    Hi all!

    I'm new to stronglifts 5x5. I did my workout B today, and started on Tuesday (so this is all very new to me!). I'm on mfp all the time lol even 3:30am apparently haha. I accidentally took a nap after work and woke up at 9:30p, but still put on my gear and went to lift :) The most challenging part of this for me so far had been finding food I really like eating that all falls within my macros. PMSing certainly doesn't help that! My diary is open, and i hope i can see what you eat too. I don't do it to criticize, I more want to get food ideas :-)
