I'm Back!!!!!!!!!! (Still sick, but that's old news)

One full week. One full week without ANY weights. Last Thursday I trained back. Today, Thursday, I trained back. I lost some strength, I'm not actually better yet, but better enough that it seeemed like the best use of my time before my ACCT 342 midterm. I'm going to get my 40s back. I was so proud 1 week ago today, 40 lbs, one arm, bent over row, 2 sets. Today, same exercise 30 lbs, boo. That's why you don't take a week off if you can help it. I need to get back on 2 a day cardio, the notion feels daunting right now. I need to ease into that.
