Hey dvlmn66,

what does that stand for anyway? dvl=devil, mn=man, 66=1966??

LOL!

Just one line before i go beddy bye so I'll post here! Why do you have 2 journals? I never know which one to look in.... So you're posting twice the same thing? OK, I know, you started one before the Challenge and one is for the Challenge...

Yawn,

Posted by: dvlmn666

lol you got the first two parts right. 666=number of the beast aka devil Origionally I wanted to just be devilman, but that was plain and well it had been taken already. So I added the 6's, which kind of make it redundant. but oh well. it looks cool.

But you can just call me dvl if you want, I answer to that all the time.

and yes this is the journal I'll be keeping, the other one is just for the challenge. That's why I put the pix in here. But it's always good to check both, the workouts are always he same in both. but the tips and conversations happen in both.

sleep good.

Posted by: lina

LoL, I didn't see the last 6, so it's definitely time for bed!

Well, my birthday is 6-6-64 so I always say that I'm da devil too! So there ya go, from one devil to another!

pix, pix what the heck here's my pix starting the diet

Posted by: dvlmn666

and since I've never shown my legs before.

Posted by: dvlmn666

MWF: No Carb Days
Th and Su: Low Carb Days
Tu and Sa: High Carb Days

Meals on workout days 5:30, 9, 12, 4, and 8 pm.
Non workout days: 9,12,3,6,9

Each meal has as much protein from the list (see below) as I want.

On the high Carb days I can eat as much from the list (see below) as I want.

On the low carb days, meals 1-3 I eat about 50g of approved carbs.

Supliments other than protein:
FSI Creatine Clear
Liquid Clenbutrx
AST Glutamine

Approved Foods"

Protein:
Chicken
Tuna
Fish
Ground Turkey
Turkey Burgers
Protein Powders

Carbs:
Oatmeal
All veggies
Potatoe
Brown Rice

I'm planning on starting this on 07-11-02 for 12 strict weeks.
There will be a posible of only 2 cheat days through this.

I'm open for suggestions to improve on this diet. Let me know what everybody things.

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Actually....here's how the meal plan worked for me (and how TP designed it.)

Monday (day1) -- No carbs
Tuesday (day2) -- No carbs
Wednesday (day3) -- Low carbs
Thursday (day4) -- High carbs.
Friday (day5) -- No carbs
Sat. (day6) -- low carb
Sunday(day7) -- High carb
Monday -- no carb
Tuesday -- low carb
Wed. -- High carb.

Then cycle no/low/high on a three-day cycle.

You only do the two day no carb to start off with to kick start the metabolism. It truly works. Immediately at the onset of the second week, I'd already lost three lbs. and 1 1/2 inches.

Your supplements are going to be okay. Don't forget to add a multi!! And I only had my protien shakes on high carb days. However, I didn't use them every week.

Nice start on the pics....I like, I like!!

Posted by: dvlmn666

FG, I'll steal the first two days from you. But then I'll go with the way I'd had planned, I actually took it from his journal. I liked his using the days better because I always have a harder time on the weekends so having a low and high day in there will make it easier for me.

yeah I take GNC Mega Men Multivitamins, Just forgot to add them in.

I'm going to try to take weekly pix, just to try to be able to see the changes as the come about.

Yours is almost done, what's next? and think you got your goals?

But I like that no carb the first two days. I'll have to do that. thanks

Thanks on the pix, I feel like I lost a little since the pix before this but I was really bad on my diet. But I'm back to it now.

Posted by: Princess

I think the pix look GREAT!!!
NICE LEGS! WOW!!!

Good luck on the new TP/FG Diet.. I know its hard...but you can do it babe!!

Posted by: dvlmn666

I'll be doin my best, and thanks Princess **blushing** Just wait we'll see how much I can improve.

Posted by: Princess

Improve WHAT?? Ya Look great!!!

OH MY GOSH.. AND I JUST READ THAT ABOUT YOUR ROOMMATE!! What a SPRINGER Story.. your right! Poor guy!! Kinda sounds like "Friends"~~ Ross's issue!! He gave his ex away too! Thats just crazy!!

