October 16, 2011

I feel great.  My throat is healing up and I was able to run 2 miles after lifting this morning.  Overall, I feel like I've improved a lot since the beginning of the test group.  I'm able to fit into clothes that I haven't worn since freshman year of college.  The dress shirt I wore to a friend's wedding last weekend was a small.  I've NEVER worn a small before.
I see more and more the importance of strengthening one's core.  My posture is better and when I did squats earlier my form was a lot tighter so I was able to put up a little more weight than before.
My family has gotten used to me eating healthier foods so they try to do the same.  We never have a meal without vegetables and there's always plenty of fruit to snack on instead of chips and sweets.
My main goal is to finish with the same motivation I had coming into the 8 weeks and drop my weight to 155.
This week: Don't let my feet touch the ground (if they aren't supposed to) during a core workout.  It's been my Achilles heel since day 1.
