Workout A - I was tired today, which really screwed me up. I went back to sleep after I took Abby to Daycare, and did OK when I lifted, but I stalled on Bench Press, at a lighter weight than when I first stalled. I am going to chalk it up as a fluke and nothing more. Perhaps Friday will be fine, although I will repeat the 150 and hope I don't stall. I also fear that my diet is causing my barriers. I need to eat more. I should also add cardio again. I have been trying to get my schedule back together since the job change and I also have to cut out alcohol entirely for one week and see what happens.

Squats - 95 x 3 / 135 x 3 / 185 x 1

Try again Friday!

I was rushed to get to work, so I could have done that better.

Question - would not eating enough calories in a day (too big a deficit) make me plateau?
