today's adventure begins in my garage as
0:03
the recording of this it is the last day
0:06
of March
0:08
20125 Monday March
0:12
31st tomorrow is April 1st April
0:16
fools so call it and I tomorrow I'm not
0:20
going to do it tonight but tomorrow
0:23
going to get back into the gym my little
0:25
home gym that I built here in the
0:28
garage I'm only going to be able to use
0:30
it for about 5 days but I'm going to go
0:32
pretty hard for those 5 days cuz after
0:35
that I'm going to be leaving five or six
0:37
days give or take a day and then I'm
0:39
going to be boarding a plane going to
0:41
California for one
0:43
day just a one day layover and then
0:45
getting on a plane to go somewhere very
0:48
far away and I'm not sure in my
0:50
international travels if I'll be hitting
0:53
the gem at the hotels but I'm going to
0:55
try to keep it up I've said this a
0:57
million times
0:58
before if there's one thing in life I
1:00
really fail at it is sticking to my
1:03
promises to
1:04
myself when it comes to getting on the
1:07
treadmill and hitting the weights and
1:08
doing the gym and eating better and all
1:10
that but going to give it another whirl
1:13
and I think in
1:16
addition we not an addition but to help
1:18
motivate me I've added a TV out here in
1:22
the garage I have been on my phone you
1:25
know I watch movies and things like that
1:27
on my phone I have a little clip here
1:31
that I did have on a cabinet that I
1:33
removed this right here holds my cell
1:37
phone and I removed the cabinet and my
1:40
friend dune buggy
1:42
Jim you've seen in a few of the videos
1:45
he helped me Mount this TV up here 40in
1:47
TV and I have the streaming services and
1:49
all that so I'm going to get back on my
1:52
idea of watching all the Disney theater
1:55
version animated Classics that were
1:57
released in theaters in a row I think
2:00
I've gotten through 13 tomorrow I'm
2:02
going to start on number 14 I think
2:03
there's 63 out right now so I got a long
2:06
way to go
2:11
but my thought process now this is kind
2:11
of a long-winded intro but my thought
2:13
process now is so before I would do an
2:16
hour and a half I do an hour and 15
2:18
minutes an hour and 20 minutes an hour
2:19
and a half on the treadmill watching
2:21
each of those Disney films and I could
2:24
do it but after that was over after that
2:26
90 minutes or 85 minutes on the
2:28
treadmill I would be so tired and worn
2:32
out and sweaty and nasty that I had no
2:35
motivation you know to do this do the
2:37
leg crunches and use this machine or go
2:41
over here and use the weight
2:45
bench so I was really kind of just a
2:47
little too winded not using it so now my
2:51
goal is to maybe do like a half hour 45
2:53
minutes on the treadmill and then the
2:57
other 45 minutes while the TV is is
2:59
playing the rest of the movie and I
3:01
could see
3:02
it utilize these again that's I mean if
3:07
I'm going to be motivated I can't be
3:08
saying that that's the only reason I'd
3:10
be motivated but I think it would be
3:11
very helpful to
3:13
myself
3:15
to to have the TV on up there and you
3:19
know once I finish over time going
3:21
through all those those movies I can
3:23
start on the Pixar movies and then I
3:24
could just pick different series of
3:26
films to get through but I've always
3:28
wanted to get through all those those
3:29
Disney movie so I'm going to get back on
3:31
track with that when I'm home a lot of
3:33
international travel coming up so might
3:36
have to pull the old phone out and do
3:37
them do them in the in the hotels but
3:40
I'm going to try and I have an in goal
3:42
in mind two years ago I had I had thin
3:47
by Dragon Con I got pretty skinny by
3:50
Dragon Con two years ago and then last
3:52
year I had fit by 50 before August 10th
3:54
and I got pretty
3:55
thin I probably should have kept it
3:58
going but I went off the rails for
4:00
Halloween season into Christmas season
4:01
and all that so this one is going to be
4:04
dedicated around the anniversary of
4:07
Disneyland for their 70th anniversary on
4:10
July
4:11
17th I'm going to go get some
4:14
coffee welcome everyone Adam the woo
4:17
here I'm inviting you yes you to join me
4:21
