The day of and after the comp, my mid back was trashed and it felt like someone had wedged a knife in the middle of my spine, probably from leaning too far back on one particular rep during the log press. Come Monday, that sensation and region felt completely healed and now it's a familiar discomfort in my low back which wasn't present after the comp. Very interesting.

Have just been doing non-exercise physical activity like walking and did a 6 minute partner's round of Fist of the North Star boxing. I'm thinking I feel like hitting a bench workout today after workout, but we'll see. Diet has been more lax but not completely astray, either. I ordered a pizza on Sunday and at work I saw a bag of Ghirardelli dark chocolates so I ate one. I'm actually completely satisfied from allowing myself these moments of mouth pleasure and feel like getting back on my routine again.
