Easter and other stuff

Today is my favorite "holiday". I used quotes there because it is much more than just a holiday. Easter is the most meaningful day to me as a Christian. Without the resurrection, the virgin birth is just a odd mishap, Jesus was just some really nice guy walking around doing crazy things. To me the resurrection verifies everything else. It is the finally bullet point, which brings the whole story together. It makes me realize what one man had gone through for me, who is undeserving of anyones sacrifice, much less the sacrifice of a perfect being. This is truly a day to be thankful for! 

Now for the less important part of today, the weigh in. 270.4. I gained a little, no big deal. I am looking for a good weight lifting program to start on next week. I think I have found one, but it is a little advanced for me, but I have seen it work for a friend of mine. I think I will just adapt a little to simplify it for me for a week or two and build up to the actual program. In case anyone was wondering, it is Maximum Strength by Eric Cressey. It is basically a program to build strength for real world use, not body building. Also, I took pictures of myself now, and will take one every two weeks or so while lifting to see if there is any "improvements". 

So I have been going to the gym everyday. I love it. I started jogging a little more as well during my time. I can jog about half the time (around 15 mins) I'm on the treadmill now, which is way better than I thought I could do. After a week or two of lifting I will see about upping the time on the treadmill. 

Now I need to start working on my diet more, again. With the lifting and improved cardio, a better diet will definitely help my efforts. Looks like more grilled chicken for me. 

Happy Easter everyone!
