New STS'ers - week of 9/7-9/13

Realized I really messed up the dates on the title when I first tried to post this, so ignore the other post!

Hi ladies! Well, I enjoyed my rest week...almost so much that it was hard to make myself work out today. But I did, and I'm so glad I did. We went on a trip this weekend and came back Monday, and I had a bit of a cold yesterday so I didn't work out until today.

So today was the first disc of Meso 2 - I had a lot of trouble with the bench presses. I didn't do my one rep max for those for some reason, so when I looked at my workout card and saw nothing, I had to guess. I started off w/55 lbs (barbell). Well, that was too heavy. I could do about 8 reps but definitely not 12. And my step doesn't fit perfectly in between my squat rack (using it as a bench press) so the whole thing was awkward. Need to figure out the best way to set that up.

Hope you guys had a good Labor Day!

Hi guys. I had my back 'thing' again so was laying low over the weekend and had time to reflect. I had a blast with STS but I haven't lost a single pound since I've started so I need to go back to what works best for my current goals (i.e. not be ravenous and have enough time/energy to fit in cardio). I'm on a mission to get to a healthy weight within the next year. I'm bowing out of the check-in but who knows.. I may change my mind again once I start missing Cathe and the gang

Good luck with your fitness goals!!

Good luck Sharon! Is everyone else out, too? Might join one of the other STS check-ins if I don't hear from you guys. Hope you all are doing well!

Hey Nyx,

I'm still here. Need to do Disc 12 tonight. As you know I am on the 6 months schedule so if you want to join one of the other groups we could both do that as well.

I'll post a bit more later (I'm still at work). Rough week with the eating. I've been hungry.......

Doing well with the workouts otherwise, and from reading the posts, I saw there are no more pushups in meso 2 Can't wait!

Glad to see you enjoyed your long weekend!

Hey Helene, let's join another one - guess it'll be a little simpler that way. : ) I have been bad with eating this week...it's always when I don't get to the grocery store as regularly as I should. Going now to check out other STS check-ins!
