The ass is still working...

Almost two weeks after I posted about starting at the gym, and I'm still going. I've gone about nine or ten times since I last posted, and my body's loving me for it. My clothes aren't, as they're smelly and sweaty, but that's the price you have to pay.

So far I'm liking it. I do hate getting all sweaty, though, but my arms feel tighter after working some of the weight machines there. I spent a few sessions on the exercise bikes, and then moved to treadmills, and then today I tried the cross trainer. Yowch. That thing really gets your heart going, and your muscles burning. On the treadmill, I'd keep my heart rate at 160-165. On the crosstrainer, the lowest I could keep it was 176. I'm going to have to take it easy on that thing.

My sister had her baby, and I'm now the proud uncle of a little baby boy named Raven Michael. He's a cutie. I haven't seen him in person yet, but I will when I go down to Longview for Christmas with the family.

It's been busy here, which explains for the lack of any postings in the journal. You know I'm busy if I'm not wasting time pontificating about crap that most people don't care about.

Anyway, enough of my rambling. Time to go sweep the driveway of needles and tree debris and then take a shower. Happy Holidays!
