Happy birthday @krokador!

Fortunately my closest friend is also a mom, so we try to schedule weekly dinner/play dates/sleepovers. The kids get to play, we get company preparing dinner, and once the kids go to sleep we drink lots of wine and talk. As far as girls nights out go, my husband and I work pretty different schedules and so he stays home…

@xcalygrl Yes, that's what I was asking! Thanks for stating it clearer than I could :smiley: And I appreciate the suggestion, I will give that a try next time!

Sorry, I knew as I typed it that it didn't make sense :neutral_face: Yes, it should be lifted from the floor. But I can't lift enough weight to use the bigger plates so that the bar is high enough. Does that make more sense? I was up too late and haven't had caffeine...

Last night was workout A for me. I skipped Monday's workout because I had been dealing with back pain for a few days. (Sympathy pains for all the ladies with back issues lately? I hope you are all feeling better.) So it felt good to make it back to the gym. Squat: 2x5 @ 45 lbs, 5x5 @ 90 lbs Bench Press: 2x5 @ 45 lbs.…

Friday was workout A Squats: 5 5 @ 85lbs. Repeat weight, felt so much better this time. Bench: 5×5 @ 60lbs. 3rd time here but finally completed them all! Row: 5 5 @ 45 lbs. I was really struggling with form so I started over again. Started today with a 3 mile walk/run. Now I get to eat all the foods at my nephew's birthday…

Yesterday was workout B for me. Squats: 5x5 @ 85. Felt pretty good, but I think I'm was starting to come up on my toes on the last reps, so I'll probably stay here for a couple workouts until I correct it. OHP. 5x5 @ 33. Used one of the smaller bars so I could add a little weight and not have to try to go all the way up to…

One morning I went to a water aerobics class and realized when I got there that I only had a toddler sized Disney Princess towel with me. Needless to say, it didn't cover much to and from the pool.

Thanks @MissHolidayGolightly. I'll try to change how I think about the lift and focus on my form. Hopefully if I can get that then I'll start to see the improvement. I just had the library I work at order Starting Strength, so hopefully that will be in soon and I can join the discussion group :smile:

I guess I'll come out of lurking as well :smiley: I am also on my fourth week of SL. I did workout A last night. Squats: 5X5 80lbs BP: 4X5, 1X5 60lbs Rows: 5X5 55lbs I think I'm going to have to go back to just the bar on rows though, because my form sucks. I'm also stuck at 30lbs for OHP. Any suggestions on how to improve…
