    I'm back from Hawaii. I was a bit more delayed starting back up with this challenge - I got food poisoning from a luau - watch out for the Poke and Lali Lali Salmon. I was so weak I could barely lift my head let alone a dumb bell. I'm doing this in conjunction with the strength training challenge. Just 5 days to go!
