    I did enough drinking in my 20's to last the rest of my life, so I've almost given it up entirely. I'll have a drink or two in certain social settings but that's about it. So, no sobering up needed!

    I'm also on a kick to try and eat more organic foods and damn is it expensive! So far I've converted my milk, butter, coffee, eggs, and most fruits and veggies over to organic. Supplementing that with mostly venison and elk meat and I'm doing pretty well. But every time I want to buy organic chicken my bank account starts crying and I just can't bring myself to do it.

    Thinking about getting another freezer and buying local chicken and beef in bulk to save some money.

    Now I just need to find organic Oreos and I'll be set.

    That’s great. Your boys will get off to a good start having that equipment and your insight and experience to guide them.

    Yesterday, I had my 13 year old do a deadlift, back squat, barbell lunge and farmer’s walk workout. Everything thing was 75-80% of his 1 rep max for 8-12 reps. The athletics program at school had him start lifting last year.

    My middle son started lifting this year, so I did 1 rep max testing with him on deadlift, back squat and overhead press.

    Took it easy with some simple, light workouts last week with making a change in programming starting today. With the addition of the home gym, I am starting to do my heavier lifts at home and focus more on conditioning during my lunch break workouts.

    Landmine Single arm alternating press w/rotation 4 x 8 per arm @65lbs
    Strict Overhead Press 4 x 8 @110lbs

    30 min Lunch Break:
    Treadmill Sprints @10% incline 10sec on/ 50 sec rest @ 10.3, 10.3, 10.5, 10.5, 10.7, 10.7, 11, 11, 11, 11 mph

    Nice start to the week!

    I was running a little late so I cut my usual 60-70 min workout down to 50-ish this morning. 5 min stretching, 30 min stairs / 226 flights, single leg presses and calf raises was all I squeezed in after that.

    Tomorrow and Weds may both be home workout days. I'm thinking I'll do a spin class tomorrow morning and kettlebells on Weds.
