welcome everyone out of the woo here as
0:02
a recording of this tuesday august 16th
0:05
2022 an already warm
0:08
central florida morning i am not
0:10
drinking a piping high caffeinated
0:12
beverage i'm drinking a water that i
0:14
picked up from the same starbucks where
0:15
i usually get a coffee but decided with
0:17
the water today in fact
0:19
i'm going to try to stop drinking as
0:21
much coffee i'm still going to drink
0:23
probably coffee maybe two coffees a day
0:26
but i feel like i was getting in the
0:27
habit of every single day
0:29
starting off with a coffee but then i
0:31
started
0:32
upgrading to lattes vanilla latte
0:34
hazelnut latte which i still will
0:36
consume but i really want to
0:38
you know not
0:39
constantly be in the habit of drinking
0:41
that many calories first thing in the
0:43
morning which leads me to my next point
0:44
i have been slacking
0:46
more of that in a second inviting you to
0:48
join me on this little talk and
0:50
throughout the course of my day i gotta
0:52
run some errands
0:53
shall you
0:58
and i'm not going to chug this and crush
0:58
the water bottle because i'm going to
0:59
savor the flavor for now
1:01
and i have to admit that i have not
1:04
attained nor come anywhere close
1:07
to the goal that i had originally set at
1:09
the beginning of the year i was doing
1:11
really good at the beginning of the year
1:12
on my weight loss in fact i'm definitely
1:15
not as heavy
1:16
at my heaviest point ever i'm nowhere
1:18
near my heaviest point in my life but i
1:20
thought by this point two weeks
1:23
give or take a day before
1:25
i fly out to atlanta for dragon con
1:28
i was going to be the healthiest and
1:30
most fit i have ever been in probably
1:32
the last decade i have not accomplished
1:34
that goal and i feel unhappy about that
1:37
and i want to do something about that
1:39
now so i'm going to get back on track
1:41
with that now i originally had thought
1:44
that i would be able to not write down
1:47
my goals and not really kind of
1:49
coordinate my efforts as far as seeing
1:51
them visually on a piece of paper like i
1:53
had done in the past but i was wrong so
1:55
among a few other things that i'm going
1:56
to do today purchasing a scale again i
1:59
did this when i was in anaheim a couple
2:01
years ago bought a scale for 100 days
2:04
plus 50 pounds in 100 days so i can see
2:07
how much i had lost each day it kept me
2:09
motivated i got on the scale each
2:11
morning i
2:13
not only saw it with my own eyes but i
2:14
also put it out into the world and it
2:16
really helped keep me motivated i
2:17
thought i could get away with not doing
2:19
that the problem is
2:21
too many cheap days start to creep
2:24
into your you know into your conscious
2:26
into your brain
2:27
when you're not holding yourself
2:29
accountable also
2:31
my camera the canon g7x that i have
2:33
right now has some problems with the
2:34
lens the lens is not closing there is
2:36
some dirt
2:37
and build up on the inside lens that i
2:39
cannot get to and a little kind of a
2:41
little speck that's on there that i
2:43
cannot clean off the top so i'm going to
2:45
purchase a new camera today i have to go
2:47
over to orlando colonial drive best buy
2:49
they have one in stock so i'm gonna head
2:51
over there as well there's a squirrel
2:53
okay the squirrel you know it's funny
2:55
when you try to film a squirrel they
2:56
always go around the back side of the
2:58
tree up there you go hello squirrel
3:00
i was just talking about how you're
3:01
going around not the backside of water
3:02
but the back side of the tree
3:10
see there he goes
3:10
okay so that's what i'm gonna do
3:11
squirrel
3:18
you know it's it's always kind of cruddy
3:18
when you don't
3:20
when you don't accomplish what you think
3:22
you're going to do and you just kind of
3:23
start to slack a little bit i haven't
3:25
been slacking too terribly bad i mean
3:27
i've been doing pretty good
3:30
i haven't been going completely off the
3:31
rails but i have not been sticking
