Yep, I find front and back squats with the barbell more difficult than any other type of squat. You are definitely doing the right thing by focusing on the form first. 
It’s so easy to get caught up on the weight aspect of it but that’s the ego talking. The quality of the movement is what’s most important.
Focus on mobility and, if you haven’t done so, try some box squats to help you feel more safe. It’s also less strain on people like us of a particular age. 
You got this! 
Yesterday evening got in a quick assault bike and kb circuit while the youngest was training.
This morning I plan on getting to the gym for some rounds, has been a long time since I’ve gone in for a full session.
Today is the last day of school holidays here, so the schedule should open up a bit
Jan 27th
Cardio day!
Current weight: 232.2lb
I’ve used box squats before to perfect form. I was thinking of that yesterday but opted for super light weight and a focus on depth instead.
And you’re definitely right about the ego thing.
Thanks for the feedback. I’ll get there. I’m just impatient. Like I ate a few salads and I can do pull ups now….give me the physique already…
Don’t be hard on yourself. It’s a process and a long one sometimes.
Got to the gym this morning for some pads.
Then got in some more cardio in the afternoon while the kids trained.
10mins assault bike
20mins rower
10mins assault bike
Legs felt like jelly after a day of fasting too
Yesterday schedule
4am to 12pm Load Crew
12:30 to 2:30 Sanitation Crew
10:00 to 12am Treadmill
Let’s Go! 
Did a lunchbreak chest and bicep workout. Feeling great. Legs still sore from Monday.
Traveling for work tonight but I got a gym lined up for tomorrow morning.
Eating and sleeping habits have been keeping me at a weight plateau. But I gotta remember where I was a year ago. I can make some small adjustments…just gotta embrace that reducing sugar and better food tracking/planning will suck for a bit.
Jan 28th
No gym workout today (or Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday). My son is ill and so he stayed home to rest today. He will be home tomorrow and Friday also. Ill probably go to the little gym in my building tho for a treadmill walk or something once hubby gets home. Ill try to do what I can to be active. Focus on diet aswell. Hopefully by Monday, he will be feeling better 
Great job everyone on ur fitness!!
I’ll keep the little guy in my thoughts and prayers. May he get well soon! 
Checking in! I’ve been doing 45 minutes on my air strider 5 days a week. Added an extra 15 minutes and I was feeling it yesterday. I still stuck with it and did 45 minutes today. The scale keeps going up but I’m staying positive about it and staying consistent. Muscle mass perhaps? Bloating? Or just good ole womanhood!
Thank u so much 
I appreciate that friend!
The body can fluctuate 1-5lb every day… so it could just be fluctuations. But do u weigh urself first thing in the morning after using the bathroom? They say thats the best time to weigh urself
Yea, first thing after the bathroom and before breakfast. Idk about fluctuations. We’re talking about 14lbs. I have to watch my sweets even though I’m logging everything. I also lowered my caloric intake because I had lost weight and now I feel like I’m gaining 
You’re welcome 
Logging and tracking ur foods is great! I do the same thing and do find it helpful. Can i ask what the daily caloric limit is, that u set for urself (if u have a number in mind)?
I went online and used a TDEE calculator and it came up with1589, but it does add on calories for my exercise. I still try and keep a deficit though.
Thangz I’ve been up to 🏋🏽♀️🔥
