Three chins!

I guess most people would be upset if they had more than one chin, but not me!  Today I managed 3 chin-ups back-to-back!!  I've been practicing with my Iron Gym, but only got to 2-1/2 before this morning.  Now to get the pull-ups to more than one at a time...

Today was a self-written workout.  Again, I tried to pick exercises that would not load up my SI joint.  Afterward, I think I was successful.  During the BSS, I had my hands on my SI joints to see if there was any movement there.  I don't think I felt any clicking, but it's a little hard to tell because I do actually have some muscle back there.  I thought I was losing all that muscle due to weight loss, but I think I'm still doing ok.

Besides protecting my SI joint, I'm also trying to strengthen my glutes, particularly my left glute.  Standing here, I feel a slight tightness in my left glute, so I think I did it today!  The single leg supine bridges are so much harder on the left side, more unstable.  My right side kicks them out like nothing, but my left side struggles.  I can tell they are getting easier, though.  A couple weeks ago, I had a hard time even getting full extention on the left side.

Here it is:
