[ 251 ] Okay, so today was a recovery day for me and I have no aches or pains to report. My bod seems to be hanging in there and I did have a good sleep last night, as in a solid sleep of 7 hours or so. Reporting a relatively clean sheet of health niggles related to my exercising yesterday is a bonus for me, although I did not stress out too much on my stomach muscles while doing any of the exercises. That area will have to be worked on slowly and with a large degree of management while trying to build up the muscles again slowly. I have been eating well and drinking heaps of fluids and from my last check with my weight, being 86 kilos is the idea weight that I want to retain while continuing to do my exercises and workouts. My current excess weight around my waist is annoying but in time, I am sure I will get on top of that situation. I know that having my stomach issue was the reason for putting all that weight on around my waist, but I am so glad that my waist has reduced down in size compared to what it was getting in late January. It was a bloody balloon and using my two magnetic belts, it was definitely a contributing factor with reducing my bloated waist, along with my diet and minor exercising while laying in bed a lot. I am a firm believer that if you tackle a problem head on, virtually when it occurs, getting on top of that situation then provides for a better result sooner rather than later. Hanging onto a bad arse situation for a period of time before tackling that situation gives me a bitter taste in my mouth regarding letting it drag on for to long, so to speak. I am fully aware of the need to mend a problem almost immediately due to my so called apprenticeship I had with my dad repairing anything that needed doing that night he came home from work with the truck. If it was not done that night regardless of the time and weather, the truck would never have gone to work the next day. And that truck hardly never missed a day of work. So speaking about working on something and nipping it in the but in fixing whatever needs doing almost when it occurs, now that I have started on my road of recovery and feeling well regarding my stomach issue, trying to nip it in the but with getting together with my hot babe for a coffee is feeling like I need to do it rather sooner than later. I have no grand plans of trying to romance her as I believe that two people need to check out each other to see if you are suited with one another. And that may even take a dozen nights having coffee to see whether there is a connection or not. As I have said plenty of times, I never count my chickens before they hatch, but I would sure love to go out with this chick for heaps of coffee in the next few decades to come. Getting to know her will be my priority and obviously she will do the same if we go out and have a coffee and chat. No fluff from me as I have a million and one questions to ask and it may take a heap of time to get through all of them. So a dozen nights out chatting does not seem too unreasonable and obviously it will all depend on her if we continue meeting for coffee. After a few nights of chatting, she may even think I am not appropriate for her, thus moving on for me and the same for her. Now, with regarding my expectations towards her, I have no expectations about what she will do as it will be up to her if she may want to meet me for more chats and a coffee. For me, it will be a no brainer as I would love to go right through to the 12 meetings for a chat and coffee, and then whatever happens after-woods, happens. Tomorrow will be another day of exercising and working out. So far my plans this week have been pretty spot on. A good combination or rest and workouts/ exercises while eating a diet that I felt was suited to my needs while doing my body rebuild has been the ticket for me. Man, my faith with God has given me the strength to push through the hard times I had recently and coupled that with my meditating and exercising and various diets, I am over the moon with what I have achieved with my recent stomach issue. But I have got to add, that wanting so badly to go out with my hot babe was another key factor for me getting over my stomach complaint. Yesterday I did a few more push-ups than the same time almost 4 months ago and that was a great psychological boost that I needed considering what happened to me recently. So I may be back to were I was in late November time but being the type of individual I am, I am going to continually push myself for even a better result regarding my stomach and waist and my fitness. The thing that I have been strong in doing, over the last 16 odd years, is remaining positive and strong in my mind to get myself through the many health issues I had, as well as all the other shit things that happened to me. This is just another issue that I have almost nipped it in the but, and believe it or not, having all those bad arse related health issues, made me work a lot harder in rebuilding the problems over all these years thus keeping my body relatively strong while trying to keep myself healthy at the same time. As I also said once before, during a period of say 5 years or so, I may have spent over 8k on health food products [ protein shakes ] and vitamins and minerals. And possibly without knowing, all of those products may have given my body the boost in the way that it may benefitted me while appearing fairly fit from doing all that research and taking all of those health food products. And there were many times during my round the east coast trips of Australia that I bought many health food products while doing a lot of my exercises and workouts. Now I am not putting tickets on myself but I would like to see a 53 year old pump 1001 push ups in one hour. And I can recall when I was doing those numbers, I had my minds concentration level in overdrive as it was my mental capability that made me push myself to go to 1001 push ups. Now that is my Martial Arts training coming into play as the mind over body matter starts to take over and my mind is willing myself to 1001 p-us. And there have been times even this week, because I am out of practise and not really focused, the other day when I did 236 p-us, I was physically spent and could not do one more p-u. But two days later I did 303. It is mind preparation and focus that plays a large part in doing large numbers. And I also know what I did not do mentally to prep myself for that effort. For me, it is not a problem but a thing for me to improve on, the next time out. Okay, its 9 pm and I have an urge to watch a movie now. So, have a good weekend and dont do anything that I would not do. Im counting on that. Man, I just remembered, I bought two Easter Bunnies the other day to give to someone, and when they were not there, I proceeded to go to the park to work out some and when taking the bunnies out of the car, they were melted and dripping, so I lost my taste in having them and through them out. Not to worry, all good. Have a good weekend. Peace, love and good health to all the good guys. John Novello
