Day 162: Restarted the workout and a visit...

But not in that order. I went over to see my friend today to borrow some luggage for my trip this weekend and we had a nice, if altogether too brief of a visit. When I got up close to her, I could really see the difference her weight loss has made. She might not have lost a lot of weight, but I could see the difference in her face and body. She was a little down that "the girls" have gotten smaller. She's down from a G cup to a triple D. My reaction was, "They're still big and do you know how many women would spend a fortune getting their girls to that size?" When we got the luggage, she mentioned how excited I looked to be going out on this trip. Then she asked me if was really happy (which told me she's reading the blog) and I was able to say with absolute truth that I am happy. Mind you, I still want her back, but I'm happy right now as things stand. When I had to leave because I had to get to work (damn it) and we hugged, again she held on for a long while and we both had an NSV when we hugged because I was able to get my arms all the way around her and cross my hands to either side of her back. We've both lost enough weight to let that happen and we both realized it at the same time.

When I got home, I walked my daughter up to the big pool so she could go swim with her friends while I went and worked out. I did my 35 minutes on the treadmill and then did a set on the machines. I'm trying to build up my triceps a bit, so I focused on the tricep pulldowns and set the weight at 50 lbs and really got a burn going in my arms and shoulders. I did 4 sets of 10 each and I definitely need to build up the tri's to try to fill in those batwings on my arms. The rest of it will do its job as well.

On a bright note, my clothes for the Reunion will be here tomorrow and I'll be ready to go when I go to bed Thursday night so all I'll have to do Friday is get up, go to work and then drive to Bakersfield in the afternoon. I'll be meeting up with my bro and his current girlfriend Friday night, going to see my sister Saturday morning, and then the reunion Saturday night. It's going to be a fun weekend!

Adios!
