Fitness Progress - March 2016

April 16, 2016

I feel like I had a 'meh' March.

I made it to the gym often enough, but felt like I've been stalling a bit with my lifts. I figured it would end up happening now that the weight is starting to get up there. I've had to increase my rest time for the big exercises to 2 minutes to ensure I have more oomph for each set. I will say though that each time I am able to move up in weight feels much better as it's harder to reach and now each one is a new PR for me.

My diet is still a struggle. All too often I give in and reach for snacks that I should probably avoid. Working out helps prevent this from really hurting, but it's preventing me from reaching my goals.
