Up at 4:30 AM. It was a cool 5 degrees out and waiting for the train, even for 6 minutes was painfully cold. (I tried to leave a few minutes later from home, but ended up hitting all of the green lights on the way to the metro station.)

My arms were pretty tired by the time I got to that third set of decline chest presses and so I was a little disappointed that I couldn’t do a full set. But I’m getting there.
Incidentally, I have achieved a record all-time high weight of 154 lbs! I have gained about 6 lbs in the last two weeks, thanks to the increased protein in my diet. However, it is a slim 154 lbs as my stomach continues to get flatter from the repeated crunches and no carbs for dinner routine. Most of the mass that I have added is muscle mass and I am pleased with that.
Next workout: cardio tomorrow morning.
