The Definition of "Insanity" -
Doing What You Always Do - And Expecting A Different Result
This definitely seems to be me. I have great intentions, a great plan, but my follow through is often inconsistent. I will keep working at it and slowly but surely, meet my goals.
Stats:
Age--35
Weight--143; 139.8 (-3.2)
Chest--38 1/2"; 37 1/2" (-1")
Waist--31 1/2"; 30 1/2" (-1")
Hips--37 1/2"; 36 3/4" (-3/4")
Thigh--21"; 20 1/4" (-3/4")
Bicep--11 3/4"; 11 1/2" (-1/4")
Bodyfat--30% based upon Tanita, but it is probably at least 34%;

In order for me to accomplish this, I need to
3) Be consistent in my diet and training. I will log everything in my journal. I have been terrible keeping up my journal. I need to log everything. I typically do this on paper (which I have been slacking on, but have a hard time keeping up on my online journal
Nice job to everyone for continuing on. I know that some are doing great (congratulations!) and others who may not have made much progress (at least in their eyes), but I think consistency is what is important and the continuous reminder to get back on track to reach our goals.
