cameras ready, prepare to flash
This morning I drove to work topless.. yep shirtless. Nude from the waist up I say. Why? I woke up hot.. really hot. I dunno what it is, the weather, the temps, my workouts lately, the massage i just had the night before, but I was hot.. hot hot hot! Too hot. I'm beginning to dislike all my clothes, everything feels too hot.. too heavy, so screw it I thought to myself. I'll cool off on the way to work. That worked out nicely.
Yesterday I had my 90 day review at McConnell. I met with my nutritionist Cheryll and got a bit of progress check. And the result? I've lost 8% of my body weight/fat? i forget.. so far. Basically I've lost alot of weight so far and I'm on track for goodness. I was told an 8-10% loss over six months is good, in 90 days i'm waaaaaaaaaay ahead, really good checkup. The way I eat is in place, the just eat right feel right is working great. No real hurddles in sight, just keep it up and more cardio. As a vivid example of what i've lost so far Cheryll pulled out what looked like a firelog or block of wood, instead it was yellow and rubbery flabby.. she said "this is 4 pounds of body fat..." I was like ewwwwwwww put that away! And then she said "you've lost 4 of these so far...", scary.. but thats awesome! If all goes well I stand to lose another 20-15 pounds by xmas. There's a chance my body will plateau at certain point where for 2-3 months you lose nothing and yer body re-adjusts and then continues to go down more but she feels thats not happening yet, I'm still losing weight at a good pace.
Look back on all this like its another addiction of mine. I seem to pick up concepts and ideas and either love them or leave them. I definately love this one though. The gym is great, getting everything i need out of it is really nice, workout, shower, massage, pool etc.. its just all there, advisors etc. I'm not on a cheap program by any means but I feel like so far, its really been worth it. I feel better than ever.
I caught an episode of CSI the other day where the bad guy killed gals at the gym cause they teased him at the gym.. and started to hear this ramble of this bad guy and his justification of madness in my head.. they tease me!! And at my gym.. they are all senior citizens that kick my ass typically.. lol. When I went in for the checkup yesterday at 11am, a time i rarely go into the gym, it was packed, full of senior citizens, i mean dozens of them, hundreds. It gets ya thinking, our elderly generation is living longer, getting better and lasting.. much more than we realize. I see all these people of age and I see stories, i see dozens of stories to tell, lives lived and memories carved in, these are folks with some real character. Sure in the gym, perhaps I do lack the younger generation macho men throwin barbells around and the hot gals tempting me.. but ya know.. I think I like my old crew better. I suppose in six months i could do california fitness center or something, save alot of money but it'd be a robo fest. Look at my biceps! Or check out that ass! I dunno, I like my team of docs and trainers running around me at McConnell.
