Work has been deadly with retirement programs and potential layoffs and your truley being camp councillor for many. Thank goodness for the gym. The weeks are getting "routinish" and the routine seems to be working.  I have upped the abs and eased a lil on the arms.

Monday was a make up burn circiut, Tuesday was legs (PB 340 x6×5) and Abs, Weds Chest (PB 230×1, it just wasnt going up the second time), Thursday was Back, Arms ABs and Yesterday was another 45m circuit and I did 4 diff shoulders exercises.  Tmrw will be swimming with junior and the weekly who can hang onto the bottom content. To be 10 years old again…

Vital stats. Weight finally levelled off at 212 after a 24lb weight gain since July. No smoking for almost 7 months, no drinking for almost 19 months. Tmrw  I will be 47, resting hb of 52 bpm, great blood pressure and all my markers are good including test for colon cancer and tt levels. Like I said, thank goodness for gym.

I had the gym to myself today. Snow Day (I’m likin my Jeep!) So I had an uninterrupted session of legs and went to town.

Squats 140/180/250/300/300. Leg press (wide / narrow position) 300/360/400/400 (8sets). Sumo deeps squats 180 ss w/cable squats 120 x3.  One Legged cable deadlfts ss with plie squat with 75 dbell.  Leg cables, Bike intervals for 20 minutes.  It was great.

My weight has hit 210, but bf has not gone up. Calipers still at "8" (15%) i feel very good. Wieght has increased 22 pounds since Sept.  I had to get new jeans (again) bu 36" are a lil loose (thank god).  I am going to watch my food a lil closer.  I am hungry all the time. March 8 will be 18 months alcohol free and 6 months smoke free.  I managed to hold my breath for over a minute in the pool last sunday.
