Things have been progressing along nicely. I'm pretty much all settled into my place now and have been having some great workouts with the dumbbells that I've managed to get my hands on. I don't have tons of weight, only 23.5kg (52lbs) per DB but it's amazing how even with the most minimum of equipment you can still have a great WOD that can turn you into a pile of pulp. And some people spend $3000 on a bowflex. Unfortunately my knee has still been giving me problems but I'm going to get it check out and get it done and done. No more screwing around. Yeah some day's it's alright but other day's I'm hobbling around like a gimp. This last week or so I've been doing skill work and a good amount of stretching before each WOD plus I've been working on swimming laps in my pool. I'm a terrible swimmer but I'm rather enjoying it and I'm getting better. The pool is only around 15 meters long so the total laps that I'm doing aren't really that much. I'll also add that I think I'm getting fat or at least it's in my mind. I guess I am compared to before I left home, could flex my abs and see a six pack but alas, it's all in good food. Since I dont drink or smoke I need to spend my money on something so I've been going out to nice restaurants every day. The food is pretty lean and clean (not fast food) and all of the asian variety thus far, Thai, Japanesse and today Korean. I've avoided the rice as much as I could but have nibbled on it a bit. Kimchee, stir-fry's and Sashimi are godness. Very good.