SOoooo Where are u going to live sweetie?? Have you looked at any apartments or anything yet?? GOOD LUCK!~ ~Hey Fitgirls right.. Texas is a lot cheaper!

Posted by: dvlmn666

I have no idea were I'm going to live. and well at lease Ross went on dates. This guy has been out here for 2.5 yrs and still hasn't had a single date. roflmao

I have to make some decisions soon. Other than you and FG i don't know anybody in TX though. So that would be even harder than if i decided to move to San Diego.

lol, yep it is. Quite weird.

Thanks I might have to increase the portions though, I'm hungry!! lol and have another hour til I can eat again.

Posted by: kuso

So how do you feel after your first no carb day??

I don`t hink I saw anything about fats in there....whats the stance on things like flax or fish oil??

One thing I thought......and it`s completely up to you if you`d like to try it now or after the comp.......but you are a high volume trainer.....some would say very high. Have you thought of going low volume for a little while? It may be a nice change, just to shock your body into some new growth. Higher weight........ mediumish rep range........and fewer sets.

Worth thinking about....though you do seem to be making some great progress as it is.

Posted by: dvlmn666

actually not that bad, a little tired. Could tell at the gym this morning though, just didnt' ahve alot of energy. But hopefully that'll all get better once I start the cycling part of it.

I was thinking about taking flax seed oil on the no carb days. But since TP did this same diet I'll ask him what he thinks about that idea.

thanks for the tip there Kuso

Yeah once I start running into more plateau's I'm planning on trying the low volume approach. Well that or if Jeff stops coming to the gym again. He keeps insisting on doin the higher reps and I guess it's easier to just go along with it. Even though I still stick in the 8-12 while he keeps in the 12-15 range.

But when I'm alone I'm going to try the lower volume higher weight aproach. When I do I'll ask you some questions and stuff since I think you've been doing it for a while now. At least I think I remember you mentioning it before.

yeah I know I have to go buy some. Probably tonight for tomorrow's low carb day.

Yes the rice was brown long grain. Got a huge bag at costco and made it in the steamer.

Chicken Tenders = Skinless chicken breast tenders. Costco 3lb bag. 1 serving = 3 tenders
1 serving = 120cals 0 carbs, 25g protein, and if I remember right no fat. I grill them either on the forman grill or thing grinlling thingy I got at the fair.

your not that far from san diego are ya?

Well here's the story. After the 4th I got home and my roommate tells me he's moving back to wisconson. Well I can't afford the place and don't know of anybody who would take the room so now I have to move. Up here rents are outrageous, an ok 1 bedroom right now is going for 1000-1500. Even studios are 750-1000.

Job wise this company is jacked but I already have another job lined up for after this one closes if it doesn't make it. However my pay there will be the same.

I've always wanted to move to San Diego, and well this is kind of a chance. Since a bunch of friends down there said i could stay with them until I got a job and place this may be the opportunity to move.

so options are basically.
1. Find a place here and barely squeek by but have a job
2. move to San Diego and find a job, but there living is more affordable.

i can't decide, but this other company makes me feel like i'm taking about a 3 yr step back in my life working for them to.

Any advice would totally be apreciated from everybody please.

oh yeah FG and P i forgot about fade and butterfly. Guess tehre are more texans on the board than I realized.

Posted by: dvlmn666

But the diet is going good. The cravings have calmed down so not cheating hasn't been as much of a problem to deal with, they were really bad last week.

and your right NG, I'm sure by this time next week it'll be much much better. Thanks for the support.

Posted by: nikegurl

i hear ya on the rents. that's how i ended up where i am now. the "valley" where i had been living reached a point where an average sorta small nothing special one bedroom was $950. nice ones $1200-$1400. pretty depressing.

so - i'm 60 miles north and love my apartment with a washer and dryer and it's much cheaper - 2 bdr for $700 and it's really nice. but the town sucks. messed up place.....

squeeking by is no fun & change is good! go for it! i had no idea san diego was reasonably affordable. it's a great place - i love it there!

