Went to a very sad funeral for a relative yesterday. RIP auntie. Her gift was bringing our family together for a day and having us feast on lots of tremendous Persian food. Beef kabob, saffron rice, pickled eggplant, and more (I had 3 plates total):

Despite feeling emotionally drained by nightfall, the rest and feast day had me feeling physically primed today. Previously aching shoulders felt much better and I was able to bench press for the first time in several weeks. Very happy with my numbers as I've been losing weight and with how easy 315 felt - I didn't slow down on any of those reps and might have been good for 5 on the first set.
