ooooh! Sweety!! (or is it sweaty? hahaha. You have been busting your buns. Lookin' good bytheway.)

I have been dealing with hayfever. The pollen here is so incredibly intense. Never had it before. The stress probably has something to do with it, I am sure.

I am feeling better. I am going to the gym tomorrow on a dry run, to see if I am up for it. I am holding my weight, but God!, what am I losing? Fat or muscle? I think maybe fat.

Om Shanti, see ya on the Yoga mat. Yea, that is what I am missing. We are all connected.

Still solid lifts there Rad. I'd say you're losing fat.

Good luck selling. I don't know what the markets like out where you are, but it is really soft here. Considering that I'm a buyer that's good news for me. It seems that certain properties are moving though despite the general trend. And that varies from market to market. Heck it's still going up in Seattle.

Good luck with it. If it were a couple thousand miles shorter commute, I'd have a look.

Glad to see you back up on your feet. I hope all goes well at the gym. I agree with Rasp....you must be losing fat. I think the body burns fat as fuel when we are fighting off infections (if I'm not mistaken)...so it's a good thing.

Wassup Radical... Hope the house selling is going good.. I'm sure u'll get yaself an offer soon...

Take it easy on ya way back to the gym... and don't let that stress get to ya... It can only affect you if you let it...

Thanks for the well wishes, everyone!

I am still energy difficient and it is easy to get breathless without much effort.

I did 15 minutes of ab crunches on the stability ball. These were done while holding continuous tension to the abs.

I then did 30 minutes on a max inclined treadmill. Today is massage day and tomorrow is upper body day. I am going to try doing an abreviated version of what I would normally do on Thursdays. There is still pollen in the air, but it doesn't seem to be as bad. I am hopeful.

Not bad on the DB bench. You gotta love those weak days when you can still lift.

Haha, you got that right. I couldn't do the volume that I normally do today, but the strength was still at 85% of max. o' course, I haven't picked up and put down 500 lbs even one time.

I use Omron's handheld fat monitor HBF-306. I think I paid $25 for it. I don't think any of these fat monitors are accurate, but this one does seem to track the direction and the amount of change correctly.
