It's Saturday... I await my date with my boyfriend for 8:30A.M. right here at the Bodilogix. I can't wait to unleash the furry! I can't wait to put him through his paces... As a matter of fact I have dreamt up some even more "paces" to put him through... I am stoked and ready to go! "Bring on Big Dave"...
In bounds Dave like a little kid ...as excited as I am to "kick it up a notch". He's ready to get to work, I can see it in his eyes. No fear... only excitement... Dave is one of us... He is a "gym rat". Correction, we here at Bodilogix like to call ourselves "Logix-Bodies..."( The very clever Miss Tracey Llewellyn came up with that one)
Anyhow, I digress... Our man Dave disappears down the "hall of fellas" only to re-appear moments later (felt like 20 minutes apparently...) wearing his workout gear with an interesting gait that suggested he had perhaps accidentally sat on a pole... Cause that happens.
Stay with me people...
Yup...Our man Dave managed to put his back out changing his shoes. Poor Dave could hardly move let alone entertain the idea of putting in any sort of effort in the gym. Seems a horrific "tug of war" match from Dave's illustrious and colorful past is to blame for a re-occurring back spasm that leaves Dave pretty much a wet noodle for days on end.
As you all know by now injuries can and do occur and most certainly play havoc on the best of plans and of intentions. They are set backs and obstacles to get up, under, over, or around. The team of Dave and Andrea have already experienced a few but this one can be as problematic as any of the bumps encountered thus far if not more so.
My concern as Dave's trainer is that Dave not lose faith in his vision in his quest of "Project Dave". So far he hasn't wavered. He is recovering well and is back on his tootsies... We had our first sighting of Dave since he went down this past Saturday.
Today being Tuesday our man Dave did make an appearance at the Bodilogix. He went for a stroll on a treadmill I dare say for long enough to work up a formidable sweat at a sensible pace considering all things. Okay so I thought I saw a heard of turtles passing on the left but I didn't tell him.
Dave is still on pace to achieve his goal of 100 pounds lost /25 pound lost to date already and even more importantly Dave is coping brilliantly with all of the little issues as they pop-up and challenge his resolve with a great attitude. Dave is fully expecting there may be more of these moments where the body challenges us as we challenge Dave's body. I expect he will recover from this set back quicker than he ever has before any other time his back has pulled this little trick on him. I expect as well over time with appropriate strength training in place the frequency in which this injury "flares up" will become less and less til never heard from again...
I expect I will see him later on today for a Berry Blast Smoothie,and another adventure on a treadmill/ You can't keep this guy out of the gym...

Whewww.... and all is right with the world...
Well that was a real nailbiter people... I'd be lying if I didn't confess these early jumps in the numbers are really exciting. I also know in my mind I really want to see our boy Dave get under that 300 pound mark and say goodbye to it forever !!!!
I suspect with the progress we are making thus far I'd venture to say that goal is three weeks a way and thats all good. We are currently at 311.5lbs.
I have noticed our boy Dave has really begun to make himself right at home here at Bodilogix. Just the other day I had to tell him to put on his pants and get his feet off the coffee table...
(Not true)
Boys... strange creatures...
(true)
Anyhow, I am so pleased today with Dave and dare I say proud of his efforts and progress. Everyday he seems more and more comfortable with these new ideas we are introducing and is embracing the changes required like a glass of cold water on a hot, hot day.
Good on ya...
25 pounds down...
75 more to go....
"Bring it on...."

Nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs...
We are only hours away from "Big Dave's" official weigh-in. The last weigh-in of July and I can only imagine Dave's nerves are as jumpy as my own. Dave has been working ever so diligently on all fronts towards his weight loss goal and I know what a boost he will get if he has reached our next target of an additional 5 pounds off for our goal of 25 pounds lost...
My fingers are crossed for the big guy as I am certain yours are as well...

