Well, the squats are improving some. I am using either dbs on shoulders or goblet-style as suggested, but not increasing weight until I get some better flexibility.
Regarding the challenge - I am succeeding at consistency, but not at diet. I will add an additional focus on that this month.

Clearly, the food portion has gotten out of control. Not that I've ever tried this before... I've always been blessed but now I think closing in on 40 is taking the "easy" part of food away from me.
However, I do feel a little strong - no change in weights for exercises, as I've focused entirely on form. I will stay at Stage 1 an extra two weeks also, to be sure I've form down cold, before I move on. I really don't want to teach myself bad habits in the gym - I've got enough of 'em elsewhere!
