I thought my weight belt felt extra tight at the gym today but I ignored it. Then I got home and changed. This shirt and shorts were big and comfortable just a year ago. Not all of my clothes fit like this now but so many of them do. On the plus side, I get to buy some new tshirts!

Friday is brooding by the dandelions and Jack is eating a bumblebee.

Ten years ago, I celebrated my birthday using a walker. Yesterday, on the eve of my 45th, I squatted 300 lbs. Then I deadlifted 300 lbs right after. I have no plans of stopping or slowing, but it’s nice to pause on the journey every now and then and take in the view.

I lost a little over 10 pounds over the holidays. Gained it back in the last 10 weeks or so. Finally (finally!) broke through my bench press stall. I’m pushing 145 and climbing. Squat is up to 275 with deadlift. These shorts used to fit comfortably. I have to stand to wear them now.

Squat and Deadlift passed 1.25x my body weight. Feeling pretty strong today.

Squat: 220 Deadlift: 220 That’s +30 lbs in two weeks

Gear still fits!

PRs in squat and deadlift today (190). Still have a ways to go but I’m feeling pretty strong already.
