I have been known for turning down sex before.  Well to be honest  lot of times.  You might say, ummm, hey too much information, but I think not.  It’s quite suitable of story a story to tell.  Anyways if watch enough movies or know of the man and woman dynamics in bed late nights, the woman usually turns the husband down from sex (or aka love making) because she is tired (or just tired of him) or she is reading a book.  Well I have flipped the roles and it states, no sex or fooling around because I, the man, want to read this book.  Go figure right.  I think I lost a lot of points with the guys with that move.

Either way I have been reading a lot lately.  I am excited to jump into the notion or reading instead of watching stories via tv episodes or movies.  I love my netflix. 🙂  I have a kindle e-reader and I am always on amazon.com and I am jumping into my much delayed Book Club this year.  I failed at it last year, but since my head and nose is up in a book now, I figure it’s the best time to start.

Everyday I walk by tons of books in my house and room that I wanted to read and left a stray and it’s now time to pick them up and show them some love, (like a crying baby) and bust them out by the summer so I can jump into more books in the summer.

My goal is to read 4 books by the summer.  Notably, by July 2012.  Here are the books I have on deck to read and finish.

Chris Jericho Undisputed
(how to become the world champion in 1,372 easy steps)
by: Chris Jericho

Do You
(12 laws to access the power in you to achieve happiness and success)
by: Russel Simmons, with Chris Morrow

The Alchemist
by: Paulo Coelho

A Lion’s Tale: Around the world in Spandex
by: Chris Jericho, with Peter Thomas Fornatale

I hope I complete this book club beginner list.  Most likely I will read other books as well, but those are the ones I really want to read badly.  I will create a list and rate each book I have read also.

Are you currently reading a book?  What book are you reading?  Have you been procrastinating at reading also?  What’s one of your favorite books or what book would you recommend to me?

Thanks for reading
Richardo Wilson

PS: Please share your input and tales of reading, I would love to listen and chit-chat.

My 2012 CARDIO vs CARBS Challenge: NO RICE, NO BREAD

Hi everyone, it’s Richardo here.  If you are currently reading this and you are new to my blog, then you are soon to find out I live life to the fullest and I also challenge myself constantly to be the best I can be.  Shout out to all my new subscribers and followers, and if you are not one, you should join the fun. 🙂 Nice plug right?  I am sorry.

Either way, I want some awesome sexy abs and I have beenworking hard at it.  But eating too much rice and bread can hinder that goal.  Carbs can be evil.  So evil I am excluded it out of my diet.  I don’t want to but I have to.  This is the most extreme challenge I have ever set myself for too this date.  If you are from the carribbean such as myself (Jamaica) we eat big plates of food and rice and also hard dough bread from golden krust among other places.  Rice is a crucial part of our meals.

So now you know NO RICE and NO BREAD is a big deal to me at least.  Not only am I going for no rice and bread for 30 days, I am getting back into running and riding bikes too so I am adding a cardio fat burning factor to my challenge.  I ride the bike at the gym, I go on the treadmill and I go running outside, to add to my cardio performance for my workout and weight loss, so I challenge myself  to do 10 miles 4 days a week for 30 days.  So that means 16 days of 10 miles runs or riding, on a moderate level.

Recently I have lost 11 lbs at the gym, and seeing success in my workouts.  I have added so much intensity and various workouts that my body is confused and burning fat smoothly.

I hope I can beat this challenge.  After the next 30 days I will let you know the results and the amount of weight or muscles I have gained from this challenge.

so…

No Rice or Bread for 30 days
and

10 miles (4 days a week)

*side note:  The reason why I don’t go everyday for 10 miles, is because I need to rest my body and also I play soccer, basketball and tennis on the other days.  I would be completely burned out.

A good diet and exercise equals weight loss and a healthy lifestyle.

Are you looking to loss some weight?  Are you working out and eating effectively and to be healthy?  Do you think I will win this challenge against myself?

Thanks for reading
