I didn’t sleep much last night.  I went to bed late and kept waking up.  I think I’m a bit nervous about closing on our new house later this week.  There may be other reasons as well, but the bottom line is that I didn’t get up and swim this morning.  That means I either swim or lift weights at lunch.

Alex has decided he doesn’t want to swim anymore.  The chlorine isn’t doing great things for him.

We decided we would do our regular Monday workout — Chest. When we got to the gym, Kyle was already dressed and starting his chest workout.  Unfortunately, right about that time, I realized I hadn’t brought my workout clothes, just my swim stuff.  Alex was still convinced that he didn’t want to swim, so we cruised past my apartment and picked up my workout clothes.  Kyle was mostly finished by the time we got back to the gym, but we still pestered him a bit.  Joey’s wife was also at the gym, but we didn’t see her until we were just about finished ourselves.

The nice thing about today’s workout is that I saw my strength returning.  It took a long time to build it up the first time, then it went away quickly, but it seems to be returning just as quickly.  Now if I can just figure out how to stop the weight gain and turn it into weight loss again.
