I've been through a lot of highs and lows over the past year. More lows than highs, unfortunatly. Its time to change that.

Mission
Lose 25lbs over the next three months

Why
I currently weight 253.0 pounds. Last September, I started college at 230 pounds. Losing 25 pounds would put me back at where I started school.

How I Will Accomplish This
I plan to start moving more. Simple as that. I have started learning Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, which is a great workout. I will be going to practice one to three times a week. As well as walking outside and possibly buying a bicycle to ride to work and back. Also, lifting will be done three times weekly. Alternating upper body and lower body workouts.

Diet wise, I plan to make sure to get my lean proteins and healthy fats in. From there, different carb sources will make up the rest of my calories. I will do my best to make the majority of these calories from complex sources but I live an active life style and am always going to concerts, baseball games, and out with friends. Skipping out on these things and or watching everyone else enjoy food and drinks isn't worth it for me. Rather, I'll just limit my portions and drinks. As well as remain very active to negate the extra calories.

I see your journals popping up all the time. My question to you is... are you making progress? Your journals seem complete and in depth so I would assume so. Stay focused and I'm sure you'll get your desired results. good luck.

Where are the pics? You need to post them ASAP with that code I gave you or I need to give you another code. It is for the accuracy of the current state of your fitness level. As soon as you post them, then I'll pin it for official entering of the contest.

Thanks,
GD

BJJ lasts an hour on Tuesday and Thursdays but we are getting a new facility and that will go up to an hour and a half starting next month. Sunday is open training and lasts between two and three hours.

4/9/07

Squat: 3x5, 1x8
175x5x3 sets, 135x8

Barbell Row from the Floor: 5x5
135x5x5 sets

Incline Bench Press: 3x5
135x5x3 sets

External Cable Rotations: 2x12
5x12x2 sets

Notes: My core is very weak and I have to work real hard to keep from folding up like an accordian while doing squats. Even with 175, what the fuck happened to me?!

Incline benching doesn't agree with my shoulders. It felt like something was moving in and out of its place in both of my shoulders. Flat bench doesn't hurt my shoulders so I will do them next time.

My routine is pretty simple and I will probably keep it like this for a month or so. Just a few basic exercises to get me back into the swing of things.

I need to make sure to stretch and do my core work when I'm in the gym. I planned on doing both at home today and yeah, that didn't happen.

Good Luck and work out hard I will be keeping a close eye on your cutfest. Looks good so far.

Looking forward to seeing some great progress from you.

HANDLEBARS

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs. —Thomas Jefferson, 1802

don't worry about the core, it will come as you progress and all of your lifts will come back in no time. Stick with it. good luck, cut weight.

Okay, I've been really sucking at life this past week. I ate like a pig and drank like a sailor and didn't work out once.

I made some changes today and will update tonight.

Your going down jake.
