Good news on the work. How's that gym time working out?

heh...me too...
Hiya Sam!
this week was crap. I was doing a site survey all week at Cheyenne Mtn Air Force Station (NORAD)
was gone all day, didn't know what time I'd be getting out of there...

BTW: I got to look around the basic structures of the complex. Pretty cool.
There is a no photography rule, so couldn't take in my phone to snap pics.
If any of you like to watch the movie Star Gate, or the TV show, SG-1, someone had some 'fun' and put a placard on a door that says: SG-1 Entry Portal. (its actually a broom closet, but looks funny)
I'm going to my PT on tues and thurs a couple more weeks.

It will be done!

nope.
remember: military: = lowest bidder. Built by the US Navy. Looks kinda like a ship inside.
The TV stuff is crap. Only 3 levels, all man-made buildings. None of those multi-level sub floors they have on TV. In the one outside building, they have a cut away of the mountain complex. Pretty cool stuff.

If u remember the movie: War Games with Matthew Broderic in the 80's? Hollywood went into NORAD, saw what the actual Comm Center looked like, thought it was too boring, so they made up their own to look cool...

ok...I went last night. I even went INSIDE and worked out last night!

Nothing really worth writing about. My focous for the night was to lte my body remember what a weight was.
I'm in such horrible shape right now...am just gonna have to take it easy a few weeks, let the body get used to the stress of it again and pray muscle memory kicks in...'cause the weighhts i used last night....sucked.

Chest:
Bench Press:
135*10, 135*10, 135*10, 135*10, 135*10

Incline Bench Press:
135*9, 135*6, 135*7, 135*8, 135*7

** did my best to keep my rest to a minute.
** a little annoyed the inclines weren't doing any better...maybe should have dropped the weight...but my ego couldnt handle going any lighter...

** this afternoon is legs. Just gonna do 5-6 sets of light weight squats
** have a meeting w/ my PT at 4:30. just gonna be about nutrition and probably hook me up w/ their calorie tracker on-line.
** have about a week's worth of these little breakfast burrito things to go thru before I go back to protein shake and oatmeal for breakfast...

my immediate goal:

1) to get consisstant in the gym again.
2) want to drop an overal amount of 50lbs, immediate: 30 lbs.
3) like to be back to my 'old stats' before end of year:
weight: 182lbs
bodyfat: est: 15-17%
Bench: 315lbs for sets of 5
Incline DB Press: 120lbs for sets of 5
Pull Ups: 50 reps inside 5 sets and/or BW+55lbs for sets of 5
Squats: 375 for sets of 5
Dead lift: 405
BB Rows: 225lbs

Presently:
weight: 227lbs
bodyfat: est: 27%
Bench: ?
Incline DB Press: ?
Pull Ups: ?
Squats: ?
Dead lift: ?
BB Rows: ?

That's what I could do in 2003. I'm now 5 years older and have a few injuries to deal with...so we'll see how that goes.
February will be the start of my new journal.

ah...ya know...lifting...cardio....eating, sleeping...running, jumping, skipping...ok, maybe no skipping..


Mainly: get this 50lbs of garbage off my bod. Get back to at least my old stats. Move forward.
Was thinking...if can get ready...maybe try a triathlon this summer? Its just a random thought. Don't have a road bike or swim too well though...

Thats a great idea - something concrete to aim for, might just give you that kick start you need!

You'll get there Burner, at least you're one of the few who has decided to do something positive to lose weight , em except the skipping

Legs:
Squats:
135*10, 135*10, 185*10, 185*10, 185*10

Leg Ext:
110*10, 110*10, 110*10

Leg Curl:
110*10, 110*10, 110*10

** wow...strength is zapped. Those squats were actually an effort
** Met w/ trainer last night after I lifted. Went over nutrition and got me dialed in for thier on-line calorie tracker.
** he's gonna put me on a high cal burn, circuit type workout...wow...never done THAT before...but, I'll give his way a whirl.
** My form might have been off a little w/ my squats? Lower back was feelinng tight when I finished...hopefully, nothing more than justt not used to have been loaded w/ weights.

*** Ok...most likely gonna get shot down...(no, not by a girl again this time...) I stopped at the Cadillac dealer. Am going back after work to see if they can put me into a 'program car.' 0% interest...dump all my inequity into it...if the payments aren't too unreasonable...gonna go for it...I'ev dumped about 10k into the Audi in less than 2 years of owning it, and have at LEAST 3k more to put into it to get up to par...before something ELSE goes wrong w/ it...I love my car...but sick of it ALWAYS needing something to have to be done w/ it.
...and my being a realtor...must have nice, professional, 4-door car.
(I'd just assume go back to a Tacoma)

wow...next door? do u have to hang your head in shame if u go past and don't work out?
Well, my main gym isn't that busy when I get off work, so doesnt' look like that is going to be an issue now. I cna use either one of the gyms.

Hiya Sam! Thanks for the encouraging words!

more of a "turn the head so no one can see me go by without stopping".
it doesnt take long for the guilt to kick in.

That image will be with me forever.

Hey Burner - good job on the squatting mate, just make sure you stretch after your sessions. I've found that if something's tight before you leave the gym, it's generally not going to sort itself out

Go on now, jiggle those jiggly bits until they don't jiggle any more
