Well I joined this because I play roller derby, or rather I did and I will be again soon and I haven't played in months so I've lost all my stamina and muscles. I'm pretty disorganised so I thought if I joined this it would sorta kick my ass a bit.

Well, here I am gutting it out. Exercise is not fun right now while I'm wearing one of those big, ugly mid-calf walking support boots for a tendon problem caused by overzealous amounts of hockey. I seem to have injured my extensor hallucis tendon, for those of you familiar with skates, that would be A.K.A. Lace Bite. Don't ever skate 4 games in brand new skates!

I am proud of myself though for making it to the gym the last two nights. I've ended up on the recumbent bike and walking on the treadmill, along with some modified leg weights and my full upper body program. Hopefully I can make some upper body progress to cancel out the stalling out of my lower body.

And so it goes again. Earlier this year I began working out every day and the change was fantastic! I went from 180lbs and mostly fat to 180lbs and quite a bit of muscle. It was awesome!

But then my wife got pregnant (woo!) and I stopped working out and started eating.

a lot.

and now I'm back to the 180 of fat. d'oh!

So starting monday, I'm back on track.. gotta start working out again and get back in shape!

arrrr!!
