I haven’t been around.  Mostly due to time, but also lacking a little motivation.  I’ve been hovering around 200 and 199.  The only time I saw below 199 was right after a stomach bug.  Not a cool, or permanent way to lose the weight.

I’ve joined a gym and hired a PT to help me get to my goals a little more efficiently.  We’ll see what happens.  SO far I like the way he can catch things in my food log that aren’t so good for me - unhealthy foods in disquise.  I’m getting the hang of it and really know most of it - it’s just a matter of DOING it.  There’s a little more accountability too.  He’s not shy in telling me if I’m screwing up!    I like that. 

His workouts have me doing high reps with a circuit type of workout while engaging most of my muscles.  It’s killa!  I seem to be making strength gains rather quickly.  Either that or I’m adapting to the type of workouts he’s putting me through.  Maybe both?

My eDiet’s PT thinks I could be ready to train for a figure competition in 2009.  My weight loss is slow going and keeps me in a state of doubt.  Trying not to get consumed by that feeling, but it weighs me down sometimes.

Anyway - still alive and kickin’!  Looking for a new short term goal to kick start my motivation.
