Got a little Captain in ya? I hope so if you're reading this blog.

Whose yo Captain?

It's about 2am, I'm listening to my friend Danny B "Spin Records" on the radio and I'm relaxing in a kick ass chair I bought off the internet (yep, you can save money on everything haha). Tonight is such a perfect night to reflect on the choices I've made and where I'm going. I wake up now realizing that there are infinite possibilities each and every day. Anything can happen and it's up to me to "Chose my own adventure" if you will. Do you feel like you are steering your ship or are you allowing the ship to steer itself? Let me tell you it's not very easy to get where you want to go if the ship is sailing in any random direction. It's time to Captain that ship and steer that thing full speed ahead! Now it's true there might be storms along the way that try and blow you off course, these are circumstances beyond our control. What we can control however is the decision on whether or not to continue sailing towards our destination after the storm hits us. Maybe it appears that the storm has completely destroyed your ship. Now I guess there's no way to get there now huh? Of course there is! Swim there, borrow a boat, ride a dolphin, start dating a mermaid, I don't care. Don't let anything get in your way.

Regardless of your religious/spiritual beliefs, why should you ever feel like you can't have or be something in your life? Where did this belief come from? Do you think that "God" doesn't want you to live up to your full potential? There is a quote from the bible that says "With god all things are possible." I don't claim to be a Christian or a religious person, but I do believe in god or a higher power. If all things are possible, what does that leave out? The answer my friends is .......NOTHING! You can have anything you want, you can be anyone you want to be, and you can inspire others to do the same. Don't allow weak minded negative people to tell you otherwise. It doesn't concern anyone except for you, your heart, and your soul. Never be afraid of the passion and desire that lives inside of you. Those feelings are there for a reason aren't they? If they're not, that would be a really sick joke ;)

Bless you all and thank you for reading.

Coming soon...guest blog from famous Chef, Author, and Speaker Chef Mark Garcia

First let me just say how honored and excited I am to have such a high caliber guest on my blog. I have been watching some of Chef Mark Garcia's online recipe videos as he is also doing the Slow Carb Diet from the 4-Hour Body by Timothy Ferriss. Not only are his videos entertaining and high quality, but they are also very informative as well. Chef Mark has found a way to make a normally pretty bland diet seem like fine dining cuisine. I would like to thank him in advance for agreeing to be a guest blogger.

If you'd like to learn more about Chef Mark Garcia, here is a great article:

The 4-hour Body 10 day results!

The 4-Hour Body: 10 day results

The 4-Hour Body: Slow Carb Diet 10 day results from Johnny Flynn on Vimeo.

Today is my 10th day of the 4-hour body slow carb diet. So far this program has been far easier and more manageable than I expected. For the past nine days I have not done any working out of any kind. Today I have decided to start incorporating cardio and weightlifting into my program. I started off easy with 75 reps of 2-handed Kettlebell swings as well as the "From geek to freak" recommended lifts of pull downs ( 7 reps, pace 5/5) and shoulder press (7 reps, 5/5 pace). Needless to say, that was definitely enough to trigger some soreness for tomorrow. I will be ice packing my body down tonight to increase fat burning as well.

As you may remember, I didn't take my measurements on my first day of the diet. I did however weigh-in and measured my bodyfat percentage.

Here are the results as of today 1/21/11

1/11/11- weight: 224.7 lbs/ bodyfat: 32.3 %

1/18/11- body measurements: Biceps: 13.5 in, Waist: 41in, Hips: 40.5 in, Thighs: 24 in.

1/21/11- weight: 222lbs, body measurements: Biceps: 13.5 in, Waist 40.5 in, Hips 40 in, Thighs 24 in.

10 Day Results w/o exercise:

Total pounds lost 1/11-1/21: 2.7lbs

3 Day Results w/o exercise:
Total inches lost from 1/18-1/21: 1 inch