Posted by: Princess

OUCH 110 for weeks.. girl.. I bet that is miserable!!

wow, now that's a crazy commute. But hey I can afford half yoru rent, ya need a roommate? sorry to hear the town sucks though.

yeah, my friends down there have shown me places that for like 800/month, and are like the 1500-1600 ones here. They are really nice and nice area.

i'm jealous, I've never gotten to have a washer/dryer in my apartment.

If I do move you'll have to come down sometime. Mission Beach is my favorite to go and just relax, that's were I got my tattoo as well.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrr i'm hungry for steak, but don't have a grill. And would go out for one, but I'm not gonna pay for all the other stuff and not eat it.

Maybe have to look for some beef jerkey instead.

Man that sucks to be you, I've got a nice fat ass T-bone thawing out right now for dinner, mmmmmm

can't wait to finish my workout and barbeque that bitch up

How's it going pal? seen your pics and the stomachs, coming along great , keep it up

Posted by: dvlmn666

thanks dude, how's it goin? How's the summer goin?

and after this new diet you'll be down a case of beer, which I'll need by then. lol

Posted by: irontime

hehehe, I don't know pal, I've been alcohol free for the majority of the summer, done a lot of cardio and I lost 15 pounds, My stomach has never looked better so I'll be looking forward to that nice cold beer, ah shit, I shouldn't have said that. I still have another three weeks to go before I'm allowed to drink and now I feel like a beer, damnit

Other than that, summer is goin allright. It's going really fast now and I only have a little over a month till I get back to college can't wait

My arms, stomach and legs are making awesome gains, but the torn ligament in my chest has shot my bench press down to hell, ah well

I'll get back up there, so what's new with you?

Posted by: dvlmn666

just workin. Might be moving to San Diego the end of next month. So might have to wait til I can get back online to see who gets the beer.

Awesome on the 15lbs and gains. The chest will come around in time again. Just make sure you let it heal completely.

hmmmm beer. not for me til after this diet is over. lol

oh gosh.. is canned chicken good sweetie???

YOUR DIET LOOKS FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: dvlmn666

actually yeah princess, the canned chicken is so much better than tuna. It's more expensive though. But a friend told me to try it, and they had it on sale at costco. Tastes really good.

thanks about he diet, **blushing**

Posted by: Princess

hmmm?? good to know! Thanks!
awwwwww I Made ya blush!!

cool!

Posted by: Twin Peak

Looking good so far DV! BUT WHERE THE HELL ARE THE VEGGIES??? Common man, you need that ruffage! Also, break up the rice, use some other carbs to -- potatoes and better yet oatmeal. Mix your vanilla isopure in oatmeal, I actually like it. Add a teaspoon of peanut butter on occassion and yum!

Can I comment on the workouts? You rely too much on smith and hammer machines. Do more free weights! If its b/c you don't have a spotter, ask someone on your real heavy sets! You can always do arms with freeweights! Back too. Etc.

Keep up the good work!

Posted by: dvlmn666

I know I have to start eating vegetables.

this week has sucked on the carb side as well. Working nights lately have kept me from being able to prepare food.

But starting saturday I'll go shopping again and get veggies and potato's.

I know I should use more freeweights, and I actually was when my training partner was out with shoulder problems. But he's been lifting for so long that he basically refuses to do the same routine twice in a row so we switch it up all the time.

But if I move to San Diego I'll be goin it alone and I'll base my routines on the free weights and cable work. I guess sometimes having a gym that has alot of machines can be a detriment I guess.

pineapple?

Posted by: dvlmn666

they were out of banana's, what else would you reccomend?

Posted by: Twin Peak

I'd limit the bananas too. I'd recommend blending almonds instead. Especially on low carb days. Good fruits for high carbs days include strawberrys, blueberries, apple, and there are probably one or two more that are okay.

Posted by: dvlmn666

ok cool thanks, I'll remember that for next week.

I like the weekly updates. You are one of the few who say they will do them and then do them! Keep up the hard work.

Hey there hotstuff!! Missed ya today!!!

