Hot Dogs and Bratwurst and Beer…Oh My!
Another Fourth of July and another holiday loaded with bad eating choices. Okay, I don’t actually drink beer - maybe on rare occasion to be ’sociable’ but somehow I got through college without developing a taste for the stuff - but hot dogs, burgers, potato salad, well that’s another story. This year is going to be fairly easy for me as most of my family and friends are away (sadly) but I bet I’ll have at least one opportunity to make a bad food choice.
Workouts are going really well, I exceeded expectations with my bench pressing last night and can move up to heavier weights ahead of the schedule laid out by the program I’m on, so it’s good to see that I can still lift ahead of the curve even well into what used to be middle age (50 is the new 30 right, so I’m still a twenty-something - in my mind at least). I’ve just got to stick to nutrition plans and get back on the cardio horse (okay bike) and get this fat off. Inside this beefy lumberjack is a Men’s Health model just dying to get out! In fact, by now he’s suffocating!
Have a happy Fourth of July to all of you Americans out there - and to the rest of the world too, even if it isn’t a holiday for you it should still be a good day!

Happy 4th to you, too! Curb the Brats and throw in a bison steak (YUM).
