Update on What's Going On

It's absolutely astonishing how much work it takes to maintain a blog. I have been really busy with my three classes but they are coming to an end. I'm going to try and maintain my promise to update this frequently (everyday was/is the goal) and not become a once-a-week kind of guy. I will update the empty posts as soon as I can and fill in all the information.

As far as the progress goes, I think I've come pretty far. Despite this, I feel that I'd be farther along if I were getting more sleep. The maximum amount of sleep I can get in a night while still performing all of the tasks I need to do throughout the day is about 8 hours. Since it takes me a good thirty minutes to an hour to fall asleep, this number is generally closer to 7 and sometimes even 6. I take a nap after school but this isn't sufficient as it's not REM sleep. I'm quite confident that the progress will be accelerated when classes finish and I start sleeping between 9 and 10 hours per night. It'll be refreshing.

I've managed to get sick for the past two weekends. It takes me two to three days to get over these little colds but they negatively impact my workout and leave me fatigued for the larger portion of the day. I think I've narrowed the source of these sicknesses down to 24hr fitness, as they don't clean any of the machines and the entire place is a dump. I try to keep my hands away from my face but I'll occasionally slip and itch my nose or mouth, thereby giving myself a cold. I do not recommend going to the Hillsdale location. I will be ending my membership there in a couple weeks when my lifting buddy Jordan F. heads back to college.

Well, it wouldn't be a problem if I had a better immune system. I think my immune system has been on hiatus for the latter part of my life.

Oh, in recent news, I BENCHED 315 lbs. AT A BODYWEIGHT OF 155 LBS!
