A lot. I've always liked weightlifting in part because there's no coordination required or heavy breathing. The gym is doing a deadlift series, so yesterday was my first day on it, but their fourth week. It was fun to see what I could pick up.
The Festivus Games are the week before I fly to Ohio for a half marathon. I think I'd otherwise be pretty tempted.

I will be glad when it warms up a tad. Our gym owner is a bug runner and I feel we are heavier on the running (but maybe that just my perception)- but doing 200M sprints at 5 AM when there is still ice in the parking lot is a lot like what I imagine the Y-Wing Bombers felt like on the run to bomb the death star, one minute you are there and the next you are not!

I tried to spread my money around and not order something from amazon, and ordered directly from Rogue, holy shit by the time the knee sleeves get here my knee pain will be gone! - almost 2 weeks?

I need a beer.
Did you at least get free shipping?
I've been trying to get better at watching what I eat and started using MyFitnessPal again back in January. It's amazing how much your thoughts about food change when you start counting every calorie. It also makes it a lot easier to stop at just one glass of bourbon. Easier, but not impossible!

I had to grab an extra item to hit the free shipping minimum, which is F'n Ground - I think we are so used to being 4 miles away from a large amazon facility where sometimes that shit is there same day you order it.
We really like myfitnesspal also, I seem to log every other day, and If i forget to wear my garmin watch and dont get the workout credit calorie deduction mentally I feel less inclined to enter my food
& it sucks that it only tracks cardio and doesnt give you credit for weight lifting, so I just put my watch to cardio mode and then let it track the whole workout (warm up, strength training and the workout).
Have to brag on my wife, she did her very first "strict" pull up this morning. After 13 months of XF. She has been doing a bunch of supplemental work at home (we bought a pull up bar and some rings) and she was surprised this morning to pull one off! or up!

I thought I heard they cancelled the Arnold?
Well after 2 weeks I did finally get my 5mm knee sleeves...used them saturday for a half mile sled push - have to say they were pretty sweet... may also get a 3mm pair for running..

They completely cancelled the expo, and the competitions were closed to spectators - coaches, family, and workers only.
But, Rogue was the host/major sponsor for the entire strongman competition, and I think the powerlifting stuff too?

yeah but 2 weeks! geesh....
my eldest is home from college, he has defin put on some pounds, nothing crazy but none of his clothes fit very well - I try and use my BIL as an example of another computer programmer (since thats what he wants to do) who weighs 300 lbs and trying to get him to get a little exercise and not eat shit - its a tough lesson to instill apparently!
We had an extra spot in the Saturday class- he declined -
