    Sneak peek Wednesday on the scale looked promising. Great workout today with barbells. Really starting to like lifting weights.

    @jcgator2016 The barbell is one of the best tools for lifting, versatile, and there's a barbell exercise for just about every muscle group...

    ^^ Thank you JIM!!! I'm not good about taking time to foam roll---and though I stretch after each cardio session--- some days I'm in such a hurry--I don't take the time I should. I do the cool down pace .... and warm up is usually stretching and walking before my workout.

    I need a spiky foam roller---- Amazon.com to the rescue- :D

    Thanks again--- I appreciate the words of wisdom... I can't chance any more injury. Today I went very slow pace---lots of stretching. :)

    @SLIMn2016 While all of my trainers have told me I need to do it, I never do, not a fan, and I have one at home....I do stretch though!

    @jcgator2016 Yep, cleans and snatches will do that to you. They take a lot out of you!

    I've been really trying to build up my endurance, I'm 4 weeks out from my meet and I've got about 4-5 hours of lifting that day to make it through, a tad concerned that I won't have it in me...and I train 1-2 hours a day 4-6 days a week right now.

    Got a lot of errands done. Picked up candy for Trick or Treaters. We don't get many, but I like having them just in case and I tend to over buy. Bought the ones I don't like so I won't be temped to eat them. Many a Halloweens where I would eat a whole bag of those bite sized Milky Ways, Reese's cups, and Kit Kats and have to run back to the store.

    Exercise:Yes, 77 mins weight training, 15 mins treadmill

    Comments: Today's weight training could have gone better. I went to the gym today and walked on the treadmill, really to test out my new fitbit. Got up at 5 this morning, to get my husband up, decided to do my workout at 6:30, and I'm hoping that's the reason it wasn't great, taking tomorrow off, spending the morning taking my niece trick or treating with her daycare/preschool, and then off to see a friend I haven't seen in a while. Pretty excited.

    @jcgator2016 I can't do trick or treaters, I work from home and can't have people ringing the bell. Also, it works out anyway because then I don't need candy....although, Saturday I'm babysitting my niece and I'm taking her trunk or treating (in addition to her preschool trick or treating walk) and that's going to suck....candy actually in my house for a night...fun strategy though, buy the kind you don't like, lol.

    Disappointing month as far as weight loss, but I think I'm on the right track with heavy emphasis on weight and strength training. Really looking forward to week 2 in Nov when I can add cardio twice a week.

    So my coworker brought in this delicious gooey cake yesterday to cheer me up because work has been really stressful recently. Nice gesture-but.....I said I wasn't going to have any, but I did. ALOT. Well, today is another day...
