  • The Metamorphosis

    21 Mar 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Jamie Rubin woke from a night of restless dreams to find himself transformed in his bed into a giant idiot. I was up at 4:30 AM, ate breakfast and eagerly got ready to head into work and into the gym. I practically whistled through breakfast because I leave the office at 10 AM today and…

  • Workout #75 (Chest & back)

    20 Mar 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Up at 4:30 AM after not getting to sleep until after 11 last night. Ugh! Still, it was warm when I left the house (had to have been about 55) and that put in a good mood. And I felt pretty good about the workout overall, although I’m still not quite back to where I…

  • Workout #74 (Cardio)

    19 Mar 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Up at 4:30 and into the gym by 5:50 AM. This was the first full cardio workout that I’ve done since getting sick. In fact, my last full cardio workout was back on March 7 so it’s been nearly 2 weeks since I’ve gotten a full cardio workout in. It felt good to get it…

  • Workout #73 (Arms & shoulders w/Bernard)

    15 Mar 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    My first full workout since Saturday! I had my workout with Bernard this afternoon and to mix it up a bit, I decided to do an arms and shoulders workout (I’ll do lower body this Saturday and then switch back to normal routine).

  • Workout #72 (Cardio)

    14 Mar 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Holy cow! It felt good to get back into the gym and do a workout. Because I’ve been sick, I haven’t been to the gym since Saturday and aside from feeling guilty, I was beginning to feel like I was losing my good habits. I didn’t do a full workout today, as I’m not 100%…

  • Workout #71 (Arms & shoulders)

    10 Mar 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    I headed to the NYSC with Jason this morning at about 8:30, determined to get in a workout and determined to work out some of this cold. I did my usual 5 minute workout and then headed to the free weight room to do my workout.

  • No workout today

    08 Mar 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Well, I’ve got the chills and the fever is back and it is probably not a good idea to work out this afternoon. I walked over to the gym and found Bernard and told him and he agreed that I shouldn’t work out when I was sick. strausmouse also suggested that I just rest and…

  • Workout #70 (Cardio)

    07 Mar 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    I couldn’t get to the gym this morning so I went at lunch today. It’s not bad at lunch, the place is pretty empty. I needed to eat beforehand so I brought a Subway sandwich into my 11 AM meeting and then tried to eat it quietly with a half dozen people sitting around me.

  • Workout #69 (chest & back)

    06 Mar 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Up at 4:30 AM after getting a full night’s sleep last night. I was in bed before 7 PM and lights out by 8:30. I woke up having a bad dream when my alarm went off this morning, but otherwise had a good night’s sleep. I did have a stomach ache and when I got…

  • Workout #68 (Cardio)

    05 Mar 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Up at 4:30 AM after not getting to bed until midnight because of the bug fix and because I was in a meeting to test the fix until about 11 PM. I kept dozing off on the train into work this morning which is unusual for me. But I got to the gym just before…

  • Workout #67 (Arms & shoulders)

    05 Mar 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    [This workout was done yesterday, but I didn’t have time to get my blog updated last night.] I ended up having to work from home yesterday because of last minute issues found with database locking just hours before rolluot of software that we’ve been working on for 2 years. I fixed the problem, but I…

  • Workout #66 (Cardio)

    02 Mar 2007 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Up at 4:30 and into the gym just before 6 AM. Even though they moved some ellipticals back to the front of the gym, I still couldn’t find my rhythm today. I don’t know why. I did a total of about 15 minutes on the elliptical, and then switched to the treadmill, where I did…
