201¾ lb., 25.1% fat

I said there would be no offseason for softball. I lost too many steps and had gotten a bit porky. I was sucking wind too quickly.

Okay, I may not have said it in those words, but I did allude to it here.

FBC-K softball practice starts tomorrow, and I'm going to miss it for a wedding. Worse things have happened, though.

I kind of like where I am right now, as some weight training has added a little zip to my starts at the plate (I did some test running last weekend at the field where we play.), and I've done 25 20-lb. dumbbell curls 6 days a week (each arm; that's a lot of weight for someone who got such a late start in bulking up). I'd want that body fat number to be under 24%, not above 25%. But hey, I can't have everything now.

I've been thinking about a BowFlex, but I neither have the money nor the space in the apartment right now.

Anyway, back to softball. By my count, we have 9 players, which is bad, because that means no rover and no bench. That may be solved in short order, or it might be the second week of the season before that gets rectified. We're just here to play, and play well. Winning is secondary to a Christ-like attitude, unlike a couple of players on other teams.

Oh, and I'm officially retracting my offer to drive and pick up your MOCs for BrickFest. No one has taken up the offer, and I need the time from here on out.

You can still send me your MOCs for BrickFest, however. PM me for details.

(That includes you, ChocolateFrogs. )

-KIE, more or less signing off until Monday