3:34
to what i thought i was gonna do
3:36
so for the next two weeks i'm gonna go
3:38
pretty hard on eating really really
3:40
really well
3:41
i have a gym membership here in town i'm
3:43
gonna start going to the gym each
3:44
afternoon each night i'm trying to miss
3:46
a day i'm going to get in the force of
3:48
that habit and not miss a day on that
3:50
and not
3:51
miss a day on eating well
3:54
so that's my plan
3:56
and i know it might sound redundant
3:58
because it sounds redundant to me as
4:00
well but i think the worst thing than
4:02
redundancy making a statement that i
4:04
have done you know over the last five or
4:06
ten years of my life and sometimes it
4:08
works sometimes it doesn't
4:10
but i think worse than redundancy saying
4:12
i'm going to do something again
4:13
attempting to do something again
4:15
i think the worst thing would be not to
4:17
even try and just give up on it so
4:19
that's where i'm at with this so i just
4:21
want to make that statement
4:23
let me get my car now and drive over to
4:26
orlando
4:27
this theater is still not open
4:29
which is uh which is also kind of a
4:31
bummer
4:32
so back to the future here back in 2008
4:34
a reunion it was the first time i met
4:36
christopher lloyd i met bob gale
4:39
and i started to get my back to the
4:41
future poster side that claudia wells
4:43
who played jennifer parker in part one
4:45
they had the back to the future
4:47
screening across the
4:48
it was a back to future reunion
4:50
as far as i could tell it was probably
4:52
one of the first times that chris lloyd
4:54
did an appearance and signed autographs
4:56
for back to the future and i got his
4:58
autograph inside there
5:01
i kind of wish this theater was back
5:02
open again
5:03
maybe one day there's always rumors and
5:05
murmurings around town so see what
5:07
happens
5:09
all right there's a fountain over there
5:10
always
5:12
effervescently flowing
5:13
yes the sights and sounds of downtown
5:16
celebration
5:17
very quaint and peaceful place to live
5:19
really happy that i moved here
5:32
gotta get rid of the belly
5:32
and the whole thing
5:42
one thing that's always neat about you
5:42
know we're not neat but you know when
5:44
you're filming yourself from this angle
5:46
kind of hold the camera like that make
5:48
yourself look a little more presentable
5:50
but when you see the full body angle it
5:52
really kind of puts thing into
5:53
perspective so i kind of wanted to
5:55
document this too as well just so over
5:56
time i can maybe see the changes so
5:58
basically let's put the camera down here
6:23
but i will give myself a little credit i
6:23
am definitely not as heavy as i as i
6:25
once was but not where i want to be
6:28
got to get rid of this
6:30
got to get rid of the belly and just
6:32
feel feel better i like to feel better
6:35
too
6:36
i think they caught i don't know if
6:37
coffee's like a bad thing
6:39
i think sometimes when you drink way too
6:40
much caffeine throughout the course of
6:41
the day it might not be the healthiest
6:43
thing either
6:45
i'm no doctor
7:05
all right success they had one left
7:05
besides the display model
7:07
and i ended up getting it
7:09
again went with the
7:10
powershot g7x mark ii
7:13
i've been thinking about maybe getting
7:15
the mark three and there's a couple
7:16
other
7:17
cameras that other people i know use
7:18
that
7:19
i'm always looking at and thinking maybe
7:21
i should get one of those but i just
7:22
stick with the old reliable
7:25
i like how small this is
7:27
you know you can
7:29
you can either have it on the little
7:30
manfrotto tripod that i use or i want to
7:32
put it in my pocket take it off the
7:33
little mini tripod
7:35
put it in my pocket
7:41
the mark ii the mark iii
7:41
has a camera not camera but a
7:45
microphone input but there's really
7:46
nowhere to mount the microphone so it
7:48
would be kind of gawky so i haven't gone
7:49
with the mark iii plus i i've heard the
7:51
mark iii the focus is even worse than
7:53
the mark ii that would be the one
