Hello All,

I'm just stopping in to give you status update. Currently, I am reassessing my goals and deciding what works and what doesnt based on my past exercise history. I have decided for the next month or two to focus more on resistance training, however, I will still complete at least 4 cardiovascular workouts per week (spinning/running/Arch Trainer). I will complete a strength training routine for each major muscle group at least twice per week and follow a split training system. Although I will be watch what I eat closely, I will not be as harsh on myself as I have been in the past. The goal is not to make to 125 but to get back to 130 and tone from there. I will start posting food tomorrow.

Well All,

Let's say I have been chillin since Friday. Not over eating not under eating..just chillin. I did workout Friday morning and played basketball in the evening. I did not, however, workout over the weekend. Let me at least tell you what I ate today:

B-wheat bread with pnb
S-wheat crackers with hummus
L-salad
D-580 cal mini pizza

Well, I could have gone with broccoli and sardines and not had the pizza but it has been sitting in the freezer forever and I didn't want it to go bad (are you buying that?). I think the comments related to me turning into a crackhead and "Your legs look like toothpicks" are going to my head. Quick someone tell me I'm getting pudgy.

So, I have 21 days (3 weeks) left until pictures are due. At this point, what could I do:

1) I could lose 2lbs a week, which would equate to 6 lbs lost and 8lbs over all.
2) I could lose 3lbs a week, which would equate to 9lbs lost and 12lbs over all.
3) I could be lazy and do nothing at all, which would include not sending in pics at all.

Ummm....
I think I will go with option number to and get as close as I can. Now how will I do it:

1) Cardio 5 days a week (90 min). I can do it all at once or in 2 sessions. This is how I lost weight the last time mixing in strength training

2)Total Body Strength Training Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Lifting heavy but not focusing on just one muscle group.

3) I wont stick to the eating program exactly but will modify it. More veggies, less carbs, more protein and water, NO ADDED SUGAR!!

Alright! Here I go. I will need some cheerleaders for this one! Off to do some cardio.
