I'm happy to see people are continuing to work on their goals.
I had a rough day at the gym today. I'm getting stronger, but some days I just struggle. Like today. I cried the second I got in my car.
That said, I'm deadlifting 90lbs now, and hope to be at 100 before the end of the year.
My body dysmorphia has flared up again. I'm going through a transformation and while I think it's supposed to be more positive (more definition and stronger), my clothes fit differently and I wasn't expecting to struggle to get on certain dresses. My arms are bigger. They are muscular, but bigger. Anyway, this is a normal CrossFitter thing, and lots of women struggle, apparently. But, it set off some alarms inside of me. But I mean, I'm in my same clothes right now and they fit, it's just they are tighter in the arms. I don't know. But I love lifting, so my lifter friends have encouraged me to keep going.
I'm also going to cut back on carbs and hit up more protein. Not denying myself carbs, just going to try to rearrange the portions of fat/carbs/protein, etc., and see if that helps me develop leaner muscles. I just don't know. This is all so weird.
just checking in and didn't see an October yet. I'm continuing in the workout classes, only made 3 last week. Trying to eat more calories and calcium. Dogs are getting older, slower and not walking as long so I really can't count it as exercise for myself anymore
