i havnt been to the gym in 4 weeks.!! well its not all my fault as i did tear my acl.. but heres the thing. i go for surgery in 3 weeks. i am back on my feet and can pretty much do as i need to. if i have my brace on i can prolly go back to lifting for upper body. i have no desire tho. i almost feel as if it will be useless time because i will be back off my feet. i lost 10lbs from 192 to 182. i havnt taken any shakes either. i really need to try to put a few pounds on before surgery or else i will be really depressed..
