Happy New Year

HI there. I've been kinda lazy with my log over the holidays. Last time I hit the weights was Christmas day.
Did cardio at the gym 3 times. 1/2 hr each time, split between treadmill, Xtrainer & step mill.
Starting the 5X5 today. Gonna shoot for around 2,800 - 3,000 cals p.d.
I was gonna start a new log, but there's still lotsa room in this one.

I actually think I screwed up, LOL.
I've read so much on 5X5, it's information overload.
What I wanted to do was start at 60% of my 5RM, but some are actully 60% of my 1RM.
I know I'm supposed to start low & work into it, so I expected the effort to be low. I also slowed the cadence down, from my usual, it's now about 3,1,3, which adds a little to the difficulty.
