Ouch

by Moby — Categories: muscle, random thoughts — 5 Comments

I’m still having issues with my shoulders. I guess I tweaked’em more than I thought originally. I haven’t been to the gym in almost 3 weeks now and I’m chomping at the bit (so much for my 200lb goal, for now anyway). I can still feel twinges of annoyance from my shoulders when I raise my arms into certain positions over my head that involves pulling or pushing. With Apple guy here I doubt I’d have a decent gym schedule anyway so the timing is pretty good I guess.

The other upside is I’ll miss the influx of noob’s getting their NY’s resolution on.¹ Whateva. I wish you mofo’s luck. If you want some advice, don’t overdo it, slow and steady is the key. And for the love of crackers, don’t hog the frackin’ benches while you’re talking on your phone. If you do, I can’t be held responsible for the trip to the ER to have said device removed from a random orifice on your body.

for all of a month before they burn out [↩]

Parts

by Moby — Categories: health, me, muscle — 8 Comments

Ugh! I think I’m getting old.¹ lolol I’m realizing my 2001 parts aren’t as resilient as they used to be.

No sooner do I get back into a good solid gym routine after recovering from straining my shoulder and I manage to strain the other fracking shoulder! Its not a major injury mind you. I’ll probably have to lay off the heavy weights for only a week or two. I’m more annoyed than injured.

Fortunately, I still have all my original parts and everything still works. (knock on wood) Truth be told, I’m in pretty good shape. I doubt I’ll ever be as ripped but that’s ok with me. I’ve slowly worked my way up the muscle chain over the years. Here I am a month away from being 39 and I’m 5 lbs² shy of breaking 200 lbs! And from someone who used to weigh 90 lbs soaking wet, that’s a big deal! Of course, some of that is fat weight but the ratio is very healthy and let’s face it, I like to eat. lol And while such a goal could be accomplished in a shorter time frame, being healthy has always been my primary focus. The purdy muscles are just an added benefit.

Anyway, I’ve always wanted to hit 210lbs. I’m sure I’ll eventually hit it but patience has never been one of my better virtues. lol I’m actually looking at combining resistance and interval training together. Last time I did that, I really noticed a difference. Of course, that is AFTER the shoulder is all better again.

well my body is [↩]

Rough & Tumble

by Moby — Categories: drama, muscle, random thoughts — 2 Comments

This week has started off a bit rough. I had another bout of insomnia Sunday night so didn’t fall asleep until almost 4 am. Needless to say, I didn’t make it to the gym on Monday. I was dead tired on my feet yesterday but a friend was in town from Denver and I really wanted to see him so ended up going out after work. I didn’t stay out long though. At one point, I was nodding off while he was talking to me! I came home and didn’t even turn on the computer. I think I was asleep 5 mins after my head hit the pillow.

I had a good workout today but it went a little long and I was almost late to work. Didn’t get time to stop and pick up healthy food either. Luckily, work had a St Paddy’s feed and we had plenty of fresh corned beef, cabbage, tators, and carrots. YUM! I feel like a big ole tick about now.

So far, I’ve been handling the longer work schedule better than last time. My gym schedule has suffered a bit over the last couple weeks but I’m trying to get back on track.¹ I tend to rebel mentally when I’m constantly on the go. I don’t like it and I find after a while I just get in a “I ain’t doing shit” sort of mood. But, as TFA would say, it is what it is. I just need to suck it up and get back on track. I did both Chest & Tri’s today and pushed myself to finish. I had to drop the last set but only due to time constraints.

People have been asking about Beefy boy. I didn’t hear from him all week or over the weekend. I got an email on FB yesterday. He had to go back to Hawaii for personal reasons. He says he’ll be back. In this economy, I’m not so sure.

And while I can be forgiven for forgetting a get-together on Sunday, my behavior towards another guy this past weekend isn’t so easy to forgive. I mentioned a few posts back, I “met” a guy recently who really wanted to go on a date. He was fun and I figured it would be worthwhile. Anyway, he emailed me a couple times last week trying to arrange some time together. I replied I’d be interested. However, the weekend arrived and I just totally didn’t feel like it. Like a turd, I didn’t follow up. Granted this was only a booty-call scenario and we hadn’t set anything definite, but I still feel like a schmuck. I could have emailed or even picked up the phone. I hate when guys flake on me so I definitely know better. I got an email from him early yesterday. He was a bit peeve’d, rightfully so. I called him back but he was at work. I called again later but he didn’t answer, I left a message. I apologized for my behavior and explained a bit but the reasons don’t really matter. I was a jerk, I own it. If he doesn’t call me back, I’ll completely understand. If the situation were reversed, I might not call him either.

On the up-side, I have some fun time arranged with a regular buddy tonight. Maybe it ill help get me out of my funk.

I was particularly lazy this past weekend, I didn’t go once [↩]

Tuff Stuff

by Moby — Categories: muscle, work — Comments Off

Well, the new shorter gym schedule seems to be working so far. Keep in mind I’m only into my first week on the new shift. The biggest hurdle for me is going to bed sooner. Being a bit of a night owl, I tend to be awake for 2 or 3 hours after I get off work. This does not make for being an early riser. heehee

I had a nice triceps workout today. I’ve been neglecting them lately so they are feeling extra sore at the moment. My triceps always seem to respond really well so I’ll have them poppin’ in no time. And considering the new tattoo rolls right across my right tricep, that be important! lol

Things are not so rosy at work. With the economy in the toilet, our dept¹ is being asked to cut up to 25% of our budget. While my dept. is immune to layoffs, it does not bode well. We will probably have to give up days off as well as a cost of living raise scheduled for April. The latter is particularly bitter as we already gave up raises for next year.

All things considered, I’m happy to have a job.

even though we still are below our staffing requirements
