He looks like a dolphin out of water

Progress is being made!.. down several lbs and my muscle mass is going up! I can even start to see a two pack forming.



but first of all, I just want to say "I LOVE GOING TO THE GYM." its fun for several reasons. One, my trainer is awesome. Two, i love to watch the other people working out. NOW!, this may sound really horrible. But i told my trainer that I am glad that when i come to the gym, im not the biggest one there. HORRIBLE, I KNOW!!!... but it makes me feel better.

Anyways, Asani (my trainer) tried to get me into the pool and to do a ridiculous amount of planks. Well, i wasnt having it and of course i can be difficult.

Asani: Let's go swimming.
Me: No.
Asani: Why not? You will burn a lot of calories and build muscle.
Me: No, i dont look like David Beckham, so until you get me there. Im not getting in a pool.
Asani: Okay
Me: (to myself) that was easy.

Regarding the planks

Me: I HATE THEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSEEEE, how many sets are we doing today?!
Asani: 4
Me: How about 2
Asani: Now
Me: 3
Asani: 4
Me: okay, fine...
.... 5 mins later .....
Me: Is this the last one.
Asani: for you!
Me: (to myself) that was easy


You see, i complain a lot when im at the gym, but it is all in good fun. Except for when im dying on the mat because i can no longer hold my fat ass up during a third set of planks.... or when i have to run. But today was exceptionally entertaining, this old man plopped down on the mat besides us and started to have leg spasms. I, of course, being the good individual I am, WHIPPED out my video camera and took a video of this man. He looks like a dolphin out of water!

"It Looks Like a Contraption From an S&M Video."

Earlier today, i had awoke bright'n early to work out with my new personal trainer. Her name is Asani and she is extremely AMAZING!!!!!!!!!.. i honestly do not know what i would do without her. Wait, yeah i do, i wouldn't work out. Anyways, She really kicked my ass in the gym and I realized this is what i have in store for me, five days a week for all eternity (or until I look like David Beckham, aka for all eternity). Yeah, that part sucks, but i felt really good after the work out.. but i have several complaints (duh, i complain about everything). I hate sweating and being looked at when i feel most vulnerable like when im dying on the Ab machine.. or stuck on this leg machine that looks as if it came from a S&M video.

Embarrassing, agreed? Imagine the person sitting across from you lifting weights and facing your direction. Hmmmm, well thank goodness not that many people where there and no one was sitting across from me. But since im going 5 days a week, its bound to happen.

The day started off with RIDICULOUS amounts of running. Not looking forward to that again tomorrow...

Asani: Bobby, do you want some gum?
Me: I feel like im getting ready to go into convulsions after all this running, why would I want to have gum in my mouth to choke on?

Its been a long time. I shouldn't have left you.

Its been a long time since i last updated my blog. In fact, the last update was almost a year ago when I was in NYC seeing Madonna with my cousin Josh. I never did upload pictures of the show. Well, in case you wanted to see them, right now you are shit out of luck. My flickr account just expired and if i didn't have to pay $1100 dollars to move into my new jank apartment. I'd renew it and have access to the photographs. Oh well... you missed out.

Anyways, a lot has changed. Im not the same skinny boy i once was. In fact, im a cow. Psh, i gained 25 lbs since last September. But whateves, I have decided to train for a marathon (or at least act like I am). You see, all my friends are getting into shape and since I am now 23, i should do the same. I will keep you posted on that endeavor. I start tomorrow and im not excited. I hate running :(

BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I did help build a house on Saturday for Habitat For Humanity. I am the Volunteer coordinator at Eastern Michigan University and i decided to take several students to Monroe MI to help build a home.



Now......... i learned a lot on this trip. Number one being that I do not like going on a roof of a house. NOPE.... Not for me! Here is a lovely picture of myself ("the fat-bucket of yuck" (1)) "ACTING" like im hammering a nail into the roof.



You see, there was no nail in my hand. In fact, i sat in one spot with a tight grip on the roof. Im a 23 year old pansy, when it comes to shit like that. When i decided i was "over it" i required assistants to get down. Im not ashamed, it was a high roof and you'd do the same. On the way towards the ladder I had a conversation with the "trained" roof builder (or whatever you call them). It went something like this....

Roof Builder: Be careful getting down and coming back up.
Me: Im not coming back up, someone else can build the roof.
Roof Builder: Don't you want to know how? What if your roof leaks?
Me: Nope... Im gonna be a doctor.
Roof Builder: Well, even a doctors roof will leak.
Me: Then i will pay someone to fix it...
Roof Builder: What are you going to do on the ground?
Me: I don't know, build a picture frame or something...

Other then the roof situation, the day was fantastic! I realized that building a house is hard work and not as easy like they make it seem on "Extreme Makeover Home Edition." OH!!.. and i did make a picture frame with Bushra!
