So no work out but lost 6lbs this week- knee is killing me and my hands are about twice the size they should be with some swelling around the knuckles. Good news is that the Abs are still there- I can feel the pain of them and the back is stronger. Bad news is that we now have to dig the trench- 2ft x 4ft x 40ft for the drainage.
Uhhh yeah, that would classify as exercise. I am a Civil/Structural Engineer and that is 2400 cubic feet of clay that can easily go 100+ pounds/cubic foot, or approaching a quarter million pounds. That is 7 large dump truck loads. Hope you had help!
