welcome everyone Adam the woo here as
0:02
the recording of this it is Monday
0:04
January 15th
0:07
2024 mark this down I'm marking it down
0:10
mentally and in the video as the first
0:13
day for my new journey into better
0:18
habits better eating
0:21
habits workout habits Etc something I
0:24
have done many times in the past but do
0:27
we it again this time
0:30
I'm hoping crossing my fingers and feel
0:34
pretty good about the fact that now I
0:36
have a homestead I have the ability to
0:39
be
0:40
cooking and I have the ability which all
0:43
day it's getting later in the afternoon
0:45
early evening all day I have been
0:48
building and setting up a home gym now
0:52
I'm still going to be traveling
0:53
especially when spring starts to happen
0:56
rears its head I will be hitting the
0:58
road hopping on some planes going to
1:02
some places and in those situations
1:04
obviously staying in hotels be able to
1:07
you know utilize the gems but I think
1:10
it'd be a great idea and it's happening
1:13
because I've already started putting
1:14
stuff in the
1:16
garage to have something as soon as I
1:18
wake up each morning can go work out hit
1:23
the treadmill hit the weights no excuses
1:26
and if I do have excuses it's all on me
1:30
it's not like I have to commute over to
1:31
a gemm
1:33
so
1:34
today showcase off the what I've been
1:37
putting in the gym talk about a few
1:39
things and going to be cooking something
1:42
in the kitchen and I know nothing about
1:45
cooking I am a noob when it I mean 49
1:49
years old and I'm I mean I don't had to
1:51
use a microwave I don't had to use an
1:52
oven but that's about it cooking
1:54
something in a pot putting seasoning on
1:57
it this is going to be a learning curve
1:59
for me me pretty pathetic I know
2:02
but it's always good to start good
2:06
habits even later in life I'm inviting
2:08
you to join me today as I discuss some
2:11
things and talk about what I just what I
2:13
was just mentioning shall you I got to
2:15
say I'm pretty unhappy and discouraged
2:18
with the weight I have gained since my
2:21
thin by Dragon Con last
2:23
year and that's kind of be expected ever
2:25
since Hawaii I also got these put the
2:27
pots up here I got this walk I think I
2:28
might utilize this tonight
2:30
and well anyway let me continue what I
2:32
was saying definitely a little
2:34
disappointed but again it's a new
2:37
year and things are going to happen I'm
2:39
going to utilize the stove this evening
2:41
that has Mickey right here on the top
2:44
the stove since I moved into the new
2:45
Homestead has not been utilized and I
2:48
have ordered an air fryer which will be
2:51
here tomorrow listening to some
2:52
suggestions by some friends
2:55
acquaintances people I don't know
2:58
commenters
3:00
and a lot of people were suggesting
3:02
getting an air fryer so I'm I got an air
3:04
fryer that's going to fit right over
3:06
here I'm also on occasion going to get
3:09
some bananas and some strawberries and
3:11
use this neutr bullet which I've had for
3:12
a couple years which I hardly ever use I
3:14
also purchased this bad boy look at this
3:17
cutting
3:19
board now I think tonight I'm just going
3:21
to maybe get a couple bags
3:23
of different veggies and cook them in
3:28
the little walk right over here but once
3:31
the air air fryer comes in I can start
3:34
utilizing that and my goal is to just
3:37
start eating healthy at home now when I
3:40
go out I might get something that's a
3:42
cheat day here and there like maybe like
3:44
once a week cheat day but really I want
3:45
to stick to my guns on this now last
3:47
year when I dropped all the weight
3:48
before the convention of Dragon Con I
3:51
got down to 216 I believe it was wasn't
3:54
214 216 218 it was just below 220 but I
3:58
think it was 26 16 lb I am way heavier
4:02
than that now I am not as heavy as I was
4:05
when I started the thin by Dragon Con
4:08
last year but I'm getting up there so
4:10
it's time to kind of twist that around
4:13
reverse it and I am not going to be
4:15
hopping on a scale on a daily basis I'm
4:17
not even going to get on a scale today I
4:20
am just going to see the progress of how
4:22
this goes on over the next month or two
4:25
and when I feel down physically when I
4:27
can see myself in the mirror or on
4:29
camera
4:30
when I think I'm at about where I was
4:32
around the 216 218 220 mark then I'll
4:36
jump on a scale and go from there but I
4:38
want to be way less than the 216 by my
4:42
birthday which is August 10th of
4:45
2024 the thin by Dragon Con was last
4:48
year this is fit by 50 all right so this
4:52
is my garage it's going to be a little
4:53
echoey in here at the moment and it's
4:56
already starting to get kind of the sun
4:58
is starting to go down outside so you're
5:00
not getting a light lot of light in from
5:02
the windows I think I'm probably going
5:04
