Friday Warpage!
The following post is an on-going series, dedicated to blogumenting my continual progress as I work towards the INBA Southwestern USA in Tucson, AZ on April 26, 2008.
So today is Friday. Is it just me or do Friday’s hit anyone else by surprise. On Monday and Tuesday, I can’t believe it’s only Monday and Tuesday, then on Wednesday, I can’t believe the week is just crawling by, then on Thursday, I’m pretty much indifferent on the whole subject…..then BAM…it’s Friday and I wonder were the week went. Things that make you go, hhhmmm…
Feeling pretty good today even after a carb day two days ago. Sometimes I tend to eat just a hair too many carbs and suffer the effects of what I call, “Spillover.”
Spillover is when all of the recently produced visible vascularity goes away for a couple of days and my gut feels a bit large and bloated. Spillover doesn’t last long and it’s not necessarily an overwhelming feeling, but nonetheless, it makes me wonder why I decided to eat so many carbs. Those of you who do the low carb thing probably know exactly what I’m talking about. When I follow a low carb diet for over a week, my body typically responds rapidly and I notice the pants fitting looser, vascularity increases and a greater overall feeling of leanness prevails. Again, doesn’t matter, because I didn’t experience spillage yesterday or today…..Hoe Chee Mama – this is here for no particular reason…I just like the phrase. People, do with this information what you will….
And with that here are a couple points of interest regarding: my state of mind (mostly warped), physical condition, diet, training and other miscellaneous goofy gee whiz points of fodder.
Yesterday’s diet was as follows:.
300A – Low-carb yogurt with scoop of whey, small bowl of Natures’ path high-fiber pumpkin seed flax flakes, Small glass of grape juice

IMPROVEMENT THOUGHTS – Probably could’ve started off heavier with all weights.
Random haziness:
-Because I know these people are out there….don’t fret my friends who are less talked about, Monday is only two days away
-Are we really any better off than we were fifty years ago when gas was like 25 cents a gallon and people spoke to each other in the convenience mart?
-Does anyone else daydream about getting on a rocket ship and just cruising until you run into some unknown planet….No, nobody? Then………yeah I don’t either! I was just curious…………what?
-Doesn’t a righteous car like a Ferrari, Lamborghini, Viper, etc. just have to be some off-the-wall color like burnt-orange or lime-green? Why would you buy a very limited car and not put a very limited color on it. A white Lamborghini just isn’t right….sorry, a hazy debate some of the office peeps and myself have every so often.
-Does anybody out there have a spare custom chopper they are tired of and would like to donate to the BodyAuditor testing site for neglected choppers? If so, inquire within…Hey, it’s tax season, this may be the opportunity for a charitable donation you are looking for after getting hammered this year by the IRS….I’m just asking….
-(-444 / 900.7 X 77)(972.38 + 933 / 39 – 229,333 + 14) = ?
Patriots or Giants or Pats or G-men……who’s taking home the Lombardi? I say the G-men…write it down that you heard it here first!
And with that, I bring today’s blogumentary to a close…Legs again tonight!!..Hoe Chee Mama….

I like that saying too!
I think about leaving the planet all the time, but not in a space ship. I want to be able to float through space. I’m working on some of the more problematic parts of this equation as we speak.

knowing you could have went heavier on your first set will only push you do work harder next time! Awesome job bro! I don’t know about the week thing though. Some times I am so ready to get Friday’s work day over with, I forget that it’s *BAM* Friday! LOL

Spillover - in chick-speak, we call that "muffin top." Those last longer than said spillover, though…
And Hoe Chee Mama - that sounds like something I’d order at a Thai place. "Can I have some Pad See Ew and a bit of Hoe Chee Mama, please?" Yeeeaahh… that’s it…

G-Men… BTW, the diet and workouts are looking solid!!

I’m rooting for the Patriots. Who wouldn’t want "perfection," eh?
In other news, I’m all about the… "miscellaneous goofy gee whiz points of fodder."
Kudos on another sensational blog!
