Gym progress

[elfs]

I was tragically naughty last week. I went to the gym on Monday, and kept telling myself I'd go again, and again, and somehow didn't go through the rest of the week. By Friday, my knee was killing me; hard to believe that if I miss just three or four days it'll act up again like that.

Went today. Pretty good workout. I don't seem to have lost ground, strength-wise, and my endurance was good. I forgot my MP3 player, so I had to suffer with other people's music, miserable as that was. Apparently no one wanted to watch the market go apeshit as all four TVs in the aerobics room were tuned to ESPN. After I did my five minute warmup I got outta there fast. There's only so much Tiger Woods, Brett Farve, and miscellaneous March Madness I can stand. Did PT on the knee and then did pushups, situps, the usual arms and abs stuff.

Lunch today is Omaha's wonderful corn, leek, and cauliflower chowder with crumbled bacon. Bacon makes everything better.

Bacon makes everything better. Have you had a bacon chocolate bar yet?

Yes, the Vosges bar. I'm planning to make chocolate-covered bacon sometime soon, though, just to see if I can.

No, I'm not familiar with it. Where do you get such a thing?

Whole Foods has them, but in my store they're not with the chocolate... they're with the extra special gourmet chocolate.

So, I tried the Vosges bar. There's a Whole Paycheck just a few blocks from where I work; it was a nice lunchtime walk. I'm not all that happy with it. The milk chocolate isn't my thing. Maybe I'll try and repro it myself, using some butcher's bacon and some Scharffen Berger 70%.
