Goal Update

I like to re-assess my goals at the beginning of the month. In February, I trimmed 1" off my waist. In March, it was 1" off my arms. I want both to move together, if possible, so April I don't want to favor my arms over my abs.

My April Goals:
1. Boxing /Kickboxing 2x week
2. Heavy Lifting 3x week
3. Other cardio 2x week (I'm going to cut back running to 2days a week)
4. Get to 40 consecutive push-ups (at 30 now) on my toes
5. Core 60 minutes a week
6. Eat as clean as possible
7. Reduce bodyfat to below 30% (at 32.8% now)

Longer-term goals:
- Size 8 end of May (currently inbetween 10/12)
- 100 consecutive push-ups (currently at 30)
- Strength training / lifting 3x week
- 5 pull-ups
- running entire half marathon in August
- run an 8K under 50 minutes.
