Yes, it's a boring name.

Background

I've been training NROL for about nine months now. I've been through FLI, FLII, HI, and HII. That brought me through to December. I spent the first half of December doing Oly lifts, which were a new revelation in pain

Last year, I swore off weighing and measuring for the year on account of several metric tons of external stress–relocating in the Midwest, new job with lots of hours, house sale stress, yadayadayada. I was content to hear kind words from my wife–she wouldn't lie, right? Back in NJ for the holidays, I can't say how I'm unhappy to hear friends and family ask, "Have you lost weight?" and being able honestly to answer, "I've NO idea, I've not weighed myself in over a year."

This Years Goals

Time to move from "Generally eating more or less clean" to "Paying attention to WTF I'm eating."

I'd like to get my behind into Sub-200 territory. I respond well to low carb, so I guess I'm off beer and on whiskey.

I've been thin, and I've had muscles, but never at the same time. After I get down sub-200, I'll reevaluate my size and see where I'd like to go from there.

First Six Months of 2007

Adam's Diet — I've always responded well to lo-carb diets, but I didn't have great energy for workouts. So this is a no-brainer.
NROL Fat Loss I-III — Again, something I did well on last year. 3-days a week (S-T-Th) with martial arts on alternate days (M-W). Metabolic Overdrive on lifting days. OUCH!
Weigh no more than once a week. Experience tells me that, generally speaking, my weight has the least noise if I consistently weight myself Sunday morning after *COUGHS* and before breakfast. For me, weekly is the best plan.
No measurements until June. Too many things going on, too much to worry about.

Where I'm at Today

I'm 5' 9-1/2" (176.5cm)
247lb (112kg)
Waist 46" (116.8cm)
Chest 46" (116.8cm)
Wrist 7" (17.8cm)

I don't know where I came from, but my NJ dojo put me in a size 5 gi, whereas I was a 6 last year, so I'm at least "thinner" if not lighter.
