| June is EscapingJuly is coming already? The 4th of July is next week? Wow, what happened?
Can't complain, it's been a nice Summer. I can't even begin to compare this Summer to last. We traveled almost every weekend all over PA.
Not much happening this week. Rachel got her hair done last night by our neighbor. She did a good job.
Later.

| Endorphin AddictionI really think I am addicted to Endorphins. This weekend was the first time in at least 40-60 days that I did not exercise every other day. I stayed inside Saturday and played Halo. Sunday I didn't move much either, opting for a little pool time. Come Sunday and Monday, I felt depressed almost. I didn't want to move or so anything.
Then I started playing Tennis. And then we I got home, I played some more Tennis. Sunday evening I rode a bike. Almost instantly, with the exercise I felt better. Maybe I'm hooked on them, who knows.
Also, I got on the Wii Fit last night, and I lost 4.2 lbs since my last weigh-in, last Thursday. Wow, 197.

| TennisI've been trying to play at least one game of Tennis per week lately. Sometimes I get to play 2, maybe 3. I work with Ben J., he's a designer at our office. He's a good player already, beating me just about every time we play. I may have beaten him once, but I'm not sure. It was tied 6-6. Today we played two sets, 6-2, and 6-2. He won both. All 4 of my wins came within a 5 game strech in the middle. So he won 5, I won 2, he won 1, I won 2, then he won 6. We played our second game on the clay courts of Frick Park. These are the only free clay tennis courts in Pittsburgh. If you want to use one anywhere else, you gotta belong to a Tennis/Country Club. There are 6 courts. 
I would love to be better at Tennis, but I don't have the training or practice. I've never had any teaching besides mimicking what I see on TV/Internet. | | |

| Exercise WorksI've never been a huge exerciser. Every Spring I get the bug when I see the weight I've gained over the Winter sloth period, and then I run for a week or two. This year I did the same, but then I did not quit. I stopped the running, but I kept up with the 30 minutes of basic exercise, every other day.
Here is my current routine:
- 45 second half moon.
- 30 Jackknifes
- 45 second each side Spinal Twist
- 45 Second Bridge
- 6 Torso Twists
- 6 Side Torse Twists
- 6 Pushup/Side Planks
- 13 minutes of aerobic boxing
- 20-30 Jacknifes
- 10-15 Pushups
And in that, there may be other additions, but as of the last 2-3 weeks, this is what my routine has been. Before that, I did at least 30 minutes, but this it one that sticks pretty good.
But the changes I've noticed. I can just feel the muscle in my body. I've always had a larger frame, but not with muscles. I can feel them when I bend over, side to side, stretch. My abs are 2-3 times as good. But I also think I developed what they call a "muscle stomach". I haven't exercise my lower abs as well, so I need to start focusing on them to pull my stomach back in.
My arms are also suddenly larger. Not the 2 - 3 times stronger like my abs, but 10-20%, enough that Rachel notices big time. So I'll keep doing these exercises, and hopefully I can fix my abs a bit better. But the coolest part? It works! You just have to keep at it, and make a schedule.
