B ... 2004 is the year of venturing outside the box so to speak

We are mountain biking ... mountain climbing ... scuba diving (if I can get over the breathing through my mouth) ... paragliding ...

the outdoorsy type stuff ...

 

[Burner02]

ya gotz ta let me know how the paragliding goes! I need pics too!
remember, we'll be in Cozumel for the 2nd week of January, 05!
some of the best diving in the world! (relatively inexpensive too!)

 

[naturaltan]

paragliding should be a hoot! Cozumel ... January 5th ... marked on the calendar.

 

[Burner02]

swert!
I am going to get Kristen her advanced dive certification this fall, so she is more comfortable in the water.
The friend I have been going thre with for the past three years and I have a frienf who may also be getting certified as well. He is going thru a divorce, and we need to get him out.

 

[Burner02]

just had lunch: 2 chicken breasts and some bsmati rice I just made in my new rice cooker I bought on ebay!
(It is goooooooood)

that is all..

 

[naturaltan]

I'm going to start with a $30 introductory course ... and if I can get over the breathing using my mouth, I might try a certificate course. At the worse, I could hold down the pool while you do the adventure thing. I am really really good at chatting it up with anyone brave enough to chat with me.

 

[Burner02]

you'll do great. Just remember to relax. It is unnatural to be breathe under water. You seem a relaxxed enough person...that your mind will accept it as norm and be good to go.
Kristen kinda freaked out a little bit, almost didn't make it thru her first pool day, but I told her the same ting. Relax. She overcame it, and now she is hoked.
My 'pool buddy' when I went thru..totally freaked out. The first time we went under (in the shallow end of the pool (3 feet) wsa under maybe 30 seconds, before he shot out and started bitching about he couldn't do it, it wasn;'t for him...
I had also surfaced and asked him to try it again, but he wouldn't, got out of the pool and that was that.
It is easy 'fo sheesy! Come to think of it, I still have pics to post..lemme see if I can work on that..

maybe email them to you to resize? If I can't resize them myself.

 

[naturaltan]

sure ... I can resize the if you can't.

my only experience with that sort of thing was in Mexico and it was just snorkling. I had a hard time putting my face in the water and using the snorkle to breathe. I think if I had really put my mind to it, I could have done it - thus the reason why I'm going to give it another shot.

 

[Burner02]

sweet!
it really is an easy thing. Breathing thru a regulator is much easier than a snorkel. for one thing, you are already under water, and dont have to worry about going under too far and sucking water down the snorkel...

Kinda funny, two trips ago, (2002) we were on our 2nd dive, which will always be a shallow dive, we were cruising around, looking at the scenery, when we were invaded by a tour load of snorkelers. Of course, me being single at the time, rolled over onto my back and floated that way, hoping to see some cute woman wearing a thong....no such luck..

Legs:
SQUAT!:
135*15, 225*10, 225*10, 315*6, 315*6, 315*5 / 225*5 / 135*15
(drop set the last set)

Leg Extension:
150*10, 150*9, 150*8

Unfortunately, ran out of time...forgot I had to go work the kiosk @ the mall earlier than I had thoght. No one showed up looking to buy a home..waste of time..of course, the day you don't go...you lose a HUGE client...
BTW..they are sore tho! Felt pretty good on the 315 too! I set the safety bar 1 notch higher tha usual, so was only able to barely break parallel before touching it. I think I only cheaed on one rep by not getting close enogh to the bar, so as 'punishment' I forced another rep out..
Used a belt @ 315..sorry..


Forgot what I ate yesterday..
1) eggs (6 whts, 1 yolk, turkey coffee
2) 2 chicken breasts, basmatic rice (1s time in cooker..and was GOOOD!)
4) micclean (sp) chocolate MRP (supposed to go and pick up my new graham cracker flavor later today!)
3) chicken fajitas. (frozen bag from Sams. Not too bad. added in more chicken.)

that was about it...when ever I am not at work..I have a hard time eatig all my meals..just don't think of eating..

 

[PreMier]

Good to see you back in the gym B-man! Great squats too!

 

[Burner02]

just trying to keep in range of you, brotha!

 

[PreMier]

Your damn close. Even ahead in the leg department. Maybe it should be the other way around, maybe I should try and keep up with you

 

[Burner02]

who are you kidding? if I recall...you are repping 315 what I am repping 225....
funny man!

 

[PreMier]

Yes, you are a funny man! haha I got 7 reps, then failed on the 5th rep of set two. You seem to have no problem hitting 315 for reps, especially after so many warmups.

[Burner02]

It's wierd, I don't really feel it in my legs unless I do reps. That is why I usually try and go for reps @ 225. When I can rep @ 315...(again) life will be better..

oh...and strippig of this 20 some lbs of accumulated....cheat meals..

 

[PreMier]

 

[Burner02]

Not to sound vain..but I see myself in the mirror....see the muscle..and then the layer of fat covering it.
"Damn, I almost have a decent body".....
I was just told it is now snowing outside......no running...

 

[PreMier]

Im sure you do haev a nice body haha j/k man!

But seriously, no more cheat meals If you want to loose the fat.

thanks!
Just trying hard to get consistant again....trying to balance two full time jobs and a girl friend...oy!

 

[PreMier]

Da juggling b-man!

You just have to figure what balls are the most important, and drop the rest.

 

[Burner02]

Well, as soon as I get the real estate fully up and running..I will drop one job...this one...the one that allows me to post whore..but sacrifices must be made....sho me the benjimins!

so, unless it's a bright sun shiny day, you can't run? B ... that's a pretty lame excuse. At least the double job deal has weight ... not running because it's snowing ...

 

[Burner02]

allright, just 'cause you are part ESKIMO by living in that frigid region of the globe..not all of us can run in inclimate weather. Don't run when it's cold / wet/ windy.
I'm sensitive, you know..
