Wow. The past two mornings I've been 168 pounds when I got up. For those of you who've been counting, that's TEN pounds up from my lowest, 158. It's far beyond time to crack down.

Rather than going on metabolic adjustment on my diet plan, I'm back to the beginning. Three protein days in a row, 6 protein meals per day. In addition, I'm adding daily cardio before the workouts. So...

Today's workout:

Cardio: 30-minute jog

Warmup, 3 sets of 5 w/45lb bar
* Overhead squat
* Squat
* Good morning
* Lunge
* Romanian deadlift
* Bent-over row

Workout:
Snatch-Grip Deadlift, 125lbs, 5 sets of 6
Push Press, 80 lbs, 5 sets of 6

Let's get these 10 pounds off and then some.

Today's workout:

30 minute jog.

WOW. I didn't blog for two weeks. Shame on me.

OK, July 29th was TRT #4 for me. 15 miles, although we ended at a trailhead about two miles from the very end. Still, it was labeled "Tahoe Rim Trail", so it counted.

I've been bad, though. I didn't work out AT ALL between then and now. Today I jogged 2.5 miles in a half-hour. So that wasn't bad. Now to keep it up.

Anyway, I promise to be better.
