Happy Saturday Night, everybody. No drinking for me tonight.

Time to get back into training.

I was putting on a shirt for work yesterday morning, and it was getting a little tight around the waist. So, not having worked out in two whole months, I decided to start getting some daily exercise again.

I started slowly this afternoon with a little cardio and some weight-lifting. I don't think I added a milligram of muscle mass with that. But it's a start. I feel, physically, the best I have in two months.

1. Yea, I was telling my wife tonight I've put on five pounds at least.

Time to go back to work...lol

Trips to the refrigerator are not exercise...

2. I'll tell you what, my friend.

I'll do enough drinking for the two of us tonight. I wouldn't want you to feel like you are letting down the rest of the gang (how noble of me).

3. I cheated a little and took some cannabis tincture.

I don't know how many calories are in that, but probably nowhere near as many as I consumed in alcohol form last night.

Just because I'm in training doesn't mean I don't want to step out a little once in a while...

10. I am not an al

I am not an al-kee, hic.

I am not an al-cuh-all, burp.

I am not an alcoholic. I am looking for a convenient excuse to drink more this Saturday night and you provided me with one (enabler). Enjoy your cannabis tincture.

13. I know, I know.

I've led many astray...

14. That is actually a specialized talent.

One of the few things that I was really good at was being a bad influence. At least that's what the wives of my closest friends have told me.

8. I got your back, baby!

[Aristus]

11. GLAMROCK!!!

Good to see you!

12. I knew that Aristus wouldn't have any difficulty to take up the slack.

However, since you got my back baby, do you have my baby back ribs?

4. when the gym was open I went. 3 or 4 times a week and felt great.

With the quarantine I have not been able to self motivate despite having bicycle machine, treadmill and hand weights at home. This past week I signed up with a trainer that meets me at a park twice a week. Amazing how good it feels to exercise again and being outside is an added bonus. The park is largely empty but I wear a mask and stand 12 feet away from the trainer 🙂

6. The owner of the gym I go to is planning and recording virtual workouts from home

and streaming them to his members. I haven't been able to bring myself to join in. But I've made a start, working out on my own for now.

7. Just getting started is a big accomplishment, so hurray!

[Aristus]

9. Thank you.

start moving around more. I gained enough weight to not fit into my jeans so I had to adjust my diet and start exercising. I lost 2/3 of it in three weeks but I still need to knock off some more. Now that winter seems to be over, cross my fingers, I can be outside more. I did plant seeds indoors that will go into the garden later... gardening is good for you and makes you work out one way or another but the reward is usually worth it.

15. "Now that winter seems to be over"

Lordy I’m hoping so. I finally got out and did some major work in the yard this week...crossing my fingers we are done with snow for the season. I’m so sore! You’d think I haven’t lifted a finger all winter.

16. I hear you.

i was down on the farm last year... not doing that again. I'm going to adjust to retired life a little more since nothing will be going on for a while. Guess I'll grow some food so I don't starve over the next long winter. I plan on doing some canning this year. It's all going to hurt but if I don't keep moving I'll be like the tin man on a rainy day.

And I confess, I have not done a damn thing all winter! And I ain't ashamed of it neither.

17. A Simple, not easy, Way to Lose Weight

Make sure your identification is in order. Go out side. Face east. Walk until you encounter salt water. Turn around. Walk back. Make sure you call in at work.