as I go get coffee probably go to Publix
4:24
talk about some things do some
4:27
stuff I'm inviting you to join me
4:30
shall you it's already a little after
4:32
6:00 p.m. was busy most of the day doing
4:35
stuff around the
4:37
house planning Out Future trips looking
4:41
a couple more flights for the next few
4:43
months got a got a lot coming up a lot
4:47
going on from here on out the rest of
4:49
the year I think probably the first
4:51
couple months of the year were the
4:53
Mellow months it's about to get it's
4:55
about to get
4:57
wacky I mean I did a lot the first few
5:00
months but the April and on is going to
5:02
be very very hectic procured a parking
5:04
spot definitely not as many people down
5:07
here as there was over the weekend for
5:09
the car
5:10
show I get some Starbucks mobile ordered
5:13
it I liked that they wrote the word yum
5:15
with 3
5:16
m this cup made a yummy
5:19
sound made a yummy sound see my shadow
5:28
there check and see if the scale that I
5:28
have which I did not use at all last
5:30
year I had it back when I had my
5:31
apartment you know over a year and a
5:32
half ago you weigh myself every once in
5:35
a while when I get on these like kind of
5:37
weight loss extreme trying to drop some
5:39
weight challenges and last year I
5:43
decided I wasn't going to do that I was
5:44
just going to base it on how I felt and
5:45
how I looked in the mirror but I think
5:47
that might have been part of the
5:48
downfall I think the fact that I wasn't
5:50
I I think to help me get motivated
5:52
obviously I told you about the TV thing
5:53
that's just kind of an added Thing For
5:56
Less excuses to get out of the garage
5:57
but then also seeing myself in and and
6:00
weighing myself on a semi-regular basis
6:03
I think it probably be good and this
6:04
will probably be my last latte for a
6:07
while get back to the regular coffee
6:10
just cuz lattes have a lot of stuff in
6:12
it doesn't probably need to be
6:15
consumed get back on the no lattes no
6:19
desserts and no fried foods it worked
6:22
well for me last year worked really well
6:25
and then I and then I went off the went
6:27
off the rails but that was like My
6:30
Prerogative and it always seems to
6:33
work
6:35
tonight who knows what I'm going to get
6:37
tonight who know I'll probably go to
6:39
Publix get some get my usual from Publix
6:42
which is usually salad chickpeas ctsh
6:49
cheese which I guess doesn't fall
6:49
underneath the fried or dessert
6:52
category there's a cyber truck over
6:55
there in the 10-minute limit parking
7:03
I've also heard I am again just looking
7:03
at me you know I'm not a I'm not the
7:05
picture of health or an expert when it
7:06
comes to Fitness in any way shape or
7:09
form but I've
7:12
heard that cardio is great if you don't
7:14
do cardio but I think I already do a lot
7:17
of cardio I do cardio all the time
7:18
walking around I walk a lot of steps
7:21
every day so I feel like just breaking
7:23
that sweat on the treadmill and doing
7:26
you know 20 30 minutes of cardio maybe
7:27
even less than that if it was like a
7:29
really elevated or
7:31
inclined then hit the weights cuz they
7:34
say I don't know who they is but I've
7:37
heard they have
7:40
said those who know more than I do about
7:42
Fitness that you're going to burn more
7:44
calories by lifting weights throughout
7:47
the whole day for cardio you only burn
7:50
it when you are doing said cardio so
7:54
we'll give it a try we'll see how we'll
7:55
see how it goes over the over the months
7:57
we'll see what happens and basically
8:00
what my thought is I'm not going to be
8:01
filming a a video tomorrow of you know
8:04
what I'm doing in the gym however I will
8:06
be putting the putting stories up on
8:09
Instagram so if you would like to follow
8:11
along with my Instagram stories my
8:12
Instagram handle is Adam the woo atw
8:16
Adam the woo atw and I'll also put you
8:21
know the review of the Disney movies I'm
8:23
be doing number 14 tomorrow which I
8:27
believe I believe it might be Peter pan
8:29
I got to look at my list I think Peter
8:31
Pan might be
8:33
tomorrow so I'll do half hour on the
8:35
treadmill 45 minutes on the treadmill
8:38
and then a solid minute 30 minutes of
