I just felt like an update so here goes..  I’m about 8-9 weeks into my new training.. and the stride I aluded to in my previous entry (See: "The New Determination" below) happened.. it happend in the last few weeks.. I am down 6 pounds and .6%BF in the last few weeks.. since the beginning it’s about a 1.3 pound per week rate.. which I am completely comfortable with now.. knowing it’s more BF than muscle.. the stride came to a head with TDay.. and yes I stuck to my diet though instead of the chicken and tuna I did have turkey.. lots of veggies, and after a few days of low carb I had leftovers as my high carb day.. so I got the best of both worlds by working it into my diet strategy..  now that that’s over I got my rest this weekend and did my extended cardio this morning before the weekend warriors got to the gym.. getting ready for my last run of 08.. I’m really excited about where this is going.. at the 1.3 pound rate I’m now really looking forward to spring.. there have been no signs of slowing down.. maybe a few higher than normal fatigue days but everything has been progressing well..

Stocking up tomorrow on more food.. and with my passion for the culinary arts I haven’t gotten tired of bland foods.. keeping things interesting in the kithen is something I love.. oh and of course the non caloric world of herbs and spices.. I’m seriously considering adding a second session of cardio at least a couple times a week just through the end of the year just to see how I feel and if it helps keep things in check and progressing.. we’ll see.. Also in the works is to unbury my cross trainer and weights (from a move not neglect) making my pre breakfast cardio a possibility again.. The training in the gym is progressing so well, I’m still far from my old strength in some movements, but right there with others which is great.. my focus has been to bring up lagging parts from the start this time.. traps and rear delts are a couple I focused on and have seen it in the mirror.. My low back is another that I totally keep in the front of my mind at all times both when working on it and doing everything else.. I have a few tricks up my tight ass sleeves for the next few weeks to try so with all this motivation, anticipation, excitement, and fortitude I hope to have another awesome update in 4 weeks time!!
