Hmmm, I'm beginning to feel slightly sniffly as if there's a cold on the way.
Maybe I should stop training twice a day and let my body sort it out.
It would appear that I have successfully hit the 90kg to 95kg range. I weigh myself each time I go to the gym and in the beginning of the year I was in the 105kg to 115kg range. In the past couple of months I have been 95kg - 100kg but for the past weeke or two I have consistently been around 95kg or lower. VICTORY!

Xtro last Friday was great.
nearly_everyone was there and I got to chat to and see people I really don't get to see often enough. Met a rather cute girl there, but wasn't sure if any attraction was mutual. There was a 'moment' I think, but I let it go just in case. Also decided that the next time I do Slimes I'm gonna try to do it sober and unmuntered. Hmm, let's see how that goes...

This week has been the same old. Continuing the roll-out of service Pack 4 for Win2k. Hardly exciting, but at least the people I work with are good and not particularly boring.

I think tonight I'll work on my chest, biceps and triceps. And then do a class or two.

Friday I'll see velvetfur for a few hours while she's waiting for her bus to Holland and on Saturday it's time for a picnic. I have a sneaky feeling I might end up at Slimes afterwards, but time will surely tell.

you've done an amazing job on the weight. did you take measurements before you started? how do they compare now?

[lpetersson.livejournal.com]

Thanks :)
I haven't measured my leg/arm/stomach size in inches if that's what you mean.
If you mean weight, then I know that I was pushing into the realm of 120kg - 130kg a few years ago and that was pure fat as I didn't do any strength training then.
Last year I lost a bit of fat and gained a lot of muscle that was hidden, so it's the deceptive fat I'm now trying to get rid of.

yes, sorry i was interested as to inches lost, as you are probably quite a different shape now with all the extra muscle. fab job, your gym should use you on their ads! :)

I didn't measure as such, but I just remembered that a year ago my usual Levi's were 40" and my 38" Levis were a bit too tight.
I have now thrown my 40" away, my 38" are too loose to fit without a belt.
The 36" pair I bought are comfy :)

I still have a bit of a beergut, but I'#m trying to get rid of that by eating smaller portions when I eat and by not drinking so much beer :)
When I flex my arms there is a small layer still covering the muscle.
My legs have hardened and my thighs are somewhat smaller and less wobbly than they used to be. I have determined that from how well I fit my jeans...

Wow, well done, Lars!!!

But be careful with working out if you have a cold. I heard that if you have a virus and go to the gym, it could get really bad and turn into a chest virus that can be really hard to get rid of.

Thanks, and yes I do need to be careful not to overdo it, but the sniffle seems to have gone away now :)

[camillat.livejournal.com]

Well, that's good! :-)

ha! yes, come to slime. I will be getting off work at six. I can meet you at thepicnic or somewhere else. I am celibrating the end of 70- 80 hour weeks, two of them. So some beer will be had. I can't really afford the pub, on the other hand I know a couple good ones not far from regents park. I do also have many cans of carlsberg left. I will invite richard out as well. I think you get on with him.

Sold!
Unless something else comes up (Involving lot's of nubile young women and chocolate) I'll be there :)
And yeah, I get on with Richard. He's a nice guy.