8:39
doing some weight reps and doing the the
8:42
leg crunches doing some stretches which
8:44
I probably I feel like a pretzel all the
8:47
time so being in there having I just I
8:50
could glance up at the TV hear the TV
8:52
like I said as when I had this the phone
8:54
it was just so small when I got off the
8:57
treadmill I couldn't see what was going
8:59
on so I kind of lost the excitement of
9:01
trying to watch that so I would just
9:03
stay on the treadmill the whole time it
9:04
was over and then pretty much about to
9:06
pass out after that so I kind of want to
9:09
kind of want to change it up a bit let's
9:11
see what happens July 17th 2025 will be
9:13
the 70th yes that's right the
9:17
70th anniversary of Walt original Magic
9:20
Kingdom in Anaheim California Disneyland
9:24
I've stated this before and I will state
9:26
it
9:27
again 2015 was the greatest Disney year
9:31
of my entire life I moved to California
9:34
in February
9:36
2015 lived at the orange circle well few
9:39
blocks away from the orange
9:41
circle and it was just such a great
9:44
year around the same time the 70th is
9:47
starting around
9:50
mayishan starts in May May 16th is the
9:53
kickoff and I am planning on
9:56
going to the Disneyland Resort for the
9:58
kickoff of the I'm going to be there for
10:00
a couple days going to fly in and going
10:01
to fly out this challenge I'm doing is
10:04
for the official day which is July
10:08
17th 2025 which is the exact 70th
10:12
anniversary of Disneyland so there's the
10:14
kickoff of the 70 celebrations within
10:17
the official day of July 17th that is
10:19
when the Walt animatronic appears and
10:22
Rears his head for the first time first
10:24
ever Walt animatronic in the history of
10:27
ever of Walt Disney and that is going to
10:29
be happening over in the Great Moments
10:31
with Mr Lincoln
10:33
Theater so I would like to be thinner
10:37
than I am now I like to weigh less feel
10:40
better I have not been feeling great the
10:43
last couple months whenever I pack
10:45
pounds on I start not feeling
10:49
good and it just my body always just
10:51
tells me what the heck are you doing man
10:54
so again for the 9,000th time I know I
10:58
get it
11:00
I know how I am
11:06
but going to do it again
11:06
2025 from working retail over the years
11:09
stocking shelves getting up and down off
11:11
my knees doing things like that throwing
11:13
feed big bags of feed 50 lb 100lb bags
11:16
of feed when I worked at the feed store
11:18
groceries unloading trucks things like
11:20
that I have a bad back my knees are not
11:23
so great I got a little bike wreck where
11:24
the knee still hurts from back then when
11:26
I got in that bike wreck so I when I
11:30
start putting on pounds I start to feel
11:31
it a little bit notice those ailments as
11:34
much when I'm you know 30 lb or more
11:37
lighter than I am right
11:40
now so that was kind of what got me
11:42
thinking and then I'm like you know it's
11:43
like it's always springtime I'm always
11:45
at my heaviest and then I get excited
11:48
and I start making changes and then you
11:50
know usually by my birthday or you know
11:52
in September into into haunt season the
11:55
start of haunt season I'm usually doing
11:57
pretty good and I again part for the
12:00
course you know you can you can you can
12:02
set your watch by my
12:12
habits and my decisions and
12:12
my positive aspects and my negative as
12:16
you negative aspects you can set a watch
12:19
by my promises and fail promises I don't
12:21
even really have a clever saying for
12:22
this I don't know if I'm going to be
12:25
well I guess you know technically if I
12:26
do drop all the weight before a August
12:29
10th which is my 51st birthday I guess
12:31
the fit by 50 still kind of will be cuz
12:33
I'll still will be fif fit in my 50 in
12:37
my 50 I don't know that's a stretch my
12:40
game plan tonight is just to go to
12:41
Publix get some food I'm going to go
12:44
over to the 192 Publix get some food
12:46
take it home going to watch the Rays
12:48
game I think tonight they're playing the
12:49
Pirates the Rays have won two out of
12:51
three games as I'm filming this
12:53
obviously when this video is up in the
