    I really, really, really want to get back to at least 19% body fat (where I was a year ago). However, my knee is swollen so badly that it looks pregnant with twins and thus I went to the gym today and did a light routine, iced the knee for ten minutes, and returned home to ice it again.

    I'm still icing it and I'm wondering if I should take a chance with Advil again.
