Mass: 208.8 (-2.0)
Waist: 36.0 (-0.125)
Arm: 16.25 (--)
Thigh: 25.0 (--)
Calf: 15.0 (-0.25)
The lack of major waist change was probably due to a bit of bloat from last night (burger & fries).
I think I have determined that the real factor for my waist, even above diet, is doing sprints. Hill sprints seem to rip fat off of my waist. This past week I only did one session, and half-assed it. Hopefully the weather will continue to be nicer this week so I can run more.
My plan for workout location is to join the SAIC gym once I get back from CO in two weeks. I will be working really close to the corporate building, so hitting the gym after work will be easy and beneficial in two ways: 1) forces me to work out on a set schedule (and ensures I don't get distracted by stuff at the house); 2) lets me miss traffic on the way home. If I get to the gym at 5:30ish, then I will be able to warm up, lift, do brief cardio (treadmill sprints only take 10-15 minutes), and then leave at 7:00 or so. Which will let a lot of the traffic die down, shortening my commute.
This also dovetails nicely with my lifting cycles. My current 5/3/1 cycle will end next week (just before I head to CO). Then I can start a new cycle when I return. For lifting days, I will probably keep on the 4-day per week plan, and lift Mon, Tues, & Thurs at the gym. Deadlifts will be on Saturday at the house. Reasons for the funky schedule: 1) deadlifting heavy is best done where they don't care about noise; 2) Gives me Wednesdays for Buffy/mid-week relaxation; 3) On my 9/80 work schedule, I will only be in the office every other Friday, so scheduling a lifting day then would not work very well.
