It's been 14 weeks now. I'm starting to feel SO much better. I benched 100lbs this week (Tuesday, 8x w/ spotter, and Thursday, 6x without spotter - 2 rep sets). That feels AMAZING. I even had a guy tell me to "be careful." Yeah, I GOT THIS. :) It felt so good to hit triple digits. 

I leg-pressed 325lbs - 8x on Thursday. Today, I was told (by a person I always see at the gym but didn't know) that she  could tell that I had lost a "ton of weight" since I started coming to the gym. Apparently she started at roughly the same time I did. Anyway, that was such a nice thing for her to say and it gave me hope. I've really only lost 4-6lbs but I know the muscles are growing (I'm starting to SEE them)!  Her name was Sarah and she made my day! 

Progress is happening and I love it!  What a stress reducer, too. I'm proud of myself. I never thought I could get back here, and I can't wait to see where I can go next! 

Next goal: more running, ab work, and perfecting my squats.
