This is just cresting the hill at the top of Flanders Rd. I’m always tempted to shout “Hey doodly,” in this area. When I finally slowed down, I saw this four foot long black snake, just basking at the roadside. He didn’t seem to mind posing for this shot.

Weight: 188Waist: 38 I didn’t wander off – not by much, anyway. I’ve still been working out and dieting, but I’ve stopped using this blog as a daily recorder and have been using Fitday.

I have a core Ab routine, which I stick to 3 days a week: Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Depending on time I’ll do more sets, or augment it with other exercises. Some of these exercises probably have common names, but I don’t know what they are; I’ve just picked them up over the last year. [...]

This one goes to eleven!

Three months ago when I started at Horizon’s Gym I could barely do situps on a flat surface. Each week, we’d move it up a bit or add some weight. At my last session, the crunch board had been moved up for someone who was doing some serious work. I asked to leave it there. [...]
