Tricked You!!! (Memorial Day Update)

So, you see that I haven't posted since March. What do you assume? Oh, he fell off the bandwagon, couldn't keep it up, blah blah blah.

Wrong.

Truth is, I just got so busy that I never found time to blog. Sorry.

Before I get to this milestone update, I'd like to thank Billy, who was my inspiration and mentor through this process. He showed me the way to health.

So, I had some goals set for Memorial Day. How did I do? I'd give myself a B. I weigh 165, which is not the 160 that was my goal. Lots of stuff happened in April and May that derailed that last five pounds:

1. My body REALLY did not want to lose that 5 pounds.

2. My mind got tired of going to bed hungry.

3. I got busy at work, and I was sent to LA for a week.

4. I hurt my back, so I had to stop lifting. I began a running program, but the results were not the same.

So my plan is to maintain 165 and my current measurements until October. Then I'll start a program to lose more fat and gain more muscle.
