Workout was an hour of strength.  I am trying to fix the early pull on my cleans, was very frustrated yesterday :-(

One week in, three to go!

So its not as hard as I thought it was going to be, but maybe thats because I had no social obligations this weekend therefore was not pressured to cheato on the plan!  I have a bday event this coming weekend and then a Haloween party the following weekend  BUT the day after the end of the challenge is my nephews 4th birthday so I plan on eating lots and lots of cake :-)
