Squats: 3x10 at 175lbs. This is a
PR! But, I had to take some pauses at the top to get through the sets. I'm not sure if that qualifies as cheating. I really didn't think I could do this weight!
Conventional Deadlifts: 4x6 at 255lbs. OMG! I'm wiped!
Stretch:
I'll be doing it soon....I swear....
Notes
I've been feeling like the bottom of a well worn shoe for the last two days. I considered not training tonight, but I knew that I could get through it so I did.
I ate more today than usual. But, I've been getting less sleep and I was dragging so I decided that I would eat a little extra. I'm still in a deficit, but only by about 200-300 calories.
These last ten pounds are going to put up a fight, I can tell. This may take longer than I expected.
The funny thing is that I look and feel better. I swear I have less abdominal fat than I did five weeks ago (before the baby came) when I weighed the exact same. I'll take it!
