  Feb Update: Part Dos

  Nutrition! So I've been pretty good about my diet and the pounds have steadily been trickling away. (36 pounds in 2.5 months) My workouts have been pretty good but I've noticed one said thing as a result; for 3 consecutive weeks, my chest day has been declining. So while I don't want to cease the weight loss with only 10 lbs to go to reach my goal weight before my birthday (3 April), I need to start upping the protein and healthy calories.

  Feb Update

  Hit my February goal 15 days early! I actually was about 5 pounds ahead of pace from January so it isn't all that impressive. -- My appetite has slowly been returning which is good, but a little scary as I don't want to stop progress. I've been taking it easy from this gym this past week after I starting getting some elbow pain on my bi/tri day and I re-aggravated a pinched nerve around one of my deltoids last week during a shoulder workout. Back at the gym tonight though, and if we escape February without much of a weather change, I'd like to start running outside in March.

  Goal!

  Body weight goal for January has been hit! Exercise is going on well, diet is good, but I'm actually at the point now where I need to make sure I'm getting enough quality calories in. I've been getting a little dizzy at the gym lately towards the end of my workouts.

  Ab Ripper X

  Boy do I know that feeling! My core is my weakest area too and I just hate working it because it's so tough. Thanks for checking up on me, I definitely need help keeping myself accountable so by all mean yell at me if you haven't seen a post that day! Great job on completing those 2011 goals, what do you plan for this year?

  New Year's Eve

  Finished my last workout for the year, and I will say that I'm pretty happy. I've gone from not working out regularly at all, to 6-7 times a week for most of the year. The last few months have been very emotionally trying, but I've been able to use it to alter my eating habits and the lbs have been falling. I hit my weight and bench goals for the year and then some; I'm going to spend some time tonight resetting my goals for 2012. Good luck to everyone!-- P.S. I successfully made it through December without disastrous weight gains! (unlike the last two years)
