Week 5 of 12 on my personal fitness "dare". On the plus side, I have not had caffeine in 2010 and I've only eaten one candy bar. On the negative side, I'll need to leave before dawn and drive a long distance to the St. Valentine's Day Massacre next Saturday and that means making a decision about caffeine. I don't think it would be safe for me to drive that far and that early in the morning without it so I may jump off the wagon for that event and then jump right back on again after returning. I'll see how it goes. I do not want to fall asleep while driving.

Returning to my old exercise routine is proving problematic as the right shoulder (with the rotor cuff tear) is complaining about the upper body exercises. I had thought that reducing the weights would be sufficient but it looks like I'll need to eliminate some of the exercises that involved raising my arms above my head and reduce weights further on some of the upper body exercises.

Drat!
