So...Where Was I?

SamEaston · 01-31-2008, 05:37 AM

Hey Pylon - You win some, you lose some. Go knock out some weights in the gym to make yourself feel better

Pylon · 01-31-2008, 08:11 AM

That's part of the problem. I don't have a gym right now!

No worries. I'm fixing that today, and I have some leads working on fixing the other part.

Pylon · 01-31-2008, 12:09 PM

OK, I'm officially a member of the Y again. So I've got that going for me. Which is nice.

DOMS · 01-31-2008, 12:15 PM

So, you're still in the unemployed boat with me?

Pylon · 01-31-2008, 12:19 PM

No, not unemployed, just dissatisfied.

Scarface30 · 01-31-2008, 08:20 PM

too bad about the job Py, keep on looking, you'll land a great one soon

as for the Y, I was a member of a YMCA over the summer, and if your's is anything like the one I was part of you'll enjoy, it had a good atmosphere.

Pylon · 01-31-2008, 08:55 PM

I've been a member there before. It's fine. Plus, it'll be nice to have a pool for cardio work again.

b_reed23 · 01-31-2008, 09:44 PM

so when are you starting back?

Pylon · 02-01-2008, 07:56 AM

Well, I was planning on going today, but we got 6" or so in the snow storm, and they haven't plowed yet. (The snow came around 2am.) So chillin' at home today.

SamEaston · 02-01-2008, 11:00 AM

Go out and make a snowman - good cardio

b_reed23 · 02-01-2008, 11:21 AM

ride the bike...or better yet...shovel snow....it's a full body workout!!!

Pylon · 02-02-2008, 01:04 PM

Did some snow shoveling. So there. :P

Spring training starts Monday. (Can't see starting the day before the SB, you know.) Making chili tonight, tomorrow will be teriyaki wings, buffalo wing dip, and nachos. Woo hoo!

soxmuscle · 02-02-2008, 02:04 PM

thats quite the super bowl feast.

who ya got?

Pylon · 02-02-2008, 09:23 PM

Well, I was leaning this way anyhow, but given the latest news about how the Pats and Bellicheat taped the Rams before the SB a few years back, I'm taking the G-men.

the other half · 02-03-2008, 02:15 PM

im still rooting for the steelers. save a few wings for me would ya.

Pylon · 02-03-2008, 02:18 PM

No chance. Sorry. :P

Pylon · 02-03-2008, 02:22 PM

OK, so planning to start a new program on Monday. My plan is to go with a lot of cardio, including HIIT on the bike, some running and swimming. For lifting, I'm going to be looking for enough to maintain muscle mass, but not much else.

I'm thinking of going with the classic Heavy Duty HIT routine. Quick, simple, efficient. I can get in a cardio session and lift on my lunch hour, or do prolonged cardio (pool or running) on the other days. Thoughts?

Oh come on...

where was this information for the last 6 years that it just happened to be found this week? it's 100% bullshit and ESPN has become unbearable to watch this week because of it.

Pylon · 02-03-2008, 02:25 PM

Well, sure...but they have to talk about something, right? :P

Pylon · 02-05-2008, 06:41 PM

So....where was I?

Got to the gym today for some pool time. It was limited (a lot going on), but better than nothing. Planning to lift tomorrow. Diet has been clean the last two days as well.

Have an interview with a recruiter in the morning, plus a couple of other irons in the fire. I have two of the execs each trying to set something up for me. I figure if they both try, at least one will come through. We will see which one gets to the finish line first, I guess. (Of course, they both know that I still plan to bail out of the company as soon as something good comes up...but I think they are looking too, so I don't feel too bad.)

the other half · 02-05-2008, 06:51 PM

i hope those wings were good

sounds like a good idea Py

just make sure you eat enough protein and lift heavy to maintain.

Meh. They were good, not great. Went with an Asian orange glaze. Should have just gone with hot wings.

It's all about touches at this point. The more people I get to sit down with, the better the chance something will shake out.

b_reed23 · 02-06-2008, 12:49 AM

Good luck Py!!

Pylon · 02-06-2008, 07:57 PM

The meeting this morning went well. Didn't get to the gym because I was doing some follow up work for the recruiter. (I give myself a pass on that.)

One of the internal options has been put on hold for at least a month. Not a surprise, but disappointing anyway.

b_reed23 · 02-06-2008, 09:36 PM

don't get too down on yourself...remember...things happen for a reason....you will find the job when the time is right
