I am an unabashed Jen Sinkler fangirl, and so I love that you hit her with your three (not-so) annoying questions.<br /><br />Also, I've been very happy to hear that the unstable-surface trend is fading away, particularly regarding the lower body. I had a trainer guy who used to be all "do squats on the BOSU" and I would spend the entire time worried I was going to seriously hurt myself. Let me just stand on stable ground when squatting, dammit!Caitlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17513784959590239514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-51326288610009462622014-07-10T11:46:44.380-04:002014-07-10T11:46:44.380-04:00Dear Crabby, I haz a package of fairy dust for sal...Dear Crabby, I haz a package of fairy dust for sale: $3,995 plus $500 shipping tariff.

It does a lot to make surgical recovery a less annoying experience. That said, I'm transitioning out of too much ice cream and sugary doom bits (aka candy) now. The ice cream pints I'll miss, but the candy eventually got kinda "meh." When I noticed Starburst minis starting to taste like fruit-juice soaked Play-Doh, I figured it was time.<br /><br />Recovery is going really well, though. We've transitioned from walking to biking, so weights won't be far behind. I've actually lost a fair bit of fat even with eating like a mastodon, so we'll keep up the momentum and testing my limits. Someday I'll see abs!
