Still Surviving

     Day 4 of 21. The pain is easing up; a little. Moving is actually keeping me from locking up totally, so that's one reason why I don't want to quit. It's starting to subside though, so that's good. I kept away from the squats again today. Instead of the squats, I did some gorilla rows. If you're unfamiliar with them, here's a page from T-Nation to give you some info on them. While they're great for the back, they also recruit your legs quite a bit.

     Here's the stats for tonight:

START TIME - 4:17pm

END TIME - 5:58pm

20lb KB (15 swings, 5 presses each side, 5 gorilla rows each side) 20x

     I'm starting to feel really good with the 20lb bell and I'm torn between wanting to do at least part of the session with the 35lb. I may force myself to finish the first week with the small bell and then weave the 35lb bell back in on the second week. 

     I don't have a specific recipe tonight. I have just have a favorite go-to meal for our family. Aldi's has a Mediterranean Herbed Salmon that is DECLICIOUS! We have it with some roasted asparagus and rice and everyone leaves the table satisfied. Find the salmon here. 

     Glad I did it, but also glad it's over. 17 more days to go.
