3/29 - 4/4

Quick update on the workouts since I've been busy with personal affairs and a busy first week back at Drexel. Weight as of today was 159.8, and at the leanest I've ever been. Started off routine B pretty well today and am really happy with the changes I've seen over the past week or so. Changes to the diet have been factored in, and felt a little more energetic in the gym. Starting to hit that point where exhaustion subsides because of excitement about the show. Feeling good and looking forward to bringing it in a few weeks.