7:54
negative thing i think about the mark ii
7:56
is you really gotta kind of calibrate it
7:59
and dial it in when you're focusing so
8:01
if i went from here up to here it takes
8:03
a moment to focus i have to kind of tap
8:04
on the screen to to get it sometimes
8:06
i'll edit that out sometimes i'll leave
8:08
it in but that would be my only real
8:10
complaint about the about the mark too
8:11
but
8:12
i like it i go through about one of
8:13
these
8:14
a year give or take you know give or
8:16
take a few months when you use something
8:18
every single day
8:20
it takes a lot of wear and tear and i'm
8:22
really rough on the camera
8:23
you know bounces around a lot throw it
8:25
in the seat take pick it back up take it
8:27
on attractions take it on rides things
8:30
like that i drop it a lot
8:31
it gets a lot of usage so i'm averaging
8:34
about you know one camera a year based
8:36
on the price that's about 50 a month
8:39
give or take
8:40
you know if you take 50 times the 12. it
8:43
kind of comes to about the price of what
8:45
a new one of these is and i have a few
8:48
backups so you know case one i forget
8:50
one i always if i go on a road trip i'll
8:52
i'll take an extra one so i have quite a
8:54
few of these
8:55
you know yeah i'll go i go through them
8:58
pretty often i still have quite a few of
9:01
in my possession but i have a new one
9:02
now
9:03
there it is a little unboxing brand new
9:07
nice and clean untouched
9:10
well i took it out of the box i took it
9:11
out of the box that's been touched from
9:12
there but
9:14
and then obviously when they put it in
9:15
the box
9:17
at the factory comes with the charger
9:20
also comes with an extra battery so i
9:22
got quite a few of those
9:23
i go through these things pretty quick
9:25
too i always try to buy
9:26
extra batteries and sometimes when i
9:28
take three or four into a park or
9:30
somewhere i'll
9:31
i've lost them a couple times so it's
9:33
always good to have extra batteries i do
9:34
have a lot of extra batteries
9:36
so i go through these things pretty
9:38
often while it seems like a lot of money
9:39
it is a lot of money
9:41
but when you kind of boil it down to
9:44
filming every day
9:45
you know it's like a dollar or two a day
9:47
into the kit you know i put aside for
9:49
the camera
9:51
each year to get a new camera
9:52
so it really kind of makes sense i
9:54
figure about a buck buck 50 a day to go
9:56
towards a new camera at the end of every
9:58
year
10:00
again approximately
10:02
every year sometimes it's a year and a
10:03
half sometimes it's eight months
10:06
yeah i really like to i really like this
10:07
one but maybe one day i'll change it up
10:09
and get something different and just a
10:10
couple blocks away
10:11
was a dick's sporting goods i ended up
10:14
getting a few pair of shorts i figured
10:16
if i'm gonna go to the gym more
10:18
frequently probably should get some more
10:20
comfortable workout clothes so got a
10:22
few pair of those down in there
10:25
here at
10:27
sporting goods place
10:28
on colonial drive
10:33
next to the best buy that i got my
10:33
camera
10:35
yeah i got three pairs of shorts a
10:36
little more comfortable than what i have
10:37
on now
10:38
if i'm going to be going more frequently
10:41
why not maybe get me maybe get me in the
10:43
mood a little more and you don't want to
10:45
mesh with these shorts don't mesh
10:48
mash well it's a bad joke because
10:52
they're made of mesh
10:54
dcg are the brand names
10:56
got some gray ones some green ones
10:58
and also some lighter gray
11:01
i guess these are like a darker gray but
11:03
a lighter gray adidas there i got plenty
11:05
of t-shirts i don't need t-shirts
11:12
ah my ash
11:12
i guess if sean connery was saying
11:15
don't mess with something
11:16
don't mash yeah
11:20
all right continue the commute over to a
11:22
super target i didn't say super target
11:24
just a target
11:26
but i believe it's a super target
11:28
because i have a grocery store and
11:29
everything inside of it
