Reformed Fat Bastard [fitness log]

[mmuhr2]

so my old log was at: http://www.sherdog.net/forums/f49/reformed-curl-monkey-strength-log-629051/index12.html

basically it died because i was finishing up my last semester in college and i didnt want to "waste" my time on working out. needless to say i paid the price. but now i have graduated and im hoping that this log will be "for life" so to speak. no more, "im gonna do this until christmas break, then this until spring break, etc" because those breaks dont exist for me anymore. i dont quite have a set plan yet but i figured id better just get started and take it from there.

stepped on the scale this morning and checked in at 224.2/25%. id estimate my "natural" bodyweight to be about 205/21 so those numbers shouldnt be hard to attain but id like to hit about 185/15 eventually. weightlifting is a strong point, cardio definitely a weak point but ill try and balance the two. im going to log workouts as well as occasionally throwing up my nutrition intake for a given day just to make sure im staying on track. any feedback is welcome/appreciated but im hardly a noob on these boards, just a lazy bitch.

without further ado...

5/22/08
workout
started deck of cards (tire flips, tire jumps, sledge swings, and situps) but i got way ahead of myself. difficulty was way ahead of my cardio level and the cards were blowing away in the wind and i got tired/frustrated so i stopped about halfway through ~13:01

Diet from here on out shall be done on a random or by request basis. If I see I haven't logged one in a while, I'll try to get one up. If you guys call me out on slacking off and think I might be cheating, I'll log the next day for you.
