It's All In The Details

Weigh In: 310
Workout: 45 today, 360 for April

I had a pretty good workout, and then met with Josh the Destroyer for lunch. It gave me another good push, and I learned a ton. Basically, I'm changing up my workout again, this time focusing more on a 'full body' workout, using more dumbbells than bars and machines, and my cardio is going from timed distance (45/60 minutes a day) to High Intensity Training, something a lot of you guys use.

Also, a good thing to talk about today is the family Easter party. My side of the family had our dinner tonight, as my wife's family will be tomorrow night. Tonight, everyone was mentioning how good I looked. Now, I think part of it was because my dad had mentioned it to other family members that I've been working so hard, and I think a few of the comments were out of 'requirement' - people I wouldn't expect to hear it from, but either way, I'll take it. It felt good.

So, I was talking to my cousin, and he was telling me how he has been wanting to get back in the gym, and that he 'really should' drop about 60. He's not out-of-control by any means, but he's starting to pack a gut - the man likes his Jack and Cokes. Long story made short, I told him to put his money where his mouth is, and I now have a new workout partner. We're working out together at 7am on Monday, and I plan on working out with him 3-4 times a week. Great news.

So, that's about it. I did really well resisting the temptations of a family gathering dinner, all the 'good for your belly, bad for your health' food. I had ham, pickles and a roll. Very healthy, kept me where I needed to be, and I've got 2 more weigh-ins before I officially change the blog title. Until next time, Happy Easter to those who celebrate, and to those that don't, happy rest-of-your-weekend!
