Blond Gym Guy

Wednesday December 30th, 2009

36 hours until I'm in the air and 1 more sleep.

I worked really hard at the gym today, 30 minutes on the big E machine, 360 odd calories later and I was off to the shower to get ready for another day of work. J and I are talking about vacations. I tell him BF and I are heading to SA, he and his GF are heading to Cuba on the 3rd. I told him to get out of the all-inclusive rut. I did mention Hawaii but said he may have to get his GF a ring first.

A was at the gym too.. quiet as usual and didnt stick around long, maybe 20 minutes. On my way out, grumpy old dude pushed his way into the change room to pick up his keys that he forgot. It was like he thought we were going to steal his lame truck. J has his own truck and I have my nice SUV. Both newer and nicer than the old dude with the soul patch has ever had.

Old dude used to wear crocs to workout in.

Crocs.

He was spoken to.

Now he wears running shoes.

(In the dudes defence, J wears flip flops to work out in)

I want this shirt...and the abs to go with it. And the tan, even though I know it's bad for me.

Tomorrow I have a plan..gym, oil change, hair, tan last minute packing..limo.

I have a whole bunch of things to wrap up so hold on.

I have 60 hours until I'm in the air to London. Then Dubai, then Capetown. Thats YYZ-LHR-DXB-CPT for all of you in the know. I leave on the 31st, get there on Jan 2nd. In economy. The whole way. Fuck. Please Emirates, if you are reading this, please bump me up to business class on at least one leg. I promise I'll be good this year. I am silver tier soon to be gold tier.

I'm confused..why do guys insist on wearing thier short/pants below thier undies so you can see the waist band? Very rarely do I find it sexy. I'm mean, do you really think I care that you wear Hanes that are too big for you because you are so skinny? Do you think those baggy boxers make you look sexy? Unless you are ripped, I could care less. And what is it about the underwear that goes to your knees?

I find basketball shorts and muscle tops at the gym very sexy. Only if you have good arms..ONLY.

This is a perfect example of GOOD..

My Wii remote is fucked up. I tried replacing the batteries and resetting but no luck. I'll try again tonight and if not just buy a new one. I'm pissed and panic'd all at the same time.

Lulu Lemon shorts make my ass look good when it doesnt really. I cant imagine how the gods of the gym would look in these shorts.

I have to pack, get my hair cut, do laundry, hit the drugstore, figure out what books need to be taken, take care of my dry cleaning, turn off the water, remember to pack a pair of running shoes, work out 2 more times at least, visit my folks, sleep, eat and breathe!

I'm at the gym yesterday..Spin class is due to start up.

I start looking at the guys in the class as I wrap up my 45 min workout. They are all fat..all of them!. I went to spin class twice a few years ago with the bf. The same guys are in the class. A few years later and a few years overweight. Nothing has changed. I also think all of these guys have some sort of lycra fettish. They all like the gear. Sad it looks like shit on them.

BTW- It was legs/back/abs and a bit of arms day. My ass is sore.

Congrats to Joe McElderry who got his New Years #1 in the UK. He's so damm cute.

4 more days until I'm on a plane to Cape Town.

My head has been killing me today for some reason.

I got Wii Sports Resort today. Have yet to play it as I just wasnt in the mood.

It's also a big work day.

My friend/roomate the PT has told me that I really need to give up diet soda, or at least cut back in my goal to get abs by forty. She says it's something about fucking up my insulin levels which is the first time someone has explained it to me in a way that makes sense.

Happy holidays to all that are reading the blog.

I'm sitting in front of the TV watching the World Juniors on TSN, whilst looking for games for the new Wii! It turns out I I bought one for my brother as a housewarming gift. I loved playing it with him so much that I went to the store with my enabler/roommate and I got it!. Very spur of the moement.

This is Genco Ecer. He's Turkish. He's cute and the song is catchy.

I have to take the BF to the airport tonight..he's flying a week ahead of me.

My throat is sore again, lingering from last week and from me not getting enough sleep. Tis the season I guess.

Another week and I'll be warm in Cape Town.

I hit the gym last night and this morning, which will make up for the miss on Friday. The gym was decently busy for 6am and the regulars were there perhaps to get a last chance workout in before they go on a week long eating and drinking binge. J and A were there. J is getting amazing abs remarkably quick and the makes me jealous. Nothing I can do about it but play my own game. I'm 8-9 years his senior and when he hits 35, all hell will break loose. All of the sudden his metabolism will slow to nothing and those 3 beers he has on Friday night will hang around his belly like a noose.

I found a new blog..SilverCloud, which reading yesterday made me sooo horny my BF and I went at it for over an hour last night. I am a very visual and audio guy. I love nothing more than hearing and seeing and it gets me turned on. I used to by those small paperback books with all the gay hook-up fiction. Nothing turned me on faster.

BTW-My bf loves my bigger pecs. It's making me think of getting a nipple piercing.

I'm at the gym today and realize that I need to step it up.

