            This has been a very depressing week for me, and when one is in the middle of training for any kind of training regimen it is probably one of the most trying times: recovering from an injury. I am uncertain of the proper medical terminology for it, but I basically tore my right butt muscle and it takes about 4-6 weeks to heal properly. This has given me a whole new vendetta against ever doing a fad diet again.

            I have been focusing on making sure I did not overeat this week as to maintain weight and this week I will be relying on doing light workouts (unfortunately nothing involving my right hip aside from a lot of stretching) and see if it irritates my injury or not and I can continue. I should by my calculations be down to around 225 lbs by now but as my weight listed above shows I am nowhere near that, because for some reason I am prone to retarded injuries. I can injure myself by saving school children from a burning bus or something, no, I pull a muscle in my ass….bloody genetics…

            So to wrap things up for this week, a few words of wisdom I learned from eating out this past week and maintaining eating healthy: never order a salad at Applebees. You have been warned…


“Any workout which does not involve a certain minimum of danger or responsibility does not improve the body – it just wears it out. “
