Ya know... I thought I was in fairly decent shape. Before this whole training regiment started, I weighed about 190lbs. For a guy that's 6'2", that's not overweight at all. But this program I'm on is making me start to wonder how bad I really was when I started. By the time I'm done I'll have lost 10lbs. and about 8% body fat. These guys...

I AM TIRED!!! I got in from Topeka late last night and I'm beat. I had to go and meet with a client Monday. I'm glad I'm home though.
More training tonight. I get to take ground balls and hit for about 5 hours after work. Then it's cardio time for another hour or so. I have some pics of my progress in the gym...

Hey! We missed you!
You did realize lunch was today didn't you? No worries though because we'll all be getting together for a Wednesday lunch again sometime.
It was nice to have some faces to put with names and we had a good lunch. Let me know if you want to meet up on Friday... there is an event at the Horse Brass on Belmont that I'm going to stop by.

I went for a testdrive last night. Holy moly is that A4 incredible. I never really paid attention to Audi until about 4 months ago. Pretty nice car. I get to go haggle with a salesperson tomorrow morning at the autoshow. that should be fun.
I get to go back to "basic training" tomorrow afternoon. I'm wondering though what drills for infield I'll be doing....

Nope, I've been cursed rooting for the wrong team in this town. The Mets are my Jehovah, and man is it hard to live each year without hope after say, May 15th. The news around this town would like us to believe that somehow this year might be different, but even when the Mets win, they have always been a team of If's. Hey, my Redsox fan, what if Buckner fields that ball? I say Mookie beats it, but that we'll never know. My point is, they do all this crazy crap (if I may say) and what's to show? Sportswriters, I ask, what if Pedro has no more in the tank? What if Beltran is a Burnitz? What if Piazza still can't hit? or worse, be traded? What if Reyes can't keep a healthy leg? What if Matsui is less than "little Matsui"? I know every team must eventually conquer all of their if's but the Mets, they are not a "doomed" team, just a terrible organization. I love 'em and always will, win or lose.

Can you do lunch Wednesday?
I am a woman of leisure at the moment so I'll be there for several hours so if you want to stop by it would be great!
Oh... and I hope my journal post didn't scare you. I know I'm a weirdo.

I have training tonight. I don't know whether to be scared or excited. I didn't think that I was this outta shape. I've got a lot of work ahead of me.
I've also changed my mind on cars. I have absolutely fallen in ove with the new Audi A4. It is one of the most fun cars I have ever driven. I'm going to the...

eeeee!
the smell of the leather interior in your auto of choice... i have only ever been in a car like that once, but i swear, as soon as i sat down, and the stereo was bumpin' and the ride was so smooth, i looked over at the driver and first thought "wow, i never noticed you're pretty cute," immediately followed by "i bet that dude gets all the chicks with this car!"
ah, the senses.
i shall absolutely have to call you pimpdaddy.
niiiiiice muscles+sexy brain+big prospects+hot car... yeah. that would be the pimpdaddy.

What up kids. I hope you're all doing well. 
I went test driving for new cars last night. I'm way overdue for one. I'm kinda torn between a Landrover Discovery and a Yukon Denali. I also liked the new Acura TL. So many choices. What to do... Hopefully the autoshow this weekend will help me figure it out. I was pretty shocked at how nice...

Okay... got my jammies on and tucked the kiddos into their beds. It was nice meeting you in person! Can't wait for the car show... I'm going to have some serious car envy when you get your new Audi.
We'll have to get all dolled up and hit the town to celebrate it!

Holy Moly am I sore today!!! 
I was in the gym for 5 hours on Saturday. Then yesterday, I was in the cage trying to get my batspeed and timing back for a few hours. Fortunately my trainer and coach are like drill sergeants. That way I stay motivated. It's going to take a few weeks to get most of the kinks worked out.

I am stoked that I actually for the first time in it seems like ages that I don't have anything to do this weekend. No work, no family dinners, nothing. I do start my training sessions later today with my trainer which I'm actually excited about. It'll feel good to be in playing shape again. It's been a long time....

WHAT'S NEW???
We really need to have a drink so you can tell me about how they're kicking your ass in training. I'm on my own personal training agenda so that I can be a skinny mini again.
Oh... and I'm a bit jealous you've been talking to Sophie so much. I looooooove her!

Hey everyone. I hope you all are well. I figure I should update.

I am going to officially be in training for my baseball career starting this Saturday. I've hired a personal trainer and coach to get me back in the swing of things (pardon the pun). I have my dad to thank for shelling out the bucks to get me a trainer and coach. I'm in good shape but my skills are a little bit rusty. I'll...

awww. skier900, you're too good to me.
now that i'm here i notice two things.
one: i look like your stalker. maybe i can get 2 pages worth of comments posted to this one journal entry of yours. i just can't get enough.
two: i feel funny calling you skier900. isn't there another name you would prefer? pimpdaddy perhaps? mr. sexy big brain? swing batta batta?
oh wait, and i have thought of a third. actually i realized this yesterday afternoon: i love it when you call me shorty. i think that's one of the greatest terms of endearment. it makes me feel totally hot for some reason. the only other pet name that has come close to this was one from a boyfriend two years ago. he called me lil' fox. ha. i think i don't usually get pet names like shorty because 5'7" is actually not short. people say i'm rather tall for a girl.
ok. how is your day going? do you work a regular 9 to 5? are you anticipating the weekend as eagerly as i am?

I am better now... but have some new job options that are presently more desirable than the other one.
Working late until after 7:00 pm frequently and on weekends occasionally w/o any overtime is not my cup of tea afterall. But there are a couple of new options that have sprouted.
I'll keep you posted. Are you busy this afternoon? Can you get off a bit early?
