You've heard it before but here we go again. I am going to try to get into Lightwave again. LOL I wish I could remember all the bells and whistles on this program but what the heck. I'll do the tutorials again so I can get back into the grove quicker.

Started again on my workout regime.....

I am currently going to the Rec Center at A&M for working out. The Top Level has a running/jogging/walking/passout Track. 4 1/2 times around is a mile. Second level has Stairmaster type machines, from Climbers to Eliptical Starmasters and Rowing Machines. First level has everything plus the Olympic Swimming Pool, Nautilis, Free wieghts, Basketball courts etc....

Yesterday I weighed in at 215lbs. I knew I was out of shape so I was looking for 4 1/2 laps to kill me off. Soooo I started my first lap walking. Then alternated to a jog on the second lap. For some reason I forgot that I was supposed to go only 4 1/2. I ended up going 10 laps for a little over 2 miles. Alternating between walking and jogging.... Final was 5 walked laps and 5 Jogged Laps. Impressive for a fat out of shape dude. LOL

I then went down to the second level and started in on the Eliptical Stairmaster and went for 30 minutes on Hill Climb Mode. At 16 minutes I was about to quit but stayed on it to the end. Total Calories burned was 487, at least that is what the machine said. LOL By looking at my shirt you would think I had burned off 200000 calories.

And again today as with all the times I have started working out. I ended up weighing 1/2 a lb more this morning. LOL Must be some water retention and muscle buildup.

I feel good though. One of the first times in a while that I felt good stretching out in bed before getting out to feed the cats. :)

I am finally going to work on upgrading my Movable Type to 3.2. I am doing a full backup so if things crash, at least I will have my old one to fall back to.

Wish me luck.

I have added a few things to the webpage.... You may have noticed... I added a couple new items to the side bars, one on each side. The first one is on the left side by my Gallery links, it is a Flickr Flash Image icon showing my latest pictures. I will be using this primarily to post pictures from my phone to the internet. All you need to do is just click on the image link and you will be taken to a new window with my Flickr Images.

The other Addon I put on my page is a viewing of which music I have listened to in the last 24hours. It is a plugin that looks at what I have listened to uploads it to lastfm.com and posts it there, this is just a plugin that I made to show you what is playing. Some of the songs will have green arrows next to them and it will play a sample of that music for you, which will close in 30 seconds once started. :)

Hope you enjoy the new additions.

Ok I went to the Gym with a friend and we did a simple workout since he hasn't worked out for years.

I didn't run laps as I wanted but did get almost a Mile in. What I did do was another 30 minutes on the stairmaster machine. 5 Minute cool down. Total Calroies burned was just over 500..... 507 to be exact, or what the machine said I burned off.

Today I plan on going back and doing 25 minutes or Stairmaster and then jogging as many laps as I can until my friend gets done.

Look for tomorrow's post on my progress.

Lost another lb from yesterdays workout and I haven't eaten all that bad today. Wish me luck. :)

Ok.... I get tired of this but it happens and I will keep up on it.

I worked out last night and pushed my endurance a little and it paid off in one big sweat ball... Me. :)

10 laps for over 2 miles. I walked a total of 3 1/2 laps and jogged 6 1/2. Laps 6,7 and laps 9,10 were jogged without stopping.

I then proceeded to the Eliptical Stairmaster. Went for 35 minutes straight. 30 of it was the programed plan and the last 5 minutes was the computer controled cooldown. 507calories burned.

Good news is I felt like I had accomplished something.... Bad news is what happens to me when ever I start working out. I loose a couple pounds the first week, then I gain a couple. I know didn't eat bad last night, but I did have a lot of water, so I am pretty sure it is that. We will see tomorrow morning when I weigh-in.

Didn't get a good workout yesterday. I was working out with a friend that doesn't have the stamina that I do when it comes to pushing the envelope yet. Sooooooo... I did 35 minutes on the Eliptical Stairmaster and 3 laps around yesterday.

