11/3/09 After not lifting since July of 2008 when we moved to Hawai'i, I'm really motivated to start again, going to go to BJ Penn's gym in Hilo. I have not been this poor (financially, my partner has yet to find work and I can only cover so much) and this isolated in my life and yet I'm focused on this goal. I weighed myself last week and I was 152 lbs, I had not been that weight since we moved here. That was what motivated me, lack of cash is great for losing weight...lol 9/3/09 My dog for the past 7 years named JJ died suddenly this a.m. due to Naproxen toxicity, it causes kidney failure and is pretty much a death sentence for dogs. I had been giving my dog 81mg baby aspirin x3 for his arthritis and back pain relief with good results and with some positive research on the net that it was the safer of the 'people' drugs to give. My domestic partner had been giving my dog naproxen during the last week and told me about it a few days ago. I should have looked it up for myself, but I trusted he knew it was OK. My dog suffered so bad it is hard to put in words, his last 4 hours of life were twisting in agony and crying, this is a dog who barely barked and never whined. It was like watching an execution you could not stop. It causes the kidneys to fail and then progressive systemic organ failure. He lost the use of his back legs, because Naproxen kills nerves and the kidney and liver are on the same nerve systm/bundle as the the hind legs from what I'm told. he finally died around 1:30 a.m. and I had stepped out of the room for 15 minutes or so beforehand, so he died alone. I will never be able to forgive myself for not being there for him and trusting someone instead of double-checking the info. 7/27/09 Moving to a new house, busline runs right in front of it, so no excuses now! Look for some improvement in the coming months. Been 1 year since I've lifted. I walked to ocean (4 mi.) for about 5 months in a row at least 5x week than I got lazy. Excited to be going back to free weights and maybe making some friends and workout partners. It gets lonely in the rainforest...lol --------------------------- 7/29/08 In Hawaii now, dogs and us 2 got here safely. Thanks for all the support you guys give. ---------------------------- I was 210lbs when I graduated from HS and wanted to start everything new. I went all way down to 139# by 08/82 and then had Appendicitis and went down to 129lbs. Held my weight around 140-150lbs for the next 15 years or so, ran and lifted weights when I lived in Hawaii and California and then woke up one Easter morning and quit running and lifting. Moved to Boston and started running and lifting weights @ L Street Gym and YMCA Main on Huntington. I moved to Denver in 2004 and let myself go and now I'm 44 y/o and want to start lifting and running again. My goal after getting back in reasonable shape is to try powerlifting, big legs, arms and chest, small waist. I have an 145 IQ and would like to be known for lifting heavy things and not being the one people ask for the answer. (lol)

I never did good in team sports, so it is an individual accomplishment and it is also good for health and peace of mind. Great for sex and great for self-esteem.

Getting serious about lifting weights, and want to be a healthy Bear. *Being 400lbs and 3 hairs on your body does not make you a bear, you're just fat. I am fighting the hijacking of the Bear community by the Big & Beautiful gay community. The whole idea of the Bear community was created by men who did not identify with the drag queens, gym bunnies and chubby chasers. Fat guys have their own community, leave ours alone and stop blurring the lines. Being a Bear is not running for Imperial Court, or Mr Leather, that's another group. I know I will get grief, but I'm a 44 y/o man, I don't need validation from people too afraid to stand on their own. I really want to get into powerlifting & if someone wants to work with me on achieving that I'd appreciate it (University Hills 24 Hour Fitness or I can go to another club if needed). -To all the twittering gay shaved-rats who hog the benches @ the gym, get your figure-skating ass away from me so I can finish my sets. Music- I like Jamiroquai, Chet Baker singing (the documentary "Let's Get Lost" changed my life) DJ's from around the world. -I got a hardon right now for the DJs in Madrid; Binomio, Raul Castellano, Oso Project, anything from MAD.BEAR. Great mixes and take you out of the reconstituted Pablum we end up hearing in the bars. I am not anything like the stereotypical gay male, I'm hairy, drink beer and like seeing guys beat the hell out of each other. I'll never start shaving my body, drinking Cosmos and giving fashion tips, I'll leave that to the minority that give the majority of us a bad rep. You are not born a religion, but you are born loving who you love.

None really, just personal satisfaction of having my arms muscular and wearing jeans where the waist was loose and stayed up w/o a belt because my legs were so muscular.

1st time is a mistake, 2nd time you got a problem. PTBP "Get your figureskating ass away from me and let me finish my sets"
