Back to the gym

“WOW! You've had a busy day!”

“Whew! And I'm a little sore, too!”

“Trying to noodle this out...100,000 in a day...is wow...how long is your normal DAY?”

“OK, OK, I admit it. That's the total since I started keeping track about 4 years ago or so. Let's see, according to my spreadsheet, it averages out to about 80 per day since I started - not bad!”

“WOW...that is good. I hate abs worse than Leg Press night.”

“Yeah, and I keep having women come up to me and compliment me on my 6-pack. At least 3 or 4 times a day.”

“Well, OK, I made that last part up.”

“LOL..with a sixpack you have six sets of muscles to work...anything I do is good for my Keg?”

“My treadmill is broken :(

I wore out the belt and deck. Just shy of 5,000 miles now.”

“Two or three nights a week in the gym plus weekly training.”

“LOL Bowlder!”

“I think pix is complimenting me, but I'm not sure.”

“Your troll name should be Captain Crunch, lol.”

“BM - PICS!!!”

“so ... started a full routine this week - a 12 week cycle (patterned off Body-For-Life, but much is different, like the weights). Took the month before to start-up slowly, get used to the change in routine and the weights and cardio, etc...

must be paying off b/c walking away from the register at Lowe's tonight the one register lady says to the other register guy "I'm going to have me a look." (she thought I couldn't hear) and she turned around and checked me out (I was turned just enough to see this) - then continued on with her conversation ... LOL!

If I had known it was coming I would have thought to slap my a$s for her.”

“on the treadmill, as of this morning. I finally got it fixed two weeks ago. Over two weeks I couldn't use it, and I really felt it at first. 7.46 miles a day now, 1023 calories, this counts as my most strenuous workout program yet.”

“Nice!!

I'm heading over to do my usual quick lifting routine in a little while. I'll set a new max for total weight lifted in one month. Still doing the same light-ish weights, but I was really consistent this month going at least twice and usually three times every week.”

“Good deal Bowlder!

I've been on a real consistent run myself, been doing weights three nights a week with a short cardio workout after (either on the exercise bike or swimming laps) and on the other three nights (i take sundays off) I do a full running workout, ususally 4-5 miles with a long run on Saturday.

I've been consistent enough at the gym that the girls that work the front desk are starting to recognize me :)”

“I'll be going for a good long walk with Laurel tonight. Does that count?”

“depends on how much candy you eat on the walk!

LOL

thats only a factor tonight though....


;)”

“woohoo! I just joined a new gym right down the boardwalk, so I can just ride my bike there everyday! That definately motivates me to go more often.

They've got this crazy fake wave thing outside you can ride with a surf board or boogie board. It looks pretty hard, so I think I'll just be sticking to the cardio and nautilus machines for now, although they do have a nice Olympic sized pool...”

“Sounds nice - where the heck are you, embear?


Went this morning w/BowlderGal - she has finally succumbed to me bugging her about doing a little bit of weightlifting in her fitness program. So we go over to the new gym near our house for a version of my 15-minute routine.”

“Im in san diego - mission beach.

Going to my 2nd personal training session today. I'm still sore from Monday!”

“I threw up all over myself at the gym today during a heavy set of squats. I didn't even know it was coming, and then it was all over. Good thing I was in the rack or I might have been in trouble. At least it happened when I was almost finished with my workout. I was feeling amped today and I would have been p!ssed if I would have done that in the beginning.

The gym manager wouldn't let me clean up after myself. He said they pay people for that. He was pretty excited for me. I wasn't so much. He also commented that he'd like to see more people like me. I doubt the janitor agrees.”

“Dude, that's not healthy. I'm ashamed of your gym manager.

I'm a slug. My brain knows it's time to get back inside to the gym after all the outdoor stuff of the summer. Sh1t it's in my office building right downstairs from my office. I've even booked time on my outlook calendar. But people schedule important meetings over that block of time and I just can't seem to get motivated.

Time to get serious.”

“That's, like, gross, dude! What's the deal, did you eat too much right before? Have a stomach virus or something? Yuck-o-rama!


I surpassed 4 million "pounds" cumulative weight lifted last week. Yee haw.”

“A real gym rat would whip out the spoon and slurp it back up!”

“That reminds me of that scene in the Great Santini, rosey. Where they spill out the can of cream of mushroom soup like it was puke and they guys come running in and slurping it up.

The Captains wife was the first one to barf.”

“That was a great read, Chili. Thanks for reminding me of that scene! High-larious!”

“it might be time for a gym membership....

hmmmm is Golds anygood?”

“Is the thought of puking and slurping it back up that irresistible, ENS? :-D”

“So far, no one has puked at the gym where I work out. At least not while I was there....



BTW, I always bring my hand sanitizer gel with me - the first thing I do when I finish is decontaminate....”

“i always picture golds as a 'muscle beach' type place, but that's probably not fair.

I go to 24 hour fitness - its open 24 hours (duh), but its mostly pretty regular peeps too and super well equipped, including a pool.”

“24-Hour for me, too, roam - I have more or less the same impression of the place....”

“Is the thought of puking and slurping it back up that irresistible, ENS? :-D”
lyra

I love puke slurpies!!!!”

“Yeah. And if you're lucky, the barfsmoothie even has protein powder added!”

“I bet you could use a SPORK if it was chunky enough.

Hope no one was planning on eating lunch today!”

“if it's chunky, then you don't need to blend ice into it.”

“Sweeeeet.”

“I think I just threw up a little....”

“Save some for me!”

“What was the line from the Great Santini? Something like, "step back dammit, you are hogging all the meat"”

“LMAO!”

“I always enjoy a good shower and the steam room after a workout. In fact, I enjoy it so much that now I skip the workouts.

I just came back from the health club now. I sure do sweat in the steam room. And I'm up 40 pounds from a year ago.

The club is the best one around, but the parking lot was full. I was lucky to get a disabled spot. They seem to have sold too many memberships. In order to avoid those lines, I have be there at the opening or shortly before closing in the evening. Even the aikijutsu class is drawing a crowd.”

“I actually ate today, so I did cardio twice today.”

“Good work, Gem.”

“Been back to the gym for two weeks now. Haven't really lost much weight yet, but feeling better with more energy. Seems like the last two summers I would quit exercising after my backpacking trips were over...bam!! 10 lbs!!”

“i've always hated cardio, i much prefer weights, but recently for the first time i've been really digging it.
and i owe it all to the jerry C cannon in D song.
i just keep the song on repeat on my MP3 while hitting the elliptical.

never knew a song could make such a difference in my workout!”

“Thinking about starting back up at the gym at the start of the new year.

Got big hiking plans for this year and I will need to be in better shape.”

“yep, WK. i like to start in a couple weeks before the new year so when january rolls around i can join in with the other "regulars" in making 1/2 joking comments about all the new years resolution wannabees”
