Week 51 Weight: 227
Original Weight: 229

When I last posted my weigh-in 7 weeks ago I was at around 230. Since then I got up to 237. For the last couple weeks, I have really been in a butt-kicking mood. When I get in these moods, I usually go pretty hardcore.

So the last 2-3 weeks, I’ve been doing exceptionally well. I have seen progressive gains in weight training and have since begun doing HIIT as was mentioned by Colin’s weigh-in.

Tonight at the gym, tried some SuperSet training and then ran home from the gym. I would estimate this was about a mile and half with a pretty nice hill to top it off. While this is nothing special, this is after a week that has already seen a HIIT training session, a hardcore weight training workout, and 2 hours of basketball.

So, I’ve been trying to increase my calories to increase my muscle development. I am going to try to be extremely active for the summer. I’m excited to see the progress I make over the summer and hopefully I’ll keep it up beyond that, unlike last time when I wasted about 8 months to a year’s worth of training.

Colin wrote an overview of Skitch (and offered some invites) and it’s pretty spot on.

I know he was yelling in my ear about it since SXSW and talking about how it’s the best thing since sliced bread. I didn’t understand how he could be so amped about an app that takes screenshots and camera snaps.

After playing around with Skitch for awhile, I can completely see why he and everybody else is so excited about it. His overview says everything that I would say, perhaps more eloquently than I would, so check it out and check out Skitch.

I was recently privileged enough to be a “special guest” on ViddlerTV. Colin had me on to discuss how the company I work for, Next Step Systems, used it for one a housing symposium.

He also had some fun at my expense. Not cool, not cool at all.

The jab

The man, the myth, the legend Gary Vaynerchuk of Wine Library TV fame recently took a jab at the Eagles and, by extension, myself in an interview conducted by Colin.

What will the JETS record be this year now that you’ve gone to the draft?

Gary: “16-0 with an easy win over the EAGLES;) honestly the 1st 2 games are brutal but a 10-6 is possible for sure!”

The counter-punch

Couldn’t I just let this offense slide? My Eagle’s pride prevents me from doing so.

So, I just wanted to take a little guess about what the final score of this year’s Eagles vs. Jets game will be.

Final Score: 10-0

Oh wait, I confused my guess with the Eagles all-time record versus the Jets. Let me repeat that, 10-0. For Gary, and all of the other forgetful, pitiable Jet fans, let me just run through a little Eagles vs. Jets history lesson.

Regular Season Series: Eagles Lead 7-0
Eagles Record At New York Jets: 3-0
Last Meeting: October 26, 2003 — Eagles, 24-17

The wager

If by a miracle bigger than the parting of the Red Sea, the Jets somehow get lucky enough to pull out a victory over the far superior Eagles, I will post a video that will make the embarrassment of my “To the Left” video be put to shame. Heck, I’ll even wear some Jet’s gear while I do it.

Final Thoughts

Regardless of Gary’s abominable slight, I am still a Vayniac and a proud one at that. For all those who have never checked out Gary’s vlog, even though my retinas are continually damaged by the sight of a bunch of disturbing Jet’s merch, it comes with my highest of recommendations.
