History? What do you want to do, teach? Listen, it is awesome that you are in school. I went right after high school and it still took me over four years to finish. My husband was in a band after high school, and didn't go to school till much later, and graduated at 30. So don't feel bad. You are doing the right thing.

By the way, I don't like Aberfoyle Springs water.

????? Ok, if you insist.

Yes I am going into teaching. I know it sounds odd, but I was on the pipeline and living in a basement suite of a teacher. My days off were during the week so my girlfriend was working and I didn't have too much else to do so I went and helped him out. I loved it. After pissing around in a few other jobs and a messy breakup I decided to go back to school, and here I am Thanx for the support

Hey dude, glad you went back. You better grow your hair back though, otherwise all your students will be afraid of you. lol j/k

But anyway cool choice, and glad you got to see what it was like before you decided. Sometimes that takes a while to figure out.

You'll do good, plus you have another 2.5 yrs of partying and studying ahead of you. Don't rush it, just have fun.

This is what I am drinking today. We bought a pack of it this past weekend because it was on sale. But I think it tastes funny.

Crazy canadians.

Ya I am having fun dvlmn, it is probably more fun for me because I was out there for a couple of years and I know what it's like to work for your food and bills and pay rent every month. I still do pay for everything but it seems a lot less expensive while in college, plus it's a blast so I'm loving it.

So that's what you're talkng about Miss Ledix, I was a little confused there, that was hard to do eh?

Had a pretty good workout today, went to a bigger gym and took the two guys I'm training with me. It was getting a little annoying as they weren't used to the new equipment and exercises so it went pretty slow so I'll end up doing abs at home.

Didn't do much cardio but I'll walk to work tonight so that will help. At least work tonight should be better than last night. Last night we had 'Honeymoon Suite' and 'Rik Emmet' playing. Boy, am I ever glad they had all the bouncers there for that show. You know how rowdy the crowd gets when Honeymoon Suite hits the stage, lol.

We're not supposed to know who those bands are, right? I take it you work at a bar or club or something? What do you do there?

I'm a bouncer at a night club. It fits the hours of school quite nicely and it's a fun job while I'm here so what the hell

And I know damn well you know who those bands are

Bouncer? At a night club? Your puny ass? Just kidding!

Very cool. I was a waitress at a 'dance club/meatmarket' for a while. It was neat at the time. Hooters outfits and everything!

Cool! Got any pics?

It is a fun job at times, can get kind of shitty though. For the year 2001 the bar I work at was rated #1 roughest bar in Canada for 4 months of the year. It was kind of crazy, this year has slowed down a lot.

Nope, no pics. kuso already asked for some. That was before I had a digital camera. Here's the link to the club's site:

No pics of me there either. It was over five years ago when I worked there.

Thanx bro, Next week I'm gonna try for a big jump on chest. The dumbells they have go from 125lbs and it jumps to 145lbs with nothing inbetween. Next week I'm gonna try the 145. I'm honestly not very confident about it but I may as wel give it a go. What's the worst that can happen? Well besides permament injury

that looks like a pretty cool place to work Miss LD, mine's nothing close to that.

dude, just make sure you bring both of your guys, and have both spot you. That's a nasty jump. The ones at ours go up to 180. I've never once seen anybody even try to even lift them off the rack lol.

But just a word of advice, if when you first start them it doesn't feel right, then just go lower.

Also as the one trainer was telling me. Get a spot to get them up, and slowly do negatives with them. After a workout or two that way with that weight, he said getting fulls sets will be no prob.

good luck dude.

Thanx for the advice bud I don't think I want both guys spotting me as if one of them starts to spot and the other doesn't that could really mess me up. I don't think it should be a big issue though. That's the great thing about dumbells, if you can't do it, drop em.

i didn't mean one for each arm, that's be nuts. I meant that would make sure you had good recovery between the warm up sets and that main heavy set. lol

That would be all jacked up if one spotted and the other didn't.

And yep, good point about just dumpin em if there's a prob, just make sure they don't hit your buddies foot. roflmao

Well I have to admit that I like this competition thing. I woke up this morning, reset my alarm for another hour and decided to go back to bed. I lied down and all I could think of was the little bit of time I had left for our competition and it made me get my ass out of bed and go run. So I did do my run this morning, didn't do any abs yet. I'll do them after the stepper this afternoon.

Hi IT, have you started doing your cardio on an empty stomach in the morning like I have? It seems okay so far.

I like the competition, too! I want to see all post-competition pics!

I am doing it on an empty stomach. I actually prefer it as I normally don't eat breakfast and when I tried having something before I ran I usually felt a little bit sick so I'm glad for all the suggestions, thanx for the input

Well just did the stepper and some abs. It went very well, I'm thinking about upping the stepper time.

Just a quick vent. Last semester I had two classes with this one teacher and he had a major project in each class. Both projects I did the night before they were due and I recieved an 87% and a 92%. This semester I have the same guy for one of my classes and again he had a major project due. I actually worked for weeks on the damn thing. Did a report AND a poster on it and had it done a few days before it was due. I got it back today for a goddamn 52% Luckily the bastard said I could rewrite the report with a few changes that would up my grade dramatically. i'm just having a hard time believing this shit and needed to vent. Thanx guys.

I have a feeling that by the time we are done all of our competitions and by the time I actually get up to sunny california that we are going to get majorly tanked

I don't have that problem with it being busy over here. Luckily Every one here is still too lazy to admit that they are out of shape so they leave the gym alone

Right now I'm trying to look at the bright side of that assignment, that he is letting me make changes to it and hand it in again. I was just in major shock when I seen that. It almost killed my attitude this afternoon but having a good workout seems to make everything a little bit better so that's good. Hey, how about that. Something pissed me off and I didn't drink to feel better. Wow, hope that doesn't happen to often

uh oh, is this a new IT? lol j/k

but hey gotta keep goal in mind. Hate to see you forfeit to me that easily.


and hey, who said we weren't gonna be getting tanked down here. Sure as hell sounds like a plan to me.

hmmm, ok what are the rules to this new one for after the summer.

irontime

How about we have our pics that we will be taking at the end of this contest as the before pics for our next contest. And when I get back (Early September) We take new pics and see who made the most improvement from their old? (Did any of that make sense?)

Started the day off right. Was at the gym by 6:15 and did 3 miles. Followed by a half decent ab workout. I'll do the stepper after arms today and get in some more abs.
