Notes:

* Woke up exhausted.  Massive thunder and lightning storms through the night with the doggo in the bed meant very little sleep, which, combined with all the coughing I’m still doing, meant a rough evening. I’m also just plain dog-ass tired, to quote Ken Shamrock, after hitting 2 weeks of Famine.  The system works: I am anatomy chart lean again and the lowest bodyweight I’ve seen in a LOOOOOOONG time.  I am SO primed to grow.  In turn, this was all I had in me this morning, so I gave it everything.  You’ll see when I upload how I left nothing behind.  I am so ready to get after some mass.

* Listening to Dan John’s latest podcast on my way to work and, honestly, my Easy Strength/MMS smash-up sounds 100% in line with his intent.  Use ES to build strength, and the rest of your time to build whatever else needs building.  

* Despite everything, my mental state could not be better.  I am legit just so f**king happy and excited about so much, and especially so now that the food floodgates are open.  I got SO much to cook and eat ahead of me, and so much living to do.

* Oh yeah, forgot: got in an extra 2.5 mile walk with the wife and kiddo out in the sun yesterday, which helped overcome the awful morning walk.
