Red Mosquito

I've unintentionally been slack the past week & have not been to the gym. I can already feel a difference. I'm going out of town for the weekend so it will be next week before I get back on track, only to be interrupted by Christmas & New Year's weeks. In way it's going to be like starting over in January, only with all the resolutioners.

I hate the gym for the first two or three weeks of January. Overcrowded, people who have no idea what they're doing and annoying. If I wanted that I'd be at work or the mall.

been skating and playing some hockey which has been nice, because ever since it got cold I haven't been getting any cardio. It was pretty satisfying because I never had a slap-shot, and it finally started coming together today.

Got about 45 minutes of weight work in last night. Not a particularly good set but better than nothing. Between the rain and it being the night before the night before Christmas there might have been ten people on the floor.

Went to the gym & got in a decent workout. I've been good about my weight work over the holidays, probably can bump up a little actually. I did a mile on the treadmill and could tell I've been slack on the cardio.
My next trip will be Saturday morning; it'll be interesting to see how packed out the place will be.

I could beat you at hockey.

Got my first workout of the year in this morning. I was expecting the gym to be more crowded than it was; decent crowd but not packed out. Maybe the wave will hit Monday? But I did good; little over an hour weights plus 1.8 miles on the treadmill. I'm going out of town for a few days after MLK day but if I do a steady routine like I did today up until then I'll be happy.

I have not been working out, and am starting to look a little flabby.

What's your BMI?

So far the gym hasn't been too busy - guess there weren't a bunch of New Years resolution beginners.

What has started to piss me off though is people wearing douche tops to the gym. Yesterday - there was the guy wearing his 'Ripped Freak' top someone else wearing a 'Your workout is my warm up' top. I just want to punch them so hard

My BMI has me bordering on obese

I hurt my shoulder working out. My BMI is healthy.

Where does your flab tend to accumulate?

I have a bit of a gut, but I noticed my arms looked less toned after not working out for a while which inspired that comment.

Back at the gym last night. Still pretty packed out; the crowd will start thinning out once the weather starts warming and people have other things to do. I haven't been particularly motivated of late, did a mile on the treadmill and 45 minutes of weights and I was ready to go.

I've been hitting the gym in the late evening and it's just been amazing. No douche bags and I don't have to battle the middle aged female walkers for a treadmill. I would highly recommend joining a 24/7 gym.

Saturday mornings are usually my best workouts of the week. Totally slept in this morning though.

Still getting over my cold a bit - still feeling a bit , but went to the gym today
Managed to bench a new personal best - for 6 reps 110kg (242.5 lbs)

Managed to up my bench to 120kg (264.5 lbs) today (only 3 reps)
