"No man is more unhappy than he who never faces adversity. For he is not permitted to prove himself." -Seneca
Little bummed to not have lost more weight, but I got after it last night so -1 is better than nothing.
Tweaked my back again, not happy about it. Going to take this week off from the deadlift and squat exercises and going to see a personal trainer from Sweatt Shop here in Cincinnati to help me lock in my form on those to prevent any injuries going forward. I am also thinking about adding back another ab and back exercise during the week to improve my core and back strength, which might be a reason these little tweaks keep coming up.
Other than that I can tell I am getting stronger and leaner. I can feel it when I am working out. 8 weeks ago I was struggling to do 15lbs on the military press for 5x15. Doing that exercise with 25lbs now. My clothes are getting pretty loose. I'm on the last hole on my belt, going to need to add another one soon. Its a good feeling. I am also pretty pumped at my commitment to this. I woke up Thursday feeling like shit so I didn't go work out. 6 months ago, I would have just skipped the day, but I went to the gym and did my training after work. A testament to my desire and motivation, but also to having a program I am enjoying.
