In october of 2009 i have gotton my family to agree that everyone is going on a diet and starting to eat better.  i really sujested it for my mother and farther,  they are getting older now and it is even more important for them to get with the program.  my dad lifts about 3 days a week but his diet is really bad, he loves soda, my mom on the other had doesn’t do any exercise ( she is my really big challenge). when i started talking about the oct challenge even my sister in-law and brother wanted in, so i am very happy and looking foward to trying to make my family healthier.  i already started with my girlfriend about 2 months ago and she is starting to see some of the benifits of workingout, i even saw her flexing in the mirror( i couldn’t stop laughing) wish me luck

my gym has been doing improvements ( if u can call it that) since january. they have painted and put up fancy lights and alot of crap that isn’t needed.  The probelm is it is now Aug 20 and they are still doing these improvements that arent’ even needed.  some days they will close the basement to do these things ( that is where all the free wieghts and dumbells are) and it messes up peoples scheduals, ontop of that i have to work around people painting on latters and hear loud asa saws when all i want to do is focus on lifting and be left alone.  i don’t care if there are holes in the wall, no fancy carpets or even a/c, if u want to do something to make the gym better fix the machines, get more wieghts , more benches.  i feel that after my contract is up that my gym is getting to fancy for me and i might have to go find a new one.  u can keep the tv in the treadmill

coment if u feel the same way.

to make a long story short, i was talking to my dad ( who still lifts) about how my shoulder is coming along and he told me it sounds like u a going to easy on your shoulder it should be fine by now,  so while i was at the gym that afternoon ( chest day) i went heavier on dumbells, and i had shoulder pain, alot of it.  that was sunday, my shoulder feels fine now but i was very scared at first, i would hate to re- injury it and have to sit on the sidelines again.  yesterday i didn’t lift because my gym is under construction ( that’s another story for a another time) but i am back today with my back routine. hopefully everything goes well,  but i learned listen to your body and not to other people
