    I really debated about starting a log. This journey gets very personal at times. It's hard to announce to the world things you didn't even want to admit to yourself. But that's why I did it. It needed to be right in front of me so I could deal with it head on. And I needed support to get through it. Who would have thought I'd find that here of all places. :lol: But I did. These guys have been a great help and encouragement through some tough times for me and they probably don't even realize it. - Pagangoddess

Been lifting for almost a year, somewhat irregularly. Started with dumbbells and a bench, moved on to barbells last September (got a bench w/press & squat rack, olympic bar, and plates at a yard sale for $100!). Just discovered StrongLifts and thought I'd give it a try. First session tonight!

Thanks for the welcome, guru. Workout went pretty well, now trying to figure out what to do for cardio on non-lifting days. Thinking HIIT with burpees...
