DaMayor's DaDamaged, but not Da feated

DaMayor · 07-13-2006, 03:19 PM

Okay, here we go again.

DaMayor · 07-13-2006, 04:05 PM

Okay, so now I'm forty....I probably have more metabolic issues than most, I've a small herniated area, NOT a full blown hernia, just one with potential. My diet is relatively healthy, yet not currently being monitored closely as in the past. I've recently minimalized my caffeine intake and gone back to nothing but water. And while this may seem trivial, it has made a world of difference. So now, I'm debating on whether or not to start working out now, or wait until I see my doctor on the 24th. I'm really missing the gym, but I'm trying to be smart here, which, for those of you who know me, is a very difficult task.

I'll re-check my stats tonight if possible.....still have a dinner crowd to feed.

In my opinion I would do some low intensity workouts to start. Some stationary bike and some slow paced treadmill. I would check with the doc before going balls to the wall. Best of luck to ya bud.

That was what I had in mind. As much as it will drive me crazy, I'm going to have do lift 25-30% of what I would normally do, but only after I worked my way back in slowly. Even if there is no pain initially, I will have to be careful.
Thanks!

Double D · 07-13-2006, 04:47 PM

Its alright buddy gotta start somewhere. I probaby wouldnt touch a weight until given the ok by the doc. Temptation is to much to start pushing more weights once you pick up a weight.

Hey man....just working my ass off trying to develop this restaurant deal.

Man, this wait to return to the gym is killin' me!

Holy Crap!! One of my favorite IM members hath returned. How are you Da'Mayor?

Whassssup Funk!

Dude, you've grown considerably since I first crossed paths with you. Good job,man!

I, on the other hand, have deflated considerably....but that ain't all bad.

You've heard about me? Frightening to think what that might be about.

DaMayor · 08-23-2006, 01:41 PM

Be right back.....Gotta change that avatar.....

**P-funk** · 08-23-2006, 01:48 PM

So, are you going to update this thing regularly now?

DaMayor · 08-23-2006, 02:25 PM

Yes, I hope to. Time is always a problem, but if I don't get back into the groove soon I'm afraid I won't at all.

I will post some stats as soon as I take a few measurements, and I will post my diet plan as soon as I figure out, or decide, (or am otherwise instructed by wise "problematic" holistic-trainer-guru-chick) what I want to do with this old rusty body of mine.

Hi Shithead!

I must say, I took a quick glance at your gallery, Jodi. You're looking impressive as well.

Got some junk in the trunk now.

DaMayor · 08-23-2006, 03:06 PM

Okay, these were my stats from June of '03...

Da Stats......

Age: 37
Height: 5'-10"
Weight: 235-238lbs. (was ~240+ in January) [this was actually more like 248]
BF- To update asap.
Neck-~17.5"
Chest-~48"
Bi's-~17.5"
Waist-~38"
Quads-~27.5"

Not really that big.... but big wasn't my goal. And while I would love to be a monster for a day, at 40 years old I think it wiser to go for fairly large and mostly lean.

Trouble · 08-23-2006, 03:35 PM

Got your email. I'm here.

You ready to get started?

(oh yeah, almost forgot..I'm going to introduce you to friend of mine, Les. He;s going to go thru a similar transition; he's an Asian chef in London. He and I see some business potential in slating business a certain way... I'll talk to you about it via email)

Yep. It is time.

Just keep in mind how stretched I am for time these days.....and how damn tired I am. Not to sound whiney, but this 14 hour a day/six day a week thing is starting to catch up with me.

Although I know training will help alleviate some of the stress,fatigue, brain fog, yada yada yada.

I'm cashed.
Tomorrow we plan for the future.

Not the way I intended for it to sound.

I'm very impressed with the progress you have made. Great work.
(Now, doesn't that sound better than,"nice ass, Jodi!" ?)

Alright, I e-mailed you something. A very lengthy, drawn-out, txt. something.

Let me go to the mall to buy a new spandex body suit and a pink lifting belt and we'll get this show on the road again.

Trouble · 08-24-2006, 03:38 PM

Got it. I'm similarly stretched for time right now. Will answer as best I can..

(Sean is in line ahead of you, sorry).
