Every word you have typed (especially the name of this log) just cracks me up. LOVE the quick wit and enjoy reading your recollections described with such flair.
I hope your medium-well hand heals quickly, and way to Woman Up and workout despite the injury! Fierce!!
Thanks for posting on my thread, I do love it when entertaining people pop in unexpectedly, you're welcome back any 'ol time.
I was reading your protein quest and didn't fully scour all of the replies (due to the fact that I'm on my 3rd cup of nitrogen-strength coffee, but I digress. . . .) and have had a hard time finding something palatable myself. I'm not too finicky about sweeteners, what gets up in my crawl are the powders that won't break down even if you were to put them inside a paint shaker! Of course trying to find one that doesn't taste like sweaty ape on a hot day can be a challenge too. To me, the better tasting and easier-to-mix proteins have been soy proteins, but with that comes a loss of protein grams per serving. To hell with powders--keep some elk in the backyard and anytime you need protein, just wander out back and take a bite out of a beefy hip. By the time you spend all the money trying to find the right powder, the elk would probably be a thriftier deal!
Stick with the push-ups--you're doing great! I think push-ups are one of the hardest things to master doing easily. They have been the bane of my existence and only through sheer hell and daily torture have they now become groan-inducing versus me being balled up in the corner sobbing.
