NOOOOO!!!! DON'T STOP THERE!!!!

I've been struggling to lose, partly because I've had to drop deadlifts and squats, which I have a love/hate relationship with. I've had to restrict calories to compensate. (I hate restricting calories that much!)

So why no squats or deadlifts? Saw the doctor and... I have a stress fracture in a toe. Orthotics and "Ugly shoes" are the order of the day. Get them next Monday, another 500 km round trip again next week. I picked up a double end bag, a couple of medicine balls for explosive motions, and a pair of MMA style gloves. That will have to replace the leg work for the time being for calorie wreckage. I may check into the local gym since I have to forgo squats and deads until the fracture is healed. Maybe they have a leg bicep/extension machine that will fit the bill for the time being. Otherwise, upper body work only.

200.2 lb Lost so far: 0 lb.    Still to go: 8.2 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.
