Keep Active, Play Catch

Current Weight: 227lbs
Body Fat: 40.2%

Today we went to Phoenix to visit my step-mother and my sister visiting from Arkansas. I took the kids to the greenway by her house and we played catch. It was a nice day and we had a great time. While I don't expect to burn tons of calories this way, being active is far better then being sedentary.

My Personal Trainer

Current Weight: 224 lbs
Body Fat: 40.5%

After doing my wife's workout, I had some serious Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) in my quadriceps. The workout didn't feel too hard, but I sure feel it today.

So I went to the personal trainer myself to get a workout geared toward my needs: weight loss and upper body strength. We didn't do a full workout today, but did some test exercises to verify I had proper form and knew how to perform the exercises. I performed so many different exercises, for most I don't remember the weight or the repetitions.
