Oh, and welcome back!!

I am really touched by the support of all of you guys and it is just so wonderful to be among people who can understand the whole "process". I think I had to hit some personal lows to really appreciate what I was doing for myself. I'm once again reminded what a large part emotions play into all of this!

I have to throw up some new personal bests that I hit last week:
HIIT Cardio-12 intervals at 10mph, 10% incline, 30 secs. work, 50 secs. recovery.
Bicep Curls-5 reps. with 25 lb. db's, raising for 5 seconds, lowering for 7 seconds. (I actually did 6, but the 6th was total shit as my muscle fibers were hovering the fine line of snapping in half.)

Yesterday, I did those awful box squats that Ginger described in her log and can barely hobble around today! My thighs feel like victims of a Singapore prison caning. I literally had to grab the tops of my pants to move my foot back and forth from my gas pedal and brake on my way to work this morning. Utter, utter cruelty.
