No Days Off
Last Christmas break, I spent a couple days where I actually did nothing other than read and eat. In REHAB, I realized I'd never get another day like that. I have to put a lot of effort to maintain my level of recovery or my muscles will atrophy again. Even a single day off can make a difference, though sometimes I need a day with less.
Today was my first day of break, and I didn't push myself to any new limits, but I worked hard to get out of bed, shower, clean my apartment, do some laundry, and go to the grocery store. I've got three weeks ahead of me, and none of them will be just reading and eating - they will all involve much more activity than that, and hopefully I'll break lots of records in the coming weeks to update you with.

Blessings. Even in the midst of making your muscles cooperate, I pray you'll find some moments to read and relax. Say hi to your parents for me. Merry Christmas!
