Hey RobertW, how are things?
 

Let us know how you're doing when you get a chance!

Thanks for asking.

Diet-wise it has been going rather poorly, although I am trying to get back on track again this week. Probably more than half of those extra pounds are water, but that still leaves a good 10# of fat I have regained. I am back to logging everything I eat in on fitday, which should straighten me out. Somehow I can manage to feel like I am depriving myself and still gain a couple of pounds in a week, if I don't actually count the calories.

Not surprisingly lifting has been going pretty well, and I am approaching PR's in the overhead press (245# seated/235# standing) and I did set a personal record in the rack pull the other day getting 640# from a little above the knee.

My arms are also 1.25" bigger and actually look more muscular, even with the extra 10# or so of fat.

Nice to hear from you. I myself am finding it actually harder to stay on plan in the summer. I had grandiose ideas of time away from work, but the reality turned out to be a constantly changing schedule each day with running kids here and there and no time for my own stuff. I'm glad to hear you are back on plan & I'll go visit your fitday to try to find some inspiration for myself!
