Rest week

Took the week off from the gym.  Too much trouble trying to juggle holiday work schedule, holidays themselves, and time with the barbell.  I'll be taking this week off as well.  I'd planned to just take this week off, but an extended break won't kill me, and I've got a pretty bad cold right now in any event.

Weight (today): 168 lb

Notes: Not a bad week.  Went with a split because I knew I'd be short on time, and I wanted to see where my lifts are before I take a week off in January and consider changing the program.  Weight's up a little, but I'm going to blame that on a gluten and sugar dose over the weekend that I couldn't avoid without being very rude.  Hopefully I'll recover by the new year.
