Day 24 - sore but good

Day 24 down and going good but must say I have constant soreness all around - which is just the post work out feeling. It's good and hopefully having some effect.

Today's workout was a challenge. Pull-ups - hooray: I could do three.. then my sorry sparrow back muscles screamed with pain and gave in. Hung there trying for another but nothing was going to move my fridge like body up to that pole. Went and did 4 sets of incline pull-ups in place. Sore though - so hopefully there is some muscle being built back there.

Have a new resistance band which is causing havoc. Do people cut their bands if they are too long? Right now hesitating in case I want to double the bands for double the resitance. 

All exercises were great, if not difficult. The shoulder press burned and was a little difficult to do but all good.

I now have a better idea of why the "plank" was so detested during pirate times. Oh my - I kept my hands and forearms loose and good but my mid-section was quiviering to this new sense of pain. I did all three sets and let the last one go over a little to extend the burn but - wow, ouch is the word.

This photo is especially for Peter. This was my breakfast which was actually pretty good. On a trip to NYC I went to a fancy place for breakfast and had scrambled eggs which had basil in them.
I did the same here in an omelette on rye bread and pan fried (water no oil) mushrooms and parsely- heaps of pepper.  For the eggs, I use a very small fry-pan. Non-stick and as large to hold one egg. I put a smidgen of olive oil and then heat up until it is red hot, drop in a chopped galic clove and then the egg on top once garlic is browned. Cover it with fresh cracked pepper as it is cooking. Pretty good - even for this fussy eater.

Day 24... so so long to go but good. Yippie kai yay!
