I posted a blog earlier last week about the office snack lady and her ability to get everyone to hover around her because of the chocolate / chips / cookies / dips.  Those comments lead me to believe that it wasn’t the intent or even the lady that was the issue in my mind but more the fact that if people are going to be "lead" to a place it might as well be a good place, right?

So, thanks to everyone’s comments and a little bit of strategic thinking, I’ve just brought a fruit platter with mango, watermelon and banana into the department and guess what, they love it.  Problem solved.

Food was taken and hardly any calories were consumed.

my mate Yuri (the russian who got me started) said to me yesterday that "you turning into jyim jyunkie".  I don’t think that’s a bad thing.  I could be a chocolate junkie….

So I’ll take it as a compliment then? Hell yes I will.

Went to the b/f scales this morning expecting mid teens as it has been about 10 months since last checked (19% at last count) and looked down to see a big fat 12% staring back at me.

What the hell is that all about??…. I said to Mrs_muscles the other day that if you’re having fun and setting you goals then the numbers will follow just as a sheer consequence of the activity.  And it does.

God bless cardio

wow! I was looking to be back up to speed this morning as noted in one of my recent posts but not only have i finished the week with a massive arms / cardio day yesterday, we hit the beach this morning with sprints and pushups and general overall sweatiness ensuing.

Check this out though - I get a text from my wife with a pic of the POSITIVE preg test (confirming what we suspected but nevertheless).

Holy crap!!!!!!!!

Bring it on man.  I am ready for number three.

Big lesson this year?

I lose my breath, I find my answers!

Life is full of hills and valleys, some of which would want us to quit along the way.It is during these times that we need to check and reallign our focus in order to remember that the focus needs to be on the finish, not the difficulties along the way.

Wow my last post got a few comments and I think, in retrospect, I didn’t mean to be so bitchy but I was frustrated more than anything.  But without the comments I wouldn’t have been able to get to the issue so for that I am grateful.

Anyway on to my new post.  It’s been a slow week and I’ve done what I planned to do but my heart definitely is not in it this week.  I think the stress of Christmas is setting in and the commitments are feeling heavy on me.  I mean, I’ve gone to the gym don’t get me wrong and I’ve done what I set out to do but no more or no less.  I can always get to the end of my written plan and just keep going with some extra cardio or pushups or whatever but not this week.

Only two days left in the week so maytbe it’s best that I get my doldrums out of my head and onto this blog and move back to a proper head space.

Yeah, that sounds good.  Better head space.
