Train-up Day 1 (Back to Square One)

Starting Weight 225 lbs (sigh)

Yes, the holidays did a number on my training. I managed to get to the gym twice while in NYC but the feta cheese and the baklava and the lamb... and all the other goodies did me in. And yes, beer is a "goody". So, I'm starting from square one. Actually, square minus 3 or 5.

Anne and I joined the YMCA. I was supposed to be there right now, but I decided to get a second cup of coffee and write something first. I'm going to go cancel my other gym membership today. There are many cool things about the YMCA. There's a rock climbing wall and a pool. Also, another location, not too far from my house has a "skate park". I haven't seen it, but I may go look at it. If it looks cool, I may put together a new skateboard.

Anne was really on board with joining the Y. They have a nursery for the little ones and we can drop Penny off there. Anne can get a workout in and Penny can play. When Penny is older they have lots of sport programs. Actually, even at 11 months, she can take swimming lessons. I think Anne and I will sign her up. I think swimming is important to learn as early as possible.

Well, that's the update. I'm off to the gym.

Ok, I just got back from the gym. Today at 5:45, it was a lot busier than I expected. I guess I should chalk it up to New Years resolutions. I'm sure it'll be dead by February. I did back and shoulders today.

4 sets of lat pulls
3 sets of seated rows
3 sets of upright rows
3 sets of military press
3 sets of shrugs
3 sets or front raises

That's all folks!

Hang in there. My Son did the cooking during his visit here. He is essentially a chef in a different life. Bottom line I ate out of obligation for all the work he was doing, and simply because everything was delicious. Seven pounds! That is what this bit of gluttony cost me. But like you, it's back to the treadmill.
