I am writing because well I was away for a while and didn’t have access to the internet. I got busy with work and my grandpa’s cancer came back, I also had a fall. How-ever I a have much to write about now. I got a new weight bench for abs and lifting dumbbells and bought some sups too. Also my metabolism sped up and I lost weight while eating almost the same diet as I was before with the addition of more fruits and a lot more vegetables. Also I feel like this whole SARS thing is a biological attack on the Hong Kong protests that got out of hand and has ended up effecting Europe and the US very badly and we should make they pay up for it! Raise tariffs some more and repatriate some of the Chinese spies at our institutions!

Progress pic next post, no more droopy pecs, after only 1 month!

Workout: It’s been awhile sorry for that but I am definitely noticing gains now! My pecs are no longer droopy, but now I need to figure out a way to balance my lower and upper chest and I think I need a flatbench/incline bench set up. Also abs for Christmas a birdie told me I am getting an abs bench which is great except that doing knee ups/leg raises on the pullup bar are actually better for abs but maybe dangerous with my doorway pull up/chin up bar. Oh well I have the bench now anyways and maybe I can put it to use for some weights too and pray for a Weider to get back to me on the hardware replacement for my Olympic weight bench cause I really want to do barbell bench press not just dumbbell bench press. Regardless I have my running shoes now and some calcium and milk and glucosamine chondroitin AND stretching exercises (fucked up knee) so I can go Troyshuffle outside this lovely morning, soon as sunrise! I have been doing lots of biceps curls every day, I am making it a rule I cannot get out of bed without doing them as they are right beside my bed it’s a great habit I think.

Gardening: Planted a bunch of bulbs, flowers, gladiolus, anemone, and onions for springtime. I need to harvest some more peppermint it makes great tasting tea which I can make sugar-free or with a touch of agave syrup.

Eating & Cooking: Have been transitioning to oatmeal breakfasts, protein bar lunches, cutting back on cheesy chips and still pecking away at the pizza can’t lie.

Mindfulness & Spirituality: I think the Catholic church is THE Church but also there are many paths to enlightenment.
