I swear - this town is going to turn me into that dirty mistress who sleeps with everyone’s boyfriend. LOL! Ok ok maybe not that bad… but still!  Orgy parties and bathhouses… geez!  LOL. Anyway… things are going pretty well here in LV (that’s how us locals abbreviate Las Vegas :-P). Besides almost having a meltdown at the amount of work I’ve been doing which is 4x the amount of the national average for my position, work is going pretty well. I’ve been finding myself sleeping a lot lately though - which I know is bad. I’ve been doing great at the gym! Handsome Rob has been helping me and it’s great because he’s almost always available to go when I want to. I feel like I’m getting better at everything and my arms are blowin’ up!! My form is improving too - he showed me a few things I was doing wrong which, in correcting, have made my workout more effective.  Plus it’s great to have someone to talk about the hot boys at the gym with.  :-P

I noticed too that I haven’t written about my birthday!  What a great weekend that was!  Went out to Krave and danced my ass off… had to avoid some people but that’s ok.  It was still one of the best birthday’s I’ve had in a long time.  :)   Mom sent me a Target gift card which was great and she also sent me a little recipe box with all the recipes for the foods she made me that I liked.  How frickin’ sweet is that?  Plus - and here’s what made this the best birthday ever - I get an e-mail on my birthday (after my mom called at 5:12 am - cuz I was born at 8:12 am and my mom is still on the east cost and conveniently “forgot” about the time difference - but I digress).  My mom had called a local bakery: Nothing Bundt Cakes - which - if you’re from here, you know that they are the best ever! She ordered a cake for me to pick up on my birthday and let me tell you what - it was the best tasting cake ever!  Well… besides the ones mom makes of course.  ;-)

About two weeks ago I finally did it. I joined a gym. And for only $19 a month! How crazy is that?! Back east gyms were easily $50-$80 a month. I was paying $56 for Bally’s (years ago when I did go and try to do something which ended up being nothing lol) and I have friends who pay upwards of $80 for Resluts Results or Vida. Not only do I pay 4x less than them, but my gym is so pretty. And by pretty, I mean the Chippendale’s work out there. Can you get much better than that?! I think not. :)

Dustin has helped, as well as Paul and Christian, with showing me how to work each muscle group. I’m quite grateful that they’ve taken the time to show me how to workout properly and not let me just haphazardly “wing it”. I’ve got my muscle groups lined up: Day 1 - Chest and Biceps / Day 2 - Back and Triceps / Day 3 - Shoulders and Traps / Day 4 - Legs / Day 5 - Cardio/Abs (which is done everyday anyway, but this would be the intense focus on Day 5). After the first day, I was feeling sore - but my excitement that my arms and chest were already bigger (though bigger because of blood rushing to the muscles to repair them) totally helped me ignore the pain. Who knew working out was so addicting! This morning I woke up at 5am so that I could go before work and frankly, I think that’s the way to go. I felt a million times more productive and alert at work today. I did take about an hour nap when I got home this evening, but I still think that morning workouts might be better for me. I’m definitely going to try and do it again tomorrow morning.

Now, you may be thinking, “Christopher is a small guy… he’s average height - but when he turns to the side, he disappears! How on earth is he going to do anything but stay super skinny?” Well my friends, it’s quite simple. My target weight goal is 150 lbs. Yes. You read correctly, 150lbs. What do I weigh currently? 127 lbs. Stop laughing. I can do it. And I will do it… with the help of suppliments/weight gainer of course. HA! All I have to do is stay focused. :)
