Thanks for all the replys everyone!
So I thought I would be on here periodically while I was away... but no such luck. Too busy. The conference went well and I was able to stay with a friend from high school that I hadn't seen in a while and all my friends from undergrad, so it was a good time.
However.... my eating was terrible alll week! I tried... I bought some healthy cereal and some kashi snack bars for between meals, but I couldn't carry a lot of stuff with me so I had to figure out the meals while I was there... not good. Some days I had cereal in the morning, then a bar a few hours later, and didn't get anything else to eat till dinner... at which point I ate way more than I should have because I was starving! Ugh... Definitely took 2 steps back this week.
I'm going to try to go to the gym tomorrow to test out the exercises in stage 2 before I offically start on monday (my birthday! hehe) That front-squat-push-press thing scares me.... but I hope it will go well. I also think I'm going to start doing HIIT on off days.... I feel like Ive gotten stronger but that I have not lost one bit of bodyfat.
I will probably need some motivation tomororw though... after being away from the gym for what feels like quite a while (that conference felt like it was three weeks long!) my "i'm-so-excited-to-lift" mood is nowhere to be seen. I'll work on it though, and do some food shopping for good healthy stuff tomorrow too to getback on that healthy-eating wagon!
Anyway, just wanted to say that I'm back and thanks for all the input!
