The Return of G-Dub !

Ok, time to leave the land of the slackers and get my old ass back in the saddle again.

I have let the back rest 6-8 weeks now and can not sit still any longer. There will probably be several things I won't be able to do but I'll cross that bridge or find another way to where I want to be when I get to that point.

Primary goal , get rid of the gut I aquired over the past couple months. Guess I better dust off the stationary bike :rolleyes: and get the diet back inline .

Have decided to stick with the P/RR/RR/S that I started before the ruptured disc. Will start with RR and do chest/bi's .

The return starts 10-9-05 . Hope to see all my regular buds visiting my journal and meet some new members too.

See ya in the A.M. :wave:
