Same with the belly, I feel you! I've been seeing some (good) upper body gains and people at work have commented that I'm toning up.

Good work getting it in where you can while your son is in class. You could easily sit under a tree and listen to a podcast or something.

As much as I'm active I should be a monster...but food and likka.

I generally eat pretty well during the week, Chicken, rice and veggies for dinner but then some nights I get an itching for a second dinner and whip up a quesadilla or nachos. lol

And I do like some sweets after dinner but I'm getting better about that.

Routine is basically...

1. Bootcamp/Crossfit class 4 times a week

2. Swim 1mi @ lunch break twice a week, and on weekends if I'm visiting fam I can get in a 2mi swim in the Long Beach bay but that hasn't been often at all this year.

3. Run 10-12 mi a week (this is where I need to step up and notice the belly disappear slowly, I used to be closer to 20mi a week and I'm about 20lbs heavy right now)

4. Walk the dog a few miles when I can

Once or twice a year I do this 2 week or so battle rope program that culminates in you working the ropes for 20mins straight. I need to jump back on that.
