Building a Better Jay

What a weekend! Cheat meal was awesome! My son has discovered a great new past-time: riding Dad. He sits on my upper back and asks (tells) me to do pushups. I get down and he yells "UP!" over and over until I do another pushup. He is now accepting clients for his personal training business.  He’s only 2.5 and has no certification, but his blue-eyed-blond-haired cuteness and infectious laugh will keep you coming back for more.

Progress last week - up another lb. It’s hard to say exactly what my bf numbers are, but they are going up as well (which I know is to be expected). I’m sure I’m gaining mostly muscle (which is what the bf numbers indicate). Pictures coming next week! I’ll post them for the IMPC for sure, and probably over here, too.

Today’s workout was another killer - heavy weights / low reps.  I love this stuff!  It just doesn’t get better than this!

I downloaded a new song last night and I’m sort of embarrased to admit it.  OK, fine, it’s Madonna - 4 minutes.  Yeah, I’m that guy. LOL!  I don’t know why, but I like poppy sort of music to workout to.  Of course, I also like some harder rock & alternative type music too.  I guess I’m sort of eclectic in my tastes.  I have everything from the Beatles to the Superman theme to Eminem and so much more in between.   I guess it doesn’t matter - whatever works.  I’ve refrained from purchasing any Michael Jackson, even though I admit to liking some of his music.  Pedo’s are evil and I can’t support that sort of thing.  The guy is messed up and needs some help - but that’s another blog entirely.

Happy Monday!!

Last night was a total cheat night of cheesecake!  I figure if you’re going to cheat, at least enjoy the heck out of it.   Honestly, I don’t really get a lot of cravings, but for some reason I really wanted cheesecake yesterday.  My wife didn’t complain.    It was an "after-the-little-guy-goes-to-bed" date night which means we stay at home and usually get a movie and make a nice dinner together or something similar.  I love those nights - especially when I’m not try to lose some bf.

So, anyway, today is a total non-w/o day.  Yesterday was a nice chest / back day.  I’ve never worked the two out together and it made for some interesting post-w/o soreness.  I like working it until I’m sore.   Saturday mornings at the gym are the best!  I love being able to make as much noise as I want or strike a pose between sets.  It’s nice and makes me feel like I’m in a real gym, even if it is all a mirage.  Certainly, my gym is real, but it is more geared toward the fitness side of things than the weightlifting / bodybuilding side.  It’s just the only gym that’s open at 4am when I need to workout (for now).

RAIN!!  It’s supposed to rain today.  It rained yesterday.  It rained 2 days ago.  It rained 3 days ago.  It is nice to not have to pay to water my lawn, but I’m still hoping for some solid days of nice weather soon.  I’d really like to get out to the playground with my son when it’s not a mudpit.  It’s so much more fun to run around the park than the living room.

Well - enough babble for now.  I’ve got to go start some laundry or I’ll be going to work naked tomorrow.  I’m pretty sure there’s a rule against that in the employee handbook, but I’ll have to double check.
