135 lbs.

135 lbs. That's how much weight I wanted to be able to bench this month. I know it isn't that much. It looks a lot cooler because 135 lbs. means you add the big 45 pound weights on each side.

Well, I benched that!!! That was my goal for this month, and I totally rocked it! I benched 135 lbs., with 3 sets of 3.

Like I said in my post about the 180 Project, I am taking my goals and my dreams seriously. And I am just so excited that I accomplished one of them. And I had to share that with you. Not to brag, because the other guys at the gym, some are literally doing twice what I do, and then some. I am just telling you this because I am sharing with my friends how I took my goal seriously and I accomplished it. I have been working out consistently for the last month, biking, swimming, running, and lifting. And it's just great that I could accomplish my goal.

Now my dream is to bench 155 lbs., which is 15 lbs more than I way, and to swim 1000 yards. Right now I can only bench, obviously 135, and swim 600 yards, but I am getting closer. Like I said, I just wanted to share with my friends...I did it!!!

P.S. I also want to share with you...saw Contagion last night (Demitri Martin is in that movie-Awesome) and I thought it was great
