from 333 pounds working on getting thin. Middle aged mans journey.

  To many free days and meals. One HUGE carnivor's party. (Pig roast). and some suspected water regaining. Not a big issue. Changing back to a 3 day weekly workout with weights. Monday:  Chest, shoulders and tricepts. Tue: Legs Wed: back and biceps and forearms. This is really funny. I did a late night run to our local store.
