I hate to toot my own horn (not really, but I'm supposed to say that) (yes that is an intentional and accurate double-entendre) but I just had the most amazing gym workout! I woke up a little kinda feeling last nights libations, and after finishing my night with a solo nightcap and gaming - I was not sure I would be bouncing out of bed. It didn't matter - I had all day to be hung over if need be, but slowly I found myself not really feeling it (not 100%, but not in pain). So I went to the gym.

Ok, the one drawback is my bench remains static. I had the sense and unusual initiative to interrupt someone's ipod to ask for a spot - good thing, because I didn't quite get 3 lifts off of 185 (it was my third set, I did 2 of 2, then wanted to see if I actually had the 3 or not). That's a long way from 225, my silly goal. Shortly after that I ran into a guy I know from the USDA and that gym, and he noted I was looking bigger!? I thought I might look bigger, but I mainly thought it was because I was wearing smaller shirts. Well that affirmation / ego boost had me revved, and for some reason everything else I did today was spot on. My form was good, my energy was good, I pushed into and past pain in many areas. Now I have nothing I haven't torn up - I can hardly move, but I look and feel fanfuckingtastic.

Funny part is I'm about 2-3 lbs heavier than my target weight, and you can definitely see that around my belly. Problem is - if I get bigger, how do I tell what weight I should shoot for? I think I'll get some gut calipers...

But wow. I. Feel. So. Good.