11:30
kind of modeled after the old super
11:32
walmarts
11:34
i ended up getting a digital scale here
11:36
i've had one of these before
11:38
but no longer have one this one's up to
11:40
400 pounds so i should i'm under 400
11:43
pounds i should be able to weigh myself
11:45
when i get back to my place
11:47
take this out of the box weigh myself
11:48
and
11:49
jot down on a piece of paper each day
11:51
what i weigh
11:52
at the beginning of every day and this
11:54
is going to be not the beginning of the
11:55
day but
11:56
you know starting tomorrow by myself in
11:58
the morning but i'll weigh myself today
11:59
and start the little clipboard and the
12:01
paper off and
12:03
i also ended up getting six pack of
12:05
water that should make more me a little
12:07
more intelligent
12:09
i'll take one of these with me to the
12:10
gym today so i have a little hydration
12:13
keep in my fridge and then also
12:14
something for my fridge
12:16
yes
12:17
they now sell this on the case
12:20
you know it's pretty tasty water but the
12:22
packaging of it
12:23
is pretty neat it looks almost kind of
12:25
evil
12:27
an evil petting zoo and evil water in
12:30
evil sparkling water
12:32
it almost looks like an alcoholic
12:34
beverage but it's not
12:35
it's water
12:37
got a case of it i'll have this in my
12:38
fridge too boy getting kind of a workout
12:40
holding this thing up
12:45
all right moving on
12:45
i'm going to go home weigh myself now
12:46
there are a couple different options for
12:48
gyms in this area one
12:51
i have a membership too
12:53
one of the other ones is a free gem it's
12:55
a little smaller but the bigger one is
12:57
over here at advent health so starting
12:59
off with this blank piece of paper this
13:00
blank slate if you will
13:03
and this is going to be i'm going to
13:04
etch each morning
13:06
obviously it's a little later in the day
13:07
but each morning i'm going to weigh
13:08
myself
13:10
put the date
13:11
so i'm going to weigh myself now put it
13:12
right next to the august 16th date
13:15
and then as time goes on this paper will
13:16
fill up now when i go out of town
13:18
for most of september
13:21
i'm obviously not going to have to i'm
13:22
not going to have the scale with me
13:24
scales down here on the floor and i have
13:26
it on the
13:28
on the tile or on the
13:30
the floor itself and not a cushiony
13:32
surface because i realized
13:34
that kind of threw off my original
13:36
weight so now i think i have it set
13:37
because i did have it on here and it
13:39
just didn't something was not right it
13:41
was saying i weighed way less than i did
13:42
and then i went to the other room where
13:44
there's also another cushiony surface
13:46
and it was considerably less weight so i
13:49
think you have to have the scale also
13:51
i've taken my shoes off and i'm wearing
13:53
the shorts that i got over here from the
13:57
from the sporting goods store
13:59
so this says 254.8
14:02
but when i do it again it's going to be
14:03
a little bit off so i don't know if this
14:05
is the best scale for me
14:12
okay 254.8 okay maybe we'll go with that
14:12
let me try it one more time third time's
14:13
a charm third time
14:16
for
14:17
the charm
14:23
okay
14:23
254.8 that's what i'm going with
14:26
254.8 so that's what i'm going to write
14:28
down
14:30
i don't know if i like to scale 100 not
14:32
because it's not what i want away
14:34
obviously i want to weigh less than that
14:36
but i'm not sure if this scale is
14:37
completely accurate every time i get on
14:39
it
14:40
but time will tell i'm going to go with
14:41
254. i'll give it one i'll give it a
14:43
fourth try
14:44
wait a few minutes get on it see if it
14:46
cuts up 254.8 again or somewhere in that
14:48
one shift the feet around all right 250
14:51
4.8
14:52
i'm going with 254 okay now it says
14:54
253.8 i'm going with 254.8 and i'm going
14:57
to put a little question mark after it
15:00
so we'll just see over time you know
15:01
after a week or two
15:03
kind of what i'm sitting at
