Not much change up or down today, and we slipped a day, but I had an exhausting weekend with the deployment of a new server at my office, and was still "digging out" from that on Tuesday. Dana keeps having to tell me to hold my arms our further on the flies, so I'm thinking of dropping it down to level 5 again and working on form, next time.

FYI, this website and our parent site, HoldTheToast, will be "going black" on Wednesday, January 18th, in protest of the proposed internet censorship legislation being considered by Congress this week. More information about the strike, including a list of participating websites (Google, Wikipedia, Reddit, icanhazcheezburger, and many, many more) is available at the Strike Against SOPA website. More information about the House and Senate bills, and how they would "break the internet", is available here, along with a form you can use to send a message to your Congresspersons and Senators, urging them to vote against this legislation.

This fignt is non-partisan. This would affect everyone who uses the internet for any purpose whatsoever. If you operate a website, please consider joining this strike. There are plugins available for Drupal and WordPress that will blackout your site all day on the 18th, returning it to normal after the event.

We tried something new this time, and did our workout late morning, instead of in the afternoon as we usually do. I had kind of a break even day, and I wonder if it might have been better if I had eaten an hour or so beforehand. Dana did eat breakfast, and had a great day. (Need to get her posting here again!) I think we could do this more often, and I will definitely try eating before working out next time.

I'm very pleased with today's results! After a rather lousy workout five days ago, I'm up across the board, increasing by three reps on four sets.

Yes, I actually did work out on New Year's Day! I admit it, my days of getting ripped on New Year's Eve were over long ago. Instead, I felt fine on January 1st, and "got ripped" in a completely different, and much healthier, way. Even so, it was a dreary day here in southern Indiana, and I still deal with the winter blues. That, in turn, has a physical effect, and coupled with having not Burned since mid-December, I had something of an off day. I just have to accept that very little gets done in the second half of December, with holiday travel and all that.
