Day 1 Week 1

Day 1: Running

Today, after work I went to the gym. Nothing special I did the bike and then I ran an hour total. Starting small and then building up gradually.

Currently, these are the are stats:
6 ft.
227 lbs.
30.8 BMI (As it stands anything above 30 is obese). Great, always something to look forward to...

I guess I can post each week's process, just to keep a log.

My plans for this week include a bit of some reading, video watching and execution. Not knowing anything of what it takes to effectively work out I have to read about weightlifting and running. Watch videos so that I don't mess up my body and execute at the gym.

I am going to try to do more cardio with some swimming in the mix. I miss my swimming days. Weightlifting and then some core training! I need to loose those love-handles that I hate.

Day 1 Week 1.

Movies to see

Watching the Oscars I've realized that I need to watch a lot of movies.

Recently at work, while at lunch some co-workers have said how young I am because I don't know about some movies. Im curious and I need that knowledge.

So far on the list:
Lawrence of Arabia
The Shawshank Redemption

Suggestions?

Maybe this will help with certain references that I miss due to the fact that I was born in another country.

With other edits, the list will grow!

A Working Caption

I'm writing yet another blog. Previously, I have written a blog that started off with my study abroad adventure in Granda, Spain during the fall of 2009. Let's just say that was less than successful. I had no time or interest nor the attention span to complete such a task. It fell through the cracks and with great promise, It feels like a huge failure. However, I hope that this blog will help me vindicate that feeling.


My goal is to improve my writing. My set goal is to go to Georgetown University for a Master's of Science in Foreign Service. To complete this goal I will simply try to write. Perfection comes from practice.

What will be included in this blog?

I will include anything that comes of interest to me. I will start by writing about my day, chronologizing things like everyone does. I will try my best to include other things: book, CD and movie reviews, my op-ed pieces about things that matter to me and about my travels.

I will try to improve the only way possible, by writing, editing, and re-editing.

Let the journey begin. Let the work lead me to my goal.
