Just got back from Bally's Total Fitness in PV. I REALLY need to buy some workout gloves. I have totally blistered palms from all the weight training I did today, but I'm at 219 right now, for an 81 pound weight loss thus far so I'm really proud of myself. I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror in the locker room and for a second totally didn't recognize myself. Plus, it helps that I was just looking at some photos of myself from over the summer and it really is a dramatic change in appearance. I guess the gradual nature of it caught me by surprise because it was gradual.
They were having a stupid themed day at the gym, all the trainers were dressed in tropical look [leis, hawaiian shirts, grass skirts,etc] But it was pretty empty and I got a full workout in [worked my biceps and triceps doing 4 x 4 - 4 sets of exercise per targeted body part with 4 sets of reps per exercise] I did 30 minutes on the elliptical to start off and 20 minute son th bike to finish, so I'm like tired but not, it's kind of one of those brisk walk type deals where you feel good afterword.
I was annoyed that some of the other PT's kept using me to shill the success of Bally's personal training. Like I don't care if Lawrence does it, cuz he is my trainer, but like some of the PT's who have been there a few weeks are pointing me out to prospective people, as well as some of the PT's who totally suck and make people waste their time doing sit-ups on the bosu [sp?] ball for an hour. Whatveer works I guess. I still remember every PT and their mom shilling the fact that Rob Van Dam works out there, of course when I point out that Tajiri is there like 10x more often than Rob, they're like "really? hmm ... never noticed."
Onto other stuff ...
Today I got my ROAD TO WRESTLEMANIA GIFT PACKAGE from KLSX 97.1. Those who follow my blogging adventures on Livejournal may be aware I won this doo-hickey by correctly telling Frosty, Heidi & Frank that Pete Rose got into the WWE Hall of Fame by being attacked for 3 years straight by zombie wrassler' Kane. As a funny aside here, I ran into James at the Comic Cult on Wednesday and he was pissed as hell when he heard I won one for guessing WWE trivia since he's much more of a fan of the WWE product than I could pretend to be. I'll have to go into detail on that at a future time. Anyway, here's what was in this 'oh, so vaunted' package:
- A WRESTLEMANIA XX T-shirt - Size XL
- A WRESTLEMANIA XX 3-D Picture Book
- A copy of "WWE Originals" on CD w/a bonus DVD
- A copy of "The Stone Cold Truth" on DVD
- A clear WWE logo plastic tote bag
Overall, I'd say fairly craptastic. WWE Originals will swiftly find it's way to eBay - I may watch The SCSA DVD, but somehow I think I'll sell that too. The 3D Picture book is total garbage. The shirt is nice, I'll keep that, because, the logo is decent, it's goodquality and it fits nicely. Nice post gym wear I'd say.
Overall, the NWA-TNA Raven logo t-shirt Raven sent me is much much nicer though.
But yeah, I would've preferred like WWE Anthology or Mick Foley's Greatest Hits and Misses or something, the gift package was just lame IMO.
Oh and my McFarlane exclusive Biker Chicks have shipped. Hopefully, I'll get those tomorrow or Saturday
