Hi All!
Sorry for the recent absence of posts. I could give you a bunch of excuses...but I won't. I suck, I'll try sucking less. ;)
We're hitting that 3/4 month mark...also known as a "slump". We've been religious about gymming (yes, it is a verb. I decided so) and eating well .... but the pounds ain't falling off quite as quick as they used to. *sigh*
In D's case he's building muscle - lots of muscle. In my case? I think my fat is complacent. It
doesn't want to9 leave if it doesn't have to.
I've talked about my slump (3 weeks, same weight) w/ Brian (our trainer) - he's encouraged me to up my exercise - aim for twice a day. But really, who wants to go to the gym twice in one day?! All I want for my birthday is some new metabolism. Please?
I know what I need to do is step up my game and just go "balls to the wall" (for lack of a better word) for the next few months. However, SAYING that...and actually getting out of bed at 5am are 2 vastly different things.
D starts a new job next Monday - which he's excited for. It's more money, but lousy hours. He'll be working midnight-9am - and the place is about 45mins to an hour from the house. So, a lot of planning will be necessary to maintain his routine. On the positive, he's been doing a new workout WITH Brian. Yup, he does what Brian does. Now, let me put this in perspective for you.
Derek = 23, 6'3", 510 pounds, former couch potato/currently in tech support
Brian= 52, 5'10",193 pounds, former bodybuilder/boxer/current personal trainer extraordinaire.
So, imagine being D doing the "Brian workout" WITH Brian. Holy shit, it's intense.
This post seems a little shallow...I guess it's just an update on where we're at - and a note that it's not as shiny and new as it once was. It's winter...it's cold, no one wants to leave their house. :)
More soon - including a rant about my impending b-day.
XO
