  The overweight lover in the house.....

  So yesterday, did weightlifting using the 5x5 protocol. Did dumbell chest presses on the BOSU with 105 pound dumbells and the Hammer pulldown with 290, did 5 sets of 5 on both exercises with a minute and half rest between exercises. Finished off with curls and tri extensions.

  This morning, didn't get much sleep. Stayed up with the wife to watch "Vantage Point." It was an ok movie, but not ok enough for me to stay up till 12:30 in the morning to watch. I did make it to the gym at 7:15AM and did 30 minutes on the Treadclimber, maintained an intense pace.

  Unique but accurate observation about KHs from a "woldly" person

  i was out this weekend with a group of my "worldly" friends.

  the majority of them don't know that i'd been a witness in the past, nor did they know that my family still is.. i'm not sure how we got on the subject of religions, but one guy asked, "what's the name of those people who don't have windows in their churches?".

  several guesses were thrown out including amish and mennonites but he shook his head.

  Our hall, built 1992(?), has windows. Of course they are blocked off by large bushes strategically placed in front of them.

  Come on guys, check in!!!
  
  I did some damage this weekend, ballooned up to 310. The plan is to get back on track by keeping my diet close to the farm and working out 6 days a week: at least 90 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of strength training.
  
  Today: 45 minutes on the Treadclimber. After work I will do 45 minutes on the Arc Trainer. I will then do 30 minutes of lifting focusing on compund joint movements to get the most bang for the buck.

  Why would anyone want to break a board?

  JD, so they can save the world !!!!!!

  

  Congrats on the break. I broke my first board back in 1992 when I was testing for blue belt in Kuk Sool Won. I had to do a spinning heel kick.

  Good morning. I've somewhat written this week off, I am not following my regimen as I should. Plus I get to go to the DC this weekend and I am going to need a lot of comfort food to cope.

  Anyway, I did get up this morning and work on the treadclimber for 45 minutes and burned about a 1000 calories.

  Geoff Jackson came to Charlotte a couple of years ago visiting a family he used to study with in NY. Part of his trip included a visit to Discovery Place when it had the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit. A few of the congregation joined him on the tour and were amazed when he was able to point out the tetragrammaton to them in the scrolls. He also gave a special talk Saturday afternoon to our congregation, which was really just a feel good talk about the preaching work, he went over time by about 20 minutes. I do like Geoff, he is a hell of a lot more real person than silly putty face Steve Lett.
  
  I really don't know if Charlotte, NC would constitute a holiday, it's an ok city, but I would head out to the beach or the mountains nearby.

  We must be on the same schedule White Dove.... I didn't work out either. My excuse is I ate 10 hot wings late last night and my stomach was killing me.

  Didn't Raul Julia play a military dictator role once in a movie?

  Are you talking about his final role as M. Bison in "Street Fighter"?

  After cheating this weekend, gained 5 pounds!
  
  Today did an hour on the Arc Trainer, level 8 Weight Loss program, burned 1240 calories. Tonight I will do some kettlebell lifting. Got some yoga dvds coming in the mail. I need to do that to get some flexibility.
