So far so good.

Day 4!!  Amazing how good I feel.  I forgot what my body felt like when I worked out.  So far I have a minni streak going,  I have done 30 minutes of excercise every day or more.  I want to see how long I can continue this streak.
 
The routine I think I've settled on thus far will be two fold.  1.  Back to my powerlifting roots.  One thing I took away from Jamie was the reminder that muscle burns way more calories than fat does so if I add muscle I can create a fat burning machine.  My goal for this is benching at least 275 for 5 reps by the end.   2.  I'm doing the Johnny Cake Jog!  There I've put it out there, now I have to.  It is the week before our final weigh in.  I did it in in 2009 and finished in 1:09:16,  my goal is under 1 hour.  Sounds like a lot but I think with the weight drop which should increase speed about 2 sec/5lbs and 6 months of training it is achievable, though it will take commitment.
 
 
Continuing to use SPARKPEOPLE and started using my RUNNERSWORLD tracker again.  I am a numbers person.  I like to see improvement through numbers and plan it out.  makes me feel in controland I need to be in control of my wieght or my weight is a beast that runs wild.  I track everything.  BMI,  CAL in, Cal out,  AVG daily calorie balance.  I know I'm crazy I enjoy it. LOL
 
 
THINK LEAN MY FRIENDS!
Michael
