Hi. I tried to upload an animated gif image about my 'body-development', but Blogger does not support it. Why's that? This is something very important. Now I can not show you guys (all 3 of you who visited once my site) how the exercises working for me.
Actually there are ways to make Blogger show the animation but why would I want to do that? It should be a simple task for a website!
Anyway...today I have reached 31 push ups and sit ups which means I will double my efforts and I'm gonna stay by '30' in the morning and start from '11' in the evening. When I reach '30' in the evening I will hold on by this number, so every day I will make 60 push ups and 60 sit ups. I will go on with this until I feel comfortable to raise the numbers to 40-40. This is the plan.
Every 20 days there's going to be a new photo of me, but I really prefer an animated image so if Blogger Team won't change anything about this technical issue I have to choose the uncomfortable way to upload it:[ But at least we can see my 'muscle-evolution', right?
Remember, this whole exercise thing is not because I want to show my hairy chest to the world... it is for my own motivation. Without this I would be too lazy to take care of my physics:]
Ordinary Day 'cause I'm sitting on my butt in our rented flat, cook something new and hope that I will get a phone call from an employer with a job offer. In the last 3 days I gave my CV's to at least 30 restaurants. Only 1 would hire me right now (January is low season) but I still hope that I can find a better place.
Running out of money soon. I don't heat the room, so it's cold. Trying to keep the costs low. Kinda boring, but I have no more mood to walk in the city again looking for a job. If nothing comes up I will take the only offer I've got:[
Okay...it's time to cool down the potatoes.

THE SHOW MUST GO ON
I skipped couple days with the exercises. Today I have to catch up, which means I must make 112 more push ups and sit ups. So much for keeping myself on schedule.
I found a new job in a restaurant but I'm not sure I want to do this kinda work any longer. Whenever I think of it my stomach says NO! I've got enough of the stress from the hospitality industry. Seriously, I mean I worked in a Travel Agency 5 long summers, had 4 long contracts on a cruise ship (that's 3 years), and now already 1 year serving food and drinks. Too bad I only have experience in this shit.
The best jobs I ever had was being a handyman in american camps. Nothing else but FUN. Fixing broken stuff, cleaning up old buildings, making new facilities, lawn mowing, gardening, painting, etc. And all this with an excellent team, with good friends. I miss that time.
I've got some plans shaping in my head. I hope I can make them come true. I want to sign up for a course to learn about networking and other computer stuff so I could find a job later. I had an interview with a man about this and in 2 years I can bring up my skills to professional level which is pretty good money. By the way I hate this money-money-money thing. Without money there is almost no chance to survive in our world, unless I am a monk without family and live alone in the mountains circulating the energy of the universe.
Bullshit! Time to get back to take care of my muscles:]

LONG BLOG
Hi Everyone! How are you today?
I couldn't think of any good title for this blog so forgive me. Just read it.
I was so sleepy that I didn't have a willpower to get up and walk Dewi to the tubestation. I woke up later around 12pm. But I had a good
- dream. It is not connected to things what recently going on so I can say that it is a good dream. Good doesn't mean funny, nice or pleasant. It means that it is something new, spontaneous, not expected. In the dream I found out that I supposed to make a school-examination in the next day. What now? One of the teacher from my University (which I finished 6 years ago) told me not to forget about it. After that I went to the post office to send the application fee for the exam when my mobile rang. It was her and she asked me to write a demo first, regarding to an essay which I should have given to her long before. But because I do not visit classes anymore (like many of my fellow classmates) both of us forgot about. It was already late and I had the night to make couple pages just as an example which would prove that I am prepared for tomorrow. She also told me that one of my friend will lead the exam. Then I went home to my parents to have dinner. We were in the old house where I grew up and lived until 2005. We were sitting in the dining room and who came down from upstairs? The guy who supposed to lead the exam. Ha-ha-ha! Ol' pal, how you doin'? He made sure I have nothing to worry about, tomorrow we gonna have only a little conversation, nothing serious. So I opened a bottle white wine and grabbed 3 wineglasses from the cupboard. I even asked my parents why we have so many wineglasses and all of them in different sizes and shapes?
That was the dream. Can not say anything about it really.
- last night I finally finished Gothic 3. Thank God! This game really made me addicted and was my priority to finish. I have to admit I enjoyed it but it was soooooo long. Now I can concentrate on other things which are actually important too. Hope I won't start a new game.
- aaaand after so many years I did it!
I made some exercises this morning... at 12pm:] 11 push-ups and 11 sit-ups with some stretching! Well done, Viktor! It's a good start. Thinking of that in my younger years I always did some kind of sport, it is unbelievable that I did nothing in the last 3 years. I start feeling that I'm getting rusty. I have to do something about it. Don't want to have problems later with my body. I need my muscles back and my flexibility. Endurance and mental strenght... willpower. I have to fully concentrate on things I'm doing and I have to finish everything I start. Have to, have to, have to... It is not the first time that I promise this to myself. Maybe now that I'm writing to the public, it will force me to keep my promise. Let's see together! If I don't change, then you guys can suggest a punishment for me. (And I still have the right to decide if I go through it or not. Ha-ha!) Whatever! Many people will not read this anyway. One thing for my own motivation: Here's a picture how I look now. Don't fall in love!
- so, my tea got cold in the meantime.

HANGOVER
Recently I learned couple things how to cure hangover. But the truth is that there is nothing really what helps. Not yet. The best what we can do is sleep and drink lots of water.
- more alcohol: some say if we drink more alcohol next morning it will help. It will certainly relax us, but don't get used to it: it could lead to alcohol addiction. Nevertheless it just gives more job for the liver to fight more toxins. Alcohol causes dehydration, so better know the limit.
- big breakfast: egg is good because it helps the liver to dissolve alcohol. Banana and kiwi helps with potassium. Fruit juice is not a big help, it's good only against dehydration.
- overburned toast: it's not helping, because only the active coal can filter the alcohol, and the two are not the same at all:]
- pills for headache: do not take those, especially not the ones which contain paracetamol. Those just give more work for the liver. Aspirin might help with lots of water but if somebody is allergic to aspirin, it could be very dangerous (causes bleeding in stomach).
- coffee: makes us awake..but only temporary. Caffeine makes the veins narrow so it will reduce headache, but it also causes dehydration and after the effect is gone we will feel more exhausted then before:]
- energy drinks: if we mix alcohol with energy drinks then we won't feel that drunk. We think we are not drunk. But it is only a symptom. We misjudge our own capability for concentration and coordination. Very dangerous.
Hope this helped!
