Week 81
OK, so what happened to bb.com yesterday? I couldn’t get onto the site all day, and even "ping" attempts came back with nothing. Checked the "news" page today and of course nothing is mentioned… just like the picture counters that apparently are broken for any newly posted pix.
Had a wild week at work which previous to my lifting and diet minding would have meant a lot of extra eating, but I managed to avoid that. The lifting also helps to keep the frustration in check, too. I did have a "screaming hissy fit" one morning about yet another snafu that developed, but that’s the only one I have had in a year or more. Without the lifting it might be a daily occurrence.
There was a big event at work Friday night and I saw some folks that I hadn’t seen in a while and there were a lot of compliments in my direction about my appearance. "You’ve lost weight!" "Wow, you look great!" "What’s your secret?" When I replied that my "secret" is to eat right and exercise, I got a groan in return, "Oh, I don’t know about the exercise part, that’s what I have trouble with." Everyone seems to want a quick fix to weight loss and fitness, no one wants to put out the effort to actually do what you have to do. It was an ego booster anyway to get the compliments.
BF pinches this week were undetermined, I guess you could say. The cheap plastic calipers have me down a bit from last week, the digital one has me up a bit. I guess we split the difference and say there was "no change. The tape measure didn’t say it a couple of weeks ago, but I think the shape of my arms is improving… at least that is what I think I am seeing in the mirror! The pecs seem to be doing well with the routine I am doing, I am trying to hit the bis and delts a little differently, so we’ll see how that goes in the next few weeks.
Work is still screwed up and I have to keep an even head with the stuff that comes up, so I’ll keep liftin’.

Reactions like that just kill me. Do people think that it’s magic?
