We may have some bags of dirt. I'll have to look.

Anyways, Friday AM work out didn't happen. I got up bright and early...stood up out of bed and... Ahhhhh my legs! So sore. Back to playing this game again.

Well I'm hoping my legs are ready to go for wednesday... I also think that I'm going to go ahead with my friday workout and just work in the upper stuff for a couple weeks and hopefully my legs will get used to this and then I can slowly work in the lower too.

Holy crap these sucked big time. I used to be good at these. I guess I'm getting heavy.

Thoughts

My gym performance has an inverse correlation to my drinking performance... imagine that.

Summer can be rough on a guy.

LOL, yep.

Well between laying tile at my mom's place to getting sick to being away every weekend... well I've really shit the bed at the gym. And thus I have put on a great deal of weight (the bad kind)... gah. I think I must set myself up on a real diet here... not whatever the hell it is that my mother makes.

P.S. living at home with your mother when you're an adult sucks. If I wasn't so hard up for a job I would be outta hur! In fact, I'm looking into other jobs currently.

Living at home is the greatest you fool!!!

No bills, cheap and easy livin!!!
