Fitness Checkin

It's probably not supposed to, but I had already bought tickets months ago to a wine event today, so I went. I sipped very carefully (and of course didn't take any painkillers today). So far so good!
I know what you mean. I also find that I'm much more motivated to complete a workout when I have to leave the house to do it. And besides, the gym showers are much nicer than mine.Grr... Gym is closed for a week. I'm stuck with at home workouts. *sigh* I prefer to leave the house and get sweaty where my munchkins can't interrupt me.
I have decided to take a break from drinking. I'm going to enjoy myself at a wedding this weekend, and then I will drink again on Halloween, but then I am going to take a full 2 months off from the booze to really focus on lifting and eating. I will commence drinking again on New Years.
Well I'm a waitress. So walking most of the week is part of my job so next paycheck I'm putting in for a Zumba dvd set to use at home and then paying off a layaway for my New Balance TruTone shoes for work
As I started Weight Watchers a few days, my exercise plan is a minimum of walking for 30 minutes per day and whatever else I can do. Today done my daily walking, plus 10 minutes on an exercise bike. Hopefully later in the day I'll do another 10 minutes
All right, started my new routine today. I am 86 booze for at least the next two months, and I am focused on my diet and weightlifting. Let's get huge!
Did Front Squats and Deadlifts tonight along with some other leg exercises. My legs have always lagged behind the rest of my body, so they are going to be my primary focus over the next couple months.

RAMA, out of curiosity, what is your diet like?
As much as I always want to bulk up, I am so lazy when it comes to cooking that I tend to not eat as much as I should.
That said, I'm actually making more progress this time around than I have in years. I've stopped drinking, and that has made a world of difference.

I eat 6 times a day and in larger quantities, about 4800-5000 cals a day..being fairly clean but not anal about it. Eating lots of meat as usual. I let myself drink some egg nog (high in protein but also in fat), more wheat bread, more potatoes. Way more wheat pasta than usual. I've been making wheat protein pancakes for breakast. I also have lots of eggs(egg whites). In short, carbs are increased. I am cooking more than ever.
I'm expecting to get a 465+ bench by Sunday.
Hehe, I was proud of myself yesterday for setting a new personal best in squat and deadlift with 90kg yesterday.
(I could probably do more in the deadlift, but I have trouble with grip strength and blisters on my hands all the time from the weight already.

Get some wrist straps. They make a world of difference when doing deadlifts!
I hit it Sunday! Unlike other times when I was in this range, I feel like its not the limit...trying 475 next week.
