A new record

I woke up early, drove to my parents house to get something for my sister, drove back to Lowell, dropped off the thing at the factory (the nickname for the building my family's business runs out of), gave Sid a laptop and Cisco console cable to complete a work order, and then rushed to catch the 10:07 train only to find out they changed the departure time to 10:15.

In Boston, I had to meet one of my consulting clients (who's also located on Massachusetts Ave, a 10 minute walk from Porter Square, two subway stops from my usual stop in Central Square). I had never got off that stop before and I was amazed at the 100+ steps to get to street level. As drones of people opted for the escalator ride to the top, I didn’t think twice about taking the stairs. I still beat everyone to the top!

I came home on the 6:25 train, by 7:45 I was running on the treadmill at the factory. I set a new record for myself. 12 minutes, 1.5 miles. That's an 8 minute mile! After doing a bunch of abdominal workouts, I ran for a total of 16 minutes, totaling 2 miles.

April 1st: 171 LBS, 17.5% body fat.
April 25th: 169.5 LBS, 13.5 % body fat!

That means I lost 7 LBS of fat and packed on 5.5 LBS of muscle in 25 days! Woohoo!

I have been extremely consistent with my workouts and my diet. I am going to continue being as consistent so I can finally achieve those washboard abs and be in the best physical condition of my life (and maintain that condition for the rest of my life!). : )
