According to my post-workout weigh-in, I’ve lost 5 pounds in the last 2 weeks. As of now, I’ve officially shed my holiday weight gain.

You know, last weekend I stayed in because I was feeling lazy. This weekend I couldn’t move, thanks to the Nyquil and the flu. If I’m going to keep playing video games during these ultra-lovely spring weekends, I’m not going to deserve them anymore. Luckily, I’m feeling about 80% better today. I tried going out [...]