Your looking damn good!!!

Hope you had a great weekend!! Your updates look very good!!! Keep up your diet and your right..that waist will drop soon!

Have a great night!!

Thanks, even when I'm not here if I move to San Diego I'll still update with pix and stats, they just may be posted a little later than that day.

This is the first time I've ever followed a diet outlined by somebody else. That's one of the reason I'm so interesting in keeping track weekly. It'll make it easier to ask questions, as well as to see what others notice about improvements or slacking off.

Posted by: dvlmn666

thanks princess, missed ya to.

The new place is horrible. No AC, heck we aren't even putting the cubes back together for a while.

I considering quiting after this week's paycheck, and moving to san diego early. And get a head start on finding a job there.

The sooner I can find a computer related job down there the sooner I'll be on at least some during the day. Well that or I've been considering trying to get a job at 24hr Fitness as a trainer, since they don't have to be certified there. (Then while doing that I can work on my ISSA certification I've started studying for) as well as make some contacts.

Whatcha think? Good or bad plan.

I hate this moving, missed a meal all because the president is an a$$hole and made me take the servers down at the end of the day and needed them running by morning in the new building, even though we don't even have a fuqin printer there yet.

Posted by: Twin Peak

Good day, very clean. On your carb days make sure you are getting in the ruffage!

Ballsy on the job move. Up and leaving w/o a job....damn! If you do it, make sure you've got the bucks in the bank in case it takes you a bit to find one. Can you make enough as a PT w/o the steady book of clients right away? Good idea though. You'll want to get and stay shredded however...you need the look to draw the clientel!

Posted by: dvlmn666

from what I learned when I worked graveyard front desk at 24hr, the trainers are paid hourly and scheduled to be on site 8hr/day. That's why I'm thinking about being a trainer for them until I can get certified, and then try to go on my own and get my own clients after that.

But yeah the money in savings is the part I'm working on at the moment, I have a side job designing financial reports that pays really well, and has helped me pay off almost everything, So it all goes to savings now.

The having to up and move is because I can't find a place that's even decent here for under $1000/month. And with my company on shakey ground, entering into any lease at that high of an amount worries me.

Yep salad today, and broccoli tonight.

Whats a buddy curl?

I think you need more volume for bis. Look at my routine today. Most would say its too much but for once a week and for my bis its just right!

Posted by: dvlmn666

Not sure if that's what they are really called, but basically you start at 3 reps and go to 10 and back down to 3. So each set increases by 1 until ten and then back down. The only break you get is the ammount of time it takes your training partner to do his set.

Did that make sense.

And yep I already printed the one from your journal.

gonna try that either next week or after I move. So you prefer to do arms all on one day? What kind of split do you do then?

Posted by: Twin Peak

Yeah I've done something like that before. I more fun challenge is at the end of a routine you grab a barbell you each can do about 10 for. Then you do 6 and pass it back and forth. You keep going until one of you can get 6. Loser gets a penalty, say an extra 20 reps!

For a while I have done arms together. I like it. My elbow are all warmed up from one to the other.

If you are going to print my workout the least you could do is post in my journal!!!!!!!

Right now my split looks like this:
M Chest and Shoulders
T Back
W Legs

Fr Arms

I am on "summer hours". After labor day my split will be
M Chest
T Back
W Legs

Fr Shoulders
Sat Arms

Over the years I have done about every split you can imagine. I only recommend once a week however IF you can train with the right intensity level. For example, I am usually still sore 4-5 days later!

Awesome idea.

And I will post in your journal I haven't been here that long yet. I just saw it so cut and pasted it to a word doc real quick.

oh another quick question. Do you do quads,hamstrings and calves all on the same day or do you throw the calves in on another day?

Posted by: Twin Peak

Usually all the same day but if I run out of time/energy, I'll do calves first at my next workout.

Just kidding about the post thing!

Posted by: dvlmn666

Cool, since I'll be starting training alone after I move to San Diego I'll probably be asking you more questions. And be able to try out more of your reccomendations.