The defining moment..a look in the gym mirror. No one is there, so many regulars are skipping workouts. J is there though, but I dont expect that to last. (No sign of creepy arab guy who I can't figure out if he is perving me or my trainer)

Abs, arms and ass, especially the ass, all need work. I see a lot of squats in my future and a lot less ice cream.

The gym gets quiet over the holidays. This is when I feel most energized to step it up and push beyond my comfort zone. I may even double up workouts tonight and try and push past my sore throat.

Abs By Forty Update: I promised before pics, They are coming. I weighed myself yesterday. 180lbs Pretty much what I expected. I dont expect to lose weight, just fat.

Work work work. Type type type.

Boss is gone.

The task I have to do sucks.

Hence I’m doing a blog entry and surfing the web!

 

So I was at the gym. It was cardio day.

 

A was there with his girlfriend who didn’t want to be there. A has nice arms, A has great abs..I can’t see them but I can tell they are there under the shirt.  A has crap legs..twigs.

 

J was there, sans GF. J has nice arms, not as defined as A, but good. J’s abs are hidden behind some fat much like myself, but I’ve seen him in the shower and he doesn’t need abs or arms if ya know what I mean.

 

I have a feeling both are bastards to their respective girlfriends. I don’t know this for sure..Well maybe in one instance.

The old Italian was there, the blond dandy was there and that was about it for interesting folks.

 

It’s amazing how quiet the gym gets when the holidays arrive. Just when everyone should kick it up.

Worked the arms a little bit too at the end of my workout. The kid with the enormous head was there too. He has a tiny frame, but man the kid needs to cut his hair so he doesnt look so awkward.

No drama, nada.

Like the nipple piercing on this guy

Another day another dollar in my world.

Do you ever get that lingering feeling that you are on the verge of a really bad cold? That’s me yesterday and today.

Maybe it’s all the healthy eating. Maybe my body is craving something bad. Anyways.. I will be having some ice cream tonight. It’s hump day treat night.

In other news I’m thinking about how I need to change my life in order to work less and be truly free.  I would love to live in Cape Town year round. I’ve read the 4 hour work week and am intrigued but my first shot at internet fortune didn’t work out. Luckily I did take the book’s lessons to heart and lost little to no money on the venture/experiment.

Half an hour after I type this I got to feeling much worse..legs shakey, head aching, stomach upset.

11am: Headed home..

12pm: Head upstairs with the cat for a nap.

1pm: Wake up but feel awake and not one bit tired

1pm-3pm: Slept like the dead

3pm: Woke up with really bad bed head

3pm-4:30pm: Work a bit

4:30-6:30: Dinner at folks and visit the nephew

7pm: Home.. putter, clean play with I tunes, clean my room, wait for Ice cream!

Am I better? I don’t know. It’s really hard to say. I don't feel 100%

Dec 15th 2009, Tada!

This is what I want.. on the left bicep anyways...

Dec 14, 2009

Great day at the gym today. In,  worked up a sweat, 360 calories in 30 minutes and out. It was relatively quiet with just a hint of insane man hotness.

What a crappy day though after a weekend away in the hot hot sun.

So far, so good, only a protien shake for lunch.

A good tattoo idea:

 


 

Dec 10, 2009- The Launch of Something Special

Drum roll please...badadadadadad

Abs by Forty!

My new year's resolution/project is to get ripped/jacked/built by August 30th 2010, the day I turn 40.

Over the next 2 weeks I will be reviewing what needs to be done and taking some before pictures so I have something to measure myself by. Be warned, the pictures may not start out hot.

The goal.. big arms, bigger ass, 6 pack, low body fat, proportionate legs, no muffin top..you get the picture.

Over the next 8 months you may also see some new tattoos appear too. I have found some amazing pics and I think I am close to a decision.

Another note:

I need time..lots of it.

I get up in the morning, rush to the gym, rush through my shower, rush to work.  Personal grooming takes a back seat. It’s so bad I have to make personal calls during my commute just to stay on top of everything. And let’s be frank, I don’t make a lot of personal calls.

I don’t do personal work at work.

When I get home I try to entertain myself and wind down. I’m in bed by 10pm at the latest.

It’s so bad I am getting headaches from my head all the way down to my spine.

It’s sad when the gym is the most relaxing part of my day.

I dream of South Africa where life seems simple on some ways. Time stretches out. I feel more cosmopolitan. It seems like help is available and cheap in Cape Town.

Less than 3 weeks to go.. I leave Dec 31^st.

My goal is to talk to some people in Cape Town about finding a headhunter to help my job search in SA.

It turns out I am legal to work there. One day I may get to live the dream on a permanent basis.

Dec 9th, 2009

The gym was dead this morning. The Boif and I hit there at 6:30. The usually eye candy and none of the crap. A brilliant workout in 20 minutes where I pushhed myself a lttle bit more than usual. All of the gym talkers were away due to the snow. Only the hardcore members were there today..Mark, Jamie, Sam & Mario.

Perhaps I'll go again tonight. We'll see.

Still thinking of getting the tattoo, but I'm waiting for my arms to get bigger and more defined.
