Oct 29th ... 2011. I guess I was 48 the last time I posted on my blog. Now that I'm 51 do I have to change the name? I was reading my past posts on this blog. What a bunch of blah blah blah. How many time does a person get to start over before people start to say "Oh no, here he goes again". 

Maybe this time will be different.

It's amazing how fast you realize how out of shape you are when you become single. I guess its because you walk around more often with less clothes on. You catch a glimpse of yourself out of the corner of your eye and have to do a double take. Is that me? Ouch. 

So with all that said ... lets start this again. As I write this I'm 190.5 lbs. 18 lbs. lighter then a few years ago. 

Time goes on ... and so does the weight

June. That was my last entry. Why oh why oh why oh why ...

Blah blah blah ...

Its not fair ...

My back hurts ...

I'll start Monday ...

My gym membership lapsed  ...

I can't touch my toes ...

Its dark at 6am ... and cold ...

Sound familiar ? Will I EVER be able to start something and stick to it? If I was Chris Columbus on the Santa Maria ...

Day 1
Road trip, this rocks ! My own ship, paid for by a queen (insert gay joke here, My own crew, my own sails, barrels of wine, lifting weights on deck, food for months, the adventure of meeting new people, watching sea life from the deck, working on my tan, time for reading. So much fun !

Day 2
Are we there yet?

Anyway ... today is another day. Maybe I'll go for a walk. 

This ended well, not.

So even thought we all have the best of intentions things may not work out as well as we had hoped. Yet again I have started something and have not seen it through to the end. But at least I tried and when I decide to start back at the gym I'll know a little more of how to do things. Besides I have found a better way to loose weight ... it's called the break-up diet. 

Dear David, personal trainer ...

You suck, you suck, you suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck. 

Oh did I mention ... you suck. 

See you tomorrow.     

Blah ...

I'm feeling a bit blah today. My last workout with David was Monday. I did a little cardio on Wednesday, 30 minutes. But nothing since. Could I actually be missing him? Or more to the point ... the workouts ? I think so, very cool!

It happened in between sit-up 18 and 19. I was pulling myself up with every bit of strength I could muster up and I actually said, "I'm gonna die!" He had the nerve to chuckle and say "No you're not"

Really? Then why is my vision blurred ?Why does my chest feel like an elephant is sitting on it ? Why do I hear the howls from a thousand dead souls? 


As I stopped screaming he handed me a towel to wipe the sweat from my eyes and said "Give me the ball and give me 10 more."

And so it goes ...

In the life of a gym-bunnie a week without working out is forever. Now I'm not saying I'm a gym-bunnie, not by any means. But I will say that my stride has been off since Monday, my last work out. I guess that's a good thing. Life got in the way last week and I didn't have time. But lesson learned, make time.
