Exhausted this morning. Got 3 or 4 hours of sleep all broken up. Wanted to do more but the feeling of exhaustion was too much. I just hit a point where I didn’t feel good and needed to leave.

• 500m row
• 50 GHD
• 50 GHBE (25#)
• Dead lift protocol (315#, 365#, 395#)
• Front Squat Negative @ 135#: 12 reps
• Dip Negative @ BW: 11 reps

I had V take some “after” pics of me yesterday to compare against the one that I took on Sept. 3rd before starting the AdvoCare 24 day money loan. I am hesitant to post them here because I am still, for the most part, grossly unhappy about my appearance. With that said though, I am extremely happy with the progress that I am seeing and will continue until I can get actual “after” pictures that mean something more. These current “after” pictures should be called “progress” pictures.

Validation that you are going down the right path and that what you are doing is working is ALWAYS nice.

My parents will be here tonight and are staying for a little over a week. I am really excited to see them again. I really hope that by this time next year, we are all together. It’s been so long since I have had regular family around (aside from my grandmother).
