     I don't know exactly what the hell happened, but I had more energy at the gym today than I've had in a very long time. I was a little worried about the squats. My left knee has been wicked stiff due to me standing in the kitchen for hours on end over the past 2 days, and I still had some lingering SI joint pain.  But I got under that bar and those friggin squats were smooth as silk. I don't know if the Christmas ham or the lasagna is to blame but I don't really care. I may have accidentally stumbled onto something here. I had zero knee pain, zero back pain and absolutely zero fatigue. I mean, I'm tired now just from lifting, but not that bone deep tired that I usually am. It feels really good. I'm coining a new phrase  - "Ham Bone makes the Muscle Tone". That's mine, don't steal it. I'm making shirts if anybody wants one, I'll enlist AI to help me out. 

     Any way, I'm chillin' now; having tea and treats, with not a care in the world. Pain free makes a girl happy. I think the only day that will get screwed up next week is Thursday. That puts us officially past all of these holidays. Hopefully the gym won't be too crazy with all the "Resolutionists". This will be my first year dealing with it at a commercial gym. I wish them all luck.
