I just took four days, or more like six days completely off and then went in today and after like five minutes of stretching decided that I’m completely disinterested in any kind of excersize or anything other than working on my computer for the last three weeks that I’ll be here. I stopped from getting excited about my new project that I don’t even want to write about now and being depressed about my engine dying again. It looks like I’ll have to fly back home and just fly back here to pick up my car in a few more months when it’s ready and I can afford to fix it. That will be the fourth engine in 16 months. ****ing unbelievable.

I put photos of my gym machines on flicker http://www.flickr.com/photos/13868867@N06/sets/72157623221489419/

I was going to put them here on bodyspace but I read you’re only supposed to put photos of youself.

I don’t think I’ll go into the gym today. It’s just too damn cold and rainy and my car’s in the shop. I got the perfect pushup the other day. Maybe I’ll do some of those and some other stuff or something. I’m tired today too. Maybe I’m part sick or something. I’ve had diareehah or howeever the **** you spell it.

I just came back from 3.5 hours at the gym and I feel sick. I usually I feel worked, but today I feel sick just like for the last two nights. I didn’t eat well today. i had two coffees, and eclair and two bags of candy. My car broke down again today and I deal with stress with eating candy and drinking coffee. At least I didn’t drink alcohol. My car has been in the shop in the last 16 months than it’s been out of the shop, and that’s not an exageration. About 5/1 ratio. It’s ridiculous. About $20,000 worth of work too.

 I had a pretty good workout though. After my half hour of stretching I benched 135 28x which isn’t my record but isn’t bad. Then two more. Then a set of 20, and then five sets of ten for 100. 30 standing flys with 10lbs, 50 shrugs with 25 forward and 25 back. 50 oblique lifts standing each side, 20 oblique lifts with 45 on the angled backup machine, 20 with 35, 20 with 25, 20 high leg ups where you bring the legs all the way up vertical, 3 sets of 15 cable rows with 200 lbs, 3 sets of 10 machine tricep with 130 lbs. 15 minutes 20-15-10 drop set hand bike for 2.7 miles. that’s all I remember but I have a feeling I did more. Then I ran 5k and then did like an hour of the leg spin stair climber thing at 153 bpm and 195 watts. I stopped running and did that because I wanted to watch lost and I just ran out of energy to run because I had asthma and war sickly feeling. I had asthma because I ate so much sugar and caffeine today. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll be good to go for like four hours. Maybe I should start out with running since I’m supposed to be training for a marathon. I predict I’ll do the marathon between 4.5 and 5 hours. Probably more like five hours. 

I went into the gym this morning and did like 20 minutes of stretching and sat in the sauna for 15 but I decided to not lift because I felt sick with a fever. After coming home I went and got a couple of beers to feel better. I think I’ll be fine tomorrow but I’m sick now. It’s from all that lifting from yesterday. My body doesn’t like suddenly working out hard after taking a lot of time off and drinking. Whatever.

went back to the gym today and did 30 slow crunches with my feet on the wall and a 20 lbs dumbell on my chest 2 sets, 10 slow full pullups, 10 20 lbs aided pullups, 20 slow leg ups. I felt tired so I stopped there and ran four miles on 6.5. I felt super wasted after that so I went home. Now I’m wasted. I should have remembered I need to take it easy on my first day back after taking time off.

I just came back from 3:45 at the gym. Did 45 minutes of stretching, iso lateral benched two 45 lbs plates and two 25s 18x because I saw Annie Riviero and some other big girl do it 20, so that’s my new goal. Then of course I benched 135 10 sets of 10, decline benched 5 sets of ten and incline benched 2 sets of ten and 5 sets of 5, so that’s 200 benches. Did ab pulldown drop set from 210 lbs sets of 20 down to 100, with sets of 50 from 120. I’ll stop at 120 from now on. Hand bike drop setted 20-15-10 2.3 miles in 15 minutes after the benching. Sat in the Sauna for a few minutes. Did like 20 more minutes of stretching. Three sets of 10 machine curl 110 lbs, three sets of 15 preacher curl with 15 lbs, oblique standing raises 50x with 45 lbs, three sets of 50 calf raises with 125 lbs, three sets of 10 leg extension with 250 lbs, three sets of leg abduction in and out with 190 lbs, one set of leg curl sitting with 175 lbs, two sets of 30 standing flys with 10lbs followed by 20 front flys, 50 shrugs with 45 lbs. That’s all I remember. I came home because I want to work on the calendar. I’ll go back tonight for some more lifting and running. I got fat from the time I’ve been taking off.

