Brother's Gonna Work It Out

"Oh Gawd!" (Randy knows how to do this justice)
So the transformation continues, with today being the official start of my training. It's a long road ahead, I'm sure filled with longings for fat juicy USDA prime marbled steaks and temptations to give into laziness. But I must persist, and stick to it, and keep sight of the end goal -- emerging from the year-long gauntlet at least 20 pounds lighter and 100 pounds stronger, with a clear peaceful mind and a lowered health risk.

But sheez...I can tell it's going to be hard. It's only been about 5 hours and I can start to feel the soreness creeping on. Especially my shoulders. Eek. On Wednesday, I definitely need to crank it up a bit on my back, as I don't feel anything yet. And really have to get back my cardio -- freakin' 10 minutes on the PreCor is downright wussiness! Those days of running to/from tennis practice is eons ago. Damn do I feel old. But I'm grateful to having good friends supporting me in this effort. I definitely feel the love. (You guys know who you are...I owe you a fat dinner!)

Next up...hair. Then my outfit! I feel so queer-guy-for-the-straight-eye. Or is it straight-guy-for-the-queer-eye? Eh, whatever.

I just hope I find myself a place to live. First week in September and I still don't have a place. Grrr. And next weekend's a wash, with the Laguna Seca event (WOO HOO!!!! Can't wait!). And aw damnit...it's performance review time at work. Damn. I gotta write 8 performance reviews. Eek. Gonna be a crazy month. Craaaaay-zay.

you don't necessarily have to use *soreness* as a gauge of "how good" a workout is. but you did well today so keep it up. i forgot to tell you to stretch when you get home since we kinda ran out of time today. anyways, stay up playa!
