Hey I know skipping a day is normally reserved for events such as the walk of shame after a big night, but this time it's simply because I've got heaps on and I didn't get a moment.

One thing which is troubling, today at the gym I was doing my strength program, and I was holding a slow pushup and I felt a shooting pain in my shoulder - I waited a minute and tried a more gentle pushup and it came back again. Feeling a bit sore and sorry for myself this week. I ended up finishing the weights at that point and got on the bike instead for cardio as it seemed a safer option. I will have to be super careful as being too gung-ho will result in injury and then I will end up behind the 8 ball.

Also of note this week is that my weight has been rock steady all week, not going up or down be interested to see what happens on Monday's weigh in. Had a couple of heavier meals this week at dinnertime and that could have something to do with it. Definitely seeing improvements at the waistline, but dunno what's going on with the scales.

Weather still miserable, and going to the gym is still a really nice thing to do when the weather is shitty.
