Was a lot of fun. Normally I get stressed out working out with him because he is a real stickler about my form. I try to have good technique (and I have naturally pretty good technique on the more complicated lifts), but I'm not as obsessed with being perfect, since I think it's really hard to make strength gains without occasional imperfections in technique.

CourtnieMarie Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Lol! Sounds like you had a great weekend! Im glad you rested and then had a killer workout! Your foods also look delicious i had to get used to eating more when i started leaning more on macros and less on paleo - especially carbs. I mean, i love my sweet potatoes but e'ryday? Sigh, i need variety!

Crooked Posted January 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Today was necessarily another rest day because now it's my knee that is tweaky. Took a bath earlier and I'm hoping that helps. Yay for unidentified body ailments. Was feeling SUPER headachey and exhausted earlier, to the point where I needed to nap for an hour and a half, which I NEVER do. I was worried I was getting a bug of some sort. Then I remembered I've only had a TINY cup of coffee today, and I usually need a minimum of 16 ounces to be functional. It's obviously too late to have some caffeine, so I'm just going to suck it up for a few more hours and try to get a bunch of sleep. Hope the sucky feeling clears up tomorrow.

Crooked Posted January 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 I'm a little confused about the timing on this mini-challenge versus the new ones. Should I keep this up for the remainder of the week or switch over to the real deal? What's the general consensus? Quote Comeback Challenge Link to comment

Lesson learned: Don't say "obviously" about something that isn't obvious.I have a self-imposed cut-off of 5 p.m. for drinking coffee. I try not to let my caffeine intake interfere with my sleep. Five is an arbitrary time, but I figure any later and I'll still be wired by bedtime. Quote Comeback Challenge Link to comment
