Man Day- Success!
Written by Aron Strong on June 18, 2008 – 12:06 pm -What an awesome weekend Man Day was! I wish I had more pictures. I was running around too much to grab many.
Clovis Hills members, and World Champion lifters Nick and Raul were beasts benching over 400 lbs. They ripped phone books and broke apples in half with their bare hands. Very cool to watch. And both these guys are the nicest guys you’ll meet. Strength + meekness = very cool.
Steve and Dave Mac spent weeks in the gym training to show off their muscles. Or at least weeks waiting for the muscle suits to arrive in the mail.
Dave Mac proved his Iron Man prowess and broke two bricks with those manly muscles before Nick showed him up by breaking six. (it’s not your eyesight, it’s a pic of the tv screen in the green room taken with my phone)
Paul Haugen tore it up with some big feature music including featuring ZZ Top, Queen, Thin Lizzy and the “Bad Boys” song from Cops. “I Wanna Talk About Me” by Toby Keith rocked with some seriously smoking video by Kevin.
Outside, families had a great time in our Sports Center, K2 Challenge, 2 Man Freethrow Challenge and Putting Green.
A couple long days, but another can’t miss Clovis Hills weekend in the record books.

Weight Loss Challenge: week 2
Written by Aron Strong on June 18, 2008 – 11:12 am -
Today’s official weigh in: 221
Last Weeks official weigh in: 222.5
Official start weight: 225.5
Well, only down a pound and a half this week. Really, I’m pretty happy about it. I didn’t eat well last week. Eating has always been a stress reliever and a reward for hard work. With Man Day and the auditorium upgrades and being on my 8th of 12 days of work in a row (not all that impressive compared to others in the office at the moment, but still a nice stretch), I’ve been rewarding myself too much.
Of course, as I write this right now I’m sitting in Cinnamonster eating a roll with an Earl Grey chaser. My assistant was nice enough to give me a gift card to help me get through. I’m practically obliged to eat one. I guess we’ll see at next weeks weigh in.
