Today is supposed to be a Hurricane day.

You know, with tire flips and kettlebell swings and the like. But since I’m testing on Sunday I’ve altered my workout schedule a little.

Instead, today I’m gonna do my lower body workout of squats and deadlifts and take Saturday off so I can rest up and be fresh for the tests.

I’m also making today another honorary high-carb day. I only have three more days to make it to 190 and I’m so close. I need to do everything I can to make it.

Maybe I won’t shit for the next few days and see if that helps.

(Kidding.)

Three days left.

Other highlights from Day 25

Discovering it’s easier to eat 1.5 pounds of steak than any other kind of meat. I have no idea why that is, but I wish I would have figured that out a few weeks ago.