"Lookin Fly Big Guy..."
Well , As I write this I reflect fondly on a month of highs and Lows with my new boyfriend Dave (Mr. Delicate) Cromlish. I am myself feeling quite inspired by the change in his fitness level, and ease of movement for Dave that I myself have witnessed over these last four weeks.
It never fails to inspire me in my own convictions and life path as to the power of exercise.
Sorry guys, I gotta get "Heavy" on ya.. Gotta get this off my chest....
I have been asked numerous times over the past few weeks,,, "Aren't you worried about his health"... "isn't a man that big a real liability for you Andrea, are you sure you want to put yourself out like that"... "Isn't he a bit of a risky client to take on?" "maybe you shouldn't get involved Andrea..."
Heard them all guys... This makes me sad...
This man needs to get "healthy" point Blank !!!!
Is he going to be able to do this himself... Hasn't so far...
Could he get Medical help... Don't see the "Calvary" coming...
Options...
Yes, I will every time, I REPEAT... as I punch these keys hard... "I will every time do everything I can to teach anyone who is ready to hear the lesson how fantastic your god given biological machine is. It is the one and only one you will be dispensed... You need to know how the dam thing works and how to keep it in as best condition as you can...
This is the very definition of "Self Respect"...
Although our man Dave came to his turning point at 336lbs does that mean he should be left waving in the wind and to his fate because of the fear of Liability... medical or otherwise. Not by this conscience. Not by me. That is negligence.
Others may pay lip service and be done with such a man but I see more than 316lbs at this time. I see an interesting, educated man. I see a family man and a man with a tough job. I see a man with a big heart... I see a man that is more than worthy of our efforts.
June 22/2009
I saw a man heading down a bad road and well on his way. I saw a short road and one of discomfort, pain, disease and unhappiness.
My decision was made for me.
one month later
I see a road of physical recovery and reclamation of health and vitality. I see a man in charge of his own path. I see the very creation of "energy", vigor, and sincere smiles. I see relief, and positivity in this mans eyes where I once saw fear. I will take all slings and arrows for making this new friend.
When the folks I encounter place their fear "of what will happen to this man, won't all this exercise do him in?"I say Honey, in my humble opinion he was "done in" all ready...
Today, one month later Dave is well on his way to his own salvation. He is taking Control and taking good care of "Dave". I salute you Sir. Carry on...
Amen !!!!

Just another day in the "sexy woods"...
Another successful workout program executed with great brilliance by the team of Dave and Andrea this fine morning!
Nothing short of a thing of beauty as Dave "Chop, Chop, Chopped his way through the sexy forest". (That means crank out the junk in your trunk and display it proudly as you perform a rather taxing swing of a weighted cable providing the body with tension through rotation.) The woodchop is a great exercise to bring up core strength and "whittle away ones waist". I dare say we have got some whittling to do people!!!
Yes oh Yes...
Today was a great workout day. dare I say the best one yet!
Dave achieved personal bests on several of the moves we've been working on here at Bodilogix.
The Laundry toss... unbelievable !
The shower tile scrub... really something to see...
and the vacuum "Lunge"....Perfect !
Kidding, we actually got into some glute activation. That's glute activation not glue...There is no glue...
These very exciting yet challenging new glute moves help to further strengthen Dave's ass and give some "ASSistance" to his lower back and Knee structures. Seems we will be waiting a few weeks for the fancy dancy knee stabilizer brace we ordered so we might as well make him one from scratch.... out of his own muscle development.
Dave has added "Step-ups" to his program, Back pull-downs (closegrip), one arm cable rows, woodchop as described above, front shoulder raises, and of course a spirited crab walk to be envied by all, (all the cars driving down Ontario Street anyway...)
Yes indeed it is going well to say the least ... Dave is working hard for his morning Smoothie and what encourages this trainer is that no matter how many swear words Dave may utter or scream...or how many tears big juicy tears big Dave may squirt, Dave is doing great....
Ps. If you see Dave on the street hide your ice cream cone... I mean it... Put it behind your back or something...

