Alpha Particles (are really really small)
Been a week since I blogged. Since last Tuesday, I have worked out at the gym four times and walked for an hour at lunch four times. Trying to keep up the pace. Diet has been good, though Friday and Saturday were killers, lots of beer! This week I have been doing very well. Going to fore-go the beer for awhile. Should be easier with a Boy Scout weekend coming up to keep me occupied.
Gym notes: I have been making significant strides in the strength area. Personal 2 personal bests to note. Incline Bench press of 205 lbs. This is significant because I never got over 200 on this exercise before shoulder surgery. The other was last night. I did a rack pull of 500 lbs (like a dead lift but the weight is suspended just below your knees). I thought I might get 400 lbs but I kept going. Finally hit the 1/4 ton mark on something.
Diet is starting to hit a groove. Yogurt and maybe oatmeal for breakfast. Spinach/Tuna salad for lunch. Dinner I don't worry too much about, just watch portions. Protein shake in the afternoon or at night if I'm hungry.
Now a little more encouragement from that scale would be nice.

Alpha Dude -- I've heard that theory about body building men --- big muscles, small . . . . (not a very good incentive if you ask me) (probably why I never dated one!)
Pammy -- you must be a bitch - giving up smokes and sex (with the Dog anyway) YOWSA. Hang in there, I am very proud of you for quitting smoking. And we will not be watching to judge you (much) but will be there for support. I was going to suggest that everytime you want a cigerette have sex instead -- but I'm affraid the old Dog can't take it!

The winky doesn't shrink just because you lift weights. I can't do anything about size of that, so getting rid of the belly is my best bet.
