Day 62 – July 31
I seem to have injured my elbow during Tuesday’s beer-league softball game (although it’s been bothering me since spending some time at the batting cages over the past two weeks). Thankfully softball season is now over, but I think its best to lay off any attempt at working out the arms until the pain goes down. Will likely hit up some intervals on the treadmill tomorrow in the AM.

Sidenote:
Did not do a great job updating the past week or so.. Busy weekend and a day at the shore on Monday threw me off a bit from keeping the food logs, but have stayed pretty strong with only one cheat (A worthy cheesesteak from Steve’s Prince of Steaks!). Missed yesterday’s workout so hoping to hop back on the wagon today.

Sidenote:
At the halfway point in the contest, I must say I’m quite impressed with the results. Although measurements and the scale probably wouldn’t indicate much of a difference, I can certainly see one in the mirror. After one week on the TT for Abs I can already see a distinguishable difference, so I’m really looking forward to seeing what the next three weeks bring!
