I had big plans for the 100th I Hate Cardio blog post but seeing as how I have real work to do I'm going to keep it short. Somewhat.
When I first started this blog it was going to serve two purposes, (1) to get my ass in the gym and keep it there because if I blogged about it I'd be held accountable and (2) to give my friends some exposure to help their business.
Well, 100 posts later and I'm not sure if I've accomplished either of those missions. The fact is I go to the gym unless work gets in the way and my blog doesn't have anything to do with it. And although the gym is doing better it's because RFM is a fitness mecca and people recognize quality when they join.
As much as I'd love to say that there's been a 20 percent increase in RFM membership because of the I Hate Cardio blog that's just not true. But what I have accomplished thus far is (1) provided entertainment for the six or seven people that read this blog and (2) give myself a creative outlet.
These aren't the same goals as when I started, but I've accomplished them nonetheless. But I'm still trying to help Bump and Kristi promote the gym, always. I owe them a lot.
In any case, happy 100th blog! As a reward for my faithful readers I've taken a page out of Kehau's book and included food preperation instructions. Namely for grilling steak, the world's most perfect food.
So here it is:
- Buy tri tip steaks from Costco
- Place in pan
- Pour high grade olive oil
- Rub Hawaiian salt and cracked black pepper onto steaks
- Squeeze juice from four limes onto steaks
- marinate overnight
- grill to perfection
- eat and give thanks
I'll put my steak up against anyone else's steak. Look at me, I'm 200 pounds. I know what I'm talkin about.
Also, a friend of mine has said he wants to go to Vegas mid August. I'm down but I've got to get some abs. I'll do whatever it takes. Anything. I've heard that I have to eat nothing but boiled chicken and broccoli. I can do it. I'll do abs everyday. I just don't want to be cruising the Palms pool with this gut. I'm done with the gut. Vegas in the summer and the gut do not mix.
Finally, I've talked about having a "floatilla" on Maui but some of you don't know what I'm talking about. So here's a KHON story about what happened in Waikiki this year. Click here http://www.khon2.com/mostpopular/story/Hundreds-gather-at-party-spot-in-the-waters-off/2tfZRGTd2k6WhNoSY9i9lw.cspx
And I leave you with the top ten keywords and phrases that lead people to my blog from search engines:
1. Rod Antone
2. "Rod Antone"
3. cardio hunger
4. cardio pistols
5 clean and jerk pregnant
6. commando squats
7. i hate cardio rod antone
8. Kehau blog fitness on Maui
9. Maui paleo
10. my injury workout site: blogspot.com
Enjoy,
Rod

Congrats on the 100th post. By far, this blog is one of my fav. sites to visit. I had no idea Paia could produce such talent...
100 posts? Seriously? We should do something to celebrate....maybe like 100 burpees! Before you start bitching and moaning Rod....think abs for Vegas!
ReplyDeleteoh and BTW....WTF is up with keyword/phrase #5???!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy 100 Posts Rod-ster! WOOHOO!! Thanks for inspiring all of us other "blogsters" and for steppin' up your game and not backing down when all of us up-and-coming "wannabe's" jumped in.
ReplyDeleteCannot wait to read the next 100!!

Hey Mr. or Miss RFM, howzabout 100 ab related things at least. Maybe 100 toes to bar or 100 situps or something like that. Hep a brutha out here.
ReplyDeleteYAY!!! 100 POSTS! CHEEHOO!
ReplyDeletesince I've only discovered this brilliant blog this past month, I only got a tiny taste of what you can really do. and since you have "clean and jerk pregnant" as one of your search engines I definitely haven't seen all of "I Hate Cardio". I can't wait for whatever you post next. I'm like Carrol....a blog stalker.

Hello Montanna, are you real or some sort of computer robot that does abdominal machine advertising?
