It's your muscle building coach Lee Hayward here, and I hope you had a good Christmas holiday.
We had a good Christmas here at the Hayward house, but it was a little bit rough because my 3 year old son Harvey was sick over the holidays with a bad cough, snotty nose, throwing up, etc. But thankfully he's on the mend and feeling much better today.
Yesterday I had my first workout back to the gym after Christmas and it felt good to be back to my routine.
I have to admit that I wasn't perfect over the holidays. I skipped workouts, ate too much, enjoyed desserts, fatty foods, etc... And as a result, I put on a few unwanted pounds over the holidays :-(
Over the past couple months my bodyweight was in the low 190's, now after Christmas I'm in the high 190's, so I've gained about 5 pounds.
However, despite this minor set back - I'm still much leaner and further ahead than I was just a couple years ago when I let myself get fat and was tipping the scale at 220+ pounds with a 40+ inch waistline.
The selfie pic below was taken yesterday weighing 198 pounds.
