I thought I would add to my results, since everyone else is posting a more indepth summary. So I have quoted what I posted earlier, and I'm adding commentary after that.

Considering I didn't set a competitive goal, I achieved 637.7/640, 99%.
I would give myself an A- overall. I achieved everything I set a goal for.

Addendum:
Nutrition:
I met my nutrition goal and even went a little beyond the goal. I had 104 out of 122 possible points. My goal was to reach 103 which is 85%. I should have been able to do better than this, but with a holiday vacation and a few days of not caring it just didn't happen.
Personal:
I met my weight goal of weighing 150 pounds. I weighed myself today and was 150.8 pounds for a net gain of +7.6 pounds. According to my Tanita Scale, I've precisely stayed at the same body fat percentage (10%). So the majority of this weight gain should be lean muscle. In the near future, I want to work on putting my food intake on fitday again to see if I can further increase my weight. I've had good success with using fitday in the past.
Workout:
I met my goal of meeting 90% of my workouts. I made 16/16 long walks to relieve some stress and to get a little light work done. I made 20/22 weight lifting sessions. The weight sessions were great. I got my endurance back and managed to increase my lifts by 10-15 pounds on most lifts. Maybe more on some. One thing I do need to work on is keeping a lifting log so I can be more accurate on my improvement. I've done this in the past and found it really helpful. I don't know why I didn't this time.
Competitive:
One negative, in a sense, is I didn't meet my competitive goal. There wasn't really anything I was interested in doing, so I never set a goal. I can't stand the weather here, so doing things outdoors isn't very fun the majority of the time. I feel that if I would have truly set a goal and trained for it in order to complete the event, that it would have had a negative impact on my other goals.
All in all I am very pleased with my results. I can see that hard work really pays off. I'm going to take a week off I think and start over again. I started noticing that my workouts were fading a bit towards the end, so I either didn't eat enough before the workout, or I was starting to overtrain a bit.
Well, that about raps it up for this challenge. If there are any questions anyone has, I would be more than happy to answer them. Next time I hope to get some body measurements so I can see how much I've grown if any.
