ALIVE!!!!!!  Yes, I am.  Really!  …and it feels good to be here.  :)

While I have had the time to surf around bb.com lately, I haven’t had much time to say hello or track my workouts in my log.  What can I say?  I am busy.  I’m up at 6, working by 6:30, home at 5, play with my son until 7:30, at the gym by 8:00, showered and home around 9:30 or 10:00, and finally have an hour or two to spend with my wife.  Internet time is scarce! :(   The important thing to know is, I am gaining muscle, staying injury free, and enjoying my time in Germany.  Less than a year before we’re back in the US now!!

Vitamins are illegal in Germany!

June 26, 2009

Without even knowing it, I am now on "the list" for the German customs people.  They will hold and inspect every item that is sent to me believing that I am trying to smuggle illegal substances into Germany.  Why?  Because I had a bottle of vitamins put into a recent shipment I was to receive.  I had checked around my area in Germany and couldn’t find anything besides "normal" centrum vitamins.  Typically, I had no problem finding at least the centrum "performance" vitamins at the local grocery store or pharmacy.  Well, I ordered some from the US and inavertantly discovered that anything over 100% of the recommended intake is illegal in Germany.  …and when you try to have them sent to your home address, you get some interesting phone calls!  What I found interesting was that German internet retailers sometimes advertise these "illegal" vitamins.  So, are they not held to the same standard because they are a German company?  Is only the act of importing the vitamins illegal and perhaps these companies are making the vitamins under license or something?  …enquiring minds want to know!!

Regardless, I am now on the German customs officials’ list of people to hate.  …lucky me!  I still think there is a bodybuilder in that office who is just loving his job right now!
