Day 69 - It's been a while

Sorry everyone, I know it's been quite a while since I blogged.  I'm still on the program and feeling good...even with the 20 aftershocks a day and contaminated water.   Been reading your blogs as well and looks like everyone is going strong.  90 second planks....I'm not digging this at all.  I can do 90 seconds on the first try, the last 3 I barely get to 60 seconds.  I'm finding it's not that painful but my entire body starts shaking....
For all the egg whites we are having...I've gotten into the habit of drinking them raw with my milk...I don't even taste anything but my colleagues are calling me 'Rocky'.  Is there any advantage to raw over cooked?

Day 56 - Hope All in Tokyo are OK!!!

We just had the strongest quake I've ever experienced in Tokyo....all the drawers on my desk were flung open and dumped on the floor....REALLY SCARY!!!!

Day 56 - All Integrity Lost

Don't know if you remember an earlier post of mine where I said during the lat pulldown that the only thing I could think of was the 'integrety of that door anchor'.  Well, guess what?  During the row's last night in FULL extenstion, the anchor came loose and pegged me right in the stomach.  After writhing around in pain for 5 minutes I can see a large red welt on my stomach....oh man it still hurts...going from a lying down position to prone is brutal..

Day 55 - Ask Not What Your Body Can Do For You...

I used to struggle with the diet, was always hungry and craving.  That's starting to go away.  The one problem I have is when preparing my food at night for the next day.  For example, last night while boiling my cache of pasta, somehow a fistfull of the pene magically jumped out of the bowl and flew into my mouth.  I swear, it's not my fault!
Again, apologies for not being so active in the blogging universe...I'll try harder.  After I come home, eat, bathe the kids, put them to bed, and exercise...it's 9:30pm.  I have 30 minutes to chill.  Anyway, I have been reading all of yours as much as possible and even though I can't respond to you all, I'm with you in spirit!!

Day 54 - Pics are up

Didn't lose much weight at all this week...only down 1/2 kg down to 84kg.

Day 53 - I'm a Jump-Ropin' fool

Finally getting serious rhythm going and can go the 3 minutes without catching...UNLESS I think to myself 'hey, you're on a good run here'...then it's over.  I'm swimming in my suits and have to tighten the belt to the point where the material is buckling in the front.  Sort of a bittersweet moment as I feel great about the shape I'm in but I have to alter/buy new clothes now.  I can literally take my pants off without unbuttoning.

BTW...I heard some really bad news.  Richard has been cheating.  Yeah, that's right...I said it.  He's been posting pictures of his thin cousin in Malta(not Italy).  Only like 10 people started that society so they all look alike.

Day 52 - Indulgence Day Past

I indulged on Saturday for our second indulgence day.  I spent mine at a popular joint in Tokyo called Cafe 8, a Chinese place specializing in Peking Duck.  Washed it down with some oolong tea/shochu drinks...it was good. 

Day 47 - Pictures are up

I missed a week of pictures, so here they are.  Down to 84.5 wooohooo.  hungry...
