Being involved in business, I tend to think in terms of year over year comparisons. Well, with today there is no copmparison. It is always interesting when February 29 comes around. Today is no different.
As promised in yesterday's post, I got up and hit the gym this morning and had a killer workout (see log below). It felt liberating to overcome the toe pain and hit the weights. I have my gut to motivate me and it is a very large motivating factor — no pun intended.
I am very tired today so this is going to be all I post. My logs are looking good today.

The workout was awesome. I'm pushing weights I never thought I'd be able to push. The systematic method of adding weights or reps each time really seems to work for strength.
Until tomorrow…GET BACK TO LIFTING!
