I feel a lot better today than I have all week. I celebrated by going to the gym tonight. I was tired, and had to take longer breaks than usual between sets, but boy oh boy, did I ever see improvements, anyhow! Straight-armed side planks are no longer killer. That means I need to step them up. Next time, I'll do side planks in a star position, with my top leg raised. My reverse grip dumbbell bicep curls have improved, too. I went from 20 to 30 lbs. It's hard as hell, but definitely doable for all three sets. I could never have done that, before. My hard work is paying off. My calf raises have gone up to a whopping 380 lbs, and I want to bring that to 400 within the next month. I think I can do it.
I started doing bentover barbell rows, and they are brutal. But watching my form in the mirror gave me the kick in the pants to finish the set. My lats pop while I'm doing them.
I am getting stronger and losing weight all at the same time. I guess I'm burning off fat and building muscle at the same time. I think that's pretty awesome.
Right now, I'm chowing down on some roast beef, sweet potatoes, and onion. I put them on to cook while I was at the gym, and it is fucking delicious, let me tell you....
I might not have a job yet, but I'm kicking ass, and that counts for something.