to add in a couple more lights in here I
5:06
might even add in a big fan or two now I
5:09
do have a ceiling fan that you can see
5:12
is circling right over there washer and
5:13
dryer is over in that corner as well I
5:16
have my gy E2 in here also as well and I
5:21
think I'm going to add in a maybe a big
5:24
box fan or something of that nature now
5:26
right now it's not very it's not very
5:28
warm in Florida
5:30
so it's not too unbearable during the
5:32
day in fact today I was in here all day
5:33
putting the stuff together I didn't even
5:35
like really break a sweat it was like
5:37
nice and cool and good thing about my
5:39
place it's like uh just it seems like
5:42
it's not going to be incredibly hot in
5:45
here cuz it hasn't been hot in here yet
5:47
but I'll keep you posted on that when
5:49
June and July hits and spring hits and
5:51
going into to Summer and all that this
5:53
will be a sweltering Inferno of Hades I
5:57
am
5:58
sure but that is not that big of an
6:00
issue because I will just be in shorts
6:03
in a t-shirt sometimes maybe not even in
6:05
a t-shirt soon as I wake up I'll hop in
6:08
here to the garage each day I will
6:10
either be doing some cardio on the
6:12
treadmill 45 minutes to an hour on the
6:14
treadmill or and or lifting some weights
6:18
which I have some weights over here and
6:19
I'm going to go up to Dick sporty Goods
6:21
a little bit later traffic on I4
6:23
westbound is pretty brutal right now so
6:26
I'm waiting for that to kind of downsize
6:27
a little bit before I end up head over
6:29
there but I'm going to add on a few
6:31
other things onto what I got but take a
6:34
look I also added and built these metal
6:37
cabinets over in here this garage was
6:38
completely different when I moved in so
6:41
I've added a few things removed a few
6:42
things threw a few things out gave some
6:44
things away and now I've added the
6:46
cabinets over there which I have my I
6:49
have my magnets on I'm no longer putting
6:51
magnets on the fridge I'm going to have
6:52
them here in the garage this weight
6:54
bench delivered put the bar together put
6:56
the weights together not a lot of weight
6:58
on here not a lot of heaviness now over
7:00
time I'm not really that strong I'm not
7:02
really in shape so it's going to take
7:04
some time to build this up right now
7:06
it's only got like 40 lb total like 20
7:09
lb on each side but that's enough to
7:12
just kind of you know work the chest a
7:14
little bit things like that you know for
7:16
now and then I'll add on as time goes on
7:19
again I think I'm going to go to the
7:20
sporting good store they close at 9:00
7:22
and get there after the traffic kind of
7:23
dies down maybe add in a couple other
7:25
things I also purchased these for the
7:27
floor that are kind of cushiony
7:29
right over here but this will you know
7:31
I'll do a few reps on this maybe three
7:33
sets of 12 or three sets of 15 on this
7:35
each day and as time goes on I can buy
7:38
more weights add on to that as well so
7:40
it's just basically not going to be a
7:42
race this is going to be a just a kind
7:44
of a slow process so the brand that I
7:47
got of the
7:49
particular treadmill that I got is
7:51
called sound run you can see it right
7:54
there sound run and I like it because I
7:57
can connect Bluetooth up to it so when I
8:00
was out here working earlier putting all
8:02
this together you know tightening the
8:04
screws getting the nuts and bolts get it
8:07
all together I am not a handyman at all
8:10
so it it took me a while it was really
8:13
I'm say it was stressful but it took a
8:15
while not only to put all these together
8:17
which I've been putting these together
8:18
over the last series of days but today I
8:21
put this together I put the treadmill
8:23
together and I put this which I have
8:25
wanted one of these to own one of these
8:29
for a heck of a long time this is like
8:31
my favorite thing I think at the gym and
8:35
I don't really like going to the gym I
8:37
don't like getting in a vehicle
8:39
commuting to a gym waiting for a machine
8:41
to be ready and working out in front of
8:43
people I just don't like it I'll do it
8:46
it's a necessity sometimes you have to I
8:49
I'm pretty self-motivated and I think
8:51
this is going to be better for me
8:52
knowing it's always here at any time of
8:54
night it's not going to close I always
8:57
have it at my disposal
9:00
I'm I'm kind of excited about this the
9:02
light just went off I turn the light
9:03
back on for now I just have these 10 lb
9:05
weights 20 lb weights probably should
9:08
get some 15s in there as well and I
9:10
might even get some fives just to do
9:12
some some smaller stuff like like arm
9:16
lifts and pull their arms out to the
9:17
side different different exercise and
9:18
things like that as far as curls again
9:21
I'm not like some he man I'm not AR I'm
9:23
