back home

so we're back home and i've already been able to eat better. my calf is killing me from a pistol squat yesterday. my own fault. was very dehydrated. this gym experience has been so good for me. I was the type of guy who used to go to gym, do 1 set to complete failure(positive and negative failure) for just one body part each day. I looked really strong but had absolutely no endurance. It was also worthless strenth. i could bench press a lot but what was that worth. I feel much better about the new kind of strength i'm developing here. Its also been a very humbling experience too. There's no faking your way through these kinds of workouts. I had to do the 7:30 am class instead of the 6:30 and ended up getting 2 work calls and had to leave early. :( My calf hurt today but i didn't want to miss deadlifts. i feel good for days after deadlifts and they provide so much bang for the buck as far as strength goes. I was starting to enjoy the fact that Melissa is stronger than I am. I was making her open the pickle jar when i couldn't, carry the heavy grocery bags, and even move the heavy recycling bin around the house to the curb. I think i might start doing more around the house. The neighbors are going to start to think i'm a lazy dead beat.
