Hello 260s!

[avram]

The scale flashed 271 for half a second, then flicked to 269.5 and stayed there. Just to be sure, I allowed it to reset then weighed myself again. No flicker this time, just 269.5, steady.

• Weight: 269.5
• Dumbbell squats:
  • 15 reps with pair of 18-lb weights.
  • 15 reps with pair of 18-lb weights.
  • 15 reps with pair of 21-lb weights.
  • Standing quad stretch after each set.

  • 15 reps with pair of 21-lb weights.

  • 20 reps with 9-lb weight.

  • Seemed a bit more difficult than usual. Maybe because I haven’t done them in a while.

w00t! you, my dear, are a total inspiration. i'm aiming to shed some pounds this summer (isn't everyone?) but no, really, i'm serious. i've packed on some serious pounds over the past three years and it makes me really upset. so my dad & i are going to work out together and eat lots of vegetables. i want to keep an exercise log similar to yours... perhaps i'll start a new journal just for that? muhahaha.

anyway, congrats. you're doing great.

Thanks. I think this is my third or fourth year of being serious. It may actually be sticking this time. I'll probably know for sure around the end of summer.