15:05
yeah i don't know
15:06
254.8 sounds pretty realistic
15:10
even though i said 253.8 when i put it
15:12
on the mat down here
15:14
it like popped up 20 pounds lighter than
15:16
that so i think
15:18
the sensors on the bottom of that
15:21
is what
15:22
ends up weighing you so it needs to be
15:23
on a flat surface a non-cushiony surface
15:27
but again it's not really all about the
15:29
numbers specifically but i do want to
15:30
have this written down
15:32
just so i can i can see some progress it
15:35
helps keep me accountable if that makes
15:36
sense
15:37
all right 254.8 is what i'm starting off
15:39
on august 16th
15:41
not good utilizing my phone now
15:44
didn't bring my bring my camera in here
15:46
got my water here well i've already
15:47
drank half of it but
15:49

15:50
last people
15:52
on earth to still use a corded
15:54
headphone
15:56
jack that goes into my phone
15:58

16:34
that's kind of why i chose to go to this
16:35
one today but i'll pop over to the other
16:37
one at certain times of day sometimes
16:39
morning sometimes evenings i'm gonna try
16:41
to stay on track each day
16:55
there's also one set so on the other
16:55
side of this there are some
16:58
treadmills on both sides there's
17:00
treadmills all through here so there's
17:01
never any you're never going to be in
17:03
need for
17:04
you know any kind of cardio equipment on
17:06
the other side of this
17:07
kind of wondering if you can see magic
17:08
king number epcot fireworks of course
17:10
you know it's afternoon now so it's not
17:12
going to happen but maybe one day when
17:14
i'm up here at night i wonder if i'd be
17:15
able to see him it's not going to be
17:17
something i film all the time i'm
17:18
showing it today but you know from now
17:20

17:22
be posting stuff on my instagram
17:23
adamthewoo atw on instagram
17:26

17:27
or tomorrow but
17:29
as time goes on you'll see my little
17:31
workout potion in here and the other gym
17:34
and when i travel hotel gyms as well i
17:36
wanna do this every day i'm gonna i'm
17:38
gonna get back to my
17:39
get back to my my
17:41
everyday routine now there is an
17:43
elevator you can take but i figure i'm
17:44
going to a gym why not take the stairs
17:47
at the three flights
17:48
to the top floor just makes sense right
17:51
all right
17:52
did
17:53
65 66 minutes over an hour
17:57
on the treadmill about a
17:58
two percent incline
18:00
and a 3.9 speed
18:02
first stay back at it so didn't go too
18:04
too incredibly hard on it but worked up
18:06
a little bit of a sweat
18:12
yeah i'm gonna try to keep this habit
18:12
going
18:13
i do my best
18:14
eating better
18:16
more cardio
18:17
eating way less a lot more cardio and
18:20
just even better stuff
18:22
and at some point i think i want to
18:23
start hitting up some of the pools
18:25
around celebration
18:27
as well look at the clouds up here
18:29
celebration has a number of pools i can
18:31
use with my residence card that i got a
18:33
few months ago
18:34
there's also
18:36
inside
18:37
this hospital
18:38
inside the gym i was just uh
18:41
there's actually two pools inside there
18:42
too as well there's a heated pool which
18:44
is more of like a recovery pool and
18:46
there's also a swimming
18:48
pool for laps
18:49
i'm more of a waiting kind of guy not
18:51
really like a lap kind of guy i could
18:53
swim but
18:55
i'm just more of a kind of just you know
18:58
lounging around type of swimming but
18:59
maybe i can start doing
19:02
more organized swimming i don't know
19:04
just things that are going through my
19:05
head
19:07
and then hotels have pools too
19:09
so you have some cardio and then hitting
19:11
the pools
19:13
it's all a work in progress and like i
19:14
said this is just day one back at it so
19:17
hopefully i can keep up with it that's
19:18
my plan
19:20
by kind of announcing it and
19:22
putting out into the world
19:25
writing it down it's going to make a big
19:26
difference
19:27
and that's going to do it for today
19:31
from celebration florida
