The end goal is 240 lbs and 12% body fat. Which means putting on 14lbs more muscle and dropping 17 more pounds of fat. The intent is to get this done over the course of the next 4 to 6 months........as things progress goals may change as my trainer says this is a fairly aggressive goal.......but I am gonna giver.

Does this mean you have to see-saw constantly every few weeks in eating habits and exercise regimens?
Keep up the good work, Shawn. You're putting most of us to shame!

I seldom buy bottled water, I reuse the bottles I like. I just drink tap water. Saves money. |
I just buy a big bottle of el cheapo water a day on my way to work. 4 servings right at around $1. I know I could be saving money, but a dollar a day doesn't feel like much until I start adding it up.

I really need to start pushing the fluids again!
I know this sounds lame, but I was in too much pain to weigh in last week. I almost killed me bend over to pick up something I dropped! (I lifted and moved our 1983 27" TV into a newer entertainment center)
I am looking forward to this week's weigh in, and am afraid of it eqally.
Maybe I can flush out the icky stuff with more water, throughout the day.  |
Hope you're feeling better, Dan.
