Pre season task 2 12wbt

My Excuses and Their Solutions

Internal Excuses
i have no motivation
i am too tired
cant be bothered
dont have time
its too hot
i have no energy
Solutions
a solution for them all is for me not to think about it and just do it, just like i get up when the alarm goes off at 5am i should get on with exercise without any thought or excuses!

External Excuses Within My Control
 its too late
i dont have time
im too tired after work
Solutions
as above just do it and dont think about it, it should be a reflex action to exercise rather than a choice.

External Excuses Outside My Control
 Looking after the children
starting work at 6am waking up at 5am
Solutions
work around the time i have to look after the children and maybe get up at 4:30am and work out then.

there you have it, all the dumb excuses i came up with not to exercise, looking back they are so lame and stupid, i think now of how good i would be had i exercised instead of making excuses, but from now they end, excercise will be a natural act, like breathing. 

Pre season task 1 12wbt

INTRODUCE YOURSELF.

A little bit about myself, I am Marcelo, a 39 year old Chilean born in Santiago in 1971 who came to Australia in 1985, i now consider myself Australian, although no one can ever take away my chilean heritage, VIVA CHILE!!! (yes i speak fluent spanish and english, spanish classes are free )

I have four children 2 girls and 2 boys my two girls from my first marriage are Cynthia who is 14 and Monique who is 12. My boys are from my de-facto relationship, Blake who is 4 and Kaine who is 2.

I am a printer, i tenpin bowl,i love sports, my passion are the Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs rugby league team.
I have played World of Warcraft for about 5 years now, i love it i also love Twitter, you could say im addicted to it, but im more addicted to the people i have met by using it, i love all music except heavy metal and R&B i love all movies but especially comedies, i am a Seinfeld,Frasier and Everybody loves Raymond freak.

My day starts at 4am and ends at approx midnight, im on twitter always and on facebook, i just love talking to people.

ive joined the 12 week body transformation and hopefuly this will be the one that works!!
Ive tried so many things but i never get anywhere, i am currently at 98 kilos, i want to get to 80 but the thing i want to do the most is get rid of my stomach, it looks like a beer belly but i dont drink that much.

Ive tried gym,lite n easy,shakes,starvation,protein diet,walking but nothing seems to work, the one which worked was lite n easy, it got me down to 92 kilos but then xmas arrived and im back at 98....
What can i say i love food, but its so not healthy the way i am going, cholesterol was at 7.1 last time i was tested, since then ive cut out the crap and i have been eating healthier, but the gut remains and if i eat 1 thing out of the lite n easy diet the weight comes back.

I am so sick of waking up in pain every day, im also sick of being tired 100% of the time, im also an insomniac, i have no energy and i just hate the way i feel.
Then not long ago i came across this http://www.12wbt.com/ and i joined the facebook page, saw before and after pics, and i thought this might be the thing that gets me out of this rut, ive been excited about this for ages and now it finally begins, hopefuly i will work i hope it does and i shall be putting a before ad after pic.

So here it is, the start of my transformation from fat slob to thin,fit slob lets hope it works and i can add a few yrs to my life....

Work

Gday, All of you who are my twitter friends, have at one time or another seen me tweet about my hatred for work, well this is why...
I am a printer by trade, i have been since 1989 i have worked at many companies, some big some small and 1 huge ive met a lot of great people, but also ive met my fair share of assholes.
Printing is not an easy job, its dirty, there is a lot of very heavy lifting,its hot, you have to run around and make sure the machine is running well, in fact Printing is very stressful but the upside is that the pay is very good, if you are lucky.

When i worked at the Huge company my hourly rate was $36 an hour, it was me, 2 offsiders (helpers), and the place was clean and happy.
Well when my ex wife left me something snapped inside my head and i quit, and i got in my car and moved to another state, time past by, there were absolutely no printing jobs up there and i missed my kids so i came back to sydney.

So i found this place, its not huge but its not that small either,for the first 5 years working there was a dream, but then a change of management started, and the place became hell.
here are some of the changes,
1-No morning tea.
2-The speed at which the machine runs HAS TO BE FASTER, (the faster the machine runs the more stress you get as there are more chances for fuk ups)
3-As the machine speeds have increased as well as the workload, instead of leaving the machine crew as it was, they took both my offsiders away, so now its just me, operating the machine.
4-They made the Storeperson redundant! so not only do i do EVERYTHING on the machine i also have to get my own materials and sometimes load trucks... (i refused to get my forklift license so i dont have to do all that)
5-Not allowed to open the big roller doors due to dust blowing into the factory contaminating the paper, so the temperature inside goes up and up, if its 35c (95f) outside   inside is 45c (113f)

Now because of all the rules most people have left, but the ones that have left were the good people, the good workers, unfortunately what remains is the assholes.
The afternoon shift printer, who thinks the sun shines out of his arse, who never sets up and runs a job, but leaves it for me on the dayshift, "in case there are problems and the bosses can help".
Also the production manager who is on a measly 100k a yr who cant make any decisions on his own, who doesnt seem to give a fk about the place and who always asks me how to fix stuff.
The laminators who when their machine is down are supposed to help me but refuse by saying "not my job" so they sit down and watch, also the office stuff who are so incompetent a blind monkey with no arms could do a better job, and oh the backstabbers run rampant, the psycho printer on day shift who hates the lazy afternoon printer and the technical officer who thinks he is the boss because he comes from New Zealand, the sales manager who is as useless as roof racks on a plane who hasnt gotten us a single new customer in 4 years.

There also has been some harrassment of a female employee, and i witness it every day, for example 4 office workers come down to the factory floor wearing no steel capped boots, NOTHING gets said, the secretary comes down as well with no steel cap shoes, she gets told off for not wearing them then gets a warning, FROM THE SAME PERSON WHO PREVIOUSLY HAD DONE THE SAME...
so i tell him that that isnt fair and he starts lecturing me on being the boss of the company....eventhough he is just a SALESMAN! so we yell and scream and almost come to blows, we go into the office, he gets told "not to do it again" and the girls STILL gets the warning.... i cant work like that.

And to top it off i ask for a payrise, and i cop the "we pay you above the award, be thankful you have a job and if you dont like it leave" so i have made my decision, this year will be my last there...
its come to the point where i dread getting up to work, i walk in there and i am grumpy, no one talks to one another, theres tension in the air, i see the secretary cry almost daily.... so i get angry and tweet.... only place i can vent...there are more things about the place but im getting sick of typing, so i shall leave it there.....

Now you know why im always saying i HATE MY JOB..... hope that cleared it up....

Thank you for reading.
