We Didn't Skip It

     We didn't get to the gym this weekend because we were busy moving furniture. Trying to empty a house is no small feat. Today was a must for us, and it was leg day! Here's what got done:

     I really wanted to do the back squats tonight. The weight was pitiful, but it felt good to be doing them again. A little disappointed that I couldn't get much even at only 95lbs, but I can't say that I'm totally surprised. I'll be back in that rack again next week. I know I'll be able to complete the full 3 sets of 5, then we can add a little bit more. 

     My left knee seems to be the problem child right now. It's the one that's swollen everyday, and the one that's first to give pain. It's funny because the right knee used to be the more painful one. I know the braces are helping, but I hope that I can work my way out of using them.

     I'm sore right now and tired and very hungry. It's dinner time and then I've earned 2 cookies for dessert.
