Yeah I know it. Its not a huge tournament anyways. I think payout is 300 bucks. But its only like 175 to get in. Paying out 3 places. I am pretty sure we are going to have another tournament at the end of the summer.

Rest of the day...

Lunch - 12:30 - spinach salad w/ grilled chicken
4pm - whey shake
7pm - mixed greens/spinach salad w/grilled shrimp, banana

"skipped" cardio at the gym with softball tonight. Good game all things considered. We won 16-5. I went 2-2, 1 walk, 2 R, tagged out at home in the first. (I swear I beat the tag, everyone else said I was out by a full step. Oh well.)

I can't use my Anderson in this league, so I went to someone else's bat, a 28oz. (Mine is a 29, the Mutant was a 27.) I could tell a difference in my swing and hit the ball better. I think I really need to get back to a 29oz, since that is what I have been swinging for a while and my swing just feels better with the extra weight. I'm going to see if Worth will replace my Mutant with a heavier version.

I called, and it was no problem. I have a 28 coming back. (It was that or a 30oz. They don't make a 29oz. Oh well.)

10:30 - whey shake, supps

The interview schedule for today's candidate got out of whack, which means I can't hit the gym on time. I'll have to try to slip out a smidge early and hit it on the way home, I guess.

Good golly! The program said to use 25% of 1RM. It seemed really light to me until about 60 seconds in. Tougher than it looks. Then I went home and cut the grass.

Hmm...well, for 8 weeks, I think 25lbs would be a good stretch goal. I've got enough BF that it should be reachable.

Thanks Billie!

BG - I only set that number because I know how my body reacts to a good cut program when I do the work. It's a very reachable goal without sacrificing lean mass.
