Well guys, I finished week 4 finally.  Remember, I re-did the week due to a nasty stomach illness the week before.  This week, however, my 17 month old daughter caught a nasty cold, and my wife and I got it a day after.  So we’ve all been sick (and still are sick!).  That didn’t stop [...]

Working out after you haven’t for months is a physical drain.  For the next 2 days I couldn’t do push-ups.  No burning fat, no intense [...]