12:54
morning I'll know the outcome of the
12:56
Pirates game because I'm going to watch
12:57
the whole game at my house I've had to
13:00
sign up for FanDuel Sports Network even
13:03
though I do subscribe and pay for the
13:05
MLB app and I also subscribe to the fubo
13:08
or fobo fubo app I pay for that I pay
13:11
for mmob app just so I can watch Ray
13:14
games but now they have switched from B
13:16
Sports to this
13:18
new new app or new whatever it is the
13:24
sports network I had to sign up for that
13:27
so I now I'm paying a monthly fee on
13:30
that now because even on fubo and M
13:34
Mo they wouldn't let me watch it they
13:36
were they were blackouts now when I'm on
13:38
the road once I'm out of Florida and I'm
13:40
traveling like if I'm going to be in
13:41
other countries or I'm going to be in
13:42
other states I could easily watch it but
13:45
they they put a blackout on it and it's
13:47
like I'm not even I'm not even near the
13:49
stadium here I'm not even near the
13:51
stadium so I had it's a it's a whole
13:53
it's a whole challenge it's a whole
13:55
monetary challenge to try to be able to
13:57
watch the rise but I love the and I love
13:59
watching it so they're doing pretty good
14:01
though they're uh they're not doing so
14:02
bad they're two and one right now going
14:04
into sight and I feel like it's going to
14:06
be a good season you know in fact I did
14:08
contemplate going to the game tonight
14:11
because this will be the first night
14:13
game at Stein Brer the first three games
14:15
were Day Games 4 p.m. time 1:00 p.m.
14:18
noon this is a 700 p.m. first pitch so
14:20
it'll be a night game I didn't want to
14:22
sit in the
14:23
traffic yeah first pitch is in 35
14:26
minutes 7:05 it's 6:31 now it's still
14:31
82°
14:45
now also
14:45
really not looking forward to the
14:47
Summers here I probably won't be around
14:50
much of the summer I mean here and there
14:52
not that I'm around much here anyway
14:59
but I really got to get I really got to
14:59
get in the habit of using gems
15:02
at the hotels I stay at because the
15:05
hotels I stay at all have
15:12
gems and then also traveling you always
15:12
want to try food in different areas the
15:13
whole win and row moment is something I
15:15
need to get get it rid of because you
15:17
know I'm like excited about food I like
15:20
I just I love to eat I hate I hate that
15:22
I love to eat be a good idea too to
15:25
actually watch the baseball games while
15:28
I was on the treadmill but I want to
15:29
again I want to get through the I want
15:31
to get through all those Disney one it's
15:32
really hard for me to watch movies take
15:35
the time to watch movie I have to force
15:36
myself sometimes so being on the
15:39
treadmill is a is a big Advantage
15:41
sometimes people will say oh you should
15:42
just go out running you know out in the
15:44
in the open the problem with that is or
15:48
not the not problem with that is the
15:50
advantage of being on a treadmill is I
15:53
can watch stuff I've never seen before
15:54
that's in front of my face everyone
15:56
wants to know and by everyone I mean
15:59
if there's water in this I made the
16:01
statement that there is no water in this
16:05
and I wouldn't say the agreement with
16:08
what I said was
16:14
100% the only reason I don't think there
16:14
is is because about a year and a half
16:16
ago or more maybe a year
16:19
ago they had this dismantle they were
16:21
repainting it and fixing it and it was
16:23
just down on the ground and I realized I
16:25
don't think there's any way there could
16:26
be water in that
16:40
prop because if there is water in here
16:40
what would it be used for okay let's
16:42
look at this look at
16:44
this if water really went underneath
16:47
there would there be concrete around it
16:50
to use as a
16:52
stabilizer I'm just asking I don't I
16:55
don't know for
16:56
sure but I do not believe there is a
17:00
hole in that
17:02
concrete because you would have to put
17:04
this down and Whittle that out to get
17:07
the water to go up underneath
17:16
there and look at this look at this so
17:16
if you look
17:17
closely you can see some light coming
17:20
through these slats of the
