So the motivation has slipped to an all-time low these past couple weeks. I do not see any changes yet (at least not the ones I'm wanting to see) and my workouts hadn't been fantastic with being sore/hurt/whatever. I know all the reasons for staying in the program: You'll look fantastic, think of all the things you'll be able to do, You'll be healthier, yada yada yada. I want to look in the mirror and see that my stomach is an inch or 4 smaller. I want to see my thighs not jiggle. I want I want I want. I really can't stand all this yammering going on in my head. I keep going on because I have the best partner in the world who wants me to succeed at this and see me be happy with myself. So she decided to go back and do a few of the workouts again with me. We weren't on the same track... she had started before me and I missed a couple workouts that put me back further. I didn't want to get discouraged and neither did she, so here we are, ready to keep going. I'm waiting for her to get home and changed so we can walk over to the gym. I made a platform on the back patio to do some little "jump ups" on as a warm up. The better I get, the higher that platform goes.

So enough whining. Here is my last workout:

Stage 1 6A

Squat: WU: 45/8, S1:55/8, S2: 65/8, S3: 75/8
Push-Up: S1: 8 on bench, S2: 8 on floor (no knees), S3: 8/Foor
Seated Row: S1:55/8, S2: 70/8, S3: 70/8
Step Up: S1: 20#/8, S2: 24#/8, S3: 24#/8
Prone Jacknife: S1: 15, S2: 15, S3: 15

Food has been a bit of an issue for me. I want to make sure I'm eating enough but I don't want to overdo it. And I want to be sure I'm eating the right kinds of food. I may go back to tracking everything. I think that was the biggest issue for me... taking the time to track it all.

Not home yet. More jumping!
