  • Workout #30 (upper body w/Bernard)

    28 Sep 2006 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Upper body workout this morning. I spent half the night telling myself I didn’t want to get up at 4:30 AM, but I was up at 4:30 AM anyway and into the gym as usual. Once again, Bernard mentioned that my abs were definitely flatter, and I’ve noticed that my jeans are fitting more loosely.…

  • Workout #29 (lower body w/Bernard)

    26 Sep 2006 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Bernard was about 15 minutes late this morning and I had a meeting at 8 AM so I needed to start without him. Nevertheless, he arrived about halfway through my first exercise group and things went smoothly from there.

  • Workout #28 (chest and back w/Bernard)

    21 Sep 2006 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Up at 4:30 AM and discovered that the Yankees clinched the division last night. Since it was cool enough this morning at that dark hour, I decided to bring out the Yankees jacket today in honor of the Yankees ninth consecutive division series and the cooling off of the weather. My right knee still felt…

  • Workout #27 (cardio)

    20 Sep 2006 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    I haven’t been keeping up with my cardio workouts and I decided to correct that this afternoon. After work I headed to the gym and realized that I had fogotten my lock for the locker. So I headed back the office, changed into my gym clothes, left my stuff in my office, and headed back…

  • Free salad!

    19 Sep 2006 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    I finally had the opportunity to use my “free salad” card at Salad Creations today. It’s like the old Subway Club cards, you get it punched each time you order something and when you have 8 punches you get a free salad. I got the “Hail to Caesar!” salad, as always. Factoring in the Sprite,…

  • Workout #26 (lower body w/Bernard)

    14 Sep 2006 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    This was a morning workout and I was up at 4:30 AM in order to eat and be into the gym by 6 AM. I tend to be a morning person, but even for me 4:30 AM is tough. It means that I have to be in bed by about 9 PM and shut out…

  • Workout #25 (arms and shoulders w/Bernard)

    13 Sep 2006 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Note: this workout took place yesterday. I’m just a little slow in getting it up-to-date here. Bernard had left me a message on Monday to see if I might be able to do my workout one hour later on Tuesday (5 PM rather than 4 PM). Ordinarily, I would, but yesterday I couldn’t because I…

  • Workout #24 (lower body w/Bernard)

    08 Sep 2006 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Today was a lower body workout. I turned in my meal log and was mildly chastised for my bad eating on Sunday, when I spent the afternoon with AJ. Other than that, the meal log looks good.

  • Workout #23 (arms and chest w/Bernard)

    06 Sep 2006 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    I woke up this morning wondering how I could get out of my workout today and for a while, I thought I was going to call Bernard or run into the gym to see if I could find him in the morning and reschedule my workout. But I stuck with it, knowing that I’m at…

  • Workout #22 (lower body, abridged)

    31 Aug 2006 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    I got into the gym a few minutes before 6 AM to find out that Bernard had called and said he was going to be late. He instructed me to get started on my workout. Today was lower body, so that’s what I planned on doing. Bernard was going to check my body fat today…

  • Workout #21 (chest and back w/Bernard)

    Well, I made it. I didn’t give in to the feels of laziness and I went to the gym after a very busy day at work. And you know what, I’m glad I did. It just felt good.

  • Oh no! Another workout!

    29 Aug 2006 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    The day is flying by today and for the first time since I stared with these workouts, I’m really not in the mood to workout this afternoon. I imagine everyone reaches this point. I have a lot of work to do. I want to get some writing done this evening. I want to get some…
