I agree with Deadbolt..... gotta make time man.

I hate to be harsh here, but I have to say that if you wanted to go to the gym or work out bad enough, you would...

you don't have to go to the gym to get a good workout, there are lots of things you could do at home (push ups, sit ups) to at least get you moving!

NO!!!!!

You haven't lost it.... you've just misplaced it...

Time to regroup!

I don't really know what to say to this. Maybe you'll get it back someday when you start to resemble a Buddah.

Or the michelin man lol..

But in all seriousness, I know how life is.. its hectic sometimes. And working out doesnt always stay at the top of the priority list.. making money does. I was out of it for almost 2 years, and it took me over 3 weeks to get into the gym on a consistant basis. But it all comes down to a decision.

Make a decision Mike. Is working out important to you right NOW? If yes, then do it. Dont fuckin lolly gag around, just do it(that would make a great slogan). If its not, then thats understandable, because I have been there as well.

I go thru those phases too. Sometimes I'm super fired up and motivated, and other times I just show up. I think the trick is to always have a goal. If you don't have a goal, there is nothing to motivate you.

my head hurts.
I did get up a little earlier this am and went for about a mile walk. Took the dog...she's in worse shape than I am! I figure, take her w/ on a walk for a week...then see if she wants to try jogging. (she's a shelty, so her little legs are really pumping)


I stopped at a community center on the way home yesterday to see if I could use their gym. evidently, I am in the wrong neighborhood...3 streets too far...so can't use it. THAT would have been...perfect.

I think the lifting gawads are just enjoying pissing on my head...
I am going to see if I can get out of my boxing contract. I went and spoke w/ my vee arnis jitsu sensei the other day. He also offers kick boxing...he also...has some lifting equipment...and...I am going to see what that fag gym did w/ all the gym equipment when they destroyed World's. (If I can find it...get a good deal on it for my old instructor...maybe he'd cut me a deal on dues)
Trust me...I'm trying to get things worked out.
A buddy of mine and his girlfriend (who is incredibly hot...) are starting to get into hiking 14'ers. (there are about 33 mountains in Colorado that are over 14k feet tall) 14ers.com - Home of Colorado's Fourteeners and High Peaks
I have hiked one so far: Mt. Bierstadt
I was in fairly decent shape at the time...and it was a biotch...I was asked to go hike Mt. Yale this Friday, but declined, due to I would be a hinderance to them...

which brings me to another thing to ponder. I LIKE living in Colorado. It is beautiful here. I want to go hiking and pounding the trails on my mtn bike...but then again...I want to be outta here...oi.

My package I ordered last week should be here today or tomorrow. I will be diving into that and putting that to work.
Trying to keep my eye to the future and seeing good things happening...
if anybody actually read this....you are a brave soul. I am mainly just putting things 'to paper', as it were.

ok....just called the planet fitness...formely world's gym...san asked what they are doing with all the equipment. They still have it...but aren't doing anything with it...not for sale....WTF???
The lady on the phone even said: we don't 'cater to body builders or power lifters' anymore....
(uh...yeah..that's why y'all had 1200 members immediately...QUIT)
...wanted to say that, but I didn't.

Who does that leave? The people who just want to tone?

JerseyDevil

You are certainly trying Mike . Maybe you should open "Burner's IronMag Gym and Fitness Center"!

katt

I hear Colorado is really beautiful... why do you want to leave? Do you have family there? Or are you just tired of being there and want something "different"?

Burner02

why leave? Women.

The ones here....suck. and don't mean litterally....
This place seems to be a divorced mother depot. It may sound rough, but I honestly do not want to raise someone else's kids. I can possibly deal w/ one child...but I've been meeting women with 2,3,4 children. Sorry...not gonna happen.

I'm even considering Denver. I like Denver. I used to live there. My parents are here in the 'Springs which would only be an hour's drive. I've got great friends in both Denver and the Boulder areas.

pretty much...did you see the link I posted of it? Its a 'judgement free' environment....

I was lookinng at that...but get into a Power House Gym franchise....but I don't have the knowledge, experience or capitol to start a business.

I did go check out the 'Y' yesterday. Overall it looks nice. 44.00/month. I don't recall it having DB's....it may have...I do know..that they do NOT have a power cage or squat rack!! WTF???? Was told they might get one next year....

Guess I am gonna just have to suck it up and go to the ungodly crowded 24hour fitness I have my membership at...

Gonna go by the old gym and ask somebody else what they are going to do with all the equipment they aren't using...IF...they WILL sell it...see if I can get my instructor to get it...and start lifting and doing kick boxing w/him...that would be nice...but because that makes sense to me...it won't happen.

I have to applaud their marketing. They are playing on peoples 'fear' and also their 'ignorance/stupidity'. I mean seriously, i have never been judged at any gym i was at, when a was a weak out of shape ninny. never.

So they throw this marketing scheme out there that plays on peoples fears that you have to look good to go to the gym. People look good because THEY GO to the gym.. fuck people are dumb

Well said mate. Got to agree with that 100%

exactly. As long sa you are there...it's something. THey are that much better off than the person who doesnt' go. (Wait...I resemble that last remark)

My thing also...is when I see someone who is big, fairly lean...and knows what they are doing...is an inspiration to those of us to work harder.

It goes back to my Law of Attraction:
you attract those that are like you. If you are around a bunch of under or non-achievers...chances are that you too, will be an underachiever...

Hey Burner! How did you get on at the Docs? Any relief for these allergies in sight?

Hi Burner

Burner02

hey!
I went yesterday, and I got...more pills.Plus! A nasal spray AND! eye drops! Wahoo!!!
ok....they seem to be working. I actually feel somewhat normal...whih I haven't for nearly...what...6 weeks now?
I'm not as wiped out from taking the benydril (sp)...now to find a gym...I AM going t oattemtp to find a parking spot @ 24 hour this afternoon.

A guy in the next cubicle spot over goes mtn biking...and not the technical stuff...so I can go with him and his group on Weekends! I bought that bike...a LONG time ago...and it just sits...'cause Its no fun riding alone.
Now...I will want to do the technical stuff, but ya have to start somewhere and build up.

I hate being in the shape I'm in....its depressing. Because I've let myself get this way...I had to pass up a nice hike up Mt. Yale last week with some friends...as I wouldn't have been able to keep up w/ them.

I'm just saying...I know where I am...what I have and have not done...and the results of said inaction. SOmething is going to present itself.
This journal has been a waste. 7 pages containing what....3, maybe 4 workouts? hhhmmm....not good.
So...rubber meets the road. Best foot forward and all that good goings on. let's see how I fare this afternoon.

it's all about motivation bruh...u need proper motivation. i wouldn't be surprised if you were slightly depressed..???

Chuck Norris once lost his keys and couldn't remember where he put them. So he tortured himself for half an hour until he gave up their location.

That first step is the hardest one, Burner. Start walking.

You don't need a gym for pushups, dips, body weight squats/lunges, crunches, etc..........
