	    I read an article that stated the boomer generation extends 
	until 1965.  Never thought I was a boomer, but alas, I am.

    Well I had a great work out this morning.  I had a ton of energy and I
    used it all.  I have been out of working out since Shannon left me :-)
    and the weather had alot to do with it to.  
    
    I stopped Aerobics (due to a knee problem) and I lost interest in the
    weights with out my partner.  When I did do the weights, it was with
    my strenthg, I had dropped the weights down 5 to 10 lbs lighter, I was
    not working hard on my Carido etc..
    
    Then this week, I told my self I have to get back into this.  So I
    started a good weight program again and I tried had to work on my
    carido.   I got a good burn yesterday and it felt good.  So this
    morning I worked real hard and I feel great.
    
    I know I still would do better w/ my partner back, but I hope I can
    keep going.
    
    Or, gee - do you think it's becasue I am going to meet a few of you at
    the lunch next week??? that's a good motivator. :-)  
    
    Lou

    GOOD JOB LOU!!  PAT-PAT!
    
    I knew you could do it without me...   :)

    She really pushed the partner thing though, didn't she?  [^;=

    Ho boy, was out all last week with a wicked case of the flu but now I
    am back and hit the gym full blast for my last 4 weeks before my 2 week
    recovery break. This is my favorite time, because I get to try and
    destroy myself breaking plataues.
    
    With a one week unexpected rest, I hope to go like hell tomorrow.
    
    Brian

bzzzt! flu recovery time usually requires 3-4 weeks, Brian; be careful not to 
overdo as your immune system is more than likely still weakened from the flu and
excessive exercise could send you into a very real very slow recouperative 
cycle.

    Don't tell me that, this is the last month of my quarter my favorite
    time.  I have to admit today was chest and I was very dissappointed at
    how poorly I did this morning.  Oh well, leg day tomorrow.
    
    Brian

    Legs last night for me.... Streached and all, I still feel like someone
    has tossed me from the back of a truck.;(
    
    

	ILIW I come back from almost a week off due to the flu and an ear
infection and set a personal record for bench press. I pretty much slept for
five straight days, I guess I needed the rest.


						Rich......

egad, what is it with you folks attempting to do yourself in?! yes, Rich, the 
rest prolly gave you the extra oompf (congrats on the new pers best), but that 
extra oompf(s) just might put you back to feeling not so good.  be careful, 
don't overdue the 1st week after the flu, wait 'til the 2nd; nausea, vomiting, 
headaches, diarhea, fever, chills, etc may have all subsided, but the immune 
system is still very weak from all the heaving and spewing and aching and 
heaving and spewing and...

    I love it when ya win a small battle.  
    
    	The Gym that booted me here in Kanata has changed their minds and
    will allow to work out, even with out a partner!  All I have to do is
    sign a waiver form.  Cool by me.
    
    	So Monday (Tuesday latest) I'll be back in the Gym going full
    force!

  Does everyone remember about a month or 2 ago, I entered a reply in the
  "I hate it when" note about getting ripped off at our local YMCA ?
  Well guess what ? The police caught the guy who did it. Now I get to enter
  a reply in the "I Love it when" note. I don't know how the police caught him
  but I guess he ripped off a number of other people. When he was caught, in the
  interrogation, he admitted to stealing my money. The YMCA representative
  said that she talked to the juvenile's parents and they are eager to make 
  restitution. I got paperwork related to restitution from from the DA, filled 
  it out and mailed it back today. I wonder how long it will take to get 
  re-imbursed if ever. Hopefully, the kid has learned a lesson and will not do 
  something like this again.

    Good to hear it Keith.
    
    	And chances are the little $#!+ will do it again.  (I guess that's
    kind of an unfair assumption?)

    I love it when I start jogging outdoors again (hate running in wet or
    cold during winter) and bring the old dog to whip her back in shape.
    She has been on a diet for some time because she is starting to look
    like a barrel.  First two days she runs ahead of me looking at me
    saying come on master your slow.  Then the age sets in her gate slows
    and she is shuffling behind me.  Day 4 she won't run, my kids claim she
    is dying, me I tell them she is stiff and sore and out of shape thats
    all.  Start feeding her tylonal she perks up.  Get her running again by
    day 6, she is shuffling behind.  Last two days she is running ahead
    again.  I just wish I could rebound as quickly as her......

    I love it when 
    
    I hit the gym this morning after my 2 week rest period.  I love the
    fact that its getting warm enough where soon, I can dump the rag tops
    and long sweats and hit the gym in shorts and tank tops......
    
    I love the fact that I am stiff already, boy did I miss pushing my body
    to the upper limits and beyond.....
    
    B.
    
    I also love being a sicko

    all.  Start feeding her tylinol she perks up.  Get her running again by

	    I thought Tylenol was bad for dogs, but aspirin was okay.
	Maybe I have it backwards.

					Tim

    Well I finally did it!
    
    	I hit the 180lbs mark!  I know it may not sound like much to the
    heavyweights...but for someone who couldn't get past 179lbs for the
    past 3 years...it means something.  It's not all muscle of course, but
    I figure with every pound I shed of fat, I can replace it with muscles.
    It's alos got my confidence up...I know feel I can keep puttin' it on.

    Thats really great news and a big achievement.  How tall are you and
    whats your goal?
    
    I was platued (sp) for a long time, then I just upped my protien by an
    additional 35 grams a day and it is making a big impact.  Have you
    tried that?
    
    Brian

    Brian,
    
    I'm 6 ' and hoping to reach between 185 and 190 lbs.  And no, I haven't
    tried adding any extra protien to my diet.  I guess if I want stuff to
    happen, I'll have to take this a little more seriously?  
    
    Can ya tell me if this is a good deal for Creatine Monohydrate, it's
    35$ for 360 grams (Canadian)?  It says it's 100% pure, no fillers.
    
    	Jay

    Don't ask Brian questions like that; he appears to be one of the people
    that doesn't respond to creatine monohydrate (there really are people
    that don't).
    
    Personally, I wouldn't trust a label as much as I would trust a
    particular distributer.  I would much rather spend a little more money
    to purchase EAS who has a good reputation, rather than purchase only
    based on price and end up getting something that claims 100% pure but
    is in fact 99% filler (which happens with a number of companies).
