I got back from vacation on Sunday morning at around 1 am. That was a looonnggg distance to travel with a 14 month old. It ended up being about 17 hours each way, but the little man had an absolute blast, as did my wife and I.
Weighed 193 today, so I lost just about a pound over the week. I’m feeling the leanest I’ve been in a very long time, and looking that way too.
Skin is feeling tighter, and I need to pop a new hole in my belt.
Worked today, and I’ll be back to the lifting grind tomorrow after work.
Edit: a few more things to add…
My condition tonight-
And I have decided to take an extended break from alcohol. I don’t have a time frame, and I don’t have a real reason why but after 2 weeks on call and 2 days of having beers on vacation, I decided I just didn’t want to drink the rest of the time.

Not ready to jump back in 4x a week. Choosing bastardized GMM as a space filler until I can get my shit sorted on the diet and training consistency front. Weighed 191.3 today. Need to eat more.

@raven78 @creative_name thanks!
I don’t know why I didn’t start buying energy drinks off of amazon sooner. I’d be rich.

Ain’t that the truth.
I am slowly but surely working through my vices and getting rid of them one by one.

@T3hPwnisher thanks man, feeling good about the position I’m in to hopefully add some mass once time/finances allow.
