DAY 28

DAY 28 - Saturday; 

Saturday, Saturday! 

Kind of reminds me of Elton John's song: "Saturday Night's Alright (for Fighting)", although it's Saturday morning really.  But same premise.  Saturday morning's Conditioning Class at Nick's Pro Fitness is something of an event in Evergreen.  It brings out the most people, for one!  There were probably close to 45 people in class this past Saturday.  And it brings out almost everyone who is a member of Nick's.  Kids, Parents, Grandparents, new members, etc.  Everyone who is anyone is at Nick's for an early morning Saturday workout.  And, as such, it has steadily become one of the most difficult days of the week with regards to the intensity of the workout.  Nick really gives people their money's worth on Saturday.

For those of us who had to miss Friday's Conditioning Class do get special treatment on Saturdays!  Half way through the normal workout, Nick will call out those of us who missed the previous class and send us to the other side of the gym for a "special" workout of our own.  Those of us lucky enough to get the "special" workout are usually in for a treat of high-intensity exercises.  In today's case, we were not disappointed.  It was as tough as it was exhausting.  Nick wouldn't have it any other way.

Here is some good news, though.  I was sent to the dreaded scale (that small, unassuming torture device) for another weigh-in.  Down 3 more pounds from Thursday!  You know what that means!! ... no mountain climbers!  Cha-ching. I am now down to 195lbs from my start of 209lbs just five weeks ago.  14 pounds.  No washboard stomach yet, but I can feel them below the ... uh ... protective layer of thick skin covering my rock hard abs of steel!  No, Calvin Klein isn't calling me just yet to appear in their boxer brief ads, but I'm sure they will come calling soon.  Give me 2 more weeks with Nick, and I'll be the next cast member on "The Jersey Shore" - minus the tan, jersey accent, and spikey stiff hair!
