Hi Tom! I agree 100% and that was the #1 reason for doing that.

Thanks, Bytsi. At least we can be different on this board, huh? It almost makes me want a tshirt that says "I love beautiful dead lifts"......

Exactly. I keep thinking I am going to find more time, somewhere. I'll just keep hoping.
Didn't go to the gym this morning. I wasn't feeling it, so at 5:00 I reset my alarm and snuggled back up, for some extra snoozing. After my leg workout tonight, I was a little grateful that I made that decision.
Legs
WU Leg Press (not sure of the weight) 2 sets of 12
Supersets (again, we stayed the same in weight and focused on good form. I am good on form for the back squats and for the 1st set of box squats and then it tends to go to hell)
Box Squats
95X10, 95X8, 95X10, 95X8
Back Squats
95X10, 95X10, 95X10, 95X10
Hack Squats (these sucked. Bad.)
125X10, 125X8
Straight-legged DLs
40eX10, 40eX10
Jump Squats (10 w/25 lb plate, 10 BW)
25X10 - BWX10, 25X10 - BWX10
That was it for the weight training and I was a little bummed. I was ready for a little more. So, I did 30 dreaded minutes on the step mill on the fat burning program and 15 minutes on the eliptical.
My legs are going to hurt tomorrow.
Yesterday was a tough, tough, food day for me. Today was better and tomorrow will be even better.
I am still trying to get off a few pounds that found me when I was out of town this past weekend. I drank quite a few vodka/diet tonic waters and it all went to hell from there. I had the best pizza in the world, one of our old favorites from back home and I think it went straight to my ass, so I am hoping it doesn't stick around for long.
