I am still in shock, but I keep acting like I am still stuck in the 160's as motivation!! funny since I vowed i never wanted to see the number again!

Ah, Heather. Thanks so much for that. I needed to hear it and I know it is on the way but, like you were I have been stuck in the 160's. Hearing others' experieces gives me hope, LOL. I appreciate you taking the time to give me some insight.

I figure seeing that everyday may help. I think there has been some kind of research done about the whole visual thing. Thought I would try it. LOL
Ah, I actually have a workout to post. Who knew?
Please bear with me on these names too. The first exercise I had never done before and the squat was different than the front squat I did in NROL4W. We did these "for fun"
. They were really hard for me, but in a very intriguing way. I told him after that I would like to get good at. I kept asking what they were called and I may have forgot. Should have been writing it down.
Clean and Press (oly bar up to chest, then over head?)
55X10, 55X10, 55X10
Squat push press - (bar up at chest, squat and then explosive movement to get the bar over my head)
55X10, 55X10, 55X10
By the last set my form was so-so on both of these, but I enjoyed doing them. I don't think it would have killed me to start out with 45 lbs.
Dumbbell Deadlift
50X10e, 50X10e, 50X10e
Bent over rows
55X10, 55X10, 55X10
Wide grip lat pulldown
70X10, 70X10, 70X10
Also did 29 minutes on the step mill and 20 minutes on the eliptical - according to the old Polar, I was in my zone for 47:24, which isn't too shabby.
