"Jonan" and Pearl
Jonan is a nickname given me by an ex-lifting partner who thought I was
starting to look a bit too much like Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Nobody calls me that anymore, as it's ancient history.
I'm still weightlifting (and working out in general), though, and it's still
high on my list of favorite things to do. Not so much because it's fun anymore,
but because I really love being strong. As of October 16, 2006, I'm maxing 1
rep at 170lbs on the flat bench; with the encouragement of a gym buddy, I started
pushing myself again and seem to be getting stronger, against all odds. Well,
you know, a girl needs a hobby...
