Six years ago I married my sweet wife, ever since then I have steadily gotten fatter! At the beginning of the year I decided to join the New Year’s resolution crew and lose weight. Even since then, I have dedicated myself to attend the gym on a consistent basis. I get up every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning around 7:00 am and perform High Intensity Interval Training (H.I.I.T.) I lift weights every Monday, Wednesday and Friday in the afternoon.

On Monday, my lifting routine focuses on my chest and back. I begin by bench-pressing on a machine and follow it immediately with lat pull-downs. My second major lift is on the incline press followed by close-grip seated rows. I then proceed to the assisted chin-up machine. After three sets of chin-ups, I finished out my workout on the fly machine to blast my pectorals.

An example of a bench-press can be found at this site: bench-press

In approximately 55 days my family and I will be headed to Houston for the summer. Last September I accepted an internship with a construction company called HOAR. They are a commercial builder in the greater Houston area. Their corporate office is located in Birmingham, Alabama. For 2014, they were ranked number 149 on ENR top 400 construction management firms. That same year, they recorded around $407.6 million dollars of revenue. I recently found out that I would be assigned to the hotel Alessandra. The project is located at 1070 Dallas Street Houston, Texas 77002. It has a total of 21 stories and is a 225-room luxury hotel. The hotel is slated to debut in late 2016.