So far I really like this diet. Days after my no carb days I don't feel like I'm lacking very much in energy like I expected to.

So are so good. I'm sticking with it.

Posted by: Twin Peak

Cool. Lost any weight/inches yet? Yeah, I never have energy issues either. When I start my mass routine, I will still cycle carbs just a higher amount and especially more good fats.

Posted by: dvlmn666

I've lost about 6lbs so far, but not inches. New measurements again on sunday though. Jeans are feeling loser this week.

Posted by: Twin Peak

Excellent!

Posted by: irontime

Sounds like your'e losing a lot buddy, right on!

Gotta love those loose fitting jeans, about two months ago I tried on a pair of jeans that I haven't been able to fit into since I was 15, the god damn things fit! That was a cool surprise.

I'll be logging as much as possible. But have a tough week coming up working both jobs for a bit. But I'll keep everybody updated. Today I find out if I"m going to move for sure or not. Everybody please keep your fingers crossed for me.

Posted by: Princess

*** MY FINGERS ARE CROSSED FOR YOU SWEETIE***

AND wow.. You ARE LOOKING GREAT!! Congrats!!!! I see lines in your tummy! Cool!!

KEEP UP YOUR HARD WORK! This diet is totally working for you!

Posted by: nikegurl

hi dvlmn. looking good! glad the diet is working out for you. cool how you can not feel totally exhausted on the low carb days isn't it? i think you're going to like training alone. no doubt there are benefits of a training partner but i like the benefits of being able to do exactly what is best for you when you train even more.

hope your week isn't TOO crazy.

Posted by: dvlmn666

well it's official I'm moving to san diego.

I'm workin on getting a contract with the side job to work for them remotely from there. So may not have to stay at my friends for long at all.

Thanks ng and P. Yeah I think the diet is working, just hoping I'll get to my goal. And soon I'll be training alone. But I know what your saying NG I did that while Jeff was hurt at the beginnign of the year.

Posted by: dvlmn666

My logging has sucked and will be bad until my move is over. But I'll do my best.

Quads:

6 sets Leg Extensions last 4 did like 21's, those burned like crazy
5 sets Leg Press
4 sets Sissy Squats

Posted by: Twin Peak

Where are the squats!!?!?!?!? Dv we need to discuss training once you are on your own! Good luck and congrats on the move. I'll post my chest workout from this morning later.

Posted by: dvlmn666

Sounds like a great idea there TP.

But I'm now not going to move til the end of October. The company decided they need me to install a new accounting sytem for there "new" company. So they are paying half the rent and all utilities for the 2 extra months. And then I'm off to San Diego, they figure after the 2 months they might actually let me work for them from down there.

But we'll see not sure if I want to work for them like that. But at least things are finally coming together. Since now I can finish up the side job and get there contract set up to work remotely for them. As well as save up quite a bit for when I do move.

Posted by: Twin Peak

Get your buddy to do squats and deads until them. Tell him to stop being a puss!

Posted by: dvlmn666

Well yesterday told him we should do deads since today was back day, and he went and avoided it the whole workout. lmao

Soon I'll be back on during the day and be logging everything again. The new place has dsl so I'll be able to be on more and have the time to log everything again.

Posted by: dvlmn666

The diet has only been about 80% of what it was before we moved.

We didn't have a fridge so I've been having problems getting enough meals in. Way to many protein drinks.

But the new place has a fridge so it's time to clean it all up again.

Posted by: dvlmn666

But pix on sunday again. We'll see, I haven't lost any weight and my strength is still going up actually. So we'll see, but I need to clean it up again. Gotta get those abs to show.

Posted by: dvlmn666

Workout:

Back:
3 sets Hammer Behind the Neck Iso Pulldowns
3 sets Pullups
3 sets Cybex Pulldown Machine
3 sets Seated Rows (Narrow Grip)
3 sets Row Machine
3 sets Hammer Iso High Row
3 sets single arm dumbell rows

Traps: (Normally throw these in with shoulders but felt like switching it up a bit)
4 sets Machine Shrugs (Used handles so arms were behind me like with behind the back barbell shrugs, made the shrugs more like squeezing right behind my neck with my traps)
3 sets Dumbell Shrugs (kept the dumbells on the front of my thighs)

Doing the shrugs the two different ways seems to work, I could feel the burn more twards the back of them on the first exercise and more twards the top on the second one.

