Thanks guys. The cause of my inconsistency is just life getting in the way. I know I could have found the time to get a 3rd workout in, but found excuses not to. The solution is going to have to be a team effort between me and my wife. We both have to push each other to get off our asses and get to the gym when the motivation isn't there.
I'm off to a good start this week. Here is yesterdays workout.

I finished with 20 minutes on the elliptical followed by some stretching and some more ab work.
I was supposed to do deadlifts tonight but didn't feel like it. My new plan is go into the gym with a plan but not be afraid to make changes if I feel like it. I had a stressfull day at work and I tent to carry my stress in my back and doing deadlifts would have been asking for an injury. The last time I was stressed out I bent over to pick something up and was out of commission for almost a week.
So, instead I decided to get my stress out by punishing my legs a little bit.
On a side note... I got out of work early and was at the gym almost 2 hours earlier than my usual time. I always find it interesting to go at a different time since the regulars that I'm used to seeing were not there. I have to say that they early crowd has some interesting characters. The squat rack was in full use with kids doing 1/4 squats, feet pointed out at least 45 degrees. First a set of 135, then 225, then why not go for 275 since you are hardly doing any work anyway.
There was another guy doing 1/4 squats moving way too fast and facing away from the squat rack. I would think racking the bar at the end of the set would be rather difficult with it behind you. To his credit he did a few sets of BB lunges after the "squats".
Now I'm off to go eat too much turkey. I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving.
