Decided to book a trip to Florida in April today.  36 days to rid myself of the body fat.  Have been very strict with the lifting the last month or so but not so great with the eating.  Holding still at 191-192lbs.  Seemed to hit a plateau with the weights for a few weeks then all of a sudden last week went from 60’s to 75’s on dumbell chest and squats went from 185 to 215 which is a personal best for me.  200 lb squat was a long time goal for me since my legs are by far my weakest link.  Did heavy leg workout today, squats 8×185,8×205,8×215, dead lift s10×135,10×155,10×175, leg press 12×270,10×320,10×360,6×410 plus whatever the sled weighs.  Interested to see how the wheels feel tommorow.  Just need to shed another 6-7 pounds in the mid section.  I discovered the last week or two that if you pick up 80lb dumbells you will do them, or if you pick up 60’s you will do them and they will still feel heavy.  Need to push myself, my limits are all in my head.

Happy with the progress so far.  It is now about 10 weeks on current program.  Arms and shoulders are great and quite happy with thickness of back but the legs are lagging.  I have a hard time with eating the right amount of food.  Either I eat to much and put on 3-5 lbs. or I don’t eat enough and I find I run out of steam halfway through my workouts.  With upper body you can cheat a little but its hard to cheat on squats, leg press etc.  For the most part I am eating 6 times, lots of protien and protein shake after lifting.  Lifting four days a week.  Monday(back,chest,arms), Tuesday(legs,shoulders), Wednesday(cardio), Thursday(back,chest,arms), Friday(legs,shoulders).  Currently weighting aprrox. 190-193lbs.  Suggestions welcome!
