I am still at it just not as much progress as I would like. I have raised my water intake to 7ltrs a day, my workouts with the bowflex are 3 days a week cardio has not been much lately though I have been walking a lot more in the cold of Iraq. I am still doing the combat conditioning 3 days a week so I am always doing something, also raised my protein intake and kept my carbs the same but cycling them from low to moderate never high. because everytime I eat high carbs I get extremly tired an hour afterwards. So therefore I know they are not good for me. If you get tired after eating you either ate too much or the wrong foods. After my work outs I have a shake with 8 ounces of gatorade and 60 grms protein,Voy Tech"ORXY" Goat whey. It really helps to fuel my muscles. The Goat whey is because I am lactose intolerent and there is not lactose in the goat protein.I haven’t checked my weight or taken measurements lately waiting til I get home on leave next month and I’ll post those and new progress Photos.  I plan on doing boxing cardio while on leave along with going to a gym to do the weights hopefull it will rejuvinate me to get closer to my goals. Also will have my wife working out with me she says it’s away to be together so we’ll see. It will be hard for me since I am not used to having a partner to workout with.

This year I have the same goals to lose as much body fat as I possibly can and build some more lean muscle. I have the goal the plan and the knowledge. I need more desire also better diet but I have to make do with the food the Army and KBR give us to eat which has very low to no nutritional value. I do have the supplements and some of the foods I get sent , canned meats ie; tuna, chicken, turkey, and salmon. I eat 5-8 meals a day mostly high protein. I am pushing my work out program I wil start to do 3 sets 50 rep on each exercise and then up it to 6 sets 50 reps on the exercises, this is for Bowflex on my calistantic exercises I just do until I can do no more reps then I am done still doing cardio on my stepper but now twice a day.
