      I somehow injured my right shoulder / front deltoid.  The pain started in the evening while sitting at my computer and NOT while I was working out.  I must have strained the muscle and it just took a while to kick off in pain mode.  I am practically unable to lift the arm above 45°.  So ends my streak on both pushes / presses and pull-downs.  It’s too early to tell how long I’ll be offline on either or both.  I may move on to steps, crunches or squats tomorrow.

21 11 06 Home 12 Min 0.39 Mi. 55.5 in. waist
      I walked Shiva around the block.  Overcast and cold.  I started at:  8:55am;  12m 20s duration;  .39 miles;  1,133 steps;  273 calories;  132 bpm max HR during walk;  132 bpm avg HR during walk.  31m 14s avg pace for walk.  I couldn’t sleep.  Awake at 5am.  I got up at 6am, so I was ready to go before Hil finished getting up.
       
      Morning weight: 380lbs.  My weight is up 6lbs from yesterday, so that is up 12lbs from the start of Nov (368lbs).  Blood thinner with coffee after the dog walk.  Scrambled eggs, two toast and four bacon for breakfast at 9:45am.  Left-over tuna and noodles for lunch at 1pm. Chicken in orange sauce over rice for dinner at 6pm.  Two large goblets of coffee(34ozs X 2 = 68ozs) during the morning / afternoon.  I drank 64ozs of water in the evening.  I will have 5ozs of water with my evening pills. Waist at belly-button: 55.5 inches.  Today is day sixty-one(61) of ITF (9:45am to 5:45pm).  No swollen hands this morning, so I didn’t take a water pill.  Even though the weight gain (6lbs) is probably mostly water, I’m not feeling swollen or bloated.

      Home 10 Min Day 26 of 30  
      100 inclined pushups 130lbs(est) (.35 * 370lbs) and 100 “bench” presses with 45lbs.  Day 26 of 30-day challenge.  I completed the 100 pushups in five sets of 20 – full (5×20).  All wide grip.  All 100 presses narrow.  I also did 10 strict (narrow) triceps reps.  I finally feel like my chest is starting to tighten-up a bit.
      Home 5 Min Day 1 of 30  
      100 pull-downs with 40lbs of weights.  I decided to start the second exercise set a few days ahead of schedule.  I wasn’t going to add on until I’d completed the full 30 days of bench presses, but I just went ahead.  Day 1 of 30-day challenge.  Hopefully, the pull-downs will help with my flabby lats.  In any case, it’s an opposition exercise to the pressing / push-ups.  Needed for balance…
