Reflections

I'm not upset by the smaller than expected weight-loss.  I had an explosive week for exercise and I played outside more than I have in years!  I had almost 5 hours of low level cardio just from walking and playing (and a little yard work, which I enjoyed).  I'm going to keep up this level of activity and I know that I'll see the results I'm looking for.

My diet went really well this week as well.  I got in a shipment from GNC of new vitamins, one of which being a new protein powder that I love!  

I've got some good sunlight this past week with a little bit of burning that should fade into a nice tan.

Goals for Next Week

Just because I didn't meet my goal for April doesn't mean that I'm going to miss the boat entirely.  Weight, like age, is just a number.  It's how you feel that is most important.  I feel awesome, therefor I am awesome.

I want to stick with my diet.  Still no cheating.  Depending on how the week goes, I might throw in an I.F. day.

If I can keep on this gym routine, I'll be doing awesome.  I'm going to be bringing in some outside help this week in the form of a personal trainer.  (More about him later)
