Notes:

* Continuing with my trend of chasing the squat workout with a lighter walk workout.  I meant to log this earlier, but this seems to marry up to the rest and recovery model Dan John put out in “Mass Made Simple”, where you had a “rest” day and a “recharge” day.  I have 2 walking days, but one is more intense than the other, and the one that isn’t intense is there to get me back into the training game for the next day.  Always fun figuring out where the pieces fit in the program.

* Tang Soo Do last night was pretty light, minus the physical testing requirements.  I push those hard, to make the most of it.  But otherwise, we stepped through the one-steps, since my Mrs is still nursing a neck injury.  We have another class tonight, which will be similarly paced.  And then I get the next 4 days off work, so schedule will be a little nutty, but all good things.

* On Sunday, I’ll have to slightly re-arrange the gym, since we’re getting new garage doors.  That’s always a good workout.  I’m also going to make myself some beef chuck bone-in short ribs for lunch tomorrow, since I’ll have the time to do so…so I got that going for me…which is nice.

* Actually, on that note, been eating a lot of pork this week due to the leftovers and not much beef/ruminant meat, and I'll have to say I'm noticing the difference in terms of physique.  I'm a bit puffier than usual.  I figure it's a little it of inflammation.  I think my Operation Conan principles of staying closer to red meat when possible is a good idea, but I'm not going to act like I haven't been enjoying the food this week.  And the porkening will continue, because tonight is "Chef's Night Out" at Texas Roadhouse, and I'll be getting my ribs-on there, which will mean another 2 day streak of ribs...which is awesome as always.  It's actually going to be a "feast forward" weekend, as we're going out for dinner tomorrow, and then my Valkyrie is going out with her friends on Saturday, so I'm taking the kiddo out to Texas Roadhouse AGAIN so I can try out my free steak dinner for November.  After that, I'm thinking of trying my hand at my first brisket for Sunday.  We'll see how that goes.
