First woot is a twofer!

SO... I thought I was going to have an awful workout. I got to the gym and realized that I'd forgotten my sports bra. Cue aggravated workout start. Well, until as I was putting more weight on the bar I noticed something in the mirror. The hamstring muscle bump!!!! I'm not getting anywhere with my weight loss goals, and my measurements aren't changing even a little it seems like, but it is a little victory!! I swear it is hiding right there on my right leg right up front in the image. I swear it is really there. 

 

The most important part though, is that that little victory led to something even more awesome. A one rep max of 185lbs. AKA, a bodyweight deadlift for me!!! I'm so so so so so happy right now. I love it when a crap workout turns around.

Seriously, you can benchpress your own bodyweight?  Wow!  That's awesome.  Congrats, too, on seeing muscle definition.  Gotta mean something's going right, right?

Noooooooo no no. Deadlift! Good grief if I could benchpress my body weight I'd be over the moon... LOL.

Hey--anytime you can pick yourself up, it's a serious win--woohoo!

[Everstorm]

Either way, I couldn't do it.  Good job!

So... to add to the wootyness... I squatted 150lbs today!!! I did it for two reps, so, I could have done more, but, I didn't have anyone to spot so I figured better safe than sorry... A good week overall!! :D

Legs of a Prop!

Some would say the most important legs on the pitch. Not me though, I'm a winger ;D

Awesome job!  Definitely understand the frustration in not losing weight.  Started working out a couple months ago and dropped 10# almost immediately and then stopped.
