Feeling good and strong

I did not feel like working out today.  I was seriously considering taking the day off and chilling but after doing 2 weeks of maintenance workouts I felt I needed to push myself to get my workout done.  I am glad I did because I got a tremendous surge of energy about half way into training.  I also felt very strong which was a relief because I have been holding back for 2 weeks and I definitely get a little worried that I am somehow shrinking or getting weaker.   I know now that most of these kind of thoughts are just left over body dysmorphia that I am sure I have had my entire life.

Military Presses 5 sets of 5 with the 35 lb kettlebell, 40, 43, 43, 40 (the 43's are the 40's with some chains and plates attached
Snatches 5 sets of 5 with the 35 lb kettlebell, 40, 40, 40, 40 - these felt particularly easy!

10 minutes 30 seconds on 30 seconds off for 5 minutes each of the following exercises
2 handed Kettlebell Swings with the 40 lb kettlebell, 53, 53, 53, 53
1 handed Kettlebell Swings with the 26 lb kettlebell, 35, 35, 35,35

Everything felt light and my goal of pressing a pair of  53 lb kettlebells for multiple sets of 5  does not seem so far away!
