if drinking coffee is considered arm exercises, i have done about 200 arm curls this morning with my right arm
Ok at work now. Had a GREAT cardio day! I finally hit a milestone. 8.05 miles in 60 minutes at level 10 resistance! I have been trying to get that for 3 weeks now and finally, the hard work has paid off. i hard to work super hard on it. just focusing on breathing and keeping the mph up. i never was out of breath, but my legs were definitely feeling the burn. Feels good to finally accomplish that feat. hopefully i can do it again, then 8.5, then 9, then level 15 and start all over again at 6. my legs must rival those of an ox now lol. anyway, how's everything going for everyone else?
oh yeah, i'm pretty much relaxing for the rest of the day. no tennis or anything. going to be nice. anyway, hungry going to kitchen to probably get a bottled water and nutrigrain bar.

What machine is that on?
Just doing a driveby hello. Good to see you're still going strong. Every time I read your workout reports I just get this image of this well built dude stomping into the gym and giving a huge roar before hitting the machines...
So friday, yes! so glad the week is just about over. today was interesting. I decided to up the number of step levels i jump on from 12 to 13 then 14, and one of the guys saw me doing it. when i came back over to the free weights area (where we all are 90% of the time. he starts to comment on how high i can jump and such. A couple of guys were like NO way! i gotta see this, lets go now! i'm like are you serious? he's like hell yeah i'm serious! i gotta see this. So after i do it, he's like "aww hell naw! not me, how long you've been doing this?" I told him how i just started this week and he was like well all i can say is good job man.. lol. I had me an audience. when i left the exercise room on my last set, people on the elliptical and treadmills were clapping and telling me that it was impressive to see a guy my size jump so high like that, and so many times. Its funny to me. I am flattered, but it lets you know whatt people expect when they see you and it also lets them knnow how much more they could be doing, so in a sense it motivate them. people are trying more pull ups now because i can do a few. i even did some with my legs straight out, and the wore my abs out!!! but anyway, i did two circuits. this week was a lazy week kinda becaus ei ususally do three, but with the dips and pull ups and vertical jumps, i am a lot ore run doiwn after two sets, may next week or the week after i can hit 3 if i don't change it up before hand, which i will most likely do. gotta love the gym.
ha! although the only machine i hit is the elliptical, everything else is free weights or my own body weight.
so i am aboutt to head tot he gym. EXCITING!!! anyway, just wanted to share something. yesterday i was scheduled to play tennis. I'm at work and i realize i brought no clothes for tennis, so i figure i can run to target and buy a shirt and some shorts for cheap. I ge there and i find the shorts and shirts and the prices for bother were Small- xtra large 9.99. XXL-11.99! So i grab the Extra large of both and sure it enough they fit like a charm! its nice to save so much money on clothes now thanks to smaller sizes. things are going great! ok off for that full body workout!
Well K, hope everythign is great for ya...I am doing driveby's cuz i am going out of town and dont know if I will have internet access (BAH)...I think thats what is keeping me from being excited about going...annnnnyyyyyyway....hope your week is a successful one!

SO i am house sitting... its ok. but i found a routine that can work. i go to the house, sleep wake up at 4:30, go to the gym, which is the opposite way to work. since i'll be done so early, head to my house, which is on the way to work, relax eat. pay bills browse net blah blah, oh yeah shower, and head to work. today it worked like a charm. just 5 more days, well four since i don't work saturday. Today was cardio day. My endurance is going up. i put in 8.2 miles in 60 min. 8.5 including five min cool down. it was 960 cals total. This is up from 8.05 on thursday. Before then i never could manage 8 miles on level 10. When i get to 9 i will move up to 15. I am so impressed with myself. i am really pushing hard. I can't wait to be in mike position where i can focus on building stregnth, but i just want to maintain til i lose a bit more. i'm only 5'8" and 277, so i am not quite where mikezorr is yet. but i'll get there in the next couple months.
Story time. i'll keep it short. so saturday at my sisters graduation party, it was the first time most of my family had saw me since xmas. boy were they surprised when they saw me. I was getting comments like where's the rest of you! and some people were saying they feel bad for my ex now because i look so good lol. After that i went on a date, and i was getting the same thing from my date. she lives 4 hours up state, so she isn't around too often, but when she comes down we hang and now we go out. its fun times. you goes, i heard you lost some weight, but you are like half the size you were before! she was impress, as she is trying to lose weight too, and has lose about 11 or 12 lbs. so it was a good weekend indeed. Yesterday i got in about 1.5 hours of tennis, which would have been 2 hours, but i wanted to check out this spanish group around 8 pm. it was crazy everyone was just speaking in spanish, even when i approached, they only spoke to me in spanish, and it was so overwhelming i forgot everything in a instant, lol. but i warmed up to it and maybe i'll go again. who knows. Well that's all i got for now, i'll be playing tennis again today post work, so that'll be fun. i think i'll take wed and thurs off from tennis and maybe play friday. talk you you peeps soon.
haha. I don't even know how I'm doing it. Persistence is key tho. I'm sure you have plenty of muscle mass like me. I use the new cuts etc as motivation. Its really starting to pay off. I just realized today that my right shoulder is more cut than my left. I think I need to do an extra set of reps on my left shoulder because I use my right for everything at work.
It pays off in the end. Trust me. I'm not even attempting to look nice of whatev and I get cat calls. haha. Yeah. weird.
Anywho, you are doing good man. You going to bulk back up when you hit a certain weight?