not on so I don't need a lot of weight I
9:26
just want to I want to get a get a
9:28
little fitter
9:29
by doing this get repetitions more reps
9:33
and kind of drop some weight and get
9:35
toned that way hopefully by Spring and
9:37
by summer I got how many I wonder how
9:39
many days it is to August 10th now on
9:41
August 10th I'm going to be in
9:42
California on my birthday on the 10th I
9:44
will be a d23 Expo they don't call it
9:47
Expo anymore they call it d23 so I'm
9:49
going to be there and I should be in
9:52
probably the best shape of my life if I
9:54
could stick to
9:56
this on my birthday on my 50th by 50
9:59
it'll be a good it'll be a good pivotal
10:02
time frame to kind of be in SoCal at a
10:05
really good event I love also this is
10:07
all my Disney pens the pass holder pens
10:09
I haven't placed a display now so on the
10:11
fridge there was no more room on my
10:13
fridge at my apartment I didn't want to
10:15
put these on the fridge I have here cuz
10:17
it just was looking a little clutter
10:19
there was no more room I was stopping to
10:21
even buy any because I didn't want to
10:22
buy any more cuz I had no room for them
10:24
but now I have plenty of room so I can
10:27
keep getting the passholder pin when
10:28
they come out all the weird wacky ones
10:31
anniversary pens things like that I got
10:34
the entire one over here I can start
10:36
filling up I've also got the sides I got
10:39
the lower portions down here I got the
10:42
side over here I can fill up and if I
10:46
feel like it if I get the hankering I
10:48
can order another one of these and put
10:49
another one of these together and make
10:50
it more uniform where it matches up with
10:53
the top of that and that will just this
10:55
will be like a magnet Haven of sorts
10:59
got all the places that I've traveled
11:01
that I bought magnets at at least ones
11:03
that I haven't lost or kind of fell by
11:06
the wayside or couldn't find these are
11:08
the ones here they just got a real caade
11:11
of magnets through
11:13
here kind of scattered all around places
11:15
I've stayed roadside attractions I've
11:18
been to little memories that I've
11:22
had in my lifetime and in my YouTube
11:25
career travel
11:27
career but I like this I like the fact
11:30
that I have magnets there's different
11:32
there's different ways you can display
11:34
magnets but I really like just like a
11:35
metal cabinet so that's what I did right
11:38
there so I also bought these these
11:40
little I might put more of these around
11:42
that are cushioning now I tested all
11:44
this stuff out today but I didn't really
11:45
do a hard workout I was on the treadmill
11:47
for like 5 minutes just testing it out
11:49
see how it all works see if the
11:50
elevation goes up and down how the
11:52
speeds work how the Bluetooth works now
11:55
there is no TV on there so I can't
11:58
connect to like Bluetooth with the TV
12:00
off my phone or like tether to that and
12:03
have that that screen have it on there
12:05
but I'm thinking maybe at some point I
12:07
could even put a TV and maybe have it up
12:10
there or maybe just listen to podcast I
12:12
don't know that that could that I got to
12:14
think about that down the road but I
12:16
want to spend a lot of time in here and
12:17
again I don't mind the fact that I know
12:19
it's going to be hot in the summertime
12:21
because you're working out you're
12:23
sweating anyway I'll have a fan on me
12:25
and if I could just Crush an hour each
12:27
morning or at night I wait till night
12:30
does not necessarily on a time frame I
12:32
just want to have it here at my you know
12:35
at my at uh what do you call it at my
12:38
disposal almost said exposal my disposal
12:41
I think it's a a positive positive thing
12:44
you would it really was crazy how long
12:46
it took me to put this stupid thing
12:47
together but I got it put together ready
12:49
to rock the treadmill was not that
12:53
difficult to put together that was
12:54
probably the easier of all of them this
12:56
thing took a while CU was all kind of
12:57
like screws nothing and bolts you got to
12:59
like take the wrenches and get it all
13:02
set up and you got to make sure it's
13:04
secure so you put your arms here and
13:07
then you put one on the either side and
13:08
then you do the leg lift I do I don't
13:11
have the best back in the world so when
13:13
I'm doing crunches and sit-ups it's it
13:15
really does hurt my back this does not
13:17
hurt my back at all so this is why I
13:19
always loved a machine like this at the
13:22
gym you rust your back up against here
13:24
you Nestle your elbows right on right on
13:27
here on either side and you do the leg
13:29
lifts and it works your abs and your
13:31
legs and your core and all that so This
13:34
Love This Love This machine right here
13:37
so there it is that's that's the inside
13:40
of the garage and the gym is going to be
