Do you want the good news or the great news?
Well, let’s build it up. Took Sunday and Monday off to try to heal from my injuries on Saturday. My date Saturday nite went well even if it hurt to walk, so Sunday was more about catching back up on sleep. Monday had a date with a different gal and went to see Cheap Trick, Heart, and Journey at the local amphitheater. Good show but hot as hell.
Hit shoulders last night, but left off the cardio to allow another day of healing, but I feel good and no pain, so will hit it again tonite. I was told that it was ok that I missed cardio yesterday "because I had a hard body". I’m definitely not used to hearing that. Took me a second to grasp what was said and then wished it could be repeated. Yeah, I’m that much of an egomaniac.
So, on to the great news. Some of my boxers and jeans had been feeling looser and can tighten my belt up another notch, so I decided on Saturday to hit the store and try on a pair of 32 waist jeans. Yup, fits. A little tight in the thigh, and my thighs aren’t what they used to be, but just proves how clothes are made for either skinny or fat, not for an athletic body. They fit. So, even though I was just going to try them on, I had to buy 2 pair on principle. So now my pant size is the same as when I was in 8th grade, except of course for the longer inseam.
I guess I must like to be different since I am doing things backwards. Normally people are fit in their 20s and then begin the long decline to the nursing home. I declined in my 20s and getting lean in my mid-30s. Guess I never have followed the crowd too much anyway.

wow… a 32 waist is like what the fitness models wear - you a stud Jeff!! As for the age / fitness. Im the same way. My body went to shit in at 23; I’m much better shape at 32 than i was in my 20’s, so we are in the same boat amigo. Better late than never! Take it easy Mr Hardbody.
