The Goal and Stats

The Goal:  I plan on losing about 8% bodyfat (about 16 lbs) through a combination of diet and exercise. Weight will be a factor but the way I look in the mirror will be more important. I may possibly gain some muscle while shedding some of the fat, though not likely. I'm going to continue weight training to maintain as much muscle mass as possible throughout this process.

The Stats: Currently I weigh 205 and I'm hovering closer to 20% body fat judging by the pictures I've taken, that's motivation in and of itself! I turned out bigger than I thought on camera (Pics will come later in the week). 

My current stats for weight training; 

Bench Press - 325 for 7

Squats - 275 for 8

Deadlifts - 275 for 8

I hope to bring up my Dead Lift and Squat as I continue this program as these stats are pretty lopsided.

Progress: 

Monday - DC weight training in the morning, then walked (about 3 mph pace) for 45 minutes directly after.

Today - Got up at 5 (ugh) took 2 Oxyelite Pro (more on my current supplements in a future post) and took the dog for a walk (3mph pace) for 35 minutes.

So far I'm feeling good about everything, it's easier than I thought it would be to get back into it. I guess because I've been chomping at the bit to get going. I feel motivated and productive today, a nice side effect of morning workouts.

Later this week I will post pics as well as my full plan of attack.
