  I'm a little jealous. I had a tooth pulled last thursday and it's not healing right. I had to go back yesterday and have it packed! Probably my prednisone. Anyway, I worked out sunday and monday, but not yesterday and probably not today either. I haven't had any solid food for 6 days! I have lost 7 pounds. I am trying not to go to the gym because of my lack of nutrition. I made a rockin smoothie this morning with like 50 grams of protein for breakfast and my lunch. So, overshare I realize but i'm a little stoned on pain meds and it probably isn't safe for me to try to bust ass on the ellip tonight!!lol :)

  Come on people! It's too quiet in here.
  
  Taking my off day today for many reasons. The main reason is that I've had a migraine all day and am really weak and uncoordinated still. The gym also has short hours Monday because of the holiday so Monday will be my off day for the coming week.
  
  I'll do upper body tomorrow and HIIT Sunday.

  So, I just did one set to failure today and increased some of the weights. It was showing. I'm going to stick with some of the increases, like bench. I also made some errors last time in the weight I used and realized it today.
  
  My HR monitor is working now. Scott had put the battery in upside down. At least he figured it out and we didn't have to send it away.
  
  Going to take my normal off day tomorrow and try to get to the gym on Monday. It's open until noon.
