Yup, you heard right. I'm trying to lose wieght. =P Granted, I'm not a large person by any means, only 170lbs. But for my line of work, I kinda am required o keep the wieght down. lol I've been slacking on that by a large margin for over two years now, and I am finally taking steps to change that. My mate and I recently joined Lifetime Fitness, and are very happy with the place. If you can either afford or get the signup fees waved, I highly recommend it.

I now have a personal trainer who I go to twice a week, so that on top of still taking my martial arts class, I should be back into shape in now time. Maybe I should post some before and after pictures... Whatch'y'all think? According to my trainer, I could be quote "Ripped by January". lol We'll see. =P

In slightly other news I have gained my second promotion in my Anshin Kai Do, maybe me a Yellow Belt. This style of MA is a little different in it's rankings. Usually yellow belt is the first promotion. In this style, it's the second. So wootness. =P

So yeah, there you have it. lol That's the newest news I have for you. Except this: I have taken a gift art which  darkzel has given me (currently is not posted to his FA page) and I have colored it myself using color pencils. :) I'm really pleased with how well it came out, especially considering it's been about 8 years since I have really spent an effort in coloring something. Once  darkzel has uploaded his version, I shall then upload both versions to my page. Anxious to see what kind of response I get. :) Anyway, I'm outta here, gotto get "get ripped". =P Laters!
