I worked out yesterday for the first time in 3 weeks, due to the flu and its complications. I did no exercise at all and my body was starting to feel soft. Interesting how I was less concerned about losing weight from being sick than losing precious muscle!

My last workout was 2/25, Stage 2, B1 exercise.

So I started at the begining of Stage 2 again, using lower weights. (ugh, I had to use some silver weights, blech!)

Push ups were harder than before, but I did them, and I had to use considerably less weight in the front squat/push press (35 vs. the olympic bar)

I have lost a bit of strength but surprisingly enough I'm not sore today. My body says ha ha! just wait til tomorrow!