Off to the races....
Great news, The Big man Cheated....
What I mean to say is did exactly what i so often tell people not to do... he did weigh-in again far sooner than he was due to weigh in again. I really do normally discourage that practice-(it can be dangerous to the mindset) but low and behold... another four pounds unaccounted for and we are not asking their where abouts. Good riddance we say, we are now down 19 pounds and we are indeed"off to the races".
David is now been through his weight training routine twice "in house" here at Bodilogix and we Incorporated some new moves already. We are "treading" and "tread milling" lightly as we are dealing with the anticipated owww... ouch.... "Hey there..." one would expect when one starts moving around like a butterfly in heat after a rather lengthy dormancy period.
David is "Tin Roof" rusty to be sure and we are really challenging his "Issues with his Tissues" with our "out of the gates" excitement. I must apologize I have been listening to a lot of Hip hop music can you tell....I feel so "Jiggy", That's "Jiggy... Not Jiggly...) Yo word to the mother... Who's mother..not too sure...
I am finding "Big Dave" as my son calls him to be reasonably "in tune" with his body and adjusting well to the changes on the fly we are having to deal with and I am most certain will continue to deal with as the weeks and months fly by or drag on depending on who you are talking to.
Rest assured people as we enter our 4th week together on the Dave and Andrea's excellent adventure...we are off to the races and we are winning this one...for good!

Troubled waters but our ship is sound...
Today was Daves' weigh-in day and ta da.... another 2 and 1/2 pounds gone for a total of 15 pound in 18 days...
Clap for the man People... I said CLAP !!!!! and with feeling!
His morning cardio treadmill work-out was nothing short of inspirational and for our man Dave "perspirational" as he hit the hill interval with the enthusiasm of a ten year old at christmas. He has even begun working some of the moves we are working on together into his own workout days...
We may have an issue looming however... we may have to speak to our man Dave about his 90 minute showers... That's alot of hot water!
Off to a respectable start "young grasshopper".

Great day at Butterball...I mean Buttersfield Park
As a Fitness Trainer I must confess I take great pride in watching my students excel...
I have been working with my "new boyfriend" Mr. Cromlish for a little over two weeks and it is so encouraging. In just that wee blink of time to see progress. Has he lost 100 pounds yet? No. What I am referring to is the difference from the first "stroll" around our route (which by the way between you and I was worrisome). No one should ever be that out of breath on a stroll like that...) to the last few strolls around our route.
The variety of exercises I have been able to throw at him over the last three workouts are blowing my socks off. All of you who are following his progress by way of the trainers blog I will tell you David is getting fitter each and everyday!!!
We are well on our way to a comprehensive basic body strengthen program sure to shape up our man Dave!!!
For those of you that hold interest let me give you a run down of the plan at present, keep in mind every day we train is different. David and I train 3 days a week. David does Cardio work the days in between our dates and takes Sundays off.
First...
We run for our lives from stray dogs in the neighbourhood. We do this for for about an hour... KIDDING...
1. We "enjoy" a brisk walk with a few stops along the way. No people, not to catch our breath, to perform "our moves".
2. David performs a total of 3 sets/ 20 repetions per set of push-ups on telephone poles and Park benches. This is one of our stops.
3. David performs 3 sets of Partial lunges, 20 reps per set, then one leg standing calf raises, and more push-ups, this is another one of our stops.
4. David has now been introduced to the "Sumo Squat" (I swear to god that is what the exercise is called...) I do however insist "No Man Diaper". 2 sets/ 20 reps
5. A walk literally "back" through the park... (we walk backwards with reasonable speed...twice), then today we "crabbed" across the park carefully displaying our posteriors to the public at large driving by. Hey, I gave him the option.. Big Dave said "Bring it on!!!". We did...
6. Finally, Superman Dave performed for the first time today an exercise called "the Plank". For those of you in the know... this is a very difficult "core" move for the general public... for Dave this is serious work... He did it twice !!!!
Our work-out is now roughly 55 minutes in duration and Dave doesn't stop... We keep his heart-rate up for that entire time with the workout listed in this blog. I am sure to "talk test" Dave through-out so as to know if we are working too hard or not hard enough...
As I said... Dave's workout is progressing nicely and I for one am excited to see where our workouts will take us...
Sure to be climbing a tree near you keep your eyes peeled for "Dave and Andrea's Excellent Adventures".

