December Rolls Along

Work is manageable.

I need to stop being lazy in the gym

I'm still broke.

At least I got my arcade stick getting customized. I admit. I'm still disappointed in not getting the original art I wanted... I'll live.

November comes to an End

Birthday wasn't so bad, I'll ignore the fact that several people forgot. Again. Mainly because I don't really care for it (and because people are self centered.). Gave myself a four day weekend and busted my ass in the gym on Monday. I'm probably going to be sore until at least Thursday, but I'll be doing cardio on Wednesday.

An uncle got sentenced to about 21 months in the slammer with insta-deportation upon that being completed. He was involved in whatever it was by proxy more then anything else. But involvement is involvement. It sucks.

At least work has improved. My mood is better, and stress isn't as severe an issue. Hopefully it stays that way, but I do likely meet with my bosses about what's going on to see how if I'm even to maintain my job there or not. But I'm confident that I'll be sticking around. I'd much rather leave on my terms anyway.

Not the way I like my Novembers

As annoying as my job can be, I'd rather keep it until I get another lined up. We'll see what happens.
Weight loss progress was all lost, but I have noticed a change for the better with my shape.

So my goals are simple:

Short Term:
Don't lose my current job
finish customizing my Fight Stick
Squat 3Plate by year's end.
Leg Press a thousand pounds by year's end


Long Term Goal:
Run the NYC Marathon
Improve my eating habits
Stop sucking at drawing

Random!

Whims indeed.

I had been trying to get an iPad for a prolonged period of time. I initially ordered an HP Touchpad. but my order was cancelled. a friend offered a hookup for an iPad2 which I impulsively jumped at. A month and a half long wait ensued and it was all for nothing, with me recieving my cash back this Monday.

What do?

Go out to Manhattan and purchase a Guitar starter pack for no reason other then because I can.

See y'all at Comic Con NY

At the Garden

I needed a break from the world. so since I had a vacation day for today and plans were changed I took advantage and went to the Brooklyn Botanical garden. Sadly I missed the Lotus that were blooming, but I still had a fun time.

I don't like how Photobucket throws everything in random order when I upload a large amount of pics... but not much I can do about it.

Workout log for the Week of Monday August 8th

So right now I'm at 244 1/2 lbs, I lost a half pound last week, but overall I went up. I was at 239 just a month ago. I don't think I'll make my goal of 200 by year's end. That's too bad, but it's not like I'll quit because of it. That would be stupid.

I've made some progress though.

I'm steady with 2plate squats (Two 45lbs plates on each side of a 45lbs bar) I want to be able to do 5 sets of 10 with no fault of form before increasing poundage even though I know I can do more weight. I also improved on a personal best with my Deadlift, succesfully doing 3plate for six reps this past Sunday. Again, I'm positive I can lift more, but form comes first, it's easy to deadlift incorrectly and seriously hurt your back.

My Shoulders are starting to show some definition on the front delt. my back looks better according to both my bro and sis, chest has gotten smaller and calves are looking better then ever.

Monday:
Rested

Tuesday (work with my trainer):
Today I focused on my shoulders and threw in some Ab work as well. The rest for the day is up to me as far as Diet which is the only thing I really need to fix to be able to progress with weight loss.

Wednesday
Rested, soreness on Shoulders and abs proof of effective workout

Summer Time

It's summer time. What's that mean? Heat.

I always see peeps complain of the heat But there's an easy solution that was pretty much drilled into my head while in Boot Camp: Drink Water.


That's it. It's that easy. Besides keepin' ya awake it basically keeps you cool. Even better if you're trying to lose weight since water has no calories.

The 'End of the World'?

Yeah whatever.

I plan on parodying this by bringing my survival kit with me to work.

Yes. I have a survival kit. I recieved on during white elephant for christmas. Should generate some laughs for tommorow. The world of customer service needs more laughter.

The Intro

The name's Gerardo. But my friends call me Gerry. I work Customer Service. I'm a gamer, bit of a gym rat. I like to draw a bit (I'm terrible though). Stick around, you'll find out how to deal with customer service, and perhaps be entertained.
