Restart!

Ok, so the weekend didn't go too well. A few beers, lots of cigarettes, and a jay. Not good, but I did it so I'll stand for it too. I had my brother here, who is not a frequent visitor, and we went out to enjoy ourselves. It was fun, but it will be a long time untill next time. That's for sure.

I didn't write anything on my blog this weekend, and I'm not sure I will in the future either. I will consider it.

Back to training again today. Bike, run, and weights. Streching aswell. I have not received my subscriptions yet, but I have a program from the internet. I will start using a program after I have my fitnesstest on wednesday. The only progress wso far is a reduction in weight by around 2 kilos, or 4 lb, and no more pain in my muscles. I also think my knee and achilles is slightly better.

See you later.

Downer!

It looks like I'll never learn. I got picked up by a couple of old friends today and we went for a drive. We drove from my house to one of my friends house, he stopped outside, and went in to pick up something. As me and my other friend waited, sure enough, here comes the police. Nothing new there, and the old questions about my criminal record turned up. I guess the officer understood I had nothing to hide once my story was in the open. I suppose he had a quick check on the radio, to confirm the information, and proceeded to let us leave the area. Two of us on foot, because there was something wrong with the papers from the car.

So this should maybe not be considered a problem. The problem is I loved it. Just like back in the days. EXCITING! Really, it made me sit and think all day. Is that the problem? I love action too much? Hey, I don't know, but it sure is something I must take into consideration.

No training today, and full speed ahead tomorrow, instead.

I have to sleep on it , and tonight I'll dream in colors, and weak up in a sweat.

Good night.

More pain!

So I went to swim today and I was told my legs were too low in the water. So if you want to be a good swimmer you need to be straight in the water. Water to the middle of your head, butt high, and legs too. I practised, just floating, face down, body straight, for about half an hour. I was glad there was not much swimming today because I can hardly move my arms. I'm just so sore from exercising. Soon it will get better, I know, but it feels nice to complain a little too. You know, feel a little sorry for myself.

Today I smoked a cigarette. Not good! All it did was make me dizzy. The problem is why it happened. A friend from  back in the days called me and wanted to meet. So I went to meet him. He was visiting somebody and invited me to come by. I ended up in an apartment with a very nice lady, whom I think makes a living from making men happy. There  were drugs there, and although I didn't feel that tempted, I had a cigarette just because I hoped it would help in some way. I didn't take no drugs, so I guess I should be happy. I MUST LEARN NOT TO END UP IN PLACES LIKE THAT!

Well, I'm tired. It's been a long day again and I have some serious thinking to do.

Good night.

PAIN!

My chest, legs and arms are in pain, but can not compare to the pain I felt when I got on a stationary bike today. But 40 minutes on bike, 10 min running, a few squats, a little streching, a set of crunches ( 12 was all I could do!). I'm hanging in there. I know the pain will go away, or get less soon. I certainly hope so.

I joined a swimmingclass today, and first session is tomorrow. One step closer to "Norseman Extreme" and it makes me happy. I also signed up for a fitnesstest on the 1. march. I'm not looking foreward to seeing the results, but it's got to be done.

I also went to the Red Cross today, where I've joined up for  some voluntary work. I learnt about poison. Yes, that included poioning by drugs, too.

No drugs, feeling ok, and my first class at university went well.

Only problem is I need to make drug- and crime- free friends, and I don't know how.

See you!

First day of training

I'm so tiered. Started the day talking to my therapist for two hours. Mostly about finding new people to spend my time with. Not having any contact with my criminal friends, my drug abusing friends and others that can hurt my progress is essential. I agree, but it is not easy, that's for sure. Loneliness is not something I enjoy, and I have no new friends yet. Time is key. I'm hanging in there.

I had my first workout today. 35 minutes on a stationary bike, ten minutes on a treadmill, and 45 minutes weight trainig. I'm a little proud of myself, but oh so tiered.

I'm going to bed early. Early start tomorrow, my first class this year. Criminology is interesting, specially when you have lived a life on the bad side of society.

See you!

There is a first time for everything!

I am not quite sure how this works, but I must be doing something right.
I know nothing about computers, but Google helped me to creata a blog.
Tomorrow is my first workout day. I am overweight, 102 kilos (210 lbs.), have a low levell of fitness and alot of work to do.
I will start slow and build up. Tomorrow I will join a gym for strength training and fitness on a treadmill or bike. I probarbly should loose some weight before I start running too hard. I need to find a swimming course. I want to avoid drowning in my first triathlon. I need to study techniques and learn alot about training. So far I have suscribed to the "220 Triathlon" magazine.
I am scared! I hope I did not take on too much. We will see!

Besides the training I am doing a course at university. I am going to need a job. For the time beeing I receive money for food and rent from the government. It will have to do. No more crime for me! No more prisontime for me!

I'll be back tomorrow!
