Well that was one for the books... Dave Cromlish and I will be featured on a new and hot episode of your favourite local cable show... you know the one... Municipal matters. Great stuff guys. The spot should be airing tomorrow evening (Wednesday Sept 30) we think around 6:00pm but we will confirm tomorrow.
Apparently we are having a inpromptu "cogeco viewing sit in" on the famous red leather couch here at Bodilogix HQ. Dave was great... he really is quite a good public speaker. I was in awe at how well he handled the "tough" questions... especially about the one when he is asked about his thoughts on ladies corsets... just making sue you were paying attention, regardless I am sure you won't want to miss it.
I am hoping the weigh-in is good this week and we get to that goal of a 60 pound loss for thanksgiving however having read Dave's confessions of the weekend I know what I have to do tomorrow... Tomorrow is "legs" and I will smack the snot out of Dave and get that nuptial dinner scared off his you know what before it has time to land... the confession does explain a little more about the lack of whining on Dave's part when I put on the pressure....
Dave has been really giving it his all in the gym and we are able to try new things almost every workout... This truely is the fun part of my role in this project... Watching Dave amaze himself at his own new found abilities as we continue to open up the doors to other physical endeavors to be enjoyed. What will we do next, Zip lining, rock climbing, skydiving... who knows....

That's our man....
Well you can all just imagine the joy one feels when the student is "getting it.." I mean really "getting it..."
I'm going to stick my neck out on this one...
I believe...
David Cromlish will never be on another "diet" in his life...
I'd even venture to say David Cromlish will always maintain some level of physical activity in his life long after he says good by to this 100 pounds we are in the midst of shedding.
Although Dave may mix-up the "lingo" from time to time... (Bosu Ball) not (Buso Ball) David is truly learning the true meaning of "self respect". David is interested in understanding the amazing biological machine he is and we all are and giving it what it needs to run efficiently and at its very best.
As we clock our three workouts weekly I am feeling far more freedom as David's trainer to test his limits, both cardiovascular as well as in terms of overall strength. When I think of where we were 3 months ago to where we are now.. it really boggles the mind. It is a real testament to Dave and to the acceptance of the the theory that no matter where you are at, change is possible. I am reminded of our first walks together and how obviously uncomfortable the big guy was in his own body. I think Dave is learning every day about himself and what he is capable of... I also think the best of Dave is yet to come. I for one am happy to be along for the ride.

A beautiful day for a hike...
Well wasn't the weather just a gift yesterday... that was Sunday for those on the time delay reading this fine blog.
As part of our on going devotion to embracing a healthy active lifestyle I had suggested to big Dave that we once again "take it outside"!!! This time we would leave the streets of Cobourg behind and head out into the nature ... The nature of hiking... and why not, we need to get a little time out on the trails as part of the next crazy phase of Dave and Andrea's excellent adventure. You will hear all about our upcoming proposed expedition soon enough. (We will be walking til our feet fall off...)
My husband David and I decided on a 2km hike as a mild introduction to an activity my fella introduced me to quite sometime ago... we are talking hiking people.
Picture it... Northumberland Hills Forest...
The trail was to be the Orange trail... low and behold it was a wee bit overgrown with poison ivy and as much as I love a good hike, unless we hang glide no one was going to get out of this one unscathed... It was nothing but Poison Ivy!
Plan B
I thought perhaps the blue trail that I believe is frequented more often offered a wider path and less chance of dancing with the Ivy.
..Nope....
Plan C
Didn't really have one... not a worry however, we found a wide sandy logging road by the look of it and really... every road has to go somewhere... or does it? Hhhmmm.
Plan D
Keep walking... smile a lot and tell a good anecdote periodically so no one smells uncertainty or fear...
Plan E
Keep walking...just keep walking... Keep smiling, smiling smiling, just keep smiling....
Plan F
Ask the wanna-be motorcross champion dude with the nice threads for directions...he's fast, he's loud,he's well dressed...
... but then again so am I...
Nice fella, the Dave's give him the questions but this boy is definitely lost.. in more ways than one if you get what I am saying. We pressed on ...
So much for the 2k hike. I think our route was closer to 4.5km and I am happy to say we were all in good spirits and "our man Dave" was doing great and handling our debacle like a pro. We got one cool cucumber on our hands and that's a good thing/ Next years 100km "oops" make that 600 km hike should be a breeze...
Its all in the training people...

