alright - this weekend was quite interesting, it started with a very nice dinner (which I will be blogging about tomorrow - involving way too much food)...

Most of my weekend was spent in a place with different scenery - Gainesville, Florida.  Don't get me wrong Gainesville is actually a big city - housing one of the biggest colleges in Florida, but there is also country surrounding this city - which is quite nice.

I needed a change of scenery and this was exactly what the doctor ordered before school starts today.  GASP!

Well, the pictures are in chronological order - the 3rd and 4th photo involve using a curry comb and a dandy brush - to get the dirt off of the horse.

Sorry so short, I am really quite exhausted.

TechTalk - Best Email Companion - Nudgemail!

Now that email is accessible everywhere - nearly on every device imaginable - one would think that there would be an easier way to set reminders.  

There are many methods out there - you can put a flag an email (outlook) or put a star (gmail)... You can move it to a folder.  However, none of these are time sensitive.  Suppose you receive an e-bill notification that is due at the end of the month and you want a reminder on the 15th.  You can flag it - but doesn't really say HEY - READ me on the 15th!

There is an easy solution. I've been using this service for almost 2 years now and I LOVE IT.  It is called - NUDGEMAIL.

Great part is - no applications to install - works on every device - phone, laptop, outlook.

All you have to do is tell nudgemail when you want the email re-sent to you.  Easy right?!  All you do is forward an email to when you want to read the email again.

Examples:

tomorrow@nudgemail.com, tuesday@nudgemail.com, 05152012@nudgemail.com, 4h@nudgemail.com

That's about it, nudgemail pushes the email back to you on the date you specified.  No more forgetting emails! just nudge it! =D

Try it out and let me know what you think!?

BlogTalk - FloriDUH

Conventional news is quite boring. Luckily for those interested in weird news from Florida, there is a blog - aptly entitled FloriDUH.

It's more interesting than most of the news you will find in the Tampa Bay Times.

Sorry so short - quite busy - will update on Monday!  I will be heading to Gainesville this weekend!

TechTalk - How to close your eBay account.

eBay is great - if you are a buyer.

eBay policies have been changing and changing to protect the buyer and screwing over the seller.  Unfortunately, the items that I sell aren't high-margin products and I will be cancelling my account.

So... How do you cancel an account!?

Once you submit your request - eBay will keep your account open for 180 days (another reason to HATE eBay - you will be called a non-registered user and you will not be able to buy or sell on eBay)

Before you can even file for a request - make sure you don't owe eBay anything.  If you've recently made a payment (such as seller fees) - you'll have to wait 30 days to file an account closure.

Alright, now we are ready to go!

First, visit (CLOSING YOUR ACCOUNT), then you'll be asked a couple of questions.

Unfortunately, I will not be able to close my account until June 1, 2012.

Ha! Will definitely update this then.

For now, you can visit http://fuckyouebay.com/ - its quite entertaining.
