So after a pathetically long 5 weeks of doing sweet fuck all, besides struggle with life, here I am. Trying to get positive, trying to get motivated and trying to get on top of this beast called living. Only one goal, get out to the shed and get my head sorted! This means getting the iron therapy happening. Enough is enough.

GOALS NOW ADDED (original post below) I have confidence in me Say something nice about yourself every day and share with the class. Push It Eat 2600 calories a day (or an average of 18200 a week) and evaluate based on how my weight fluctuates. I like to move it, move it Do yoga once a week. Go to pilates once a week. Have a massage once during the challenge. Sing Sing. Don't care when or how or if I post video, but just to spend a little bit of time once a week singing either at the piano or along to musicals. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Okay, so I'm hitting the post-comp low. I'm feeling like I only won because I was lucky and everyone else is improving faster than I am. I hit comp PBs across the board and still I feel like I'm rubbish! I really need to sort my mindset! I'm going to keep this challenge simple. Lift things. Make friends. Try not to whine as much. Meh... I'll try to work out the challenge in full later. Ideas welcome!

Thinking of changing up my program to focus on one main movement per day. Trying to cut down on my time lifting so I can fit in my physical therapy stuff (15 minutes or so) beforehand. If I don't do them at the gym, I'm not going to do them. So I'm thinking of a 4-day split: squat, bench, deadlift, ???. I've had a suggestion that ??? should be back. Any other suggestions? To supplement the main movement, I'm thinking of adding 1-2 accessories per day. I won't have time for more (I lift on lunch). What are some of your favorites for each of the main lifts?