19:32
i'm here to announce
19:34
again
19:36
for the quite a few times of my life
19:38
that i have made announcements like this
19:41
i try it again
19:42
i feel good about it yesterday went over
19:45
my parents house
19:46
and had dinner with my mom and dad and
19:48
my mom said have you been going to the
19:50
gym you've been doing the gym thing i
19:52
started making excuses about didn't want
19:54
to drive over
19:55
to said gym
19:57
gyms there's a couple in the
19:59
in the area
20:00
you know just kind of making excuses and
20:02
i woke up this morning i started to
20:04
think about it i gotta stop making
20:05
excuses gotta
20:07
i just gotta make it part of my routine
20:10
everything i do is a routine whether it
20:12
is something good
20:14
that you know feeding my face with good
20:16
food
20:17
or eating things that are bad if i get
20:20
on the routine of going to a certain
20:22
fast food place or
20:23
a certain establishment where they have
20:25
something i shouldn't be eating if i get
20:27
into that routine it just becomes a
20:28
habit if i can develop a good habit
20:30
start of the year i think i did 40 i
20:33
think it was 40. it might have been 50
20:34
but i think it was 40 days
20:36
in a row where i was on the road
20:38
traveling and i was doing the treadmill
20:40
every night and i lost a considerable
20:42
amount of weight just eating a little
20:43
bit better and doing that so i'm going
20:44
to get back on that bandwagon and try
20:46
that again it's all for me the way it
20:48
works for me it's all about habits and i
20:50
can create a habit very very quickly
20:52
right now
20:54
try to get back on this habit i'll see
20:55
the next video
20:57
the vlog
20:58
these look kind of unusual with the cord
21:01
is over
21:03
gotta love
21:05
florida clouds right
21:11
it feels like i'm still walking my legs
21:11
kind of feel like mush right now
21:14
66 minutes on the treadmill moving at a
21:16
pretty brisk pace i wasn't running but i
21:17
was moving pretty quick i was just
21:19
working up a little bit of a sweat
21:21
it feels like i'm still moving feels
21:22
like this is the treadmill
21:24
like it feels like i'm still
21:26
still walking also the better call saw
21:28
ending
21:31
i don't know if i loved it
21:33
i love better call saw love breaking bad
21:36
love those shows
21:37
i don't know if it was a climactic
21:39
ending like i expected
21:40
wasn't bad
21:42
tied up a lot of loose ends and i'm glad
21:44
it ended the way it did
21:47
jimmy mcgill saul got what he deserved
21:49
but yeah i was kind of expecting
21:51
something a little more climactic and
21:53
one other good thing about going on a
21:55
treadmill if i could do an hour every
21:56
day i think it'll be easy for me to get
21:59
back on that
22:01
on that tr on that
22:02
i don't say is that off the wagon or on
22:04
the wagon get on it get on that workout
22:06
train by doing
22:08
treadmill or any kind of elliptical
22:10
every day because there's a lot of shows
22:12
like i watch the show today
22:14
for that hour there's a lot of shows i
22:16
need to watch that i just do not have
22:17
time because when i am out and about or
22:19
when i mean i'm home i'm doing other
22:21
stuff
22:22
so i need to be
22:24
stationary for an hour
22:27
and i think that's going to be good
22:28
because there's so many shows and movies
22:31
that i need to watch i still haven't
22:32
finished the i still haven't finished
22:34
the last episode the last season
22:36
of stranger things so i'm going to do
22:37
that over the next series of days i'm
22:39
gonna get through stranger things
22:41
so i'm gonna do an hour on ellipticals
22:43
and treadmills and things like that for
22:45
an hour every day and just come up with
22:47
an hour of
22:49
tv watching or movie watching i can
22:51
watch a half a movie one day half the
22:53
movie the next time
22:57
i still haven't decided on the time
22:57
frame when i'm going to do this h and
22:59
i'm not going to film it anyway just
23:01
thinking out loud
