193.5

I stepped on the scale this morning and saw that I weighed 193.5 - 9lbs less than when I started. Not bad! I'm currently doing a modified version of the South Beach Diet which basically means I try to avoid any and all white flour (bread, rice, pasta), sugars, and starches like potatoes. I do tend to cheat a little here and there, but as long as I continue to slowly lose weight, I think I'm ok.

Gym-wise, I've stepped up my normal workout routine and am pushing much heavier weight. I use an excel spreadsheet to keep track of my workout and at the top of the form, you enter in your max bench press and squat. The first time I went through the 10 week program, I used 135lbs as my max bench and 155 as my max squat. After completing the 10th week, I actually tested my real max's and it turned out I can bench 175 and squat 210. So inputing those at the top changes a bunch of numbers around and now I'm much more sore after workouts :)
