I know that weight isn't the whole story and I generally try to keep weigh-ins at once per week, but this past friday I weighed in at 188.4 pounds
. Being at 225 at one time and then averaging 220 over the last three years, this is just a phenominal feeling. I hadn't weighed-in this low in like 5 years. All this does is just create more motivation for me.
I started personal training sessions with the old tax refund yesterday. I am very sore today but we all know what that means: work-out well done
. I'm also beginning to mix up cardio work outs: I discovered a new stair stepper machine that works like an escalator of sorts and its kind of fun almost. I know that the best way to do cardio is to mix things up and always keep your body "guessing" so I'm going to be rotating between the stairs, elliptical, treadmill and the spinning classes.
Anyway, goals are 180 by April 15th. I want to lose 13 pounds of fat (may be a bit out of reach) and gain 3 pounds of lean muscle (probably very doable).
