Beginning of the Middle

[redawl]

Hi members of the hive!

My name is redawl, and I have been following DareBee workouts since late June of this year. I have been making a lot of progress, and but I figured it was time I start writing down my progress somewhere. I have been meaning to get more into writing, and I figured this is a casual way to start a consistent habit.

So far, I started by following the PPL weight lifting program. Once I completed that, I moved on to Ironborn. Now, I am following the PPL workout plan. I have had a couple slipups recently (missing leg days), but am still in the best shape I have been in in years, and this is the longest streak of consistent exercise I have ever achieved!

My current routine is:
Wednesday: Push
Friday: Pull
Sunday: Legs

My largest challenge is my diet. I eat way too much food (mostly for dinner when my SO makes delicious food). I wish it was as easy to create a meal plan as it is to create a workout plan! However I have still not figured out to make this work yet.

Besides diet, I would also like to add cardio to my routine. I have tried running, but I have struggled to stay consistent with that so far. I am thinking about setting a goal for myself, like running in a half marathon, but have not committed to this yet.

Anyway, enough rambling. Today, I did my leg workout after having missed it last week:

Squats	4 sets	10 reps	30 lbs
Reverse lunge	4 sets	5 reps	20 lbs
Calf Raises	4 sets	16 reps	40 lbs
Goblet Squat	4 sets	10 reps	30 lbs
Single Leg Deadlift	4 sets	6 reps	30 lbs

Hi everyone, thanks for the warm welcome!
I was feeling sick yesterday (I have been overworking myself because of a tough deadline at work), but even though I still feel rough this morning, I was able to get in a full workout. In the past, this has been the end of a workout routine, so I am very proud of myself for this.

On bad side, my SO had to go into work on Monday, so there was no one around to stop me from eating poorly. I had chips for breakfast, and ordered takeout pizza for dinner. This was a good reminder that I still rely on others to prevent me from my bad health choices . I still have a lot to work on in that area.

Today was PPL Push:

Lateral Raise	4 sets	6 reps	20 lbs
Bent Over Lateral Raise	4 sets	6 reps	25 lbs
Tricep Kickbacks	4 sets	6 reps	25 lbs
Chest Fly	4 sets	8 reps	35 lbs
Chest Press	4 sets	10 reps	35 lbs
