I’ve recently arrived in Toronto (I arrived on Sunday night), and on my first day down here, my personal trainer and friend Kui Wu has already put me through the wringer. We began by weighing me (I was around 170 lbs), and then we did some Ju jitsu to warm up. This was followed by some boxing, finally culminating in a short cross fitness routine involving push-ups, sit-ups, and shoulder exercises.

Today wasn’t super hard core, since much of it involved simply going over some fundamentals, but I’m nevertheless still tired. He’s putting me on a 4 times a week routine, so it’ll be interesting to see how well I do with that kind of training regimen.

Otherwise, things are good. The DVD completed, I’ve been focusing my efforts on the book again, which is going well. I’m writing about 1.5-2K words a day, and I’m hoping to increase that to 3K for the next few weeks. I really want to get the first draft completed as soon as possible to allow me a bit of a breather. In any case, despite still feeling sad and a little downtrodden, I’m remaining positive and doing my best to be strong and healthy.

I’ll be posting some ‘before’ pictures shortly, and when the routine is down, I hope to even film some of it for you guys and girls!
