So I am back in Australia again. Various reasons as to why I’m back, which I won’t bother going into. London was great and I had lots of fun traveling Europe.
I would be very happy to head back to London soon, however I am also loving the luxury lifestyle that Australia affords.
For now, I will sit tight and save my pennies and we’ll see what happens from here.

I am going to try and update more regularly. I have been flat out off my feet with work, doing multiple contracts.

My gym routine is in a shocking state of affairs, however I will be returning to it this coming week. I am looking forward to some boring old chicken fillets on the George Foreman Grill and lots of weights!

I have removed the videos of the san jose trip as they were linked to a different youtube account that I no longer have.
I may upload them again sometime soon.

Decided to incorporate more cardio into my training.. the old heart is struggling with the added muscle I’ve put on of late (and some fat). So it is time to burn off the fat.

I’ve set myself a goal for dropping 10kg over the next 20 weeks.

I’m snapping each Sunday so you will be able to see the progress.

Hopefully not too much muscle loss will occur.

Picture of me… taken this week being a dick.

Finally figured out what my shoulder injury is… a labral tear.

I’ve had this for about 6 years now and never bothered getting it checked out, but now it is effecting my lifting.

Looks like I will have to start some therapeutic exercises to try and rehabilitate the injury.

Some good rehab exercises are mentioned on this page http://www.mednets.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/articles_basic_wrist_and_elbow_rehabilitation_shoulderrehab

So course is going well; managed to pass most of the exams from last weekend.

Did a retest on one of the failed exams today so hopefully I’ll pass this time around.

Hell of a day.

My birthday infact, turned 25.

Had to go to my PT course and do 5 exams too - bit of a downer!!

My head is killing me from the information cramming (read: studying).

I really want a break from working.

Could be part of the flu; but I’ve been waking up the last two mornings with a really stiff neck.

It’s effecting me pretty badly, I’ve had a headache all day because of it and my eyes feel really tired.

As a consequence I skipped thismornings session (shoulders / hamstrings); but will do it tomorrow morning.

Might purchase a comfy pillow before I head home though.

Just recovered from flu, slight break in diet as there was no appetite during flu.

Back to gym tomorrow, four day workout til Friday and back to regular diet - thank god!