I took the last few days off because I got carried away with finishing my calendar again. Now I feel like I have to start from scratch. I was in the gym yesterday and stretched for a half hour and did 20 benches with 135 and then 10 and then five minutes on the hand bike but had to stop there because I was totally sleep deprived and needed to crash. I had like an hour of sleep the night before and couldn’t get back to sleep in the morning. I got to sleep great when I went home. It’s 3:45 AM now after I woke up because I had to pee and now I can’t get back to sleep again but I feel rested so I think I’ll get some breaky at jack and the box and go do my four hours now. Sleep is important. I haven’t been eating much either.  I hardly eat anything when I’m not excersizing. Yesterday I had some eggs and then a sandwich and that was all, apart from a couple of protein drinks.

 I’m starting to remember my dreams again, finally.  I had a dream that I was in some small town in another state and did a kayak trip with my sea kayak and it’s outriggers down a small river that went through the center of the town to the next town down with some dude. He said it was illegal but we wouldn’t be caught. There were some rapids and the river was barely big enough for our boat to fit on but it never snagged. We saw another old dude doing it too. When we finished my buddy dissapeared and I was docked at a place in the pitch black with some people who he knew who had been expecting us who put me in another little boat and paddled to the edge of the river to their backyard, as the river was running through a neighborhood. I went in their house briefly and the guy was like a rastaman type who was about to smoke a bowl. I remembered that I would get asthma if I smoked it but I took a hit anyway and I think I remember getting high. When we went back to the river the flood had subsided and it was day so we just walked to my kayak. I was wondering where my friend went and asked someone there how far it was to the town we left from where my car was and he said 50 miles. I asked him how long he though it would take me if I went there alone and he said 6.5 hours but it was illegal. I asked him if he thought it would be easier if two people did it together, implying I wanted him to help me paddle it up and he said I should get my kayak off of their property and on the front of the house which I did. I should have just kayaked up the river. He helped me lug my stuff to the front and there were a bunch off kids just hanging around on the front driveway and I was thinking again about kayaking up the river and asked them about it. They said I would probably not get caught and a girl said the fine was nine "duckets". I asked how much that was  and someone said nine thousand dollars. That sounded risky to me so I picked up a book and looked up taxi numbers and was about to call around and see if I could just strap my kayak to the top of a taxi and get a ride back up that way. That’s when I woke up.

I did my four hours today. i didn’t go into the gym yesterday because I wanted to get caught up on sleep. I got up at 7:30 but still felt like I could get some extra sleep so I stayed in bed and slept. I felt great today. I’ll be good tomorrow too. I barely feel like I worked out at all.

 I got a half hour of stretching in, then did two sets of 20 bench press with 135 lbs and six more sets of 10 for 100. Then five sets of 10 decline bench at 135 lbs, 3 sets of 50 calf raises with 125 lbs, 3 sets of leg extension with 250 lbs, 3 sets of sitting leg curls with 175 lbs, 50 oblique standing, 30 standing fly with 10 lbs, 50 shrugs with 45 lbs each side, 2.8 miles of hand bike drop setting 20-15-10 in 15 minutes, 3 sets of machine curls with 110 lbs, ab cable pulldown drop set 20 reps from 210 lbs down to 100 lbs, ran 6.1 miles in 57 minutes. That’s all I remember.

 I’m jazzed for tomorrow. My arm is healed to be able to swim again. Maybe I’ll do that.

Did 2.5 hrs at the gym today. I’m so shot to **** it isn’t even funny. I could barely keep my eyes open and could barely stand up or walk without a stagger. It’s because I haven’t slept for like the last four nights. I got some sleep this afternoon, like four hours or something, but that’s not enough, especially since that’s about how much sleep I got last ni.. or yesterday afternoon. I had a huge asthma attack on the way to get my car today. It drives soo awesomely now!!! I almost feel like that $4535 I spent on it this time was actually worth it. Oh well that’s the first time I’ve had the transmission replaced in 180,000 miles and 20 years. I’m also not eating enough. I had like one burrito for food yesterday and three burritos nada mas today before going into the gym at 10:30 pm. I feel under fed now but I’m too tired to cook something up so I’m eating a peanut butter sandwich. I also made the mistake of going into the sauna before my workout the last two nights which sucked ALL the energy out of me. It was like kryptonite for superman.

I stretched a half hour, then did ab drop set cable pulldown sets of 20 from the top at 200 lbs down to 120 lbs. Did the sauna for like 15 minutes and sweat like a pig, then finished that drop setting. Benched 135 20x, then 10x. Hand biked .85 miles in 10 minutes at like 9-19 watts. One set of ten tricep pushdown at 110 lbs and curl machine at 110 lbs. Stretched for like 15 minutes and then was like "**** this bs". I don’t even feel like I lifted at all. This is what happens to me when I get sucked into a project. But oh well whatever that calendar is ****ing awesome! I’ll try to pig out tomorrow and hopefully at least to better tomorrow than I did today.

K dawg out…
