Workout Update and Weekend Trip

[roby_panther]

I had my first workout today since last Wednesday when I hurt my hip a bit. It was good to get back into the flow. I also weighed in this morning and I'm now at 295.4, down from 307 over the first 6 weeks. If I can keep up this pace of about 2 pounds a week, I will hit my goal of 215 by the end of the year. Hopefully I can avoid too many more

aw damn wish I knew you were traveling...cause if my internal geography is correct, then you would have driven right by DeKalb.

I'm looking at your tags: you play disc golf?

Played for the first time with Nbowa & Tzup. I pretty much stunk it up, but it was a lot of fun, even with the crappy ground conditions. I took I-74 across Illinois so I passed through Champaign, Peoria and Galesburg. I wouldn't have been able to stop though, this was just a drive out Friday, drive back Sunday deal. I wouldn't have done it under normal circumstances, but since I couldn't go to FWA, I wanted to catch Tzup before he went back to Australia for a while.

Good Times Man! Yeah those Iowa furs know how to party LoL. Way to go on working towards your goal! Sounds like your on the right path!

I'm defintely on the path. It's nice to see the little improvements in the workouts too. Today we used a balance board (if you aren't familiar with it, think half sphere with the round part on the floor and you standing on the flat part) to do some squats. The first time we used that thing, I couldn't even stand on the board without the personal trainer using his foot to steady it for me. Today I was able to do some mini squates (albeit wobbly ones) without the PT having to intervene at all.

Hey hey whats up Roby! Its Raver. Hey wanted to tell you it was nice meeting ya and stuff its to bad i couldnt stay the whole weekend up there with you guys but i know i wasn't REALLY invited to stay i think it was more the less Tzup and Nbowa feeling bad about kicking me out so they could have some one on one time with you. Well i had my time up there and that was all good n stuff and i got to meet you so i won't complain plus i dunno how to play discgolf or go geocaching. I was actually hoping to play a bit of tennis with Nbowa and if we all had rackets we could have played a little doubles but i spose we can do that sometime this summer if you make the trip back down here. Anyways I won't blab your ears off so drop me a line!

Oh yeah btw thanks for the vest. It will be nice to wear when i go out for my daily walk instead of wearing my other hotter jacket. Oh yeah your dog was like ubber cool to i dunno if you saw he came up on the couch and snuggled with me a bit while you were in the bathroom brushing your teeth and cleaning up that sat morning =P.

[roby_panther]

Yeah, I did see that. I commented that he had found a new friend when I came out. He's such a shy pup overall, but loves to snuggle with people. I swear he'd stay on the bed all day if I let him.

[roby_panther]

Will do. I actually brought my racket as well in case he wanted to play. I suck, but I have fun. I had never geochached or played disc golf either. They were both pretty fun and I like doing about anything outdoors.

OMG what did Tzup and Nbowa tell you about me?

[roby_panther]

Don't worry, they didn't share any secrets.
I don't think they wanted to scare me away before I completely fall for the trap :)

Hopefully I can get the pics up as soon as I can figure out how to take them down to a more postable size.
