Just poking my head in to say hello and give a status report.

I won't be on fatsecret at all this weekend, nor will I be following my normal daily routine when it comes to my diet.

I'm off to the white mountains for 3 days. My wife's best friend is getting married, so we are going up for that as well as some much needed R&R from the crazy life that we have been living over the past year. Work-eat-gym-sleep repeat. Day after day after day.

I say that I'm getting away from it, but I decided that the very expensive inn that we are staying at all weekend is worth it for two reasons:

1. Jacuzzi hot tub in every room
2. Private gym fully stocked with all the benches, racks, barbells, and dumbbells that I will need to STILL do my workouts- am I sick or what?


I promise I will remain mindful of what goes into my mouth still, but I won't be counting calories or macros for 3 days, I'm on a clean bulk right now anyway, so the calories dont matter too much.
