This weekend marks one year since I started my weight loss journey.  The time has gone by so fast and so slow at the same time.  I would have never imagined as I sat, at this very moment last year, eating my last uber-greasy fast food burger and fries as my last binge meal, that I’d be where I am now.  I measured my stats and BF% this morning.  I’m down to 12.6%, off another tenth since last month, while gaining 3 pounds.  

I just wanted to publicly thank all you guys.  I’ve learned so much from you, been inspired myself from your experiences, and from the PMs and emails I’ve gotten, I’ve been able to inspire some of you.   We are all in this journey toward the body of our dreams together.  If there is anything I can do for you, just ask 

And as for the celebration? 

I’m gonna participate in a little "contest" with Jim and a few others.  The rules are pretty simple.  We post our current complete stats, pics, and a goal we want to achive in three months.  30 November we’ll update everything and see of we made it.  The reason is so that we can help, motivate, push — whatever you want to call it — into breaking into new ground for each other.  My goal goes along with my bulk.  Since I want to be +20 pounds from my low by Feb 1, I want to gain 10 quality pounds between now and then.  That would be 15 pounds of muscle gained since June  The stats as of this morning on the board are unpumped.  I’ll do some pumped stats later today (upper body) and tomorrow (lower body) at the gym.  (It’s been a while since I’ve done those.)   I’ll put all the results on the blog too.

Last Labor Day weekend, I had greasy fast food at a fireworks display.  This one — I’m eating clean on my diet and going to the gym .  I’ll enjoy this one more.   I’m gonna drive every rep to the full, eat big and clean.  Everything I need to do.  Look out J, here I come :D
