Training is still going well....
...I think. I snuck in a work out and was on the treadmill here at home on Friday. I was extremely sore all day, especially in my arms right where they meet the shoulders. It was hard to lift them above my head.
I got up Saturday morning and headed to the gym. I am a morning person, sorta (or I used to be one), so the morning workout was okay by me ( Read more... ) -
PT - Day 2
Yesterday, Papatuna had me work on my upper body. I had no clue just HOW bad I had left it go. I mean, I know my back and legs are stong and under all this fat, my abs are not too bad. But, the shoulder and arms do not get used that much in the computer field, I guess. And, I've not been working them like my legs (they carry alot of weight ( Read more... ) -
Tired....
...and a little sore.
Yes, that describes me right now. Why? Well, I am not sure if I said this here or not, but I had come to the realization that I am old and fat. Ok, I cannot do anything about being old (and I am not that old anyway), but I am fat and that I can do something about. So, for the past few weeks, I've emailed personal trainers ( Read more... ) -
Home improvements
As some of you know, we bought our house in Tampa when T moved down here after I took a new job/career. One of the things we wanted to do is remodel our kitchen (though the 2.5 baths need updating too). We've priced it out, the low end being around $8K for the materials (and we can do a lot of the labor ourselves) and the high end being $60K which ( Read more... ) -
Our first Gasparilla
Yesterday, we got up early. It was Gasparilla day, the invasion and parade of pirates through Tampa and we wanted to see it. We were not sure what to expect and the “invasion” was not supposed to happen until 11:30 or so when the “pirate” ship, along with the floatilla (escort boats) came into the bay. The Krewes would then board busses and move to ( Read more... ) -
Walking the dog(s)
Our neighborhood association has a tradition of luminaries and a decorating contest every year. For those who have not seen luminaries, they are some type of translucent container (paper lunch bags) weighted down with sand or something (we use bird seed or squirrel food) with a (tea) candle inside. These are placed along side the road and the ( Read more... ) -
Talents?
I read this in the paper. Yes, the newspaper, that archaic dinosaur way of getting news to the masses; we still get the paper for some reason. Anyway, I was moved by an article titled “Congregation Practices What Jesus Preached”.
What? Me moved by an article having to do with Christianity? Why, it must be the spirit of Christmas, the holy ( Read more... ) -
Not bad
Well, I set out to clean my office and put up a ceiling fan. T had some tasks for me today too. Well, the office is still a wreck, not even a dent. I did get some things done. I moved the cabinette we brought when we first moved in. I bought two, actually. I turned on into a computer cabinette and the other was to be used to store the laundry ( Read more... ) -
Getting ready for the onslaught of guests.
Well, Christmas is almost here and it will be our first down here in Tampa. My folks are coming down for Christmas and T's folks and her younger brother will be down for New Years. The house looks, well, lived in. Now, I know my folks do not expect it to be sparkling clean , but we definitely need to clean this weekend. I have a new ceiling fan I ( Read more... )