17:23
wood wouldn't the water be pouring out
17:26
of there
17:28
again I don't know for certain I'm just
17:32
showing I'm just showing my thoughts
17:35
reason I go to the 192 publs as opposed
17:38
to the one that was just built recently
17:41
just opened you know in the last year or
17:44
so over by World dve by the art deco
17:46
7-Eleven and Mickey D's over near the
17:49
entrance to Island village there's two
17:51
Publix's this is technically in
17:53
celebration but it is on the 192
18:01
side the reason is because I'm
18:01
technically not supposed to drive on the
18:03
road that is marked 40 mph that goes
18:06
over to the other Publix that's the only
18:09
Road in town I cannot take many Marge on
18:11
however I have seen quite a few people
18:13
driving their golf carts on it so I'm
18:16
kind of wondering maybe it's just one of
18:17
those things that's overlooked maybe
18:19
it's not
18:21
enforced I've driven it on the sidewalk
18:24
before but the problem with that is it's
18:26
a very populated sidewalk way more
18:29
populated at certain times of the day
18:31
going to towards Island village and that
18:33
Publix than the ones here on one92 that
18:37
I go take to
18:38
Oldtown so according to the stipulations
18:41
and according to the guidelines of
18:42
Florida if a sidewalk is more than 5 ft
18:46
you can
18:48
take a golf cart on it and I measured
18:52
this and this is like 8 8 and 1/2 10 ft
18:54
this is this is this is like over 8 ft
18:56
wide
18:59
so that's why you could take a golf
19:07
cart so maybe I don't maybe I won't
19:07
maybe because there's more people
19:11
walking on that road or walking on the
19:13
sidewalk going towards the other
19:16
Publix maybe I maybe I cuz other people
19:19
have done
19:20
it doesn't make it right but I got to I
19:23
got to dig a Little Deeper when it comes
19:25
into
19:27
the how celebration feels about driving
19:30
a golf cart over to the other new
19:34
Publix because if you bought a house in
19:36
Island village which I I looked at some
19:38
houses in Island village I don't live in
19:39
Island village I live closer to downtown
19:42
if you bought a house in Island village
19:44
and decided to buy which is the newest
19:46
version or the newest extension of
19:48
Celebration and you bought a golf cart
19:50
like I did technically wouldn't be
19:52
allowed to drive to downtown in
19:55
it so maybe there's an exception
19:59
I'm doing a lot of
20:01
pondering all right going to get some
20:03
food go watch some
20:04
baseball have a relaxing Eve and get up
20:07
in the morning and Crush some weights in
20:10
the
20:15
treadmill now usually like if there's
20:16
water on the floor in a public so put a
20:17
cone down and a wet floor side they've
20:20
extended it out here onto the sidewalk
20:21
they put a cone here just so everyone
20:22
knows there a little puddle I like that
20:26
definitely like the exterior the other
20:28
Publix's way more than this one the
20:30
other one is awesome this one's
20:32
like for the course for me a usual
20:35
Publix's
20:36
go-to
20:39
rump pre-made salad from the deli
20:42
cottage
20:44
cheese
20:46
chickpeas some hummus already got chips
20:49
at home and I also got a can of soup cuz
20:51
I got some also got some Arizona green
20:54
tea I got some leftover Saltines so got
20:58
got a can of soup for that
21:01
too all right baseball
21:03
time I love going to live games love it
21:06
but I also really enjoy watching on
21:10
TV Dwayne stats Brian Anderson great TV
21:19
commentators I don't know which one I
21:19
enjoy more I like being there
21:23
live but I also like watching on TV it's
21:25
two totally different experiences also
21:28
we just think about the Rays even though
21:30
they don't have like a big draw to the
21:34
stadiums back when they had Tropicana
21:37
Field now the stadium they're playing at
21:39
Stein Brer the Yankees are that's their
21:41
farm team stadium that they're renting
21:43
out to the race for $15 million this
21:45
year it only holds about 11,000 people
21:48
or less so most of those games are going
21:50
to be pretty full but evidently they
21:52
have a huge TV
21:55
audience they do really well on TV
21:59
