Hello faithful followers! I know you all are mighty worried that I might have fallen off the train, but never fear! While I might have stumbled a bit, I wasn’t close to falling. I just have to make a pact with myself: gotta stick to the Sunday-Tuesday-Thursday schedule, otherwise I get myself all screwed up. My schedule ended up falling on a Friday last week, and Friday’s are just far too busy, so I didn’t do my pushups then. I could have done them Saturday, but Saturday’s are usually just really lazy, so I didn’t do them then. So I did Day 2 of Week 3 on Sunday, and I was going to try and do a few days in a row to try and get back on track, but we had my brother’s birthday dinner last night (happy birthday once again, little bro!), so I wasn’t able to then. But I did finish up Week 3 tonight very strongly. I think just to make things even again, I am going to do my progress test either tomorrow or Thursday, then wait until Sunday to start up Week 4. I will lift a little in between there just to keep active. But I want to make sure I stick to my schedule and this is the easiest way to do it. Here are my stats for Days 2 and 3 of Week 3.

14, 19, 14, 14, 31 (max set, minimum of 19)

16, 21, 15, 15, 35 (max set, minimum of 21)

Very excited about my max sets these two days, shows I am progressing a little! Week 4 starts ramping up pretty good, and Week 5 even starts adding more sets, so the progress is a good thing. I also did some lifting tonight to make up for the missed days, and I am feeling really good.

And on the weight side: I went down for the first time! Woo! I still need to work on my diet a bit, but Kirsten and I are starting a “eating out fund” next month – meaning we have a set amount we will spend on things like that, and when its gone, its gone. Hopefully that helps curb the constant going out for us