Yeah I have a problem when I'm by myself were I take short breaks. And I felt really good today and was focused. And kind of overdid it. I can tell since I'm already sore, usually I don't get this sore this quick.

after I move I'm going to be asking you some questions to clean up my workouts if you don't mind TP.

Posted by: Twin Peak

Not at all, looks like your slimming down, nice job!

Waist is the same but chest is bigger and you gained 4 pounds...that works!

Posted by: dvlmn666

Thanks, I needed to hear that. I've been getting frustrated because of the job stuff and everything I've cheated here and there. But for the most part been staying as strict as I can. But was thinking I didn't have any progress this week.

And awesome I"ll have a ton of questions.

Posted by: irontime

Good luck with your move buddy, let us know how everything works out for ya

Posted by: Princess

HEY HONEY!!!!!!!

Posted by: dvlmn666

Thanks IT, I'm looking forward to it. I spend last weekend geting stuff ready. I have the new gym membership set up. Now just need work to make a few decisions for my trip next week. and I'll have everything ready for hte move. so I can concentrate on my diet and the gym again.

no pix this week

I forgot my stupid camera in SD. But will be going back next tuesday so there will be a 3 week gap. but nothing special since of the 3 week I'll only be able to be at the gym 1 week of it. I've stayed about 80% on the diet. But when I get back sept 2. It's back to hardcore and strict as ever.

Sorry TP about me slacking. But I've also decided I'm going to do this diet again probably around Jan or Feb. And go the whole 12 weeks super strict.

Hiya Princess, how are ya cutie?

Hi Lorraine, how's it goin? I'm alright just trying to staighten my life out again. I'm going to be moving to San Diego the end of october.

How have you been? Is the rest helping heal your wrist like planned?

Hope everything is goin great for you to.

4 sets Military Presses

3 sets Side Laterals
3 sets Reverse Pec Deck

Tri's:
4 sets Cable Skull Crushers
3 sets Hammer Dip Machine
3 sets Single Arm Reverse Grip Pressdowns

Posted by: lina

Hi dvlmn! Thought your journal was closed! So the move is end of October? Looking forward to it?

Why don't you post your weights? It helps me to track my strength

Posted by: dvlmn666

Nope not closed, I just have been to busy and most of the time dont' have internet at work anymore so logging and being around is rare. And it doesn't look to get much better until after I move.

I'm looking forward to it, San Diego is someplace I've wanted to live ever since the first day I visited the place.

I don't post my weights before from week to week it varies because Jeff my training partner never wants to stick to a workout or training routine, so we change the exercises and order of them every week. After I move I'll start keeping track of the weights.

TP already said he'd help me figure out a good routine to try since I'll be training alone them and will be able to do whatever I need to to make the things work.

But I'll try to start keeping track just for you.

Hey there!

Yes, my wrist is healing. Learning different skills that don't impact my wrist so much in the mean time. Getting next year's competitions planned out and such. There so much more planning to Fitness comps. than BB comps. Geesh!

Well, good luck with the move...it can be a pain, but at least it's somewhere that you want to move to.

Posted by: irontime

Hey buddy

Well I'm back, so how was the ripping up over the summer for ya? I think I made one hell of an improvement and so do a lot of people as you can actually see stomach muscles.....without holding down the flab

that's a shocker eh?

Posted by: dvlmn666

hey dude, welcome back. and awesome job.

I improved but not as much as you from the sounds of it. :P

Oh well, just means I'm down a case of beer.

So you around for the school year now?

