Weight loss continues. Happy to just be able to repeat last weeks set of 4 at 272.5. I thought about going for the 5th rep, but I think I had a < 50% chance of getting it - and even if I did, it would've been an epic grind. Just wasn't worth it in the context of weight loss.
I've switched to my son's single ply, 3" belt. My 4" belt, when tightened appropriately around my less expansive waist, now sticks into my lower rib cage and doesn't seem to offer as much support. I now understand why my son doesn't like using my 4" belt.
Down about 10 - 12 lbs and a belt loop. My 36" pants are feeling loose. So, I got that going for me. Also noticed my BP is down a bit. Now, it is almost always < 120/80.
