The 3 men and the fruits

This one is hilarious!

One day in the forest, 3 guys were just hiking along a trail when all of a sudden, a huge pack of indians attaked them and knocked them out. When they woke up, they were at the leader of the tribe's throne. The chief then said "All of your lives may be spared if you can find ten of one fruit and bring them back to me." So after a while the first man returned with 10 apples.
The chief then ordered him to stick all ten of them up his butt without making any expression at all on his face. He had a little bit of trouble with the first one and started crying while trying to put the next one in. He was soon killed.
Later, the next guy came in with 10 grapes. The cheif soon ordered him to do the same as the first guy. After to the 9th grape, the man started laughing so hard for no apperant reason, and was killed.
The first two guys soon met in heaven and the first guy ask the second, "Why did you start laughing? You only needed one more grape and you'd have gotten away!"

The second guy answered while still laughing, "I couldn't help it. I saw the third guy walking in with pineapples."

Quotes of the day: Ingratitude

Today I've been in a very unpleasant situation at work. They offerd one of my coworkers (M. XYZ) and I to change our schedules since there is another coworker leaving the job and we have to fill up that time. So M.XYZ didn't want to share the hours and took them all. What hurted me more is that I've always changed my schedule for him, always replaced him when he was unable to work. It's because of him I'm working on Sundays afternoon.


"Most people return small favors, acknowledge medium ones and repay greater ones - with ingratitude."

Atlanta (Before the trip)

I'm going to spend my week-end in Atlanta, GA. I've never been there and according to my friends there are many cool activities to do. After some googling, these are few pictures I found. I'll try to do as many activities as I can and I will report them here.

Atlanta is also known for his famous aquarium which is the world’s largest with over 8 million gallons of water.

Workout tips

This is an advance post from this one. I added more details.

• Focus on how many calories you are burning out. It's not a myth, we need to pay more attention to the calories and try to find a better balance between our weight and length
• More is better when it comes to working out. Spend at least 3 hours per week at the gym, more walking, take the stairs instead of the elevator, etc..
• Carbs or sports drinks are only ok if you are in a long and intensive training like an athlete. Don't believe what they are saying in magazines and TV ads. Just drink water. You don't need all the extra sugar from sports drinks.
• Not lifting enough or way too much! If you think the weight or the machines aren't appropriate, ask someone to help you find out the suitable weight for you.
• Have a realistic set plan. Go step by step and don't rush your training or set your expectations too high.
• Don't use a whole bunch of gym machines, just because they are there or you have seen someone else using them. Don't forget you have your own goals, and always ask a professional on how to use them correctly, and if it's fine for you.
• Eat healthier foods and eat them on a scheduled time. Also avoid snacks like chips, peanuts, chocolate etc... Exersises will just accelerate your results.
• Keep your main workout short and intense. Never spend more than two minutes between two exersises.
• Keep your workout simple and effective. Just because this machine is harder to use doesn't mean it is better. Focus on movements that count.
• Have an active lifestyle. Go play, run , dance.
• Stop listening to TV ads and magazines. 90% of the time, they are not telling you everything, and their only focus is to make money not to help you.
• Listen to your favorite music while running. It will help you forget the pain and will make you feel more comfortable.
• Think positively and don't stress out when you fail reaching your goals. Learn something and use that bad experience to improve your workout and yourself.
