You know… I really don’t care so much about the lifting session as I do feeling like I’m not losing any weight. Maybe I was just fooled by the quick loss of the first few weeks and I just have to settle into a slower groove now. I don’t know.

I keep telling myself to wait for the end of the month and assess then. It’s hard tho… it’s wearing on me, and it hasn’t been all that long into this.

As for the session, felt fine and actually pretty strong. I cranked hard, left stuff in the tank. I did wonder if I should ignore additional assistance work and instead spend time doing some conditioning work, like sled drags or even just 10-15 minutes on the elliptical. We’ll see.
