Day 8
In the comments section yesterday Chris Piers said I should give weekly weight updates. No problem. Earlier last week I weighed in at 234 at the gym - this morning I was at 230. I'll be more scientific with it starting this week.
Also, I got an email from someone asking why I'm not doing any stomach exercises. I had umbilical hernia surgery about a month and a half ago - when I try to do crunches or any stomach exercise I get a knot where the incision was. I was told not to worry about it yet but to let my doctor know if it gets any worse. At any rate, I don't feel comfortable focusing too much on the gut just yet.

Finances
I am challenging myself to not spend a dime the next three days with the exception of some groceries that I need to pick up. It's the responsible thing to do with the LA trip starting on Thursday. I probably should make the same promise for next Monday through Thursday with a Wednesday night exception for a party.

When I went to get my steak I pointed out the piece I wanted and the butcher said, "That one's kind of small, are you sure you want that one?" It was around a half-pound of steak. So I said, "yeah." Then he grabs a big piece of sirloin and says, "I'll give you this one for free. Make sure you have enough for dinner." It was really cool of him and now I have steak for Wednesday night as well.I can only eat red meat on Monday and Wednesday night because that's when Robin has class...
7 - Glass of Cabernet, piece of dark chocolate, four strawberries.
Workout
1 - 6 1-minute sprints @ 7.5mph over 12 minutes.
These are getting easier and starting to feel less like sprints even as I slowly push the speed up.
2 - Super set: Pectoral flies (3 sets of 10 w/90lbs) and rear dorsal flies (3 sets of 10 w/90lbs)
3 - Front pull-downs (Sets of 10 @ 80, 90, and 100lbs)

5 - Row (3 sets of 10 w/70lbs)
