Rise at 5:45, sitting and into work. Early e-mails and status updates, followed by the morning exercise routine:
Lower Body focus:
- Barbell deadlift, 3 sets @ 8 reps, 125#, 135#, 145# (finding a good weight to settle on for future workouts)
- Dumbell squats, 3 sets @ 8 reps, 70#, 80#, 80#
- Calf raises, 1 set @ 20 reps, 210# (machine)
- Leg curls, 1 set @ 15 reps, 130# (machine)
- Sit-ups, 2 sets @ 10 reps each side, knee raised, sit up to opposite knee
A bit much on the squats - on the last two reps, I got out of balance, let my back round, and my shoulders came in front of my knees, which triggered my back. A bit sore now, but directing in order to manage the soreness; the more out of alignment I am, the worse it is. Thus, AT saves the day, yet again.

Reviewing a Lean/Six Sigma presentation that our TDLP is putting together. Brian is really on the ball (all of these leadership program "students" have been outstanding), and I'm looking to leverage his experience and training in one of my projects. There are three key areas of process waste that Lean looks to address:
Mura - Inconsistency
Muri – Overburdening
Muda – Non-value adding
All seek to address items that are not necessary to the process or the customer. This originally came out of the manufacturing sector, but there are many other places we can apply the principles. So, for daily life, first: where are these three areas of waste, and second: what must be done to address them?

Home & completing the dishes, then out to Pho with the nephew & the Kalifornia Krew. Home to some prep for Wednesday dinner, practice, and then to bed.
