So as the guys discovered last night, I am on vacation. Not your usual vacation, I am actually still going to work. I am just on vacation in my after work activities. No RideSearch, no working out, just enjoying watching movies and tv and eating what I want. I call that Brian Normal. Of course it is going to end one way or another, but I need a respite from stressing myself out about weight loss and development. That usually happens before I try something new, because I realize I shouldn't stress myself out about those things. I need to change my mind about them.

So what is next? Well, aside from my new invention that pulls your keys out of your pocket every 5 minutes, forcing you to bend over to pick them up, I am concentrating on rewiring my brain. I think that over the years of wishy washy dieting and exercising a hatred of it has developed that is unhealthy. It makes even doing any bit of exercise and dieting a psychological chore. Although I tend to like the pocket idea. I think I'll call it the pocket exerciser, pocket pusher or pocket rocket. Bending over every five minutes is sure to burn calories. Needs more tests. Any takers?

So why rewire the brain? Well, over the years I have done less and less activity, to the point that even bending over or swinging a bat or running on a treadmill produces sweat, raises my heart rate, makes ankle joint pain and seems tedious and boring. For you skinny people, imagine putting an 80 pound weight on your stomach and doing your daily activity while you crave good tasting food. I hate diet and exercise. So subsconscously I have avoided doing things that cause any kind of energy expenditure. I think there was a mayo clinic study that found that thin people do much more small activity than big people. Obviously I am a thinker and not a doer. But thoughts can lead to actions sometimes.

So how do I rewire the brain? Well, hypnosis seemed to work until the hypnotists morals invaded my subconsious, so that may be part of it. Also, getting back in touch with being a physical being is important. For instance, producing stimulus on the body, like massage or simple muscle movements will help. Also, I need points of reference. For instance, when I look in the mirror I see only me and in my mind I look good. Now if I was standing next to an average person I would be able to see these differences and connect them in my brain. So I would need a model of someone to compare my progress to. I also need forced weigh-ins and calorie tracking. I started that on the iPhone but got bored of it so someone else needs to remind me. Also, I need positive reinforcement of healthy choices, like a support group that gives me praise for my food and exercise choices. I'm kind of like a dog. Maybe give me a treat for doing good.

So how do I begin? What if I started a weight loss center that did the following: 1. Gave massages 2. Had daily meetings about food choices 3. Implemented hypnosis 4. Had a mirrors for you to compare yourself to regular people 5. Had positive reinforcement for winners 6. Did calorie management and daily weighins 7. Had brain rewiring workouts that produce no sweat, just doing exercises extremely slow. 8. Had TV, movies, internet and couches so that people could live their lives at the center. You would even get a healthy dinner at our cafeteria. It would be almost like the Biggest Loser compound. I wonder how much it would cost to put in place.

Eh, this all seems well and good, but seems like a lot of work and for someone with an energy expediture problem it is impossible. I need fusion to increase my energy level. If I have a higher energy level I will do more things. So I need more sleep, need to stretch in the morning, need a protein filled breakfast and should somehow get an ionic air purifier at my desk. I think to start with those things will increase my energy levels. Anyways, I am going on and on today. Still more thinking is required to get off of my vacation. Considering I have just typed 4000 characters I suppose I should get back to work.
