April goes by

Monday, May 4th, 2009

Yup I fail at updating my web site, I know. Just stupid busy and stressed with work and school. I’m managing though.

My weight loss has slowed down a bit, only 5 lbs a month for the last 2 months. Should change this month though. I have a little challenge going with 2 co-workers. We are all going to try to lose 15 lbs in the month of May. I’m not sure that my body is capable of it, but I’m going to really try. Have been hitting it hard already the last 4 days of the month.

As always I’ve included new photos on my progression page.

Goal Progress

Bench 185 lbs - Have been working on my push-ups more but I am able to bench 155

Curl 100 lbs - No progress here

50 push-ups without stopping - I’m in the mid 20’s now with what I can do before I need to stop for a min

5 minute plank - 2.5 minutes. Have been doing crunches and leg raises though in place of planks for a bit

Run 2 miles without stopping - Done! I’m actually able to run 3 without stopping and am changing the goal to 5 miles.

Lose 15 lbs in March - Nope. Aiming for 15 lbs in May.

Get to 200 lbs by mid April - Fail. I feel like part of it is that I’m lifting more and differently. So I’m gaining in lean muscle mass and it is offsetting the fat lose.

175 lbs by July 4th - I don’t think this is doable, but I’ll leave it as a goal for now.
