Missing In Action

August 9th, 2007 · No Comments ·

Over the last week, I helped my friends set up their office at Mid-town west (36th st. b/t 5th and 6th ave.) in New York City. (Another reason why I haven’t updated my fitness blog.) I significantly cut down the hours spent in the gym because I had worked for at least six to seven hours a day putting down new floorings, moldings, and carrying furniture. Even though I could barely go to the gym, I still managed to break a sweat (more like drenched in sweat because of the humidity) and burnt some calories. Below are some pictures that we took from the beginning until the end of the office renovation. I hope you’d enjoy them.

This is what the office looked like before we have done any renovations to it.

Renovating the office space by putting down the first row of the floorings.

and a week of brutal sawing, trimming, and hammering continues…

No matter how busy I was, still had to check the score of my beloved New York Yankees.

A rare break from working was the only thing I looked forward to in one of those ruthless late night office construction. Oh, by the way, I am proud of myself for not touching even one of the Heinekens.

Floorings are done, now it’s time for some wiring.

Now the fun part started after finishing the interior of the office - moving furniture.

Everything was brought to the new office, but we still had to assemble all the furniture. But at least we could smile and flex to the camera and say, “we have moved in!”

This is the night after an all-nighter from moving and assembling furniture.

So, here I am, finally get the chance to share what I have been doing lately. I did a lot of functional workouts, such as lifting furniture, hammering, sawing, etc. I hope to get back to my triathlon training by tomorrow, Friday the 10th. While I was gone, I hope you all had kept up with your workout routines and had healthy diet. I will be giving out physical test all week long just to check on your progress. Just kidding, enjoy my pictures and have a great night.
