Thanks, I just miss making strength gains. With the way I am eating and these higher reps its not as easy.

I know, we used to run together more. I feel like I am holding him back so I usually do my own thing. And he usually only runs a fast 20 minutes anyway and I would rather do a slower 30.

Interval type thing:
15 minutes of this "cardio blast" from a Cathe video. I know, I know a
video, but holy crap is it hard! My heart rate was in the 170-180 range the entire time. Basically its like 15 minutes of Body Weight Matrix
(The goal here is to slowly ease my way back into intervals to see how my body handles it now that I am eating at more of a deficit.)
Okay I really want to go up in my squat, but don't feel like I can keep form. My lunges are higher and based on those I should be able to go much higher on squat. Squats have always been uncomfortable for me - they always hurt my shoulders and those last few reps I feel my from getting loose, so I know I need to keep working at this weight. Frustrating though because I know my legs are stronger then it shows.
Some good things:
-I cooked last night! I know that is not an accomplishment for most, but I usually make plain chicken, tuna, or eggs for dinner. I made pecan crusted chicken tenders. It was a healthy recipe I found and DH approved. I just need to do it more often now.
- Tomorrow is Friday! We are meeting some friends for dinner. It was my idea because we usually drink a lot when we get together with these friends, and I thought this way its easier to avoid that by ordering a non-alcoholic drink and I can choose my food instead of eating junk snack food like we usually do when we are together.
