getting back into exercising after being sick

Scott Neumyer — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 20:02:10 +0000

Since I started getting healthier on April 6th, I’d never missed more than two days in a row of exercise. That is, until last week when I came down with some wacky stomach bug. That thing put me out of commission for five days! I was itching to get back to running, but part of me was dreading it as well.

When I got back from my run today, I decided to make a quick video. Check it out.

the social network

I didn’t have much interest in The Social Network until I heard that David Fincher would be directing it. Even with him on board, I was still kind of lukewarm about it.

Then Sony released the first trailer and I have to admit being completely won over. It’s a hell of an understated, exciting trailer.

This second one is great too:

My good buddy, Andrew Auseon, just released his brand new book into the world and it’s hella good! The reviews have all been raves, people!

Go buy and read Freak Magnet now!

That’s all.

dropping the pounds

I still can’t believe that I was almost 300 pounds at one point.

I started on my journey to getting healthier on 4/6/10. Since then, I’ve lost over twenty pounds and I just feel so much better overall.

Here’s a picture I took near the beginning of my weight loss (it’s post workout so I’m sweaty):

And here’s a picture (also post workout) from the other day:

Twenty pounds doesn’t seem like that much when I say it to myself, but looking at these pictures, you can definitely see at least a bit of a difference.

It feels great! Now I just need to keep it up. I still have another fifty pounds to lose!

…which means…

THE MIDDLE GRADE NOVEL IS DONE!!!

Me = a very happy and very tired boy right now.

Thanks to Dave White, Lauren Barnholdt, Andrew Auseon, Keri Mikulski, and all my friends for kicking my butt to get this thing FINISHED!

Man, it feels so good.

Happy Mother’s Day

Since I’ve been banned from Twitter by Dave White until my middle grade novel is done (about 4,000 words or so away!), I figured I’d just throw a quick blog post up to say…

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY to all the fantastic moms out there!!!

A super special Happy Mother’s Day to my mom, my mother-in-law, and my awesome wife (it’s her very first Mother’s Day!).

Love you ladies!
