Had a great morning / afternoon at my old place of work. Not the one that I quit, but the other plant I was working in before I took the promotion to the second plant. I was there for about an hour before lunch, went to lunch with a friend, and then spent about another hour there. Was told more times than I was probably comfortable with how well I looked (and younger a few times). Although a lot of these people saw me through my first attempt at weight loss when I left I was about 50-lbs heavier and still not really recovered from my hospitalization. The company is still going through tough times, which I really hope they manage to weather.

I also managed to keep lunch in check at a buffet-style restaurant with lots of lettuce, a few chick peas/tomatoes, a small spoonful of pasta (logged as 1/4 cup but not even that much), and plenty of roasted chicken (with the skin off). Added a little melon for dessert and it was a nice lunch.

My back feels better, just an occasional twinge. I will likely skip tomorrow’s lifting and then get back to it on Sunday, paying more attention to form. From where it is I think it’s probably the one-arm dumbbell snatch that I have to be really careful with. I don’t plan on going any higher with them for a while, but may even push it back to 45-lbs and see how I feel.

Ended up taking a whirlpool in the evening (about an hour ago) which was nice.  I’m still not a great fit in the tub, however, I can at least turn the jets on.  This was something I never did before as I pretty much blocked two of them.  I’m still a little later than I thought getting to bed, but I’ll sleep in until 8am tomorrow so that’s okay as long as I’m asleep within about an hour.
