Thanks, Dev! (I got the IM last night...didn't hear you chime in...was watching M*A*S*H )

ok...I go thte 'green light' from the boss this am...I CAN take off and go to the gym for lunch, and then stay later to get in my 8 hours. So, I have my bag in the car and will head out around 11 am.
Today is as good as any to start my split, and finish up Friday...then start fresh on Monday.
Now...to force myself to wake up and actually do cardio...

Thanks for all the kind words, all....I was feeling sorry for myself. I am past that.
I think I am gonna take one of my little nieces to go see Ice Age 2 next weekend.

ok..it's gonna feel gooood to get under the weights again...but damn...it's gonna suck to see how much strength I've lost...I'm not even gonna push it anyway, so I get the feel of it again....
I hate startig over....but oh well...

What's that old chinese proverb: The journey of a thosand miles begins with a single step.

Glad to hear your out of the slump!

Kick ass man!

No worries about the strength loss bro....how do you think I felt after I took so much time off with my shoulder? My weights went to shit but now look at me! I am setting PRs all the time....you will get back into the groove in no time!

Hey you better wake up and start doing this shit! Give me your phone # and I'll call you every damn morning until you wake the hell up! Its time you get back into the gym....you'd be surprised how much that helps you mentally and how focused your life becomes when you stay consistant in the gym!

You're absolutely right NT! I think it's the closeness that we all feel to each other. We've all been together for probably about 8 years now - depending on those of us that came from the old site...remember that??

Mike honey, things always get worse before they get better. But sooner or later, you always end up realizing that you're being called for one thing or another. I am a firm believer that the Lord will always take care of you. Keep believing in what you think is right and keep working towards what you want -- doors may close, but doors will open.

Like Dev said, are there things you'd do differently? Probalby. But would you still end up where you are? Probably. You have to embrace your mistakes and your choices, otherwise, you would've never learned how to make things right!

XOXO

Dev,

I know...thanks brotha-
T-minus 2 hours, 20 minutes for the workout.

You're so right! And just look at your sig! People who produce outstanding results do specific things to create those results: those specific things speak to you in the way of "first steps"

when do I get my clone of you? I'm impatient...

Oh by the way...you and I will be working out together today. I'm working out at 11 too!

okay kids...hold on to your drawers....I....went...to...the...gym!!!
WAHOO! 1st time in what...4 weeks?
It was everything I thought it was gonna be...but, I will remain positive...I went.
It was an easy workout to get used to it again and kept my reps in the 10 range.
I went over my time to work ot: leave work, go to gym, go home, get cleaned up and back to work within time. I may have to stick with the one body part per day. I am gonna have to time my workouts. (sound like archie now)
so..without further ado...

Did I do the Song o' the Week yet?

I have to go to the bank..might...have to make a quick stop to stave my hunger....

Kissing like a bandit stealing time
Underneath the sycamore tree
Cupid by the hour sends valentines
To my sweet lover and me
Slowly
Surely
Yours appetite is more than I know
Sweetly
Softly
I'm falling in love with you

CHORUS:
Wish me love a wishing well to kiss and tell
A wishing well of butterfly tear
Wish me love a wishing well to kiss and tell
A wishing well of crocodile cheers

Hugging like a monkey see monkey do
Right beside a riverboat gambler
Erotic images float through my head
I wanna be your midnight rambler
Quickly
Quickly
The blood races through my veins
Quickly
Loudly
I wanna hear those sugar bells ring

CHORUS

thanks-
the weights were low..(expected) but I tried to keep breaks at about 1 - 1.5 minutes

Keeping time...I'm going to be: 'Archie'ized'

Great job getting back into the gym and working out The weights don't matter. You worked out thats what matters.

This is just another example of your determination. You haven't been for a while, but have taken steps that will allow you to go without excuse.

Good work man!

I"m THE MAN! er..I mean...thanks, Steve...

(I'm on a roll today...)

speaking of which..some pesonal thoughts:

was'sup, ma jigga!
bling bling! pinky ring!
We (ok..when I say 'we'...I mean ME..) here at work just thought up a new marketing niche: Nerd Bling.
Yep, you heard it hear first. Chrome, silver, gold, and platinum dipped CPU chips on chains, yo!
it'll be off the hook!
It'll be the shizzle, my nizzle!
Put your orders in now! Start the trend! Support your inner nerd life style!
(I LOVE caffeine!)

How 'bout those friggin GAS prices????? Someone said they think it may go up to 4.00/gallon this summer?!?!? um..hello...mr. bush...Mr. President, sir? We um..just helped liberate an OIL RICH country....and are on fairly good terms with their new government...WHY ARE GAS PRICES STILL GOING UP???? (while oil companies are boasting profits of a BILLION dollars! I have nothing against making money...I try that myself, but be FAIR about it...just my .02 worth
oh..I'm sorry...you've been too busy to take care of the people who believed in you and have kept you in office for two terms....'cause you are thinking of NUKING another muslim country....way to go, sport. You've got two middle eastern messes going on, getting my fellow Americans killed and spending my hard earned tax dollars...instead of finishing those 'little' items..you want to go start WWIII....didn't your mamma tell you to finish one project before starting another??I am almost looking forward to putting Hilary back in office...everybody's afraid of her...think of it, would YOU want to spend more than 5 minutes with her? She may just be the anti-christ...she may be what we need!

These are some of the things I'd like to ask my President...AND I AM A REPUBLICAN!!!! (oh! AND! why alcohol and tobacco..both which directly or indircetly kill thousands of people every year is allowed to go on...yet he bans over the counter supplements that can help people achieve a better, leaner, more muscular physical self? BRILLIANT!)

well, back to the design center....this nerd bling is gonna be HUGE!

...oh, and I am a bit sore today....I luv it!

Oh my gaaawwwd, you got me rollin' over here dawg!
Bling, bling, pinky ring....aaaaahhhhh you're killing me

--Rollin' round - Georgia Brown
Sweep yo woman right off of her feet.
(oh sorry)

Oh honey...don't even start with the conspiracies! Yeah, he's too busy to deal with gas prices, he's too busy rammin' drones into the twin towers!

Honey, don't start with the healthcare system either! healthy people can't get a break on healthcare costs, but eat a Big Mac and get real fat and then sue and you're an instant MILLIONAIRE!! I'm still scratchin' my head over that shit.

well, he didn't cause 9/11, but he has failed in some areas, definately. AND I VOTED FOR HIM! (of course, there was really nobody else to vote for, so that was an easy choice...a lesser of two evils)

gonna go riding this weekend?
