- My nutrition is crap and I’m heavier than necessary @ 180lbs
- Ran the Bridge earlier this year with poor compliance, trying again because the gains were goooood

Week One Summary: Red lining all the times I don’t follow the program because I don’t follow instructions well.
Also, I’m logging in the spreadsheet from azeemqwerty and It’s awesome. It’s really helping me see how RPE can be a good thing…
Also, Happy Thanksgiving!
