Today has been very good in terms of self improvement for me, I lifted 5lbs extra weight on all my lifts!! Which means I am now lifting an extra 10lbs since I started!
I know I will not lift an extra 5lbs every week and I'm not expecting too, when you first start exercising you make fast gains in strength because it is new to your body, but has you get used to it you begin to adapt so progress slows down. It is at this point when alot of people get frustrated with their routines and give up, but this is not the way to go, when you no longer feel a challenge it is time for change, variety is the spice of life.
When faced with this problem simply change the exercises you are doing, one usefull approach to training is to change your routine every 4 weeks or so to prevent bordem or plateau.
So don't give up, just change exercises.
I was tied today and did'nt really feel like exercising but thinking of this blog helped me make the right decision, knowing that I can't lie on here and that I would need to explain my lazyness made me get my ass into gear. This is why blogging is such a fantastic way to keep yourself motivated.
Thanks for reading.

great job with the weight increase.
you are right in that blogging does spur you on to keep at it especially when you just don't feel like it because you know we are watching! ;) Keep making the right choices and stay positive!
