Nothing today but walking and stretching. I've got a golfball-sized swelling coming out from under the outside of my kneecap. Nice. Still no big deal, just some time to let things settle down. I just find it incredibly fascinating to watch lumps and pains and whatever else move around and progress and improve after an injury. It's like free entertainment and I have a front row seat!

Really, there was nothing badass about it. I didn't do anything that messed with the hurt parts.

Don't feel bad about dips. Hyp II is the first NROL program that has them and I totally suck at them! I guess since its a bodyweight exercise using relatively small muscles, what did I expect?

Yeah, I know. I used to be so good at dips, though! I could really crank those suckers out without breaking a sweat. Something to work towards again, I guess.

Keep up the amazing work!!

Thanks, guys!!

I've only just started The Omnivore's Dilemma. I borrowed it from my son.

Then we're probably around the same place in the book. I usually read for hours and hours each night but, for the past month, I have just zonked out at bedtime and am lucky to get in one pathetic page each night before passing out. At this rate, I might finish it by the time I'm 80. LOL FYI if ya didn't know, he's got another book out to follow up on the first one, In Defense of Food. I've not yet read it -- just got it recently.