13:42
a work in progress this is probably
13:44
going to get a little more expansive but
13:46
these are basically the the core units
13:48
that I'm going to be using oh yeah over
13:49
the corner I still have my bike right
13:51
over here and I still have my scooter as
13:53
well so a lot of room in a lot of room
13:55
in the garage which I love I love having
13:57
a garage and utilizing it I'm trying to
14:00
I'm trying over time to utilize every
14:03
space in this place for something just
14:06
want to have like this little this
14:08
little compound of fun not the most
14:11
exciting place that there is but it was
14:15
going to serve a purpose in here again
14:17
it's very echoey I might work out with
14:19
the garage door open I don't I'm not
14:21
sure if it gets too warm in here I could
14:23
open the garage door but I'm liking this
14:26
so far again this is a work massive work
14:30
in progress right here let me get
14:39
the I don't know why I'm holding this
14:39
probably to see maybe if I could get a
14:41
good
14:42
thumbnail again I'm going to end up
14:44
heading down to Dick Sport Goods over in
14:46
Highway 27 in Davenport see what else I
14:49
can add into this maybe even get a few
14:51
more of the free weights and maybe get
14:54
one of those Diamond triangle things to
14:56
put the weights on so they're not right
14:58
there on the Shelf maybe add some more
15:00
weights onto here and then just see what
15:03
else I can find just sort of try to do a
15:06
multitude of daily workouts nothing too
15:09
intense but if I can do it on the
15:11
regular I think it'll make a it'll make
15:13
a big difference and this physique which
15:18
has gone by the wayside this is a train
15:20
rep right now that needs to get back on
15:22
track has gone off the rails it's been
15:24
derailed and I got to this is going to
15:27
be good for getting it back on track get
15:28
it back on the rail got to reel it back
15:30
in all right I'm also going to be
15:32
posting updates on my Instagram my
15:34
Instagram is Adam the woo atw so didn't
15:36
really do anything too
15:39
intense
15:41
today well I mean I put this together I
15:43
mean that right felt like a workout
15:44
itself and then I just tested the stuff
15:47
out to make sure it was structurally
15:48
sound could hold my weight did a few
15:51
reps but nothing too crazy tomorrow
15:53
morning start hitting it hard on the
15:55

Bay Ray games from Tampa to St Pete all
17:47
right got a couple items I ended up
17:49
getting some 15 lb weights some 5 lb
17:51
weights that I didn't have the free
17:52
weights and I also got some of the ones
17:55
for the barbell that go for the for the
17:57
weight bench I got a couple 25s right
18:01
there also got some workout shorts cuz I
18:04
was starting to get kind of low on those
18:05
and then also one thing that you'll see
18:09
should go do a lot of garage sailing
18:11
maybe the most popular item that you'll
18:13
ever find in a garage sale is one of
18:15
these ab workout AB wheel things but
18:18
this is kind of like a modified version
18:19
of that I fig that'd be kind of good too
18:21
I can do those leg lift things which are
18:23
good for me it's easier to doing
18:25
crunches and then I can also do the the
18:27
ab wheel each day
18:28
and I should definitely uh definitely
18:30
see some some atoning going
18:34
on over over time hopefully with with
18:37
everything I got going on I made it back
18:39
over to Celebration and this new
18:41
Public's opened about four or five
18:42
months ago I have not been in it I
18:44
usually will go over to the one by the
18:46
water tower on 192 side this is on the
18:49
other side this is on the world Drive
18:51
side and I4 side but love the art deco
18:55
look of this I've been wanting to go in
18:56
here for a while so I figur this is
18:57
appropriate occas
18:59
and I did a little countdown clock I
19:00
kind of searched online it's like 207
19:03
days according to that till my birthday
19:05
August
19:06
10th or 50th so let's just call it about
19:10
200 days till the start of
19:13
August I should be able to lose 50 lbs
19:15
by then I don't know what I'm at now but
19:17
I should be able to get down to 200 lb
19:20
and be fit be in shape be looking good
19:23
being in
19:24
Slender and got some muscle tone that's
19:28
my goal 200 by by August
19:31
1st or around that time period I'm be at
19:34
200 pounds and
19:37
Sleek 200 200 days to accomplish let's
19:41
say 50 lb probably it's probably more
19:42
like 35 lb or 40 lb but yeah all right
19:45
here's what I got so I got a salad which
19:48
is obviously prepackaged up it's got the
19:50
BS head
19:51
bold chef salad but I got these I'm
19:54
going to cook up in the in the little
19:56
pan walk thing
19:58

20:03

20:10
tomorrow I got some I got a couple baked
20:12

20:14
baked potato and then I got this here
20:16

20:20
