The incredible shrinking man

[shunn]

In other braggable news, my personal trainer insisted I brag to someone that I did 27 tricep pushups on my toes in tonight's session. Not all at once, though. In my first set, I did 12 on my toes and 13 on my knees. In my second set, I did 15 on my toes and 10 on my knees. This was between bouts punching and kicking the water bag and doing different sorts of crunches.

I've mentioned before that Laura and I are seeing a personal trainer to combat what I call "Chicago spread." Since starting about two months ago, I've gone from 217.5 lbs to 201.5. My all-time high two years ago, immediately after returning from Blue Heaven 2006, was 231.5. I am 2.5 lbs away from getting back to where I was on my wedding day, and I plan to keep going down from there. So expect more shouting when I'm down under 199.

And now I'm very self-conscious about talking about my workouts, so I'll stop.

Fab!

My trainer has decided it's time I acquired speed. This is very funny.

Speed as in amphetamines?!

Impressive!

Don't blame Blue Heaven. Blame the Pump!

The Pump inflated my rump!

The Cockney waitress liked you plump, Chump.

Ba-dump!

This doesn't rhyme, but you must be very muscular to begin with because I would have guessed your weight much lower than that. Not that I'm good at guessing people's weight. I never worked in a carnival or anything, but still...

Note: I tried to comment and discovered I wasn't logged on, so this might end up there twice. Oh, well!

HEY SKINNY

The weight gain was all because you bought a car, wasn't it?

No, it all preceded the car! The car gets us to our trainer!
