The last couple of weeks have been bad from a fitness standpoint - I gained weight (and not from muscle), and I ate like a freakin' pig.

How's it going for you all?

I have been working on a job for my company that requires a ton of physical labor, as well as 12 hour days. I feel it in all my joints and muscles, but after a few weeks, I can tell I am starting to feel better, and I have lost a few pounds in the process.

I just hope when the project is over that I can retaim some momentum toward my fitness goals. Summer is here soon, and I would like to be able to take my shirt off without scaring anyone this year!

My sister in law was in the hospital/hospice for the last three weeks and so two or three evenings a week have been spent traveling an hour to be with her (my wife didn't like traveling alone). Thus gym time has been at a premium.

She died earlier this week and now that the funeral is done, we both can start getting back and working out.
