Not Feeling Well Today and Lakers Lose Series

Well I didn’t feel well this morning maybe it was the late night swim. My ears were plugged and my voice was going and since I’m on the phone all day with customers that’s not good so took the day off. Did do an early morning meeting but my voice really was gone! In the afternoon did some legal stuff since I cannot stand just laying back doing nothing plus seems like even though I pay people I have to do everything myself. Found some good information. People do not be sheep and believe things that don’t make sense that’s why we are supposed to go with facts, let’s be honest most people who believe they have great intuition …. do they really or are they just hitting 50% or less…be honest that’s why we have rules that need to be followed and should go with facts that stand logic.
Speaking of sense The Lakers lost the championship…they finally ran out of healthy bodies. I don’t want to hear about the Pistons being a great defensive team without the rules to allow zone defense and double teaming unguarded players you cannot compare their defense to defenses beyond 3 years ago!! Teams before the current zone defenses played true one on one defense the Pistons play “position defense” read “ZONE”!! The Bulls of the ’90’s had they been allowed to play zone defense with MJ!…Nuff Said!
The Pistons are the champs and deserve this but their defense is not the greatest ever just the best since they instituted zone defense a few years ago.

Muggy Monday

Today was hot & muggy. Busy work day then went to dinner with family because of nieces b’day. Was cool and relaxing to get out of the house and no real pressure. I’m thinking about hitting the pool right now!! Turn on the pool lights that change colors and take a quick dip … hmmmmm…… where are my trunks.

Summer Weather I Love

Did a nice slow workout in the heat of the garage today hitting the iron and bike with plenty of Gatorade by my side. The workout felt really good actually. Then did lawn and a bit of pool maintenance. I didn’t do too much pool maintenances since I wanted to climb in will clean the filter in the next few days.
The Lakers look lost all except Shaq, he played great but received no offensive help though the Lakers did play good defense until the fourth quarter. Don’t know what else to say but they look lost.

Workouts & Lakers?Pistons Series

Lakers are getting out hustled plus the Pistons in most positions are more athletic. Phil Jackson stayed with a crippled Malone too long and that made Shaq cover for him and put Shaq in foul trouble. One game playing crippled may work but not when another team goes after you all game! A healthy Medevenko was right there.
I still believe the Lakers will bring it back to LA and get another championship!!
Workouts are going cool today was cardio. Did the bike and push-ups and stomach crunches. Yesterday I was sooo tired I forgot that you need more rest in the beginning of starting the type of harsh workouts I do. Tonight I will go to bed early. Early bed for me is before midnight.

Workouts on hit!!

My garage is at the point where I can now go from one weight/workout station and hit the weights to the next in a steady flow to hit a whole body work out plus cardio on stationary bike or Nordi-Trak contraption.
On days like tomorrow where I don’t hit the weights I will need to hit some extended cardio (at least 5 plus miles running on the streets or hit bike then Nordi-Trak) crunches and push-ups then the next day weights & cardio again…… Why do I let myself get out of shape…… Will be corrected in quick order though!!
BRING THE PAIN!! Time to hit the workout baby!!
Still need to move more things out of the house and garage. I have moved literally truck loads out of the house!
Didn’t do too much technical except at work.

Typical Day

Legal #@%* in the morning.
Worked during the day since I did WAH (work at home). Was able to go straight to the living room after work hours and get the beginning of the Lakers Pistons game.
The game was exciting ….too exciting wanted the Lakers to run away with the game but that did not happen. Kobe sent the game to overtime with another terrific clutch 3 pointer.
Game had me going so much during commercials and half-time had to find something to do so I played a few games of darts, 301 first and then cricket.
Shaq & Kobe showed why they have 3 championship rings when the game looked lost they scored the rest of the Laker points. Incredible focus and fortitude.
Luke Walton came in and helped open up the flow with his great passes and defense even though supposedly he was over matched physically. I think Shaq loves Luke because he knows how to feed Shaq the ball in scoring position. Actually he set up Kobe really nice a few times too…
Malone played great defense even though he could barely move. Fisher was a bulldog as usual.
Detroit played really smart and almost pulled this off. The Lakers need to stop fouling Billups!! That guy doesn’t miss free throws.
GP has been a bit off but we have to remember he was the only Laker to play every game and the Lakers would not be here without him!! Plus in the previous series after the second game he’s been money!
The Lakers need to stay focused on every possession and play smart like they know how to win the series…. I could go on about the game but will leave that to the sportswriters.

Monday :) :(

Just another Monday had a little stomach ache that plagued me off an on this weekend. Been skipping too many meals probably. I think its time to up my work-out tempo. I never really stop totally working out just the frequency is less sometimes depending on what I have going on.
Gonna start my heavy duty burn work outs. A lot of people think they get out of shape because of age but more likely because of the accumulation of not doing exercise or eating right over long periods. Hey, thats the only reasons I get out of shape, even with injury there are things you can do.
I have my excuses too ;)…they just aren’t legit reasons not to work out…time to hit the work-outs hard this week!!

Just have to say one thing getting my work-out in today relax a bit and then kick back and watch Kobe & Shaq go for championship ring number four.
GO LAKERS!!!!