Weighed in this morning the same weight as yesterday so that is a positive sign I guess. :)

I am hoping to make some good progress this weekend when I start hitting some of the Nautilus Machines this weekend. Keep your fingers crossed.

I am starting a new book which should help me out some. It is a lighting book that teaches me how to set up the different lighting so I can get more realistic shots in scenes and stuff. I should have some test shots posted today.

Ok I worked out again for the forth day in a row at the Rec Center.

Time to turn it up a notch....

I increased my jogging laps ratio. I went 10 laps and jogged 6 1/2 of them. Next time I jog it will be Jog 2 walk one, jog 3 walk one jog 3. Once I get that done I am now going to go down to the Gym area and start in on the Machines. I may end up walking home after that due to issues in how long a workout should last.

Sooo.. Weighed in today. Lost 1 lb. from 1.5 I gained the other day. Must be water retention after I get home and suck down the ice tea.

I got the full release of Lightwave 9.0 today from Newtek. I helped Beta the last version so I got to get in on this version. Cool. Now I just need to finish up the books I have on 8.0 and then learn 9.0 all over again since a lot has changed in the program. But it will be a couple months before anyone comes out with any tutorials on 9.0.

I also got my hands on ZBrush for Educational Users. Now all I need to do is get on some turorials to learn how to make cool looking things with it like I see all over the forums.

Worked out Yesterday..... Results I want Results.....

10 Laps... Walked 1, Jogged 3, Walked 1, Jogged 3, Walked 1/2 lap, Jogged 1 1/2 Laps. Soo total was Walked 2 1/2 laps, Jogged 7 1/2. Progressing nicely.

Started the Nautilus Machine workouts.... Yesterday I just started the Leg routine... Yes I have a ways to go. I am sure I will get there.. Worked 4 machines for my legs and one for my abs.

Weighed in this morning. Lost 2 lbs, from gaining 2 this weekend. Soooo.. Right now I am 1/2 a lb less than last week. Good progress.. :)

I didn't workout last night. Wasn't feeling the best.... but I did loose another lb last night. Wooohooooo!!!!

Today is workout night.

I am working on a tutorial on how to make a model of a BuckRogers type spacecraft.

Here are three different views of it. More will be posted throughout the day and week.

Here is another Update... Didn't get to work on it much but here it is. Three screen shots for you.

Here goes another update for the Spaceship I am working on. I included some Comic Book Shots so you will have a better idea of which way I am going with this thing. So far I am happy with the tutorial. It is at my skill level and there is a fair amount of explaining why things are done.

Here you go.

I am not quite happy with the windshield so I am going to work on that tomorrow. You should be happy with how the new one turns out.

Went yesterday... Made progress in working out not weight... :(

It isn't all bad news..

Weighed in today.. no gain, no loss.. hmmmm

Laps = 10 laps Walked 1st, Jogged 7, Walked 1, Jogged 1 = Walked 2 total, Jogged 8 Total.

Weigh Machines... Legs and Abs.

Here are a couple shots of the 50's style ship based off a Buck Rogers Style.

Updated

Here is a quick 3D Render, nothing fancy just a render with some quick surfaces on it.

Wash, Rinse, Repeat from yesterday. :)

Same mileage

Same workout plus some shoulder work.

Weight.. +.5 lbs. I know it is water gain cause I drank a lot when I got home last night. Good news is that I know it is working, because I can feel the soreness in my muscles from my legs to my stomach and shoulders. One more day then a day of rest.

Didn't work out last night cause my muscles were still hurting bad from the night before.

Didn't gain anything or loose anything. Will return on Saturday for the normal workout.

:)

Added some Intake and Exhaust ports to the ship. Now I just have to work on making the textures more realistic. That's where my other books come into play.

I didn't work out last week, but I did happen to loose the 3 lbs that have been hanging on for so long. This morning I weighed in at 210... That is 10lbs lost so far from when I arrvied back from vacation on June 12th.

More work to come but I think I have finally gotten my body to start using the stuff stored in my body for energy.
