So I did workout #3 yesterday, and I can't believe how different it went only after starting! Last week, I squatted 50 lbs. I admit it wasn't very difficult (it wasn't easy, either). But this week--75!! This time I actually had a squat rack available so that was good, 'cause there's no way I could have lifted that much weight over my head like I did with the 50 lbs last week. Only problem I'm having is that whenever I do squats, I end up with bruises--one on each shoulder--from the bar sitting there. Oh, well. The other great thing was, my balance is better ALREADY! On the step-ups last week, I had to do bodyweight only just because I was so off balance, and I couldn't do the prone jackknife correctly at all because I couldn't balance on the ball. This week, I did the step-ups with 20 lbs (with the exception of the final 3 reps), and was able to do ALL of the jackknives. Still slightly wobbly but nothing like last week.

Oh...and I'm only mildly sore. Last week, it hurt to walk for several days.

I never would have thought there would be such a difference in only a week!
