Notes:  This was a tough week after two weeks off from the gym; my legs were sore through most of it.  All of the benches were occupied on Monday when I was ready to go, so I got to learn why it's important to do chin-ups last, since my bench presses were pretty terrible after a single set of chins.  Squats were hard all week because I'm still doing a ton of work getting the old house emptied and ready for showings, and my mid-back is perpetually sore, enough so that Friday's attempted 5x3 failed outright on the fifth set.  I might lighten up a bit on squats this week while I keep working on the house, just so I don't end up with sciatica or something.  I want to stay in the habit, though, because otherwise the soreness from starting again will leave me like I was last Tuesday: shuffling and limping.  In better news, my weight is continuing to trend down.  I'm cautiously hopeful that my strength isn't necessarily going with it.
