Making Progress
So, after months and months of maintaining the same body weight (plus or minus a pound or two, depending on how much water I’ve had to drink), I’m finally starting to shed the excess flab around my middle. I’m down under 200 pounds and (knock on wood) I think I’m stabilizing there. My body is notoriously hard to change. It is resistant to nearly everything I throw at it. I suppose that’s good, because it means that it tries very hard to maintain its stasis. However, it does make it that much more difficult to move up or down the scale when I want it to. But, as I said, I think that’s behind me. Now that I’ve convinced my body to give up the fat, it should be smooth sailing from this point forward.
My ultimate goal is to weigh about 190 to 195, with about 7% body fat. Those were my statistics when I got out of boot camp, and I was in the best shape of my life then. If I can get back to that high water mark, I will be one happy man. Wish me luck.
I increased the number of sets that I’m doing in my workouts beginning this week to see if I can speed up my metabolism a bit. That strategy worked two years ago, and have every expectation that it will work again. I’ve also started another twenty-one day cycle of Animal Stak. Let’s see if I can build some quality lean muscle.
