Just a simple workout today--no band work or anything like that. It's been a very busy past couple of months and most days during the week it was hard enough even getting to the gym, let alone getting a good workout in. But now the kids are out of school and their spring sports are winding down (baseball, softball, dance, and volleyball--all three girls doing at least two of those things...which meant there was a game or event pretty much ever night, 7 days a week), so things should be slowing down and I can get back to work again.
My diet has been on point, that's never really a problem for me, but I've been lucky if I can get to the gym 4 times a week for the past month...and just about every workout is rushed to get in before racing to one of the kid's games or way too late in the evening after a game is over, so not many of the workouts have been worth writing about.
I haven't weighed myself in a month or more, but I'm guessing I'm in the high 260s or low 270s. I've still been dieting despite changing my mind on doing a bbing show this summer so I'm quite a bit leaner than I had been this winter. I always felt my best on squats and deadlifts when I was a little leaner, so I think I plan to stay that way for a while.
