Decided that was enough for the day. I need to add in some cardio. Sandbags should get loaded on Saturday.

Diet

Diet alterations start today to try to drop some fat before I go on vacation. Simple, really. Eat less. Do more cardio. Shoot for 250g of protein, and nothing other than fruits and veggies other than during training.

Waist @ navel: 38 inches

Felt great today after the week off (due to work and other shit getting in the way of training, which is very frustrating.) This session represents another phase of training, where I move from not working so hard to working to break PRs.
