Feels SO GOOD to be back in the gym, and I'm actually pretty pleased with the progress in regaining mass that I'm seeing (see photo) after 4 months of SEVERE wasting from the Sepsis.

In need of motivation and attitude adjustment!
MAN, this Post Sepsis Syndrome garbage is kicking the energy right out of my proverbial Rear End! I'm beginning to get back into weight training, in an effort to build some muscle back onto these bones, but it's slow going. I'm in dire need of some motivation and a strong attitude adjustment; partially because I get a bit…

Hey Under Armour, FIX THIS DAMNED SITE!!!
Arghhh! I guess it shouldn't surprise any more, but I log in to close out my database for the day, and there, in big red numbers, it shows I was 3,364 calories over, for today. I already guessed what was up but checked anyway. Many of my entries, for today, had been repeated, over and over. I sure wish Under Armour would…

Avoiding Catabolism
It was another gorgeous day, here in the beach in beautiful downtown Carlsbad, California, and a perfect day for a Rest Day workout; a short 3.71 mile beach HIIT Hike that included five sets of Wallies on the rocks, a bit of rock climbing, a couple sets of Butters and Weight Bar Twists.

Two Weeks post Heart Attack, Still Ticking
Two weeks ago, I had heart attack number 5, and am now on the Heart Transplant list as this attack was the final insult to my Left Ventricle. SO, I have to get accustomed to less aggressive training.