Another day, another set of push-ups...
Another Day, another exciting "Dave and Andrea's excellent adventure". Well right as rain Mr. Delicate and I hit the hills in our usual style... (with a limp)... KIdding, and all kidding aside our friend Dave is doing a great job. However there is "drama".
Due to a tragic "gardening accident" , while out weeding our man Dave has incurred what sounds like a strained ligament in his right knee and could potentially be an issue for us. Any injury can be of great issue when you are on an assertive quest like the one Dave is on and is coming from the physical shape Dave is in right at this moment.
Train with your Brain !!! Caution, safety rule the day...
No worries for this dynamic Duo. I have prescribed the "M.I.C.E" method of recovery. Oh you may have had the "R.I.C.E" drilled in your head, mine is a little different, all good for you to know.
You may recoznize...
Rest
Ice
Compress
Elevate
Trainer Andrea's world...
Move around (use caution)
Ice (I recommend Baby sweetlet peas)...(Keep them "in" the bag people....)
Compress
Elevate
I know Daves Knees are screaming for relief. Sometimes I can hardly hear what Dave is saying because they are screaming so loud... Part of my strategy as Daves' trainer is to return Quad strength and balance along side strengthening up Dave's butt and Hamstrings. this will stabilize those tired overburdened knees and give them support and assistance in there next years of being " Dave's Knees"... add to that reducing the overall "load of Dave" those knees are responsible for and voila... Dave will Garden again. Dave may even Skydive... who knows!
Part of our program today was to begin this process.
He is a trooper and is probably sitting a bag of peas by this time of the day...
Its all good.

Down to business..
What a great day... What a great training day Dave and I had out in the beautiful outdoors. The sun was poking out of a cloud here and a cloud there. A cool breeze blowing across this hard working training super Duo out for a field trip workout. I think Dave was really "feelin" the vibe aswell, he was really full of energy and vigor today while we were focussing on our walking portion of the workout.
Come to think of it... Today was the fastest time and quickest pace we have laid down as of yet. For some reason Dave gets really excited in certain parts of the route I've picked out and gets a pretty good clip going... almost a jog really... Down Hills mostly...
Seriously, Dave is doing great... Attitude is so powerful and Dave has a good one we can all atest...
Today we added some new moves to his growing reportoire and assigned him homework or shall I say Dave asked for some homework...In addition to Dave's telephone push-out and partial stationary lunges we added a standing calf raise/one leg standing calf raises as well as the favourite abdominal move of this teainer... The BellyButton pull-in...
I think for a moment or two Dave suspected I had perhaps planted a papparazi or two on route as we learned some interesting new poses and positions to "wow" and thoroughly entertain the neighbors over on our current favourite route. No my friend, not yet but I do know a squat/split maneuver that is really only 100% effective when polka dot shorts and a pair of sling backs are involved... I swear it's true...

A big thank you to all of our family and friends who came out to Bodilogix over the last two days to support Dave as he stands before camera after camera after camera to tell his story and make his intentions clear.
Thank you... Your support will make the difference.
Well Dave,
June 22/2010 ...its only 353 days away. What do you say you put down that donut and lets get down to business....

Canada day with the Deputy....
Well it took a little persuasion... and then a little more persuasion but "I got my man".
I thought seeing as we were out a training date due to the Holiday falling on a Wednesday it just made common sense that David should get a walk in and why not walk in a parade....
He didn't see it my way right off... and then he didn't see my way right off again
and then low and behold my e-mail chimed with the news... David wishes to walk with the Bodilogix crew on the big day of the Parade... We were elated !!!
He has been successfully "Bodilogixafied!!"
I was so excited for him to "break with tradition" and get into the here and now....
This is big !!! Walking with the gang... the Naked gang....
Watching my "new Boyfriend" walking confident in his shoes letting all of Cobourg know his ambitions for the coming year as he sheds 100 pounds was nothing short of one of the bravest things I have ever seen.
David Cromlish you are made of the "good stuff" and we are here for you...
I toast you with a my ice cold Berry Blast Smoothy (available here at the Bodilogix...ha ha)
88 More to go...
