- This is really the first time I've ever done press lockouts with the intent on using regularly afterwards. One triples felt like enough for the day. Third rep was tough and they feel very stressful overall.

Notes
BW 171. I lost about 5-lbs this week and with all the walking I've been doing, at least 5 miles a day, I expected as much. My strength is down a little too. All I can do is try to eat more calorically dense foods. Been hitting the Breyers ice cream twice a day, hitting up the diner for a double patty breakfast burger and fries before work. It aint cutting it. Might have to start drinking more milk or something.
Work itself was fairly uneventful the past couple of days. I've just been trying to fall into everyone else's routine. Locking gates at appropriate times. Patrolling certain sections of the park when people are likely to be breaking the rules. Learning security/radio codes etc. I already feel pretty comfortable in my position. Yesterday was especially awesome. I got to drive deep into the park (we patrol at least 23,000 acres) in the truck then foot patrol a very remote section by myself. It was a beautiful day. I cleaned up a ton of trash in some of the more beautiful sections which I think is important. Preserving the natural beauty and creating a pleasant experience for visitors, especially visitors dedicated enough to venture out that deep into the woods, is really gratifying for me. I told my wife the other night that I'm having trouble finding the words to describe how fulfilling and how happy this job makes me. I arrive to and leave from work with a huge smile on my face.
