Thanks for the comments, Dex. Yeah this is a good ¨cut¨. The weight game off as easy as I put it on on my last bulk. Now if I can only get down to my goal of 164 lbs with muscle intact.

I took the day off yesterday for recuperation. It was a relaxing day.

I am anxious to get back the gym today. Today is Shoulders day.

My shoulders are going to hurt tomorrow.

Today was Leg Day, but I stayed up last night very late with an amiga and drank a bit too much vino. I am going to be early tonight. Tomorrow will be Leg Day.

Yeah, late nights and vino can mess up your leg workout. I'm sure it was worth it though.

My legs are fried. I have to be carefull crossing these 6 lane Avenues. I can´t zig, zag and sprint like I normally do.

There was snow on the volcano behind my apartment this morning. Who would think there would be snow on the equator.

Why are you switching on Nove 18? I thought you were down there longer. Funny I look at your workouts and am impressed, then I remember your at that crazy altitude. LOL. All that leg work with no O2.

I was going to start my bulk on Nov. 18th when I return to the states. I am now 169/170 lbs. I really want to break through to a new low before I bulk. I am thinking of meeting my goal of 164 lbs before switching to the bulk. I think I can do this in a few weeks.

Yeah, yesterday was a killer. I walked around the gym for a couple of minutes between sets just to catch my breath. At one point I thought I was going to puke. Today is Shoulders Day again. Not so bad for the O2.

I walked for 3 miles today.

I walked 2 miles today.

It wasn´t a great workout. I was feeling weak. I think the diet and the lack of oxygen is starting to take its toll. I will be home next Saturday. I think I am ready for going home. I miss speaking English.

I don´t know if I will be posting this weekend or not. When I get to my destination I expect to find an internet cafe, but you never know.

Even though it's harder for you up there, I can't help but think that time with low O2 is really helping your absorbtion and lung capacity. That'll be nice when you get home.

I am hoping the same thing. When I had my blood tested they checked my hemoglobin. It was above 100%. I can´t help but think the locals have theirs in the 150% range. Most locals here have reddish color skin. It could be the indian blood, but also the excess hemoglobin.

I am enjoying my mini-time off in Cuenca Ecuador. It is the third largest town in Ecuador. I don´t know how big it is, but it is much smaller than Quito (2,000,000+) I like it here very much. The air is cleaner, no crowds in the streets and the traffic is not insane. I could live here for a year or two. Very laid back. I didn´t check out the local gyms though. One more day, then I fly back to Quito. 4 days after that I will be back home in gringolandia. Time flies when you are having fun.
