Hey Dave!
The move went well my friend. Thanks for asking.
We've been here about 5 weeks now and my main concentration has been on finding work. Nuthin' yet but I'm still pounding the market and hopeful that something will turn up soon.
I finally got my shit together last week in regards to my training routine and today marks the beginning of my next bulk routine.
I'm going to start a new journal too so this one will be retired.
I'm going to finish my job search for this morning and then do Day 1 of this weeks training. After I'm finished I'll start up the new journal. See you guys then!

Still jobless? Man, I think I should write a sit-com about two unemployed guys, both talented, highly skilled, and naturally at 9%BF with little or no effort or gym time....We would star in it, of course. I imagine it would be about two unemployed yet likeable bums who spend their collective time sitting around, drinking beer and watching football while coming up with creative ways to keep their spouses from nagging them to death. I think I'm on to something.

I think I will be starting a new journal as well. The old one is...well, old.

You're definitly on to something DM.
I would watch this for sure.
Then again.. anything is better than Judge Judy and Oprah.

Uh Oh, Dude, we need to get you a job soon....You're turning into a HOUSEWIFE!

Okay, so now I'm getting a little worried.

Either you've found employment in a computer-less environment, or you are so entertwined in the Oprah and the Soaps that you need therapy.

Wow is this a journal or just some love talk between you and DM !!
Sheesh

I'm sorry guys...
I actually did start on my new routine. I haven't had a chance to start my new journal or log my diet and exercises just yet though.
I have been so tied up with my job search. I've resorted to a couple recruiters now and Have had to drive out to Seattle and Tacoma to meet with them. Bunch of clowns if you ask me but hey, if they can get me in the door for an interview, I'll put up with thier arrogance.

Basically, I've started 3 days of training a week doing a push/pull routine and eating between 2800-3000 calories. I really gotta get back to logging it all in though because it keeps me on schedule for one and also, you guys will eat me alive if I slack off! Not that I mind that of course, it's one of the benefits of the journal. You IM'rs have no tolorance for lazy asses!
(I'm just glad juggie hasn't showed up to put a cyber foot in my ass yet!)

I'll do my best to get that new journal going and get some detail and specifics posted but just so you guys know, the only slacking off I'm doing now is on the posting. And no Jenny. Marc's a great guy and all... but no WAY will there ever be love talk. Besides.. with hotties like you around.. it's a wonder gay men exist at all!

LMAO at ^ comment about gay men.

Job search....a likely excuse, pffft. But hey, my Sister lives near Tacoma, and has her own on-line business. She might hire you....Do you know anything about the healing properties of crystals?
Either way, good luck with the employment quest...I know it has to be frustrating. But there's always a slot somewhere in the tech world...you'll find it.

Oh yeah, ditto on the love talk no-go.....I think Jen's just having fantasies again.....She likes to watch, y'know. She's such a Freeeeeaak.

You suck man! I was really excited there for a second! Although, pretty soon I'll be willing to learn all about those crystals. Shoot in another month I'll be riding a bike through the neighborhood delivering news papers!

Thank you my friend. I'm sure it will come sooner or later too. Let's just hope it comes before our reserve funds have been exhausted.

Hope those recruiters do the trick, FMJ. Wishing you success in your job search!

Whats happened to FMJ????????

Hey all!

I apologize to all of my friends here on IM. Of course, there's no excuse for abandoning you guys... but here's my excuse.
Ahhem... Ahhem. (clearing my throat)

I FINALLY landed a job!

I just finished my 4th week working for the Wash State Employees Credit Union as a network technician. It's been quite awesome to be working again and not a moment too friggin soon either. We were almost broke! lol
Surprisingly enough, I haven't completely stopped training though I have to be honest, I have been having a real hard time adjusting from morning training to evening training. Trying to find the motivation and energy to train after work has been very challanging, I'm not gonna bullshit you guys. I'm lucky if I get two good days in a week. I know, I am ashamed of myself too but I feel like if I just keep doing what I can, as little as it is, I'll get my shit straight and get consistant again. My diet has been very dicipline however, and I still have good strength and BF levels. I'd say I'm back at about.. maybe 13, 14 percent? Still sporting a 4 pack at least!
Not too shappy for such slacking! I have to get back to coming up here too because I believe surrounding myself with like minded folks will help me get motivated. Thanks dave for pulling up this dead thread. It made me take the first step.
Hey, Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I miss you son of a bitches!
Oh, and don't tell juggie I called him a son of a bitch!

That's my update for now folks. I will be back soon!

Good to see you back, great news on the job

A JOB? A likely excuse, pfffft.

Although I too have been slacking....Oh don't act so shocked. Even the most genetically gifted such as myself have to take a break ever now and again.

Good to see you back, Bank Boy.

Holy smokes! Look what the tuna dragged in!
What the hell?? Where you been?
I thought I was bad!

Glad to hear you landed a job, and you are back! You are back aren't you?

Most definitly! I won't be on multiple times a day like I was when I was an unemployed loser. But now that I'm a loser with an income I will be on a few times a week. Now that the initial stress of trying to make a good impression at the new job is over, I've been tightening down on my training again.
Last night I was able to squeeze in 185# flat bench for 3 sets of 6, 3 sets of bodyweight pullups for 6 and finished with some dips and bent rows.
Tonight I plan to do some shoulder and leg work. I'd like to get in at least three good nights a week until I'm routine enough to start a bulk cycle.
So yeah, not back full stride but I'm creeping back.

FMJ loves his 6 reps , get your workout posted bud i need something to aim for

Are you really trying to aim that low Dave?
I should be aiming towards your routine with the shit you're posting!

Okay, somebody needs to locate this slacker and whip him into shape.



SLACKAHHH!

its true.

I slack, grossly.

Help me dude! I CANNOT get my shit together!
I lost 6 pounds because my diets been so half-assed!

I've been trying to keep myself "into it" but I honestly haven't done a decent workout in weeks! I've been doing little shit here and there but without everything clicking, I'm just delaying the inevitable.

I need to get consistant.
