Muckhead's Chronicle

Still Breathing

Well I am still breathing, actually doing very well this week. I have now reached the 30lbs of weight loss, and I am heading to the 40lb mark. It has been 6 weeks now for Atkins, and I must say that if I can continue to loose 10lbs every 2 weeks I will reach my goal before my birthday (of which I turn 40 this year).

I am still religiously going to the gym everyday, alternating the cardio weight program I am on and just plain cardio workouts each day I go. I am bound and determined to take it off and KEEP it off this time.

Well like I said this has bee a great week, I am getting back at things and getting things done, and of course there's people that can be thanked for their support and dedication to my improved attitude (or lack there of).

Pitifull

I am really upset; smoking mad would be a better description though. I have been a fan for I don’t know how many years of the West Coast team. I have stood by and watched many different flavours of Canucks play though, and that is what hurts the most.

It is hard to cheer for a team when you don’t know which one shows up to play. Naslund was perfectly capable of racing down the ice and going to the net for almost 3 periods but it wasn't until the last minute that he thought he would give it a go. But that is just one example, I think there needs to be a big shake up in the organization. I think Linden should be given back the captaincy because Naslund is no leader. I think that some of the players need to be moved out of the organization.

I would rather see a team play their hearts out and loose than see them lolly-gag around the ice and only try when it is on their terms.

I think it is time to start cheering for a real hockey club.

Someone Special

There are people and there are real friends. I have one such person in my life that is truly amazing. This person has put up with a lot of a very dark side of me and I want to thank them. Just remember that with you I have seen the light at the end of the tunnel, and without you I truly would be lost.

I am in debt to you, always and forever.

Naslund Who?

Where the fuck is our superstar? Where the hell is the leadership? Pittsburg got rid of him years ago because he chokes in the playoffs, guess he hasn't changed. What this team needs is LEADERSHIP and TALENT.

At this point they are loosing 3-0. I am thinking maybe Ottawa or Montreal as a Canadian team to root for the rest of the season, because without a superstar the Canucks are dead in the water.

Uphill Climb

Well as many of you have noticed I have not recently been in the best of spirits. You might say I have reached a low, and I do say low point in my life. A personal issue from my distant past, along with no self confidence, is not a good mixture.

The good news is I think I have broken out of it, although it is an uphill climb. I have some very understanding people around me and I thank them for their unconditional support. The approach I have taken is to return a sound body in order to return the sound mind. I also will be working on some things in that great white bone ball on my neck, but I really think the self confidence will come from not being trapped in a big fat ugly body.

I am now over the 20lb weight loss hump on the Atkins way of life, and my exercise/workouts have proved to keep me on the right track. I should soon past the 30lb weight loss mark within a week or so, and more to follow.

It's an uphill climb, but one that I WILL complete and one that I will look back on as a great accomplishment.

The Weight Nazi

Ok, I am totally pleased with this morning's weight training. Like I mentioned yesterday I hired a professional trainer to introduce me to, and put me on an approved program to suit my specific needs and capabilities. Terrina Mason is great, and yet in the same aspect a real Weight Nazi (in a good way).

We started by measuring me all over (mind out of the gutter Arc ), so we can measure results every 6 weeks. I am also supposed to stay away from the scale, as I will be up and down at first.

It took almost 3 hours (mainly because I did some extra cardio), and I was tired afterwards. She suggested since I am on Atkins to eat / cheat and have a complex carbohydrate before the workout though. I can see why too, because I ran out of energy, induction Atkins doesn't mesh too well with this program. So I can cheat, and have a piece of fruit I figure before the workout.

Getting Serious

First off WELL DONE Canucks on the division title, and the recent success, it is good to see them play with heart again. And here I rescinded on my beginning of the year prediction for them going all the way to the finals. Maybe I will have to admit I was wrong to do so (boy I hope so).

Secondly, we took drive up to the Othello Tunnels this weekend, and strolled through the first set of them. It was quite a site, I had never been to them yet and the kids were really impressed.

Thirdly, I have decided to hire a BCRPA Certified Fitness Professional to help get me on the right track as far as my workouts are concerned. I used to know a lot more about cardio weights and proper workouts but that was over a decade ago. Terrina Mason works out of the Cheam Centre, and takes my personal health and goals into mind, and creates a proper workout system for me to follow. Let’s just say I am getting serious.

Another Little Kick In The Groin

Well today is a wonderful day, not a cloud in the sky. I get up cook breakfast for my family, and head off to the gym. There I spend over an hour working out and feeling rather satisfied I return home and check the mail. Hey, my SEP program cheque(s) are here, the entire month of March even, hey my month without any money has ended YEAH!

Well, a little kick in the groin, instead of paying me weekly like they usually do on the program the paid me this month in one lump sum. So, the tax man gets almost double his cut and leaves me still short for the month. LOVELY!

Ah the joy of being violated in the rectum! Maybe I should lubricate on a regular basis, life would at least be more comfortable.
