WOW..... Time Flies By

So its been almost 9 months since I last did an update, I'm Slipping badly with keeping the blog up to date as I promised but thanks for the nudging emails :-)

Well, I'm still in Jamaica right now with the Stewarts Group as Aftersales and Bodyshop Manager, we have added Jaguar and Landrover to the mix and given BMW up to another dealer.

This Weeks Adventure, Mystic Brownies, Ziplining down a mountain, Pum Pum and Bobsled......... Phew What a Day!!!!!

Well, Like I said, What a day ;-)

Decided to take a trip out to Mystic Mountain in Ocho Rios this weekend.

Mystic is one of the main tourist attractions but having been here for 2 and a 1/2 years I've never been.

So the day started with a nice leisurely drive from Kingston to Ochi on the new highway which I have to say is fantastic for cutting down on time but bloody steep to get up.

Targeted Hypertrophy Training (T.H.T)

A FREE Workout program....... That actually works!!

So I've started this new workout program at the Gym called Targeted Hypertrophy Training or T.H.T. for short.

As you can see its from a guy called Mark McManus who has really put the research into the science behind muscle building, exercise and optimal diet to suit anybody's lifestyle. There's a choice of 2 workout routines, 3 or 5 days per week which both run for 10 weeks at which time you swap over or alternate. Theres also a choice of meal plans to go for, I've gone for the 5 days per week workout with a low carb diet plan (Dont worry, mark explains it all in depth)

A Weekend In Port Antonio, Frenchmans Cove & San San Tropez

Decided to get out of Kingston for the weekend and go over to Port Antonio on the other side of the island on the west coast.

Drove out to a little beach called Frenchman's Cove (www.frenchmanscove.com) which is not too far from the main town, a little bit secluded and its a private beach so no hassles. Frenchmans is set in really lovely countryside grounds with a freshwater stream that runs from the mountains down into the sea right on the beach so as your walking out the temperature of the water changes from hot to cold and back to hot again.

Golf, Back to the Frustration..... but that's not a bad thing

So I started playing golf again.........

A few weeks ago one of the guys I work with at BMW started talking about getting into playing golf as his son who was a good young player had decided to take a break from the game.

Being as I haven't swung a club in 2 years (They have been sat idle) I thought it would be a good time to start up again as we should hopefully be at least in the same stage so should be able to improve together as we go along.

Medical Insurance, Rubber Gloves & KY Jelly

So I finally (after two and a half years) got round to going to Sagicor to get my medical done so I can have some piece of mind with the health and life insurance.

Had to jump through several hoops as expected with the usual round of tests and endless questions.......

So, completed the questionnaire and then it was off to do weight, height, blood tests, P in the bottle etc, etc

Then it was into the examination room and strip down to the boxy's ready for the check over. So I'm reading a notice on the wall about the importance of washing your hands regularly and thoroughly and I happen to glance around and see some of these sat there on the trolley.....

I'M Already Getting Worried............ Then I see this...................................

I'M Already at this point putting my jeans back on when the doctor comes walking back in.............

I'm stuck....cant go anywhere... there is no escape route, In the Examination Room, NOBODY CAN HEAR YOU SCREAM!!!!!

Well as it turns out, that is not a part of the examination :-) :-) :-) Heart rate was up for a little while but as it turns out I'm as fit as a fiddle, Lungs, eyes, ears, heart are all good and blood pressure is well within normal range both at rest and immediately after physical activity, sugar levels are normal and I'm going to live forever :-)

Good job they didn't do a brain scan (Or in my case a scan for a brain) Not so bad after all then .... :-)
