			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was right at 255 this morning.  My weight-loss seems like it has stagnated.  Therefore, I&#8217;m changing some things up.</p>
<p>First and foremost, I&#8217;ve changed my workout.  I never told what my old one was, so there will be no basis for comparison, but my new workout is available in an easily linkable <a title="Stronglifts.com Beginner 5x5" href="http://stronglifts.com/files/stronglifts-5x5.pdf" target="_self">ebook</a>, which is VERY convenient.  Feel free to check it out and use it.  I tried it yesterday for the first time, and my ass is a little kicked.</p>
<p>I switched for a couple of reasons.  I like the whole-body focus.  I want to work my whole body every time I get into the gym.  I really love squats, and I want to start working on my back more.  Fortunately, this workout includes a lot of back exercises.  I also like the simplicity.  A and B &#8212; that&#8217;s it.  The weight is increased at a very easy-to-figure-out schedule, very methodical.  I dig it.</p>
<p>The other thing I&#8217;ve started doing is rock-climbing.  Our gym has the tallest indoor rock wall in Texas.  I&#8217;ve yet to reach the top, but every time I try, I get a little closer, which is exciting.  I&#8217;m heading out to <a href="http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/spdest/findadest/parks/hueco_tanks/" target="_self">Hueco Tanks State Park</a> for spring break.  A week of camping and rock-climbing.  I don&#8217;t know what the hell I&#8217;ve gotten myself into, but I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;ll be fun.</p>
