The Meltdown - Pylon's Journal V 3.1

Pylon · 10-18-2006, 07:11 PM

Hey y'all...

Not posting, but not ducking the numbers. Was at the game last night (cards-mets, great game!) Played racketball tonight. Not enough sleep...really tired. Will post numbers....um...at some point, I promise...

Triple Threat · 10-18-2006, 07:51 PM

3, 15, 82, 9. There. I posted some numbers for you.

Pylon · 10-21-2006, 04:32 PM

Thanks, Trips. Big help.

Greetings to everyone from sunny SF, CA! I never posted my details from the last w/out, and I don't have my book with me, so I will get to it when I get home.

Got in a short w/out here before dinner. the hotel has a universal station, so I did 3 laps of a circuit, rep count of 20, 15, 10, increasing the weight each round. After w/u, did cable curls, leg ext, GC palm down pulldowns and prisoner squats. Minimal rest, was targeting failure with the wieght for each. Did pretty good on guessing, considering the plates weren't really marked. Not bad for a quick w/out before dinner.

Pylon · 10-22-2006, 07:50 AM

I'm reading a book called "The Speed of Trust", and how you can build credibility in business. It starts with self-credibility. One of the things he mentions, in fact, is telling himself he would w/o in the morning, but then hitting snooze. He mentions being honest enough with himself to either change his alarm or his plan or both. I though about that last night while telling myself I would get up and run. I've been short on sleep the last week (thanks, Cards!) so really needed the extra Zs. I moved the alarm back an hour with a promise to do an in room w/o when I awoke...

3x circuit - 10 reps each - prisoner squats, crunches, pushups, dips

So, I got the sleep, did the work I promised myself I would do, and am ready to start the day feeling pretty good. I think I make promises to myself I have no intention of actually doing, but the promise sounds good. I'll have to keep a closer eye on that.

By the way, how 'bout them Cardinals? Can I get an Amen?

Double D · 10-22-2006, 07:54 AM

I was just getting ready to ask you how about those Cards?!?! Isnt that fuckin awesome!!!! Up 1-0 and thier worst pitcher just pitched like cy young. Unbelievable!!!!!!! I think the pitching is rubbing off.

Pylon · 10-22-2006, 09:33 PM

Well, not as good a game tonight, but that's ok. Just needed the split in D, now we come home. It's all good.

For myself, did ok on food, got some extra work by walking to dinner. It's about 2 miles. (I took a cab back.)

Archangel · 10-23-2006, 02:55 PM

Whats up BRother Pylon, I'm with you....... I'm ecstatic that they split!!! I am however shocked that they did NOTHING about the pine tar on his hand!!!

Double D · 10-25-2006, 04:25 PM

My good friend has tickets to the game tonight! I hate rich people!

Well fellas 2-1 right now need a big win tonight that way we dont have to depend on Reyes!!! That would be pretty crappy.

Pylon · 10-28-2006, 11:44 AM

Well, looks like things are going to settle down a bit now that the WS is over. I'm done with travel for a bit, so I'm planning on getting back into my normal gym routine. (I feel like I've been saying that a lot...) But I mean it this time. Promise.

Archangel · 10-29-2006, 08:29 AM

Glad its all over myself, getting little sleep is a killer on the w/o's!!! Best Wishes to you, and GO CARDINALS!!! "World Series Champions", Man that sounds and looks GOOD!!!

gwcaton · 10-29-2006, 08:24 PM

PY,

whats going on in here ?

Triple Threat · 10-31-2006, 06:22 PM

Pylon · 11-02-2006, 11:24 AM

OK....

I've gotten in a nasty rut, and not sure how to dig myself out. I have found myself repeating the same pattern for the last 2 weeks or so. Each morning I leave with the intent of heading to the gym at lunch, then lunch rolls around and I'm either busy/hungry/tired, so I promise to do cardio at home (can you see where this is going?), then am tired when I get home, and by the time the boy is in bed, I don't feel like doing cardio, so I promise I will hit the gym the next day.............

I'd like to say I've at least kept my diet in check, but that isn't really true either. I don't know if it is the weather, new job, or what....but it sucks.

Suggestions?

gwcaton · 11-02-2006, 12:32 PM

workout before you go to work , thats what all the great ones do

hey...I resemble this remark!

Pylon · 11-05-2006, 10:16 PM

sorry, no way the AM will work. It's either lunch or evening.

The good news is I got in cardio tonight (45 min). I also got my heavy bag back up, which got me feeling a little better.

b_reed23 · 11-06-2006, 11:22 AM

I'm having the same motivation problems PY, just keep keeping on

Archangel · 11-06-2006, 03:12 PM

Can I recommend a Fullbody HIT routine 2 times a week, lunch would be great if you have the time!!! Hang in there BRother Pylon, we ALL go through this my Friend!!!

DeadBolt · 11-06-2006, 03:16 PM

Hang tuff bud we feel your pain!

Pylon · 11-06-2006, 09:41 PM

Thanks everyone.

Arch, the problem isn't time. The problem is motivation!

At the very least, I'm trying to get better. 45 min again tonight of cardio. 2 in a row!

Archangel · 11-07-2006, 06:13 PM

Motivation huh??? Anything I can do to help??? Don't forget we need to get together for some raquetball my Friend!!!
