Day #184 - Travel Series Part 13b

Today was a bad day for traveling. There were tornado warnings in Alabama this morning when I was flying out. It was raining the entire day in Alabama, in Charlotte for my connecting flight, and at home when I landed. And of course there was a lot of turbulence. But I kept myself busy trying to plan the next few steps for my big event in December. I kept on thinking about how happy I was going to be when I arrived home. I also kept on thinking about what I was going to do in the gym tonight for my workout routine. To make a long story short, I made it home safe and sound.

It felt great getting back into the gym tonight, to execute my weight lifting routine. The part I hate about traveling is that my daily routine can be disrupted some times because not every fitness center, in each hotel, has the equipment I use. But I still manage to make due with what I have. Anyway, getting back into the swing of things, on the weight lifting side, felt awesome. I was sweating up a storm today and I can really feel that I had a good workout tonight. And if I am sore in the morning, that only backs up the hard work that I put into it tonight.

I have been amazed with how my weight keeps on moving down, even though I had an up and down eating week. I mean I didn't over do it, but I still managed to put more food away than I normally tend to do. I guess the extra cardio workouts I had to do, when I didn't have weights, helped to keep my weight in check. The exciting part about this morning's weigh-in was that I was 223.8 lbs! This means I am getting closer to to accomplishing my next goal of making it to 222 lbs. That also means that when I reach this goal, I will have lost 80 lbs since the start of my mission! I am getting pumped up right now just thinking about.

Anyway, it is getting late and I have an important meeting in the morning to attend with my boss. Until tomorrow my friends, have a great night!

With that being said, let's get to the details of the day:
