Building a Better Jay

Today was my last day in my US gym.  They do memberships by the month and I wasn’t going to pay for a month if I was only going to use a few days.  So, today was my last day.  I felt pretty nostalgic, but not sad.  I may not ever be back in that gym, but it served its purpose well.

So, regarding goals for 2009, I have very few.  I really need to think about it.  My goals are a bit more long term and I need some interim goals.  Over the next 18 months I’d like to gain about about a pound of lbm per month without much fat (realizing I will, of course, gain some).  I think before I can really be competitive on stage, I just need to get a bit bigger in general - add size everywhere.

I really do believe that 2009 is going to be a great year with lots of interesting adventures.  Whatever happens, I’m sure I’ll have a lot to write about with our adventures in Europe, learning a new area, culture, and language.  It will be challenging and fun.

I know this is short, but time is sort of valuable these days with all of the insanity of the move.  We have people coming & going nearly every day and we are always in need of heading out to pick up something for the trip.

Happy New Year, everyone!  Plan your goals and work your plans!!

Sure, I might be talking about sex.    OK, maybe not.  My 3y/o is starting to stir as I clicked on the "write" tab, so I need to make this quick.

My gym was closed yesterday due to a power outage (high winds).  I was due for chest / back, but didn’t get the chance.  Instead, I came home and did 30 minutes of cardio.  So, today I hit chest / back.  It was a great workout, but a little rushed.  The gym didn’t open until 5am, so I sat in my car listening to German language tapes while I waited.  Ja, ich spreche gut Deutsch!

So, now it’s off to pack / clean again.  We have quite a bit to do before the movers get here Friday!
