Today was recovery.  Not from workout, unfortunately, but from a farewell party last night.  Ugh.

All will return to normal tomorrow.

i thought he did that!

Life changes in an instant, and unfortunately the stress of it all has made me terribly ill.  I'm having a really rough time keeping food down from it all.  I tried working out last Monday and puked in round 3 of 4.  I did hit a new back squat PR by 25 lbs (from 148 to 173).  Tuesday I got fed up with myself, got frustrated, ran out of steam, and had to walk out on a workout.  I've never walked out on a workout before.  EVER.  I was only able to pull my last weight on dead lift.  It's only the second time I haven't set a new PR for myself.  The last time I didn't set a new PR, I had gone 3 days in a row and was pretty overtrained.  I was going to work out today, but going in feeling queasy doesn't bode well, so I bailed.  I'll try again tomorrow.  I just want this feeling to go away.  I want to feel strong again.

hope you are feeling better soon ducatista

Wow, I took a week off from working out and I felt it Big Time today.      Did my usual BodyPump class at the Y, and I was getting shaky near the end.  It's amazing how soft ya get after just a few days off.

Still losing weight, though.  [that's a good thing]  Down to 214 now and feeling really good about it.  That's a reduction of 21 pounds in 10 months.

I'm 7 days into a 30 day Master Cleanse fast. Working out starts on day 10. yea

I am a regular at the "Northeast Family" Y in White Bear Lake - it's only about 2 miles away from my house.   I occasionally go the Woodbury location for classes or when Wifey and I want to swim with our kids.  They have a really nice zero-depth pool that's fun to play around in.   

I'm guessing that you work in downtown MPLS?  I've heard that the downtown Y is a nice facility (if a bit busy).

yeah, I work downtown. The Y is pretty busy down here, but it is spread out over 4 floors. The spinning class on Mon/Wed is usually full or just about full. Tues/Thurs has a waiting list. There are weights on floors 3 and 5. A lap pool on 3. THe Body pump and step classes are on 4,  free weights, machines, racquet ball, running track and spinning on 5, and I havent been up to 6 yet.
