Walking in the Light

Just dropping in an update. Life is good, everything is going well. Here are some highlights:

Though the scale infuriatingly refuses to acknowledge any loss of actual weight, I am fitting into clothes I haven’t fit in since Freshman year of college, which feels good. The workout plan I’m on is Nate Green’s Built for Show, and I highly recommend it for guys. It’s not the gimmicky, “6 weeks to being Adonis!” crap that most workout books advertise (*cough* Mackie Shilstone *cough*). Instead, it’s a legit, year-long workout plan. I suspect that the beauty is not so much in the workouts themselves as getting you to the gym 3 days a week for a year. In any case, his workouts are fast, hard, and effective. Furthermore, I just switched to phase 2 and did the first phase 2 workout last night and today I’m so sore I feel like I just had rough sex with a wild stallion. In this scenario, I was the woman.

Work has been work. Come in, handle some claims, make some phone calls, strike some deals, then spend the day reading Fall of Giants on my Kindle, waiting for those golden LSAT scores to come in. Speaking of which…

My current book is Fall of Giants by Ken Follett. Some of you may recognize him as the author of one of my all-time favorite books, The Pillars of the Earth. The man is a master of storytelling and character development. I’m not quite halfway through the book and I am totally enchanted by the characters and their lives. As a boon, the novel is historical fiction set during WWI, and it’s been fascinating to learn more about the real-life circumstances surrounding “the other world war”.

Anyway, this blog is the result of an utter lack of topic ideas. Hopefully my muse will return soon and I’ll be able to pump out something interesting. Until then, stay strong guys.
