So I entered a % weight loss contest at work with 2 other guys. Probably a dumb move being I’m the smallest in the competition. One guy is 6′7" and 294lbs, the other is 5′11" and 212lbs. I’m 5′8" and 180lbs. So, I really have my work cut out for me. I figured if I can push myself to get down to 170lbs, not only will I be fairly cut, I will have lost about 6% body mass (hopefully all fat). My plan is to finally be strict on my diet by counting calories and watching fat intake. Not to mention change my workouts to 90% cardio and 10% resistance training. I don’t want to lose the lean mass I’ve gained over the last year, but I don’t want to bulk at all. It’s going to be a trying 2 months. But, I think I can do it.

So, it’s been a year now and I have seen results. However, I slacked off this summer when my schedule was busy… no excuses, I could’ve done better. My diet still isn’t great, but it has improved. It does help that every time I eat too much, or anything with any sort of grease in it, my stomach gets VERY upset. I just have to learn to adjust what I eat because I tend to just tolerate the pain as I eat my comfort foods when I’m stressed.

 Hopefully I will be on this site more, with pics to follow. Happy training to all.
