(Day 285 / -125 lbs.) 98 Days of Determination On The Wall

You take one down, try to lose another pound, 97 days of determination on the wall...

Ridiculousness aside, I really do feel like I'm getting close to something, some kind of ending or perhaps a coming-together. I began this otherwise unremarkable Saturday with an invigoration hour or so at the gym. It was a dry run to and from but as I write this the weather is fairly soggy. Sometimes the weather cooperates, sometimes it doesn't.

I added some weight to my typical routine. At the biceps curl machine I lifted 10-rep sets of 140 lbs each followed by by a slow isometric-like 3 reps of 160 lbs. I moved up to 130 lbs on the triceps extension and 190 for both bench press and butterfly. I also added 10 lbs. for each of my leg exercises. In summary, a good workout.

I followed it with a typical smoothie:

1/2 Banana
2 Frozen Strawberries
1/3C Frozen Blueberries
1S EAS Premium Protein (Chocolate)
1S Ground Flax
Water

My wife took the kids to their various Saturday activities, leaving me alone to address some of the stuff that had accumulated in my in-basket. I quickly organized things into their appropriate folders among the 43 that David Allen has taught me to use and cranked out some two-minute stuff. Everyone will be back soon, so I plan on enjoying the rest of the day with family.