from what I've heard who knows yeah one
22:02
thing's for sure when you get a little
22:03
older and your joints aren't doing as
22:05
good as they were when you were you know
22:07
a spring
22:09
chicken I'm also heavier than I was when
22:11
I was a spring chicken you really start
22:13
to notice it
22:14
more fact the last few
22:18
days I stepped in a hole the other day
22:20
like 3 or 4 days ago four days ago I was
22:23
out doing some thrift
22:24
shopping and I stepped in a hole that I
22:26
didn't see on the ground the next day I
22:28
get up and my ankle is like throbbing
22:32
hurting and it's been really sensitive
22:35
since then it's doing okay
22:38
now but I think it wasn't just
22:40
necessarily me falling in the little
22:42
small very small hole I mean it was only
22:44
like a few inches deep it twisted my
22:46
ankle just a little bit but I think if I
22:49
was if I was much lighter those in
22:51
instances would not happen as
22:58
often I don't have the strongest ankles
22:58
and the best
23:00
knees but I don't notice any of the I
23:02
don't notice any of the pain or the
23:05
ailments when I'm
23:12
thin I never have heartburn when I'm
23:12
thin acid reflux when I'm thin not that
23:14
I've had acid reflex or heartburn in a
23:16
while but it's been kind of hinting that
23:19
it's going to be rearing its head again
23:21
soon
23:22
so kind of at that point
23:25
where need to need to make a change and
23:27
not go the other direction
23:29
cuz the other direction will not end
23:31
well and if my math is correct it's 108
23:34
days so tomorrow will be 107 days until
23:37
July 17th so I have a week of a buffer
23:40
over the 100 day kind of challenge thing
23:44
but I have a week to kind of prepare
23:46
myself and do it but I got an extra week
23:49
on top of 100 days till till the day I'm
23:52
not sure my mental state of goals and
23:55
being driven to do things is based on
23:57
mathematical numbers
23:59
and having dates dates that I can put as
24:02
a pinpointed number to get
24:09
to I'm not really sure why my brain
24:09
ticks that way but it works for me if I
24:13
don't have
24:14
that that I just don't I'm not as
24:16
motivated so I always have to have
24:18
something like
24:20
that not just with you know trying to
24:22
drop a couple pounds but just in general
24:24
with any kind of goal I mean perfect
24:26
example was doing all 30 current MLB
24:29
stadiums which I finished took me three
24:31
years to do there was no reason for me
24:33
to do that but I was so motivated that
24:35
really drove a lot of my travel over the
24:37
last few years and I just knocked off my
24:39
31st Stadium by seeing the Rays at Stein
24:41
Brunner during the regular MLB season I
24:44
haven't seen a gator in a while in any
24:46
of the Lakes haven't been looking super
24:49
hard but Lake Reinhardt I haven't this
24:50
little retention Pond next to the golf
25:03
I know bird I've stated this before year
25:03
after
25:10
year I get
25:10
it doesn't mean you can't try again
25:12
though right Bird you trying to
25:15
fly oh you're uh you just took a little
25:18
swim I think that bird is drying his
25:21
wings
25:22
off that's one of those birds that flies
25:25
but also can swim really really well and
25:27
sticks his head out of the water
25:28
sometimes you think it's a snake but
25:29
it's just the bird sticking its little
25:31
beak
25:34
up so tomorrow if I have batteries on
25:37
the scale I will in the beginning of
25:38
tomorrow's video I'll show how much I
25:41
weigh I'll make get a piece of paper and
25:45
I will put the lines across it put the
25:47
dates put the numbers of how many days
25:49
it is the 107 days and I'll weigh myself
25:52
occasionally not every day cuz there's
25:54
going to be times going be out of town
25:55
for a couple weeks at a time
25:58
don't be don't be alarm bird it's just a
26:06
truck and if you feel like following
26:06
Along on Instagram with my
26:08
stories be hitting some weights hitting
26:12
treadmill watching some Disney
26:18
films I think tomorrow's number 14 I
26:21
think it's Peter Pan but don't quot me
26:22
on
26:24
that that's going to do it for today
26:26
I'll see you in the next video the Vlog
26:30

26:34
