Really well! I keep doing better each week on the lifts, and while my overall weight isn't rising (and has, in fact, fallen since last week), I'm beginning to at least believe I see a difference in the upper body . . . I guess I'm re-comping.

The work feels great, I'm pounding down the food, and life is good!

I still get exceedingly frustrated with my job -- the director who promised me a raise this month got removed from the department and they still want me to do more, but at least we've finally hired an assistant for me and he starts the 10th.

I'm still looking for work out of the L.A./Inland Empire area . . . or at least closer to a better gym <grin>!

Nope. I'm in Ontario, CALIFORNIA, about 40 miles east of downtown Los Angeles. I -do- get to visit places like Muscle Beach (next week, actually), and Golds Venice, occasionally, but I'm really tired of the traffic and the housing prices.

I'd really miss all the SoCal Animal bros, but I need a better job, and I'm not finding it here.
