CardsFan Sounds Off

Well, the other night I was looking at my profile and some of the comments on there and realized it has been six weeks since I’ve hit the gym.  At that time I was hard charging too.  So, I went from the penthouse to the outhouse in the blink of an eye…figuratively speaking.  I’ve been in career transition of late.  After being let go I’ve been hard at work looking for my next business opportunity.  It’s been 3.5 months of looking and I know I’ll turn up a great job before too much longer.  When I first started my search I was hitting the gym hard and working hard at my search but about two months into it I made a change to do a lot more networking both at networking meetings and in one on one opportunities and suddenly I was busier than ever.  I skipped a workout here and there and before you know it a few days turned into a week which turned into a couple of weeks which turned into a month which became…..damn!   Six weeks???!!!  I haven’t been away from the gym for that long since I was injured and facing surgery a few years ago.  Fortunately, I played tennis about two times a week competitively and also played competitive softball.  It’s not the same but at least it kept me active somewhat.  I also was keeping up my usual 98% clean diet and I actually lost about 3 lbs.  I was actually surprised as I would look in the mirror and seem to notice my serratus and abdominus more than usual.  The last two weeks however with my tennis season ended and not having taken my usual tennis lesson beating from coach Rod I ate out a few times which is unusual for me and hit up a couple of drinking opportunities.    So, I felt a little soft and did some self assessment.  I took a few pics and posted them up.  I didn’t go all to hell but I’m definitely not as tight as I usually am.  So, right after I finish this post…I’m out the door the gym.  I can’t wait.  It’s been too long since I’ve been in there.  It’ll feel good waking up a little sore tomorrow morning. 

 Keep on chugging people.  See you when I see you…