Ever closer to the Goal !!!!
Sneaky monkey that Cromlish.... He should know by now how I fret and shimmy with anticipation for the "word" on Thursday mornings.... You know the "W" word .... "weight-in"...
This morning was like every other Thursday morning... stressful!!!!! very stressful !!!!!!
Low and behold my boyfriend must have been super stealthy on the entrance today because I did not see let alone hear that fella wondering in... Gone is the old familiar A&W soundtrack as we discussed sometime ago...but now he is damn near "cat like".
The others attending the breakfast club workout time slot alerted me to our man Dave's attendance. "Hey", I was afraid to ask he looked so serious... My blood runs cold...Ohhhh he's GOOOODDD with that Stoicism... dead pan... can't read him...he gives nothing away...I feel for his kids!!!! I feel like it's been an hour already.... "WELL!!!!".....
and then there it is... A smile and a hand of five fingers held up high for the anticipating audience that surrounds probably feeling the same pins and needles as I did. Bodilogix breaks out in cheers !!!! Down another five !!!!
We replay the last weeks events, what we anticipated and for a brief minute and only a minute we are satisfied...
and just like that... we are looking forward to our next goal. "We will have the fifty off by our Television debut I say all business". Cromlish looks in the air reviewing the dates and days leading up... "should just get it, it's doable but pretty tight. Like the well oiled machine this team operates as we separate and go about our morning today tasks in the gym, Cromlish hits the treadmill and I get under a stack on the leg press... I am working on my own buns of steel forever the student.
44 pounds down my friend... am I proud of our Dave... Your dam right !!!! My wheels turn as I review the week in my own head. I won't change a thing this week. stay the course, keep the program as is, its bearing fruit. I realize my thoughts are already winding up and I am already getting nervous anticipating next Thursday.

" Mr. Demill, I'm ready for my close-up..."
Sorry I have been hot in negotiations with my publicist, manager and agent regarding our upcoming appearance on that ever so HOt Hot Hot show, maybe you have seen it... Municipal matters... Well it does, especially when Dave and Andrea's most excellent adventure takes to the airwaves...
Really things have been a little less hairy around here especially since Dave Cromlish has shaved off his lip sweater... Nice. That's street lingo for Mustache for those of you not in the know...He really is quite a handsome fella and I think we may be down a pound due to the follicular shorn... Ohhh sound dirty!!!!
Just the other day as I bid our man Dave "au revoir", I could not help but notice his pants seemed a little confused. I must confess I should really have brought the matter to Dave's attention sooner. Fact of the matter is is looked pretty much like the man was wearing Collates, you know, like a long maxi skort... interesting look... Visualize along with me ...
Could raise a few questions down at the police station. I sure was intrigued, that's a lot of responsibility to put on a belt.
I have since heard there has been some shopping over at the Cromlish household. That is exciting. The man needs pants dammit !!! Pants !!!!
I am excited to see Dave's shape changing right before my very eyes even if his weight loss on the scale is leveling off. We are getting into the real work now. We are promoting Lean muscle gains at the same time we are shedding the body fat and it will soon make more sense to track not only weight but actual body measurements as the inches melt off of our man Dave.
I believe we will be down the 50pounds he intends to be down in time for thanksgiving. Good goal and I support it. That is our next stop on Dave's journey... I as his trainer and friend can see this day clearly and we will toast our morning smoothies high and the Bodilogix will echo with laughter... of course all that will happen tomorrow too, just because it is Wednesday.
