It seems like you have a plan in place to finish up your Stage 1!!!

I just penciled in the rest of my workouts and AMRAP's, yep I am going to do them. And I might just have to take that break. A conference I must be at all weekend long is coming up.

Stay focused. You're doing really great.

Well thank you, you can come in anytime and talk like that LOL!

The workouts ARE tough but tough feels good, no?

Who knew what we were in for with this program. Suprises at every turn. I didn't know it blasted apart eating disorders LOL!


Well I did workout today. I am so bummed on having to switch up my workouts to match where I worked out. I will be so glad to just keep everything the same coming up on stage 2.

Bought some adjustable dumbbells today, whew the price of iron is rising so fast from the first of the year since I looked! And a "Step". I hope it holds me and the weight. I was wondering where you get more risers. I could probably use that better then the bench for step ups. I was a bit wobbly today.

The end of March I shall be done! FINALLY!

My appetite suddenly left as suddenly as it came. Weird. I did get my cals in, macros a little off, not bad. I am attempting 40P/20F/40C

2165 cals 31P/28F/41C

Squats What a joke these have been so far. I tried front squats because of no squat rack. Those things in Stage 2 are going to be hard on my wrist. I tweaked something. So the first set is front squat, the last two are regular. I can't get a heavy bar on myself. YET. The rack is coming, but the squats are ending .

Front Squat 8x45#
Squat 8x45# 8x65#

Push ups Bench height. Dang these are so hard for me. I have to go wide. 3x8

DB bent over row 8x28.25# 2x8x 38.25# +10lbs!

Step ups 3x8xBW on bench. Boy I came down and tweaked my knee. I bought neoprene knee support for my knees. Man they are tight. But they sure helped! I don't want to know what would have happend had I not had these on.


Prone Jackknife 3x10. Wow, this is where my weakness is after being off. I had to stop each time. I did find out I was doing them right though! Here I thought I was doing wimpy modified ones LOL!

So far in stage one I have been sick a couple three times. I fell on my knee and killed it. I strained my back doing dL's. I am still here.


Oh and SUCH a bummer. DS#2 is sick No fever but obviously not well to the max. I am like CRAP!
