so i did make my december goal. kinda blew it out of the water. i was afraid i wouldn’t because of the holidays and all the cheating. i think on the morning of jan 1 i hit 219.9, compared to my goal of 221.5. i’m very happy about that. my goal for january is 215.5. i’m hoping to hit that and beat it by 2 pounds. i’d like to be 213 flat when i go to international bear convergence on february 7. imagine, going to IBC and trying to lose weight. it’s not so stupid. i am planning on losing a lot of fat and then start serious powerlifting with proper nutrition. i’m hoping to start doing this program around 200 lbs (end of march). from that point on, i will ty to power lift 6 days per week and swap out 20 more pounds of fat for 20 pounds of muscle. i would like to reach that goal by the time i go to europe on august 10. it’s a lot of work, but i know i can accomplish it if i put my discipline into it and set the goals strictly. until i hit my 200 pound weight, i will continue to pull less than 2000 calories per day net average and do aggressive cardio workouts.
