I have to force myself to live in the moment.

Short and sweet tonight. Just finished a leg workout. I was saying to a friend tonight how a leg workout isn’t as satisfying as chest or back because you don’t get to see the pump. I didn’t want to bother the skinny crew for a weigh-in so soon after the last embarrassment. I ripped the […]

Things are moving along here. Charlotte has a tournament in Ottawa this weekend, and it’s a real joy to come home and hang out with her, eat our dinner, and watch a movie. Ave comes and goes, and eats with us if she is here. The house is great. It’s cleaner than it’s ever been, […]
