After two weeks, I can feel myself getting stronger!  I am loving it.  My left shoulder is bugging me a bit, on the top, near where the trapezius connects to the collar bone.  Ice and ibuprofen.

I am feeling so good, it is hard to make myself take a day off!  Soon I will get brave enough to start logging my nutrition, too.

Nope. Right place. Looks like a great log!

Feel fee to take an additional rest day here and there if you need to to let yourself ease into this. This looks like a great start, though. Glad you are feeling stronger! 

And...it is nice to see your logs. I have been waiting for them!
