On Sunday, my lady & I do an 8km walk. It’s a huge event organized and sponsored by a leading health insurance company and a talk radio stataion. It’s the first time I’ve participated in an event like this where you get a number and everything! I’m nervous and excited all at once.I think it’s going to be great. I also think I’ll have lost some more weight after the event.

I’m also finally up to speed (or weight) after the recent spate of the sniffles and other unfortunate events. I believe it’s also time for a bit of change in the exercizes. I’m going to try that Pyramiding technique and the workouts that were proposed in the article. (see list of articles on my profile - I think it’s the "Bodybuilding for beginners" article in three parts.) It’s also time I varied the ab exersizes I’m doing.

Remember, life’s short so make out like a Muppet and fcuk like a Fraggle!

Ciao for now.

I wear a belt with three holes in it. For all the time I’ve had it (about 6 years) I’ve always used the biggest setting. There was a brief moment - of about a month or two - three years ago when I used the middle hole but then reverted back to the biggest setting.

I am proud to announce and pleased to realize that I’ve used the middle hole consistantly since February!…now to get to the last hole…

Ciao for now!

Yesterday was my first workout in a while since the sniffles and other disruptions and needless to say, my pecs have that comforting stiffness today.

I love that soreness. It remids me that I did some work towards the body I’d like and I keep pressing them periodically to feel the soreness a little more.

I can’t wait till Saturday when I use my new Ez bar!

Remember: Life’s short so make out like a Muppet and fcuk like a Fraggle! 

Ciao for now!

I’m finally getting rid of the sniffels and next week I start lifting weights again! YAY!!!

My lady also bought me an Ez bar! I’ve been dying to try it out but simply couldn’t take the chance until I felt better.

Wednesday is gym day. Hopefully the sniffels will leave me alone until then…

Ciao for now.

My sniffels turned into Tonsilitis. Yes, I still have my tonsils because of my heart abnormality. The Prof. thought it best that they stay where they are.

I’ve started feeling better and the course of anti-biotics is almost done. One pill left! I’m impatient - I want to feel good enough to hit the gym again dammit!!!!

Later…

My fiance’s brother died in a motorcycle accident on Friday night. It was a freak accident. There’s only a tiny dent in the car and superficial damage to the motorcycle. By all acounts he should have got up and walked away…but he didn’t.

I’m exhausted and the cold I was getting rid of so well is taking advantage of the situation and re-surfacing. Any ideas on how to hold it at bay? From my side I believe I need more quality and quantity of sleep than I’ve been getting in the last 5 days and I’m going to get a multi-vitamine this afternoon. Hopefully I’ll be able to push some weights tomorrow. I desperately need to work off some frustration.

Ciao for now.
