    Note: Finished my second million! And ironically, it was with a lower-power session, which is the same workout that completed my first million. Any bets whether my third million will also be completed with a lower-power workout?

    Today I swapped the 4x15 squats for 5x10 with a higher weight. Hard to say which has me breathing harder after.

    Bench Press 1RM Test Day

    Bench Press 5x1, 1, 1*, 1*, x*, 5x5
    Cable Row 5x5
    Machine High Pull 5x5
    Cable Woodchoppers 3x10 (Low, Cross, High)

    After a thorough warmup, I started doing singles leading up to the big try. First star matched my lifetime 1RM from 10 years ago; second star added 10#, and the x* was when I tried another 10* and needed my spotter to get me unstuck at the lowest point, my personal nemesis. I was able to finish the lift alone, but without that low point I didn't count it as a good lift. Still, I call the day a success.

    Good morning @nossmf!

    I am Nicole and I would love to walk with you on your journey. Here is my story:
    I never exercised or cared about nutrition but was always thin until I had my children. My children became my world and while they grew so did my weight. When they were young adults I took stock of my life. I got a fitbit and walked and I joined a group challenge on SparkPeople, (SP closed down and now we are here on MFP). I walked and watched my calorie intake my first round of the challenge and lost some weight. The group was a wonderful support and through them I started exercising and even joined a gym. Boy was it scary joining that gym but I ended up LOVING it!!!! I was a class girl and started with Zumba because I love to dance. I then started some stretch and strength classes and my body changed but more importantly MY MOOD CHANGED! I fell in love with life and had like minded friends. I rode my bike on trails, went camping, played pickleball and learned what it meant to have an active life. Then... my husband and I moved to a new state in a VERY rural town of 1,000 people. I am a social person so I joined a gym but it is 45 minutes away and I find that I do not go. I started to get depressed and my world kept closing in. That is pretty much where I am now. I have gained 15 lbs and have not exercised except for short walks around our lake, approximatly 500 steps (yes my walks are counted in steps, lol). My journey right now is only about finding the motivation to be healthy and happy. I need to find some succuss no matter how small. I'd love to use your thread as an accountability plateform and say hello along the way. You are an inspiration. You had to stop your way of staying healthy to give your kids braces. Mine stopped for my husbands dream of owning land and buying ATVs, lol. I want to be like you and find success where I am at. Where there is a will there is a way. Thank you for sharing your journey!

    -Nicole

    I have been waiting with bated breath to see this number show up before the end of March like I knew it would. Way to go.

    I think Q1 has the fewest actual days of any quarter, so for SURE you're on track. Pretty awesome really.

    Between spring break, blizzards, retirement parties and religious holidays, I did miss quite a few workouts this first quarter. The second quarter should be pretty clear.