Posted by: irontime

Yup, just got back a few days ago. I'll put up pics as soon as I can but I'll have to wait a week or two. It would look kind of suspicious if I borrowed the digi-cam to use for an assignment when we just got back

Posted by: dvlmn666

roflmao uhhh yeah, that would raise a few questions. lol I got my camera again, i'll probably put some up sunday again. But the last month the diet has been off. but I'm back to it, just working way to much

Posted by: dvlmn666

well no pix

last thrusday:

chest:

4 sets Flat bench Hammer Strength Iso
3 sets Peck Deck
3 sets Incline Press
3 sets Cable Crossovers

Posted by: dvlmn666

shiat, I cant' remember what we did for exercises on friday. But I remember we were short on time so dropped the number of sets to 2/exercise, but increased the weight big. I like the new intensity that created and ended up being more sore than when we do 4 sets of everything.

Hehe yeah we'll be waiting for you to track those weights! No wonder you couldn' remember what you did if your routine varies. I wouldn't either. I guess that's the fun and non boring part is that you have a training partner and you can mix and match your workout! You'll have to find a new partner when you move then!

Posted by: dvlmn666

Nah when I move I'm gonna go by myself for a while, and see how I do.

But you never know, we'll see if somebody shows up every day and we just kinda end up working out consistently. Otherwise I'm planning on getting even more serious, and yes then I'll start logging my weights.

Even though I'm a wimp compared to most around here. But I'll catch up. I know I can and will.

How have you been?

Posted by: lina

I've been good busy

! Today is my daughter's first day of school so I can hang around for 2 hours and play. My son went back last week. The house is sure quiet without them though...

Don't worry bout comparing yourself with others around here because there is always someone who can push/pull more... it's your journal...

Posted by: dvlmn666

I know, but I use that comparing as a way to push myself harder. It's not in a bad way, just a mental way to push myself that extra. (not sure if that made sense)

Wow, sounds cool you get to have a few hours to relax with no kids, after the whole summer it must feel good.

Posted by: irontime

Hey buddy, just decided to log on as I will be unable to for a couple of days. Decided to go to Edmonton and see the 'Slayer' and 'In Flames' concert, you know, just for kicks

You've heard of 'In Flames'? Right on, most people haven't heard of them and I only have the one CD 'Clayman' which absolutely kicks ass. I heard that this is their first tour in Canada so I'm glad to be there for this.

And if Slayer is as good on stage as they are in CD, then this will be one kick ass show.

Posted by: dvlmn666

whoops i read it wrong. roflmao, thought you said that's why you weren't here over the weekend. lol

Yeah, a freind of mine had me listen to there stuff once, and kinda got hooked.

The 3 times I've seen slayer they were just as good as there cd's. and the one place the sound wasn't the best, but they still sounded like there cd.

heck, i'm not sure if they have ever been to the US, I've heard of them touring with US bands over in europe before but never here.

That's what I've heard. They were on 'Much music' on the heavy metal hour and they said that they have never been to North America. Hell, I had to wait two months to get their CD 'cause it wasn't available in NA.

guess they had a change of heart.

we don't have Much Music

all we have is the MTV crap.

Posted by: irontime

Trust me, your better off with MTV. All we get is one hour a week of heavy metal

Posted by: dvlmn666

Other than MTV X and sometimes MTV 2. we have no heavy metal.

damnnnn I miss my Headbangers Ball.

when I was in college it was 2 hrs of pure heavy metal video's. And it ran at midnight saturday night, and then was replayed at 4am sunday morning. So we'd party til 4 then all go watch MTV til morning then slept all day sunday. lmao

I'm great..ready to go home!!! I did have a great weekend, thanks!~ ~did you?? HOW ARE U???

Posted by: dvlmn666

P. you can't go home yet. Soon though for you. I still have plenty of work ahead of me.

My weekend was alright, worked both days, but went to see XXX at the IMAX theatre up in Dublin. Now that was cool and totally awesome.

I don't really have any weekends until I move, I have every single one of them booked to work. But since I've been putting in all the nights as well, I have made them agree to only have me work from 8-4 on the weekends. I'm seriously thinking I need a vacation once I move. lol

oh yeah, thanks for the help on the questions I'd sent ya. If you hear of somebody who deals with loans of that type could ya please let me know.

Whatcha workin tonight at the new gym?
