Day 8 on the Carb-Nite-Tip...

See how I did that? Like an O.G.?? That's how I roll...

So anyway, Day 8 and things are getting easier still (that was archaic; I guess I could have said "even easier"). I did just receive the Girl Scout cookies I ordered from a friend today, so guess what's going to be on the menu for my first Carb-Night extravaganza? Will I share with the kids? You never know (although that seems like a very remote possibility right now).

Full-on workouts/training still stalled a bit. My knee is much better but it keeps "tricking" out on me; it feels normal and then I walk or move a certain way and "woops," no support. I'm going to start training again this week (it's a must), but I've got to proceed cautiously. Other than the diet, all I've been doing is some upper-body weight training (free weight curls, upper-body on the Hoist machines). Going down for a second set this afternoon.

One issue I foresee with intense aerobic/calisthenic exercise? If Jaye told me about the strange gastro-intestinal function responses before starting Carb-Night, I guess I wasn't listening. But to be fair to the rest of my workout companions, I'm going to need to be Skyping from another gym several miles away. That, or they have to look into these (cut and paste to view; still can't get the link embedding to work!!!): http://www.airsoftatlanta.com/Russian-Anti-Fog-Safety-Gas-Mask-Fan-p/66625.htm

If you see me go by chanting-- Vin Diesel by July, Vin Diesel by July, Vin Diesel by July, just ignore the weirdness...
